How do you deal with the fact that while you are spending 5+ years in postgraduate education, all of the beautiful prime women are getting married to corporate men progressing well-ahead in their careers and finances, and once finished all of the undesirables will be what is left to pick from?

I met my wife in undergrad
Word to the wise, an attractive, conservative, chaste Christian woman with zero tattoos is STILL a royal pain in the ass. It's just who women are.
