A lot of women want to marry and have kids, but are unable to find partners that meet their standards (height, income, educational status, etc).\
\
However, it seems to me that they could separate \"parental partner\" and \"sexual partner\" and \"biological father\" roles.\
\
For example, if you\'re a straight woman who has not found an adequate partner, why not find another straight woman who wants to do the same, and raise kids together?\
\
It would mean giving up on a committed relationship with a man, most likely, but then you both could have kids without \"settling\".\
\
Thoughts on why straight women don\'t co-parent more often?
