Dovid HaMelech: Yes, those two words are in the dictionary, but they are dated and old-fashioned. I think I’m going to ask older single women if they find these words insulting and I will get back to you. I will take a poll, because I can’t decide for these women.
We DO have a choice to get married or remain single. That is the difference between humans and animals. We can choose, they can’t.
So, it’s better to settle for someone just to say “I got married”?
