SWF 37 going on 38 and quickly realizing that Mr. Right may not exist and that the chances of being a mother are decreasing everyday.

Hate to say it, but you're correct my dear. The Right ones were taken many years ago and what's left out there to choose from are mostly broken souls (in one form or another) or selfish takers.
Both sexes have become so hyper-superficial in the past decade (I blame internet 100%) that the traits of good character and kind heart are easily un-noticed because your shoulders aren't big enough or whatever (ding, ding! Me!).
Best of luck to you :)

maybe your standards are too high?
You still have options if you want to be a mother

1) Adopt
2) Freeze your eggs

Don't give up. My wonderful friend met a really nice guy online and she's 39. They don't want kids so I'm sure it's harder for you, but hang in there... and really put yourself out there.

If you come with a countdown clock and a laundry list of requirements for Mr. Right, you'll leave the same way.
If instead you bring patience, an open mind and a positive attitude, you may find something surprising and beautiful.
Be positive.

Men like myself like positive attitudes, oddly this city is full of whiners not winners.
Sadly, men also know it is about money because if it wasn't there would be no issues dating here. Hopefully you are not lazy and have your own place and a full time job that allows you to be self sustained.

I've stopped looking. I hate how cliche this is, but I figure if I'm supposed to be with someone, I will meet them, regardless of how long it takes. I did give up on the possibility of birthing my own children when I turned 31, but I'm still open to step parenting, adoption, or even fostering. There are lots of kids out there in the system that need parents. But, I haven't gone and done anything about it, so I must not want them that badly.

Sorry, us ethnic girls stole all your Mr Rights. Left you with just Mr Douche.

Make the most of what's out there. Those are your options
