Why would a religious virgin in her late 50s still think about having kids and getting married?

There is this woman of 58 years old on another website I frequent and she lives in the deep South of the States.
She is very religious and she has remained a virgin her entire life. She has recently gotten into a relationship with a mechanic who never has time for her so she never sees him.
The other day she started talking about her getting married and having kids. She was serious and not joking.

I wonder if this person is so naive that she doesn’t realise that she’s way too old to fulfill her dreams or if she thinks religion will miraculously help her get pregnant at her age, or yet another possibility: that she has not gone through menopause yet and is still fertile?

At 58 years old there is a slight chance that she hasn't gone through menopause however it would still be next to impossible to get pregnant as things are operating properly.

Exactly and how long will she be around for her kid in the event that she got pregnant? Also the way she talks about love as a teenager and the way she calls herself a girl when she is already a granny in her late 50s. Recently she completed her GED. I mean, what’s that going to serve her at her age? It’s not like anyone is going to hire her at her age? Wonder what’s wrong with her. Are people in the deep South who were raised very religiously all this naive and dumb? @curiosi

@MarieJaneWatson They are scattered all about, it's not exclusive to one area.

@curiosi Do you know other people like her who are so out of touch with their time? I asked some other women on that site if they thought that the traditional gender roles were warranted and most of them actively advocated pro traditional gender roles and one said that the man needs to provide and the woman stays at home in the kitchen. Do you have open minded people in the deep South or are all those people there so dumb?

@MarieJaneWatson Not all of us are dumb.

I mean but do you have people in the South who don’t see abortion as murder and who don’t see gay people as a disease and who believe that women and men are equal? All these people from States like Georgia, Michigan, Florida, Texas, South Carolina that I have chatted with on that other website were all so medieval. They literally believed everything that was written in the bible, they all thought women who had an abortion should be locked up, they all thought that gay people go to hell. I truly was shocked that people living in a modern nation like the USA can be so dumb and uneducated. I thought that I was speaking to people who were raised in some poor African country. @curiosi
