Men almost always marry up; women marry down. So a man who’s an “8” is going to be eagerly snapped up by a woman who’s a “10.” 5. As a result, lots of nice women who want to get married, but are not gorgeous, have a smaller pool of marriageable men from which to choose. It’s logical that some women are going to remain single. The odds are not in their favor.

Depends on your definition of "up" and "down". While women may marry somebody less attractive than them, women usually will NOT marry somebody of lower education, social status, or income.

Meanwhile, a professional man will marry a waitress if she is sufficiently eager to please him.

Yup, feminist have sowed bad seed in the last 70 years and now all of us are reaping what they have sowed.
Yes, selfishness and self-centered ness is the trate you can see in most modern women thanks to the bad seed and indoctrination of femism.

I’d have married young if I had found the right man. But no amount of dating or introductions brought him into my life until I was 31. We got married two years later. He’s my soul mate, and I’m glad it happened the way it did.

The average obese American woman does less than FIVE MINUTES of cardiovascular excercise in A WHOLE YEAR.

That’s a real statistic.

She went against “ going with the flow and what’s popular “ and followed her heart ( and I do believe our dear Lord above directed her steps reguardess of what her friends said.)
She looked in the rearview mirror and saw what happened to her friends and never looked back.

And yet others figure, “Why buy (and be responsible for) the whole pig if I can just get a little sausage for free every now and then?”

More than half of the population are poor and undereducated. For those it pays to be on the system and have kids for money out of wed lock.

I had a supposed “ good christian woman “ tell me, that MOST women would not accept me because of the “ way I am “ ..... She was talking about my physical handicap and physical deformities.
You know what I told her ? ...... “ your not saying anything to me that I don’t aready know about women “......
Gee ? And just think ? We are constantly indoctrinated by the media that “ women are morally superior than men “.
We hear it from women all the time in the media that ? It’s the MEN who are shallow , superficial, selfish, and immature.

Have you ever seen a website of unmarried Democrat women seeking men?

And that's why middle-class American women will fight fiercely against any attempt to reduce welfare -- because they know that a poor young woman without access to welfare will try to be the mistress of some guy with money.

The younger women I know suffered through their parents divorce. As a result they are terrified of marriage.
