For one thing a lot of young men are going gay. For another thing women can dress provocatively and men can get in trouble for noticing. And also people are spending more time playing the field because it is a smorgasbord of temptation out there and nobody wants to be tied down when an opportunity arises.

More of the fruits of “feminism”.

No pun intended.

Two terms come to mind, as the root caouse for this....
“soy boy” and “bat$hit crazy”.

Divorce court isn’t stacked against men. However, it is stacked in favor of whichever spouse lies, cheats, or drives up debt, etc.

The younger generation is right to be cautious about marriage. Then again, they’re not being cautious if they’re “hooking up.”

Working with young people everyday men are NOT in anyway the way they used to be when I was young, I find them VERY IMMATURE!!! Women are not much better however women would like to be in a committed relationship much more than men!! When I was growing up BOTH men and women were looking for commitment and both were VERY OPEN to marriage and family!!

That's a major factor for me, they're not looking for commitment and they're immature. I won't call them "men." I get a lot of calls but I turn them all down. They're illiterate, or leftists, or they smoke, or they're atheists, or they drink, or they use illegal drugs, or they're living in the basement playing games all day, or they have a criminal record, or they're divorced with kids. But mostly, all they want is what I'm saving for marriage. That right there is a deal breaker for nearly all males.

Self-absorbed, lacking in self-awareness does not bode well for long term relationships......

Rosie Palm and her five sisters never say no.

Nor do they attempt to derail your Supreme Court nomination decades later over something that never happened.

The Left has done all it can to destroy the institution of marriage and the family unit as well.

Pretty well succeeded.

You may have inspired a vanity on this.

Because they've attacked all aspects of marriage, then all aspects of healthy heterosexual relationships, then all heterosexuality, and now they're sowing the ground with salt by teaching gender dysphoria and homosexuality to young children.

Absolutely.

It is hard for a rational person to look at all these efforts on the part of the Left, and not see a malignant purpose behind it.

Actually, pretty much any effort by the left leaves the same impression...immigration, abortion, voting law, healthcare...it all appears to be, and is destructive.

One has to wonder about those who do not see it.

They are using the “dating” apps to hook up. They don’t believe in the concept of family, marriage, or anything traditional, so why date in the first place? Life is all about getting your rocks off and posting photos on Instagram.

That's EXACTLY it. But it didn't start with Millennials. There are large contingents of Baby Boomers who have never married, or have married but never had children, or perhaps had one child.

I myself have always valued family and marriage, and in my senior year of high school met a like-minded young woman. We're still together and are enjoying plenty of grandchildren.

I share that only to point out that it is possible to live a traditional life if two people are serious about it.

the age of adolesence for men was up to 31 or something!

In the past, in order to enjoy sex, most men had to commit to the responsibility of family. That all changed when women discarded their chastity. The irony is, they also discarded their power.

my advice is to become a part of an insular religious community. The Amish, etc

There has to be something in between joining a weird cult and living like rutting pigs.

They don't even think it through that far.

Single doesn’t mean not having sex.

As opposed to the others who are not single, we are happy...

American women have been striving to make themselves more and more obnoxious since the late sixties. It’s no surprise that they have succeeded.

The irony is, they [women] also discarded their power.

Now they're trying to gain it back by coercion, shaming, political correctness, feminism, name-calling, whining, and manipulating.

Sorry, Honey. We're not buying what you're selling.

The institution of marriage hasn’t been destroyed.

But a healthy marriage takes work. By both partners.

And we’ve produced a generation unwilling to work. At anything. Including marriage.
