My daughter ( of marriage age) has stated there is nothing, absolutely nothing in her age group suitable for marriage. She has turned to “ hunting” older males, but most all have been divorced…..who wants to buy ” damaged goods”?
The same can be said for males looking for a wife….
After I divorced my first wife, we’ll call her “Satan”, I found an incredibly hot, masters degree educated clinician and six months later we were married. I was 53, she was 52. Approaching 4 years later, I couldn’t be happier. It CAN happen.
My oldest is in the same boat. Try finding a christian to marry or someone with maturity. Good luck! The last twenty plus years of America’s moral decline has destroyed our youth. I truly feel sorry for younger generation.
My daughter told me of her dating attempts (mid-20s), “There is Toxic Masculinity and there is No Masculinity but nothing in between!” She also thought the majority of guys she met were in the “No Masculinity” camp - and many of those are in the Army!
OTOH, my son says a lot of guys see no point in marrying someone who, 5-10 years later, will take half of everything they’ve worked for and move on.
If I was in my 20s, I’d seriously consider not marrying.
That's the big issue: the guys the average woman deems "suitable" are desired by multiple women.
A 30 year old guy with good income, tall, and physically fit will not be interested in the average 30yo career woman, when he can get a cute 22yo.
It’s like hopping into a car with the oil light on and saying “hey, lets drive across the country”
