It’s also a case that most women have either given up on finding the right man or they honestly believe some great guy is out there willing to marry her and her brood.

Fortunately for me, I am not that great guy and I know enough to stay away from all the Octomums.

“Women used to rely on men, but we don’t need to anymore,” said Teresa Fragoso, 25, a single mother in Lorain. “We support ourselves. We support our kids.”

Nice attitude about men there Teresa. No wonder she could not fine one. I would dispute the last two "support" since I am sure I am helping support you and your brood.

As I'm reading this thread a match.com commercial comes on tv. Some 30ish woman is gong on about her important life of work, volunteering, running marathons...and there's not much time to meet men.

There is your problem. Men/families are an after thought for many women now. Personally, I wouldn't even be friends with a woman who thinks of a man as an accessory or hobby.

I tell my nephews: If they have child/children, make it your rule to avoid them.

Date ONLY single women with no children, and a job.

“It’s also a case that most women have either given up on finding the right man or they honestly believe some great guy is out there willing to marry her and her brood.”

Men have little incentive to marry, given the grim work outlook and even worse legal environment; this leaves women unable to secure commitment for a family (despite the bombardment from TV about men avoiding commitment and such). They don’t even want someone to marry them and their broods, just to pay for them. The enemies of Christianity are reaping what they’ve sown in destroying the nuclear family.
