I readily admit that many young men have issues.

But the young women are impossible. If I were young I would only consider a non-American wife.

Agree.

This is a book on the subject. The war on males begins when they are young boys:

Ha, ha, in my men’s group we were discussing how unattractive and psychotic American women are and that we should advise our boys to go look for a suitable wife in another country.

Well I haven’t been on the dating circuit for over 25 years now, but the feed back I get is that if you make a list of what most Millennial women are looking for these days only person that fits the bill is another woman. And that brings up another list of problems and answers a number of others.

If I were young I would only consider a non-American wife.

This reminds me of a very short but very poignant scene that came at the tail end of a documentary I saw many years ago.

A local Denver station's News dept aired an extended (20 min?) "human interest story" produced for a weekend feature show, that was obviously months in the making.

It featured a local man and a "Ukranian Bride".

He was into his 30s yet getting no closer to his lifelong dream - to start a family that mirrored what he had in childhood, namely a father who worked weekdays to support children and a wife who was a fulltime mother, at least until all the kids were in (or through) school.

He was an engineer who made way more than enough to support a family on his own salary.

He had an active social life including many young women friends, and had dated a number of them, but had still yet to find a woman who shared his dream.

Every one of them had bought into the feminist ideal of a career woman married to a career man, both with fulltime jobs and a double income to be enjoyed to the fullest, only a small fraction being needed to hire fulltime child-care.

Finally he gave up looking locally, and turned to a dating service that advertised brides from Ukraine, Russia and other former East Bloc countries. Many young women from regions experiencing threadbare economies, rampant alcoholism and tolerance of spousal abuse, yet who were raised believing in this same "old-fashioned," allegedly "obsolete" and pre-feminist-era dream of raising children in a one-income family, were willing to uproot themselves from their homelands to take a chance on a better marriage and better life in a foreign land full of strangers whose language they didn't speak.

The reporter & cameraman picked up the story sometime in the middle of the process of the engineer viewing videotaped interviews done with interpreters, sending his own tapes back, having phone conversations and letter exchanges, and finally settling on a woman who was tentatively designated as (hopefully) the right woman.

The TV people flew out with the local man to Ukraine, to film the two meeting for the first time to make a final decision on each other.

Then they showed the arrival in Denver of the bride-to-be. To help her adjust, the dating service introduced her to another "Ukranian Bride" who had married a local man, and they seemed to really hit it off .... obviously someone who could be of major support down the road.

Finally there was the wedding and the reception, ending with a scene I found very sad, very poignant. The photographer was sitting at a table with wedding guests including single female friends of the groom, in what was obviously a bittersweet day for them. One turned to talk to a friend, and I didn't write down her exact words, but they were along the lines of, "So, what is so wrong about us? .... Why couldn't he have married me, or you?"

It dawned on me that many TV viewers that day would also find themselves asking the same question, confused as to why the young man flew overseas to find a bride when there were these eligible young women around him?

But other viewers like myself didn't ask that question, because we knew the answer.
