“The angry young incel males and the lonely middle aged feminist cat wives find each other when they are in their 40’s and 50’s.”
But the author has a point - good luck in finding someone you can get along with at those ages, if you’ve lived alone virtually you whole adult life.
She might be counting an A.A. degree.
So I was watching a local Boston tv show about people with local businesses. One story that caught my attention was one about a woman who had a bake shop that she enjoyed. She mentioned that she had a degree in psychology but then quit to start the bakery. She wasted years and many thousands of dollars because no doubt her parents impressed on her the need to get a college degree. I wonder how many people have had a similar experience? College can be a ripoff if you are not sure what you really want to do.
“For women...if you want a good man, get him in your 20s. Do not wait until your 30s...”
I agree with you, and while I don’t recommend American Woman to people who I know, and my own kids, there are still a LOT OF GUYS who prefer American Woman, but they quickly become unavailable as they figure out they can pump-and-dump as they get older, or simply turn away completely from American Woman.
Well I think I'll avoid the misery part between being 38 and living happily ever after.
When you are young you think you always will be young.
bkmk
I have no problem with someone getting a degree and not using it, but 3 or 4? To be fair, it's almost always worth it to go to college if you can make it happen, and multiple degrees can make sense, but I know a lot of young folks who want to get another degree before they've even used the one they have.
Well you can just thank me from saving some poor guy from playing catch-up.
Yikes!
Good plan.
No, you do your share of complaining here.
“I’m 50 years old with four college degrees.”
Usually when someone brags about the number of degrees they have, they are a school teacher, and yes, school teachers rack up lots of degrees as they get guaranteed raises with each one - meaningless degrees, but still degrees.
As do you. Let us be glad we're nowhere near each other so we don't have to listen to the other one complain.
Mr Pickens! I thought you died.
Yes, let us be glad. It’ll hopefully do you some good.
... of The Slims!
I’m a boomer in my mid sixties. I can’t tell you how many of my friends made the same mistake as this woman.
So many of them prioritized career over family. Many of them let the clock tick by, and never had kids. Many didn’t even marry until their forties and fifties.
When we talk on holidays now, I can sense their sadness when I’m going on about my house full of kids and grandkids.
Women have their most options in their early 20's. They are cute, they have a young metabolism which makes it easier to stay slim. They have lots of guys wanting them.
Arrive at 30, and they have far fewer options. The best guys have mostly been taken, and many of the guys who are still single in their 30's are either single for a good reason, or are divorced, bitter and cynical.
After 40, women pretty much have to accept whatever they are offered, or stay single.
