Long article. I excerpted only a small portion.

THE news that 51 percent of all women live without a spouse might be enough to make you invest in cat futures.

Hasn't this already been debunked a thousand times? This stat includes 15 yr old girls.

[Perdogg]

Because of the increase of the relative mobility of american families which in turn, leads to social isolation, which in turns leads to single-hood.

Why are there so many single Americans?
Maybe because men are afraid to get married anymore.
I know if I was single in todays world I wouldn't want to take the risks.

Why are so many people single?

Simple: Our generation, the Baby-boomers made it possible.

No-fault insurance, no fault-divorce, abortion on demand, everything is OK "as long as it doesn't hurt anyone." Does that sound familiar?

We were once a tough nation, we are now a country comprised of pussies who can rationalize any action - so long as we benefit, and everyone else be damned.

How's that?

[AD from SpringBay]

Selfishness and self-centeredness.

[calex59]

The report about 51 percent of women being single was a fabricated report using false statistics. This has been proven, but of course when does a leftist ever pay attention to truth?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

notice the difference in how the MSM portrays this stuff...according to this article, 15 year olds are included as "women", but for all the anti-gun nuts out there spouting stats about how "children" are affected by violence, 24 year old gang-bangers are called "children" (as are these 15 year olds) so the stats fit the conclusion..so, they hear what they want to hear and disregard the rest..

[FightThePower!]

90% of people are un-date-able and the 50% who end up married get together because of alcohol.

[SMARTY]

Women in divorce proceedings, are a favored group and liberal judges basically rape men in the process of granting divorces to them. How can a man want to go into a marriage, from which he will NEVER emotionally or financially recover if she decides to leave him? He will have his children almost completely alienated from him and he will never get back on his feet financially. Not fair. Too much in that system encourages women to leave their husbands instead of working for reconciliation.( I know I will be assailed for this, here)

[Mr. K]

And what does this mean for us guys who would actually LIKE TO get married??

[Qwinn]

"As the number of people marrying has dropped off in the last 45 years, the marriage rate has declined equally for men and for women."

ORLY????

Considering that same sex marriage hasn't been legal for the last 45 years, I kinda find it hard to think how it could possibly be otherwise.

Thank you Captain Obvious.

ROTFLMAO!!!

[Proud2BeRight]

So the Slimes continues with a bogus story. I guess once you have been proven to be story writers, rather than story reporters, there is no need to use the truth.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Feminists have gotten what they wanted, a relationship climate hostile towrds men.

[mak5]

It takes the Times to continue to flog a story that was debunked a week ago...no, on second thought, has anyone seen Dan Rather recently? Is he writing for the Times under an assumed name?

[Rutles4Ever]

Are they friggin' kidding? Why are there so many single women today? The champions of "liberation" who turned motherhood and homemaking into dirty words are wondering why there are so many spinsters in the making?

LOL

[Lazamataz]

Why Are There So Many Single Americans?

Because many people are caught up in selfish needs and their ego-minds. Because many people are judgmental and incapable of unconditional love. Because many people are not living by the spiritual principles of honesty, open-mindedness, willingness, courage, faith, perserverence, gratitude, humility, and service....and finally, because many people do not have a connection to G-d.

I have been blessed to find a soul-mate who has these qualities, and I am delighted to develop these qualities in myself -- so that we can share one another's joy.

Did the poll include Hollywood actors and actresses?

It's as simple as: why buy the cow when the milk is free.
