Meet a man, get married, have a family. That’s the timeline women have historically been sold as the most successful pathway to a happy life.
But despite that messaging being shoved down our throats at every conceivable opportunity, women have had enough. New data has revealed women are sick of the constant pressure to follow traditional relationship timelines, with 1 in 3 now stating they’re “no longer focused” on achieving the societal milestones.
The findings, uncovered in the 2024 annual dating report from Bumble, shows women are “pushing back” and are instead prioritizing finding the right partner instead of rushing to hit “outdated” goals.

I have never met an old person without kids that was happy.
And its even worse if they have no spouse! Then they have no one at all to take care of them or who cares for them.
But by the time you realize your mistake, it is too late.
“messaging being shoved down our throats “
Well that’s a lie. If anything it’s the opposite and there are millions of miserable career centric women to prove it.
No kidding. At one time, you found Mr. Atlas in the back pages of every comic book, every Popular Science magazine, every Popular Mechanics magazine and every Mechanix Illustrated magazine. No beta males or cucks back then.
Perhaps their outcomes would be different if they got their information from the singles in the growing evangelical churches. If you pick the pool of people you question, you're defining the expected outcome.
i could not agree more!
“ Meet a man, get married, have a family. That’s the timeline women have historically been sold as the most successful pathway to a happy life.”
No one “sold” it. It’s natural.
The opposite is true on what’s being “sold.”
Much to the detriment of women, and men for that matter.
“... unable to deviate from the traditional expectations around how a relationship should develop – move in together, get engaged, buy a home, get married, have a baby –...
Their “traditional expectations” are seriously out of order. First you date, get engaged, marry, move in together, buy a home, THEN have a baby, OR have a baby and buy a house. Buying a home together BEFORE you are married is crazy. No wonder their relationships go to he!!.
And due to TikTok and Instagram, they all think they’re going to be social media stars or corporate sharks.
Only to end up bitter to the end.
If we want women to get married, give them a damn reason - like a crappy life if single. That’s what made Western societies great, and the lack of doing that now (thanks to women voting) is what is DESTROYING our societies. (and sorry if I anger any Karens, I’m sick of being Mr. Nice Guy)
On one hand, considering whether particular kinds of relationships are the right course of action at a particular time is quite reasonable. On the other hand, considering where you will end up after a long-term but intentionally impermanent relationship is prudent.
When my oldest son, the New York ad guy and fashion statement, was here for Thanksgiving, I asked him whether he was dating. "Yes, but not very productively," he said. "Nobody wants to settle down." In his milieu, women in their late 20s are ambitious. They're happy to go out with a handsome, pleasant, and prosperous young man, but that's it.
I met my wife-to-be when she was 24, married her when she was 28.
The biological clock ticks on. Women who forfeit having children often regret it deeply.
This could mean aggressive retrogressive cultures like Islam, but it also includes groups like Mennonites/Amish and biblically grounded homeschoolers. The critical factor is to raise up children within the subculture so as to resist brainwashing by the suicidal majority culture.
I worked in NYC on 9/11, in Midtown/4 miles north of Ground Zero.
I worked from home 9/12; you couldn’t get in to Manhattan.
On 9/13, I returned to Manhattan. I had a conversation with a senior manager in her office. She lived near Ground Zero. When the door was closed, she cried. She recounted how first responder friends told her all they could find were fingers and toes.
At that moment, I knew my “job” wasn’t to be vulnerable, or reach for tissues as well, or become feminized. I remained stoic. I was not unmoved - I certainly reacted to that fact. I was understanding ….butI stayed resolute.
When someone is drowning, they need stability…something to keep them afloat. For centuries, if women were “drowning,” men were to be their lifeguard. The leftist push for men to become vulnerable, ie concurrent drowning victims, can only lead to two helpless people.
….which is probably their objective.
Then they realize nobody told them their body clock doesn’t wait for them.
40 - alone? Enjoy it.
Sureely the rural & small city areas will continue to biirth babies. But...in my small county weekly newspaper, deaths outpace births 2:1 or better.
Invest in stocks of boxed wine, and Pet Companies selling cats.
We talking real women or the fake ones? 🤣🤣🤣
Problem is, the right partner today might not be the right partner down the road. It’s always a gamble for both men & women.
