What are they talking about? I don't remember this pressure for decades? Women have been getting married later and later for decades.

[Lizavetta]

This "pushing back" has been soooo successful too. Women seem refreshingly happy and satisfied these days!

NOT.

[Jonty30]

It’s likely due to the lack of opportunity for women to reach these milestones than anything else. We’ve made young men more immatire because we’ve removed the opportunity for them to establish themselves.

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shows women are “pushing back” and are instead prioritizing finding the right partner instead of rushing to hit “outdated” goals.

It's not a matter of choice for women - they can't rush to hit those "outdated" goals because the number of men willing to commit to marriage dwindles with every passing year.

[DoodleBob]

Interestingly, 1 in 4 men revealed that they’ve actively changed their behavior when dating, becoming more vulnerable and open with people they’re romantically pursuing than ever before. For a quarter of men, this new-found openness has had a positive impact on their mental health, and for 1 in 3, a lack of vulnerability is now a dating deal-breaker.

... stating 72 percent of women on Bumble are looking for a long-term relationship. “However only 23 per cent are actively seeking out marriage as a goal.

This seems to indicate that they are expecting that the "long-term relationship" will eventually end.

I wonder how they feel about being dumped when they're in their late 30s.

And demographic decline continues...

Our millennial Western society: Women don’t marry and have children, so we must import polygamist Muslims to repopulate.

[libh8er]

That’s true of women who are young and “riding the CC”. Things quickly change once they are past the early 30s.

This only works for a few years. After about age 35, there is going to be a lot of boxed wine and cats and “I won’t settle” echoing through empty hallways.

[NWFree]

Are these real women or men pretending to be women?

How can you tell? Who wants to check?

[webheart]

They are not pushing back, they are giving up. NY Post is putting lipstick on a pig. It all boils down to the difficulty of meeting a proper mate using online apps. Men want free sex, women want commitment. The shopping part is complicated by the fact that all of the men are vying for the 10% of the women based on them being most attractive, and all of the women are vying for 10% of the men. That essentially leaves 180% of the population out of the game. Wait. 90%. The top 10% of both cis genders are going to be guaranteed mates. A large proportion of the rest will have to turn gay. I suspect that the reason so many guys are gay is that they can have free sex without commitment.

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.

“ 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.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

“... 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!!.

[qaz123]

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.

[BobL]

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)

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.

[EnderWiggin1970]

The culture of self-extermination continues to celebrate its own demise. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that cultures that resist this pattern of cultural suicide will inevitably supplant the self-exterminators, not through violence but simply quiet growth and replacement.

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.
