The REAL reason why women are freezing their eggs - they are waiting for the perfect father
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 7, 2016 | Fiona MacRae

They are often portrayed as hard-hearted individuals who are putting motherhood on hold in order to climb the career ladder. But women who freeze their eggs are actually waiting for a man who is perfect father material to come along. Researcher Kylie Baldwin, who asked a group of women why they froze their eggs, said: 'I think they were looking for a hands-on father. 'And it was the absence of this particular type of potential father, not just the absence of any partner, that led them to freeze the eggs.

affluence makes up for a lot of bad choices....these women will just flitter on with their lives....

And they will "flitter on" alone.

They will enter the marriage market at a huge disadvantage to much younger, prettier, and less jaded women who will out-compete them at every turn.

I see it all the time.

How many guys think to themselves, “I want to date a CEO”?

Exactly. And I know one. A cousin who lives in my parents’ basement. Good guy, with issues, but he is ridiculous about this “perfectly sexy” woman. They aren’t getting any younger and the young aren’t going to want him.

There is no such thing.

But this thread allows me the opportunity to vent my rant related to this. Why?

Because the federal government (Obama) has legislated our inability to take advantage of current genetic medical advancements identifying vastly important information that many of us desperately need simply to deal with serious medical issues.

I am adopted. although I, as an adult, met my natural mother and father briefly, I have zero information about their medical history other than how old they were when they died, and the causes.
As it happened, my wife is also adopted, and she has even less information about her natural parents than I do.

As both my wife and I are over 65 and susceptible to inevitable impairment of old age, In late 2015 I decided as a Christmas present to give her a genetic profile report through the most respected Genetic and thorough service available at the time : 23 and Me. It offered two types of reports. one a report analyzing the percentages of world biological/cultural groups the DNA revealed, and the other, including susceptibility to serious medical predispositions revealed by her DNA; the first type of report half the price of the second. I opted for the more expensive one because the second report was critical to her future medical experiences, the first simply a curiosity. Neither of us had any interest or plans to "search" for relatives; zero interest.

I ordered the (DNA) kit in late November and returned it in early December.
When the link to her report arrived (the voluminous information needs to be accessed at the 23andMe web site,) it included no access to the medical informtion whatsoever!

In late December, it so happened that our Federal Government, in their infinite wisdom, ORDERED genetic analysis services to not provide medical predispositions revealed by their tests!
Why? Because the CDC or some other Federal bureaucracy was ordered to deem that information "practicing medicine without a license!"

WTF??

I have been stewing about that since then, with the plan to complain vociferously to my Federal elected representatives to have that arbitrary and capricious directive eliminated. I have not yet done so, but I will soon because I had planned to have my own genetic profiles prepared. But the a******s who rule us from D.C. are still in place. And I live in California, so any positive help from the two harridans representing me is more or less non-existent, and they are most likely to feed me BS, or or ignore me completely.

It may even be an Executive Order to "protect women" (returning to the topic of this thread) by preventing men from marrying women, who are by far most of the medical clients for facial and bodily surgical alterations.

Imagine clueless men, attracted to and marrying women who look like Melania Trump, but producing children who look like Webster Hubbell and Helen Thomas!

Shallow? Perhaps, but reality, as with Mother Nature, can't be fooled! or tricked.

These gals are gonna be out of luck.
So much planning, and such a bad plan.

I have been married more than once. One of the bits of wisdom I was lucky enough to learn over my long life...

Marriage will always be a leap of faith.

I sense a few issues with your post, well-intentioned though you may see yourself.
I am positive that you are female. Also I see extensive psychotherapy in your past. What was the main tipoff?

Your studious avoidance of the word "sex." That word is a neutral, central and necessary descriptive within all of biology. Sex is a descriptive of most living things; "gender" is a quality of words.

A real professional, unburdened examination of what I thought you were attempting, is the excellent 1997 book, Sex on the Brain, by Deborah Blum. I deem the title sadly misleading; snowflakes of all ages may deem it suggestive.

It is a serious book, professionally written, highly informative and thought provoking.

Wrong, a lot. No issues, wrong gender. What I wrote I have written about many times before on this forum. It was something of shorthand for those other writings. Much of it is backed by statistics.
