I hear the same story, told in different ways, all over New York City. ThereÂs 34-year-old Kate, who works in finance downtown. ÂSheÂs beautiful, smart, talented .â.â. everything going for her, her colleague tells me. ÂBut her boyfriend doesnÂt feel settled in his career, so she spent thousands of dollars to freeze her eggs as she waits for him to be ready.

I know men of all ages who would love to find a woman, fall in love, and have a family. The women who want this in return are scarce. Oh I know they always talk that way, but today’s women who are single and childless heading into their mid-30’s are women who don’t really like men much, and wouldn’t know how to love one if they wanted to.
Like Kate, they “need” a man,, but they don’t really want one. .

I don’t know, one of my dearest friends almost a daughter, is a young woman in her early thirties, who was a preschool teacher, who loves children, who would love to find a man who wants to settle down. Not many out there. She is a homemaker, a gardener and loves children. she would be great at home, although she enjoys her work. She would be an equal contributor.
Especially when you have already been living together for a few years!
The bride will wear white, but...
Hey I was just being sarcastic. Kate is just some dumb slut letting some man get love and affection for free. Hell, she’s probably paying half the rent. And she’s too blind to see that after living with her, he doesn’t want to marry her. If she refuses to see that he obviously doesn’t love her enough to spend the rest of his life with her, she’s not just a slut: She’s a dumb ho
That’s true. On the other hand, just because a woman is college educated doesn’t mean that they were capable of making a lot of money. Most things women major in are pretty worthless. Actually most things anybody majors in are pretty worthless these days.
Hey, don’t generalize so! Not all American women are idiots or self-absorbed.
I would say something about conservative women on the site Although over the last few days I’ve seen quite a bit of whiny, feminazi behavior on here.
“As Ive said, I dont think the women in the article really know what they want.”
That brings up a good point. Whenever you hear women being interviewed, or read their dating-site profile, they say they want “a romantic man who loves poetry and long walks on the beach”.
She finds that exact guy and marries him and, yet two years later, she runs off with Snake the leader of a motorcycle gang. When asked about why she left her “perfect” husband for Snake, she will say “Oh, he’s so boring. All he wants to do is recite poetry and take long walks on the beach.”
“I for one am worn out from paying for others to attempt to hit their constantly moving target .”
Sorry, I’m not following...what does that mean?
LOL!
When I was young, I probably wanted someone who liked poetry and nature; I got the nature-part, and keep the poetry to myself ;-)
I think women want men who are strong and have character; but are also kind and loving, sensitive to the feelings of others.
Is that too much to ask? Men have always expected the same out of women...
All very good rules, except for the five years older one. What’s that about?
Perfect.
From what I have seen, women think they can change men. Turn them into whatever it is they want. Without respecting who they really are at the moment.
I don’t see men thinking this way though.
95% of relationship drama are derived from living outside of that Biblical World view.
I saw a billboard the other day that said “Undo I do”.
This is how utterly stupid we have become.
In general, wrong.
Most women choose not to get married until they’ve played the field well into their 30s and female fertility drops quite a bit. What’s the point of marrying a used up ho who can’t even have kids? Men want young near virgin wives, not ex-hookers who didn’t even get paid for their services.
“I think that people are generally more selfish today than past generations, and neither sex has a monopoly on that. But I also know too many bright, idealistic young people to be depressed about the future. As a culture, we will learn from all of this and get over it.”
Very true JT. However I’m not nearly as optimistic as you are. I’m afraid we might go the way of Europe, which is a rapid descent.
As a national psychology/consciousness, we have a very different ‘pedigree’ than Europe does.
There may be some more rough periods, but I believe our best times are ahead of us.
In a fixed game, the only non-losing strategy is not to play at all.
I used to think so. But I think our morality and our prior penchant for rugged individualism has gone astray. Big government is now seen as the protector of all.
But I dearly hope I am completely wrong and you’re right :-)
