Childish men are to blame for women having kids late in life
New York Post ^ | 05/13/2017 | Melanie Notkin

I hear the same story, told in different ways, all over New York City. There’s 34-year-old Kate, who works in finance downtown. “She’s beautiful, smart, talented . . . everything going for her,” her colleague tells me. “But her boyfriend doesn’t feel settled in his career, so she spent thousands of dollars to freeze her eggs as she waits for him to be ready.

>>>Kate was being a ho, now she wants a good guy!<<<

Please don’t trigger the millenials. Kate is being a strong, independent woman.

“Sad child like understanding.”

Tell that to the guys that have been beaten down by a wife-induced divorce, and left destitute by the family court system, where she gets the house, the kids, and alimony + child support, and can move in a new guy within weeks.

That’s not even counting potential fake charges of abuse and the alienating of a man from his friends and family by such.

Men are rightfully looking at this scam, and are NOT PARTICIPATING.

And what do you have to offer to assuage the real fears that men have?

Call them a child?

Come over and say that to my daughter’s face!! I dare ya! She’s beautiful and smart and athletic and she was in the freezer for four years. She says (at 5) that it was cold and boring in there, lol.

Seriously, do not discount the millions of “unwanted” embryos on ice as a wonderful way to make a family.

‘Moreover, today’s young, childless female city-dwellers with college degrees are out-earning their male counterparts by 8 cents on the dollar. Their higher incomes may be why they are less likely (29 percent) to be living with their parents than single men (35 percent).’

Gee that sounds like the real wage gap.

Kate can advertise for Sharia Islamic men.
They have legal protection against high risk, feminist family courts.

I think it’s kids the older women miss.

Men without children seem to never understand the powerful love they will be given when their child is in their arms, their lives. So they live great childfree lives.

Now, women who pursue their careers and have a great time through the early adult decades, often do have serious regrets when it’s too late to have kids.

So women putting off childbirth is now the men's fault?!
Well, maybe it is, seems the men who believed the feminist BS made a huge mistake.

Men tried to be more like women and instead became less like men.
Childish is one word for it. Wussified is another. Liberal is a third.

Feminism tried to change men, and women too, to fit their political agenda in defiance of human nature.
We are reaping the consequences now.

“Many people graduate from college at age 21 or 22. “

Ye, many do; however, the average of college students today is 27.


well, that makes it even worse for the college women then. Then they have even fewer years after graduating college and getting on a career path, before they hit that fertility/men/family/career crossroads, regarding whether then can have a baby.

Bull Crap, nearly ever woman I know who had their kids later in life fell into one of 2 categories....

1) wanted ther establishe career before settling down... or
2) was way too picky when they were young and took them a decade or more to realize they weren’t going to get perfection... believed they could wed outside their league because they could bed outside their league.

Very very few exceptions to this

Too many couples burden themselves with debt or expect relatives to spend huge sums on extravagant weddings when that money could and should be used more responsibly.

Why do women put up with men who are not ready to man up? You’re never fully ready for life, but men deal with it anyways - and so do women worth marrying.

I can think of several women who have come onto men-women threads with their guns blazing. Maybe one of the ladies of FR can tell us why men date guys who are not ready to wife them up. Ladies, care to tell us why?

Why would most millennials want to get married? How many of them go to church or believe in God, or Jesus as his flesh incarnate? If marriage is merely piece of paper that you get signed at city hall that may cause you legal troubles later why bother? Men can be wonderful supportive “baby daddies” without marriage, and women can have careers and children. Hook up with whomever you like as often as you like, after all your depo shot and your penicillin are free under Obamacare.

Why would the farmer marry someone who is statistically likely to take the farm that he worked so hard for?

If you get the milk for free, why buy the cow?


Here it comes back to some semblance of morality doesn’t it? Namely, that women need to be very careful and choosy about who she allows to be with her???? And that preferably that person will be her husband????

Men don’t want to overpay for what they actually get.

These are good rules to live by, for women to have happiness and family life. Many women would need to change the type of men they date, in order to get to the point where they can live their lives this way.

>>>Men don’t want to overpay for what they actually get.<<<

The typical single woman over 30 has a high asking price. However, by observing the men’s behavior, we can tell the men think the asking price is too high. Single ladies, especially post 30, it appears increasingly likely that all the men are actually willing to pay for your companionship is long-term dating, no kids. And remember to pay your half of the bills sweetheart.

Beautiful smart talented" career woman.

Here's a clue that could save women like Kate a lot of wasted time and heartache: when it comes to intimate relationships, men want a partner, not a rival. Emotionally, men want attachment, not competition.

Get it? Good.
