After a handful of underwhelming relationships and dozens of disappointing first dates, Andrea Vorlicek recently called off the search for a husband.
The 29-year-old always thought she’d have found her life partner by now. Instead, she’s house hunting solo and considering having kids on her own.
“I’m financially self-sufficient enough to do these things myself,” said Vorlicek, a Boston-based accountant. “I’m willing to accept being single versus settling for someone who isn’t the right fit.”
She sees her plans for an independent future as making the best of a lousy situation. “I don’t want to sit here and say I’m 100% happy,” Vorlicek said. “But I feel happier just accepting my reality. It’s mentally and emotionally a sense of peace.”

She is living in Boston. It is a mistake looking for a woman in Boston.
No true Alpha, will wonder through a used car lot, and step in goo 🧬
Think of her kids. Raised by a single mom. She has absolute power over them. They will probably slash their wrists.
On the bright side, at least the kids weren’t aborted.
Yes. The women want absolute power. They want their share of the top 10% of jobs. Bricklayers, no, plumbers, no. fatalities in battle, no.
49er: A four who thinks she's a nine.
As Kevin Samuels would say, "you can't make this sh_t up" when an obese 40-year-old woman with four kids from three fathers claimed, over the chirps of her ceiling bird, that she deserved a "high value man"; over six feet tall, earning six figures per year, and has six-pack abs.
His recommendation would normally be "buy a dog and die alone".
A declining population coupled with AI replacing more and more labor with a shrinking of bureaucracy and regulation may well make for a steadily increasing standard of living.
Not all death is physical.
Were they ever able to have children?
Good point. I didn't think about that. The transition to an AI economy will be easier because we're an aging society.
If Trump can stop illegal immigration and a President Vance continues this policy, the second generation of immigrant parents will assimilate as did the Italians,Poles, Germans, etc.
If women were smarter and more mature, far fewer of them would be single mothers to offspring from different fathers.
We have the Ultra Orthodox in Brooklyn. They’ll continue to grow.
“Come on man, she has earned a man of her dreams.”
No, no, it’s the “paawtna of her dreams”.
“I see many men who are hard workers who have bought homes and toys.”
I spend a great deal of time on a college campus and see many motivated young men who strive for success. There are also many in the military and trade schools who are determined to achieve and work hard.
Meanwhile, far too many are sitting at home, doing nothing productive.
Given family courts and divorce, I can somewhat understand that.
Even secular Jews in Israel reproduce beyond replacement level.

You have to "hand" it to them.
