going to be an old grandpa.

At least, not happening here. Am I disappointed, yeah, because i’d be a great grandfather. At best, i am a distant surrogate uncle. It is what it is. My favorite grandson is Scotch.

Vorlicek, a Boston-based accountant.

I think I see the problem.

Most men in their 20’s are celibate and many choose to stay that way.

I doubt that.

These sociopaths working in the family court system didn't think for a moment that young men would witness their fathers and uncles get divorce-raped in the courts and thus decide they'd never enter a contract where the government inserts itself as an unwanted third partner.

You ask your fiance to marry you and some ugly, bitter, childless, Leftist harridan enters the marriage contract as a representative of The State.

Family courts need to be dismantled and "family law" written out of the books. There is no place for the insanity and falsehoods of "family law".

I am sorry to hear that, doc. I know a few couples whose offspring either did the fayg thing or didn’t marry and they chose the great aunt and uncle route.

The 29-year-old always thought she’d have found her life partner by now.

Life partner ?

I see the problem right there.

Looking at the number of single mothers with children, I would have to think that women have given up on marriage quite some time ago. And, from the number of children that they have in tow, they gave up on it several time.

Check out this graph from an NBC poll. I found it rather disturbing. What it says about white college educated women is extremely unflattering, and white college educated men only slightly less so.

It appears White, College Educated women are a major threat to the welfare of this country.

It was surprising to me that NBC actually aired this, but maybe not.

They could have, and tried, but they decided they no longer wanted children, after a few years of marriage, when it wasn’t forthcoming. Instead, she embraced being an aunt, and he, an uncle, on both sides of the marriage. They did have pets (2 cats and a dog), and now only the blind, 3-legged doggie remains. He’s an inspiration. They’re both in their mid-60’s to early 70’s now. Great people. That little dog is as close to a kid as they were ever granted. Would’ve been great parents, but some things aren’t meant to be.

. These men aren’t coming back. They didn’t walk away to teach society a lesson, they walked away because they learned theirs

If a good Christian man finds a good Christian woman, they are both blessed. If either just “thinks they are mostly Christian, but we have to accept others and not be judgemental about anything”, they are doomed. And one of the “life partners “ will be miserable for life. A spouse Is definitely different from a life partner.

Note how she considers having a husband is DEMEANING to her...hence a ‘pawtner’ is what she wants.

Hence the rising women with women disorder.

Home pregnancy kit:

You forgot the Chardonnay and the ylang-ylang candles.

Nothing says "romance" like a date with a turkey baster in a room with the right ambience.

I think the end game will be like this: the imported squat brown men will do all the labor intensive and dangerous jobs and the white women will do the professional work and have surrogate babies and live happily ever after.

My daughter had to sift through a decade of loser candidates until she found her husband at 32.

I get it, she's family - blame the guys.

...but she picked "loser candidates for a decade" until she settled for "the nice guy" at 32.

Don't blame the fruit of the orchards - look at the picker.
