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.”
American women have never been this resigned to staying single. They are responding to major demographic shifts, including huge and growing gender gaps in economic and educational attainment, political affiliation and beliefs about what a family should look like.
“The numbers aren’t netting out,” said Daniel Cox, director of the survey center at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a conservative think tank. He ticked off the data points: More women than men are attending college, buying houses and focusing on their friendships and careers over dating and marriage.

metmom: Then they're shallow, emotionally immature fools. Looks and bodies fade, even men's, but character lasts a lifetime.
Where did FLT-bird say ANYTHING about men preferring women who lack character or have bad characters?! Why do you assume that a hot young secretary or waitress automatically has less character than a 35-year-old corporate exec?
If anything, the 35-year-old corporate exec is likely to be bitterer, more jaded, less wide-eyed and excited about discovering the world, more set in her ways, less flexible, and definitely a higher-risk pregnancy (so-called "geriatric" pregnancy).

Came across a photo like the and he had a tattoo of a stick man pushing a lawn mower don’t recall where it was years ago.
If you want character good luck finding it with women with successful careers.
They learned in college that they should hate and punish men—and then they got to practice their skills in the workplace.
Redefining marriage to make it “gay“ has definitely made marriage less distinctive than it once was. That’s the main damage that was done to it.
A lock that many keys can open is risky and discarded quickly. A key that can open many locks is prized.
A hunter who hits 50 deer is considered a great hunter. A deer that gets hit 50 times is a considered a very stupid deer.
Women can't be cucked into supporting a child who isn't their offspring. Men, who've risked supporting someone else's child since the beginning of the species, value loyalty in women.
This is because men wised up and realized that these proud sluts weren’t worth losing half of everything.
Who wants to live with a rabid liberal who will leave as soon as his girlfriends pressure her to go get another sucker?
Get rid of no fault divorce.
Mandate paternity testing.
Stop treating men like piggy banks with no paternal rights.
Then things might turn around.
However, if a man wants a traditional wife, he’s better looking abroad.
Imagine the outrage if women were told to "woman up".
Feminization has built in the perfect Catch 22 social convention for anything masculine; the expectation to assume the responsibilities of being a man (Man Up) while at the same time denigrating asserting masculinity as a positive (Shut Up). Whatever aspect of maleness that serves the feminine purpose is a man's masculine responsibility, yet an aspect that disagrees with feminine primacy is labeled Patriarchy, "Male Privilege" or Misogyny.
Men have simply walked away from a continually worsening deal.
The quality of American females is rock bottom.
Yep, they want the bad boys. Squirt out a kid, then want a guy who is nice and stable to raise their kids.
Nope.
Women keeping other women single.
If one female in their clique starts to divorce, the ho will spread it to the others.
They think they are still a catch. Then they learn that men aren’t interested in a retread.
Laughs in military. Yep, those 11-Bs in my family and friends are so Mom’s babies, NOT.
Most women are liberal who follow trends not traditional family.
MGTOW was a response to the quality of American women.
Lots of women beat on men , but it goes under reported.
Absolutely there are men who are abusers. I don’t think that anyone denies that, but women use psychological abuse and manipulation as well.
The courts give them blanket protection just because they are female, which is misogynistic.
Both male and females have problems.
Notice what we are not hearing on this thread:
“Men are an important part of the family. That is why they should want to be married.”
All we are getting is the usual “men are awful” stuff.
If the young men believe that message they will lock themselves in momma’s basement.
If they don’t believe it they will stay far away from the women delivering that message.
But in the same breath, you condemn these men for being bad boys to their wives.
The woman chose to be with the bad boy, not giving a damn about the consequences. Then later it’s all the dudes fault, never that the woman was too immature and wanted a thrill instead of stability.
Women cannot pair bond if they’ve been plowed more than Farmer Browns 60 year old farm.
It would help if most women weren’t narcissistic with main character syndrome.
Maybe if they didn’t have 106 non negotiable standards they could find a man...
Then they will claim they are not strong, independent women who don’t need a man.
Hypocrites
Make no mistake, young men are targeted - fighting, smoking, drinking, fast cars, open roads, exploring, camping, hunting, etc. are all targeted.
Boys are treated by our Socialist school system as defective girls, and even medicated to keep them docile.
Despite all that, men are still not buying it.
Women can go blame their mothers, grandmothers, and themselves for listening to their CommuFeminist masters who sold them a very flawed bill of goods.
