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.

Ummm: That's not how it works.
A man cannot free himself of the legal obligation to pay child support simply by saying, "King's X! I hereby surrender any and all custody rights I may have had! So no child support for me!"

“defective girls”
You nailed it.
Who wants to be a defective girl?
Lol.
The vast majority of females are the ones wearing PJS in public.
And what restrictions does the wife have, or is this only a one way street?
Plus you’ve never played and it shows.
Oops, you timer is off( like a toddlers) stop your fight with the big boss now, or Ill have a fit.
Some of us females enjoy video gaming as well.
Women value loyalty in men as well.
Men are the ones who tell themselves that it’s not important to women. That’s self-deception.
Many women need to grow up as well.
I never said they didn’t.
No different than all the men on this forum who tell other men to avoid marriage at all costs and become part of MGTOY.
Don't condemn in others what you do yourselves.
The courts are wrong then.
You haven’t posted anything that wasn’t an excuse why females good, men bad.
So I’m wondering why that is.
I’m a happily married woman of almost 40 years, my husband is awesome.
I have a son and another I count as my son.
I’ve witnessed their struggles with modern American females. I’ve seen their relationship with non American women. My son with the non American female is way happier.
metmom: That doesn't explain the attraction so many women have towards the bad buy types.
No, it doesn't.
But does an explanation for one kind of behavior (feminist-led society lambasting many traditional behaviors of men - decisiveness; stoicism; giving money and career priority; talking plainly and directly - as "toxic masculinity") also have to serve as an explanation for an entirely different behavior (hybristophilia)?
I think not!
Both behaviors can be found in large swathes of the female population. The first item (decrying "toxic masculinity") is largely based on propaganda. In reality, women will rarely respect a man who is humble to the point of self-abnegation; who always defers to the woman's p.o.v.; who professes to be an abject pacifists and will let himself be "roughed up" by street hooligans rather than defend himself - maybe because his is White and the attackers were "underprivileged." And women will never love them!
The second item - hybristophilia - has an entirely different explanation, rooted in our evolutionary history, and it is not particularly flattering to women.
Not only do both tendencies exist widely amongst females - they can even coexist in one and the same female!
But you have no standing to demand that we men explain such behaviors. Our (perhaps) inability to explain them does not obligate us to accept them or any other ill treatment we might receive at the hands of women and/or a feminist-led society.
(But there are explanations, and all you need to do is perform a little online research - starting with the Wikipedia entry for "hybristophilia.")

They are doing it for different reasons.
It’s MGTOW by the way.
This happened as a response to the way men were being treated.
It’s self defense from femnazis.
Women claim that but they know full well how other women will sleep with their man - because they would do it too if another man turned them on.
If women don't trust other women, why would men trust them?
Yes they are, but men still get shafted hugely.
So why risk it? They are the ones losing their money and hard work.
Regards,
Men openly warn other men and encourage Men Going Their Own Way MGTOW. They even get vilified by CommuFeminists and their masters for doing so.
Women, like the one I posted to that you're replying to, insist that they're giving good advice to help women date and get married but are actually sabotaging them - because that's what women do to each other - such as women who berate "stay-at-home" moms (even the term is disgusting manipulation) for wanting to raise children as part of a family.
Most females I know, have zero understanding of loyalty.
I find a rare few that even understand the notion of Honor.
Bitches say one thing to your face, then gossip about how awful your are to their friends.
Women do emotional manipulation and pat themselves on the back for being nonviolent. Bunch of damned hypocrites.
My worst bosses, by far have all been females.
They always see a problem as a personal attack instead of solving the damn problem. Plus they are always using emotions as a stupid excuse for why things don’t get fixed.
I work best with other men, always have. My job has zero room for mistakes or excuses, we can kill some one. But females always drag in unnecessary drama that slowed us down.
And I'm bloody glad that we haven't heard it! That's namely a despicable attitude!
Tantamount to asserting:
"The enslaved field hands are an important part of the cotton industry. That is why they should want to be in their state of bondage!"The correct statement would be:
"Marriage is vital for a well-functioning society. We should therefore do everything we can to make marriage (again) appealing to men: Fair divorce laws, mandatory paternity tests, effecting a fundamental cultural shift so that women aren't tempted to waste their most-fertile years, etc."Regards,

Hybristophilia is a paraphilia characterized by sexual attraction to individuals who commit crimes, often manifesting as romantic or sexual interest in dangerous or violent offenders. This phenomenon is commonly observed among women who may feel drawn to the “bad boy” archetype or believe they can change the criminal’s behavior.
.................
It is also true that society, as a whole, disparages men and manly traits (reviled as "toxic masculinity"). It is true that there is even systemic discrimination against men in many fields. It is further true that, in certain venues (like big universities and colleges), a misandrist attitude is not only preached from the lectern, but permeates the whole campus.
But I think that a woman who is not, in advance, predisposed to hate men or blindly follow (liberal) authority could obtain a degree relatively unscathed by that mind-virus.
HOWEVER, I defy a normal woman to suppress her inborn (God-given / evolutionary) nature to wish to bear, nurse, and care for babies in her late teens and twenties and early thirties, when her entire physis is programmed to do that, for the sake of an "advanced degree" or "career advancement."
Deferring that inherent urge is unnatural and sick, and no good can come of it.
