Lonely millennials, you are not alone!

A new survey found that over half of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 do not have a romantic partner.

In spite of the recent rise of dating apps, more young people than ever remain single, according to data released by the General Social Survey from researchers at the University of Chicago.

Buttons12, I remember your talking about this issue on another thread. I think every generation has had to deal with this same issue - in one way or another.

You’re still young. There are nice guys out there.

No one is perfect, but I hope you meet the one who’s perfect for you.

Abolition of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists. …

— Manifesto, Chapter 2
That’s why. And it was not as radically as you think, but in stages, starting with no-fault divorce, taking over educational institutions, brainwashing the public via media and education into acceptance of extramarital heterosex and “alternative lifestyle” behavior (remember that phrase? last time I saw that was late 2000s), forcing abortion and attacks on religious norms via all branches of the federal government, and here we are. (They’re imitating what Lenin did in the USSR back in the 1920s.)

There are men your age looking for women like you

Well, women like me are easily spotted on Sunday mornings...but all I see at mass is other women's husbands. :D

I would definitely date a woman if I could figure out which are women and which are men playing dress up as women.

Look for peach fuzz on her cheeks, no peach fuzz equals recent shave=male.

Don't ask how I know...

We have talked about more traditional societies and wives.

He actually doesn’t like brown skinned dark haired women.

I didn’t know men had “types.”

He likes blonds. Pretty blonds. He doesn’t even like gingers! I guess he should go to Eastern Europe, huh?

Well they do say boys tend to marry women that look like their moms!!

Do you kiss your momma with that mouth?

Not saying it isn't true, but a little decorum, please?

Men have no benefits in marriage anymore, it’s all risk. The courts heavily favor women.

And most young women aren’t that great to risk it. They are all indoctrinated with feminism. They all have a sense of entitlement. Most have absolutely no clue what they want in life and priorities shift all over the place making it easy for a relationship to suddenly no longer work.

Tired of Taxes is not in California, perhaps the courts are more just in New Jersey?

They could scarcely be worse.

Although I must say that my son is attending 5 weddings so far this summer. All young people between 25 and 32 years old.

I couldn’t spot any peach fuzz without
getting too close. But it wasn’t much
of a stretch to make out the adam’s apple.

True - I’m not familiar with the laws in CA.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if divorce in both states is similar.

Financial reasons are also a factor.

I am so happy I grew up when I did, I look at young men today and I am with you100% I would have been sitting home a lot, I dated the same guy for 4 years and we never had sex nor did he pressure me!! I was scared to death of pregnancy!! I moved out of the house at 19 had a beautiful apartment continued school and worked full time!!! Today at 19 I could NEVER have afforded to move out, a studio apartment in this area is $1,300.00 a month plus you have all utilities!! I think this might be a reason kids are not growing up they can’t afford to move out of mom and dads place!!!

Go figure. The hook up, disposable relationship, Facebook/Twitter/instagram look at me, no parent / divorce parents generation is lonely? Try more liberalism. That fixes everything.

Buttons12 have you thought of possibly looking for a young man in the military preferably a young officer the military does tend to mature young men!! An officer would also have great leadership skills!!!

Good points, TGKC. Young people can’t afford cars and insurance today, either.
