("He's Catholic and Republican, but it's nothing you can't change") So much unintentional humor in this article, but this line is an all-time classic.

why anyone would want to marry the "women" that this society has produced is beyond me. Better to just fire to your wallet and your self respect.

Real sad. For decades we've been fed the story that mating rituals in the 1950's were unfair to women, hypocritical and boring. What we have today is about as empty as one can imagine and leads to some pretty serious problems (think of on-line dating rendez-vous which wind up with someone dead).
A return to more formality and less easy sex would increase human happiness. But try to sell that to the Dems or to Hollywood.

I totally agree. When I saw my sister over Christmas she asked me why I don't actively date anymore. I told her that hers was a gender in decline (a broad brush, I know). I think she's still fuming at me.

I'm single and (gasp)40. I cannot imagine what these women are thinking, registering for gifts. Who thinks she deserves to have friends and family buy them specified items, just because they exist? Guess it's the selfish ones amongst our gender.
It's just plain embarrassing sometimes.

"He's Catholic and Republican, but it's nothing you can't change" Oh yeah, I'd rush into her arms /sarcasm. I'd rather remain celibate.
I married someone with most of my values. Needless to say, she wasn't originally from NYC.

Does this national problem, too, need federal government assistance?
Is it all the Bush's fault?

Well, there's always the alternative...the gender that's all the rage:

Yes! A national match database! Go to your local US Department of Coupling and Marriage office, and select your future wife or husband.

I'm 24, and already jaded about things. You, my friend, have the right idea.

Don't blame you. Gotta dig through a lot of sludge to find a speck of gold.

Herold is turning her disgust into a documentary, Bachelor, 34, which captures her mother's urging her toward a relationship ("He's Catholic and Republican, but it's nothing you can't change") Two reasons why white guys are losing interest in white women:
1. Guys don't want women who feel a need to be like guys any more than women don't date men who act like women.
2. Lots of guys don't want to date a women who gives off strong early signs of wanting to radically change them.

and select your future wife or husband. No, the government knows what is best for you - they'll issue you one. What are you - some sort of conservative?

As a 40 year old single conservative male living in a liberal state (CA), I can tell you it is immensely difficult to meet available women with similar values.
When they find out I'm a republican and a gun owner, they run screaming for the hills, just as the media brainwashing has taught them to.
I'm coming to the conclusion I may have to move to a more conservative state or end up a life long bachelor.

Bah, there are plenty of good Christian women out there, they just aren't portrayed on TV, in magazines, or the movies. Sort of a hidden culture these days, since the real shortage is of good Christians(and faithful practicing Jews) in TV news, print editors, and script writers.

I know I'll get flamed for saying this, but now that I'm a lifelong bachelor in my mid-40s I find that women are just more irrelevent as I get older. They want all the power with none of the responsibility and none of the initiative. Whatever you guess wrong (cause they won't tell you) is your fault and you must atone for your sins to stay in their good graces.
I'm just not interested in playing that game any more.

I have a good friend that is always match.coming it. She goes on a lot of dates and has lots of nice dinners and meets rich guys who are using match.com as a fishing hole.
I envy the nice dinners!
I have met a couple of the men she dated and they are male floozies.
