Curling up to a $ bill and fair weather friends is hardly a satisfying life. When the job goes south and the “friends” disappear you are left with yourself. As for me, whether it’s good times or bad, we’re together.

More evidence of the decline of the once greatest empire on Earth.

Hi, 'Mr Mediocre' here.

I am crushed. I am quite sure that all the ladies Caroline Davies writes about as well as she, herself are "absolutely fabulous" and that none are just "keeping up appearances". We know all about the glory that is the British Freemale.

Same stuff, different decade. They keep pushing the same tired liberal lines.
Change the dates and this could be 1974. Even Gloria got married in the end.
However, there are a lot of lonely old women who found out too late they had been had.

They staked out a sterile life, rather a no life, it is fun for a while but what happens when you hit 35?

No joy in those folks.

FREERIDERS are full of happiness.

Interesting but not new. There are very few people male or female who wish to not find a mate. They are the exception and they end up largely old and unfulfilled with no grand children and like a withered branch that never bore fruit soon dry broken and forgotten. I know several women who I hold dearly as friends but it is painfully clear they are so very alone. Some are jaded after having bad relationships, some who chased their careers till now they have only their single bedroom apartment and some pets. It is the world we live in that is unnatural in the sense it has come to encourage men and women to chase that which separates them from doing what gaining resources was from the beginning really about and that is living life and building families not dieing painfully alone and unfulfilled.

I’m not saying that one can not be fulfilled and be alone I’m just saying that most people will never be and if they are fooled into believing that they will be fine then the night they find themselves hugging a pillow in the dark crying so very very alone after most of their friends have went on and lived their lives and have had grand children and a companion to share the twilight years with will be all the more bitter. The messiness of relationships may not be easy but those that choose to stand on the sidelines thinking themselves superior are only fooling themselves.

“Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I’m 64?”

Sorry, Sir Paul. I guess the answer is “No.” Heather has your millions and your progeny and is now the Poster Child for “Freemales United.” Nice work if you can get it.

I have absolutely no pity for women that bought into the “feminist” cr@p of YESTERYEAR.

My motto has always been, “It ain’t braggin’ if you can do it.” (While dancing backwards, in high heels.) ;)

Shades of the 1970's. We have heard all this before. Ended up with a bunch of desperate women nearing the end of their natural childbearing years who unfortunately found the good old "Mr. Mediocres" were all more or less happily married to some one else-- leaving them to pick through the lounge lizards, momma's boys and assorted dysfunctional divorcees.

Women are increasingly rejecting a desperate, Bridget Jones-like search for a perfect partner, preferring instead to enjoy their single status and refusing to compromise by settling for 'Mr Mediocre'.

Because "They" are all perfect...

This is the prelude to the 2030 story about, "Bitter, Childless Women Facing Menopause"

women never needed men anyway, right? didn’t you pay attention to the women’s studies class?

Yep,
either way you’re in trouble-—
Might as well stay single, work to be happy and just ignore those who try to meddle in her biznezz. :)

Not everyone is meant to be with someone either...
I mean, yeah, the majority of folks are better off with someone, but there are those who are far better off alone...and happier.

Yes, it’s true. Just because you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean it’s not true. And yes, I’ve been married and single, and single far far far is better than married. And a lot of it had to do with a very high need for solitude.

Muslim women will be happy to have the babies who will take over Britain.
Then these “Freemales” will find they can’t go out in public without a male relative. Ironic.
