“Most are kind, caring young ladies who know what it means to take care of a family and a home”

I guess the problem with these women is that they tend to marry relatively early, so when people a bit older come looking, they’re already taken - and there are not that many to begin with (relatively speaking). So, for most guys that I know (who are over 30), it’s either a liberated feminist, or nothing - unless they get outside our crappy social system (again, generally speaking).

Likewise from the female perspective.

The problem is, however, that there are more females than males at that age, so even if every single male got married, there would still be women without a husband.

And some of the men who are still single at that age, are often single for a reason - they’re creepers.

*sigh*

I’ve known some truly wonderful people, men and women, who have been single well into their 30’s and for the life of me cannot figure out why they can’t find a spouse.

Then I see losers like my ex-s-i-l who went through three husbands and still found some idiot who was willing to be number four, and I’ll tell you, she was NO prize. That one didn’t last either.

Life is NOT fair.

I understand your frustration but do you not understand how it makes women feel when you make a blanket statement about American women being gold digging feminists? And think about what you just wrote: a woman over 30 must have had a job and been able to support herself in some fashion unless you want her to have been a kept woman. Again, a blanket statement covering every woman who has worked is a slap to the many who wish they could find a good husband and start a family.

Look at it this way - your statement about women would be like me saying that every man over the age of 30 in the United States wants either a 20 year old air headed trophy wife or a foreign woman who couldn't possibly support herself so she is totally dependent on him like a slave.

Wouldn't that make you feel like I thought you didn't have enough sense to want a woman who could talk to you about politics or understand science or history. Or that you didn't have the confidence to marry a woman who had an IQ above room temp?
