Basically many of my fellow men need to retire the joystick, give up the child's games and grow the hell up.

It’s a complaint at least as old as “Sex and the City”: Where are all the good, dateable men? Why are there so many amazing women and so few acceptable mates for them? For a long time, the conclusions drawn were that women were doing something wrong. Too aggressive, not aggressive enough, not putting themselves out there, putting themselves out there a little too often.
A new book “Date-onomics: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game” by Jon Birger sets out to show that women aren’t doing anything wrong: There just aren’t enough Mr. Rights to go around.
Birger explains that this is the experience nationally, not just in oft-mentioned dating wastelands like New York City. With more women going to college than ever before, there are only so many baccalaureate bachelors for them to meet and marry.
That seems reasonable at first glance. Hey, if a woman is looking for someone with her level of education, and this is a deal-breaker for her, then sure, there’s a serious shortage of suitable men.
Birger points out that a woman who was 34 in 2007 began college in 1991 when women outnumbered men on college campuses by 10 percent. He notes that “in 2012, 34 percent more women than men graduated 4-year colleges.”
The numbers are indeed daunting. But they obscure a question all of these unmarried college-graduate women should be asking themselves: Why does a degree matter so much, anyway?
In his book “The Higher Education Bubble,” Glenn Reynolds quotes statistics showing that the cost of college has increased 439 percent since 1982. Reynolds’ book discusses the crippling debt many college graduates carry and how many of their degrees make the debt nearly impossible to ever erase.

No, different criteria. Females (not just human females) supply sex and offspring, males supply resources (territory, food, other resources) in exchange.
A male who can get multiple females for sex is a successful male. A female who can get resources from multiple males is a successful female.
A female who gets taken out for dinner, gets males at her beck and call to do her favors, who gets males to serve her in the hope of getting enough in her good graces that she will sleep with them, and yet never delivers any, is the type which corresponds with the male "player" (who gets sex without having to deliver on commitment).
when you have one side saying ‘anytime’ and the other side saying ‘not until married’... the amount of ‘hook ups’ is radically low.
when it changes to ‘anytime’ and ‘well, maybe in a month’... the number of ‘hook ups’ start to increase.
but when it goes to ‘anytime’ and ‘anytime’... the only limiting factor is appearance and one-night-stand-personality-checks. women quickly rack up hundreds of partners, as they’re usually the one deciding yes or no.
this is where the women on the left are today.
further down the liberal rabbit hole is the the polyamorous crowd. they’ll actually get upset if they get rejected. they’ll claim you’re closed minded and possibly bigoted for not hooking up with them. seriously deranged, but what’d you expect from the left?
no matter your gender, if you avoid liberals like the plague, your life will be much better off.
Imagine if one of us gals posted that all we wanted was for some guy to bring home lots of money or do whatever it takes to keep us happy.
Imagine if one of us posted that we wanted to go to a foreign country and ‘buy’ a young virile playmate.
Guys would be screaming that we were self-focused, selfish harridans. LOL

The guys who think these particular women are shallow are in turn regarded as shallow by the same ladies?
Why?
Hot chicks dig Gameres today.

So I’ve noticed......
You can’t turn a ho into a housewife.
My nephew married one. She consistently belittled and said derogatory comments to him in front of others.
Exactly. I have asked the same question. The article said New York was a dating wasteland. So is the San Francisco Bay Area. Lots of women, but lots of men too, and too many are liberals. I broke up with one, because she was a Democrat, and it caused problems.
You, sir, won the internet.
Pictures and attitudes like yours bother me because they ignore the fact that this is what makes these men happy; why can’t you be happy for them? I’ve been married for many years, and understand why so many men don’t bother. They risk a lot more than the women, and have watched men penalized when marriages fail for DECADES.
Be happy for the happy young men in your pictures.
The longer hours you mention shouldn’t be ignored when discussing the “wage gap”; the men I work with have become so disgusted at the shorter work days of women that many of us have taken to “working like girls” (working the bare minimum - which is still longer than many of the women). The non-discrimination policies designed by lawyers to protect women are now protecting us from any repercussions; there are too many electronic means available to prove the men are still working longer.
“Then, in their 30’s, when they see “The Wall” looming in front of them, when the “Alphas” have lost interest in favor of the latest batch of 20-somethings, THEN they expect the boring guys to “man up”, step up and give them commitment, a house, etc. Then they can later rape the guy in divorce court to pursue their “eat, pray, love” fantasies.”
Brilliant - a great summation.
“Women generate two thirds of divorce filings. The deck is stacked against the guy in family court, especially if there are kids. Guys know this.”
Absolutely; efforts by the femimedia to shame these guys into relationships/marriage/children aren’t effective because the guys are simply too smart. If they really want a family, they can take their pick of women from more traditional cultures that are washing ashore in this country EVERY MINUTE.
Now golfing and fishing, I can understand.
I’m sure when something more worthwhile comes along they’ll get right on it; in the meantime, I don’t doubt that they know what suits them better than you or I.
Sorry you feel upset as a mature woman. I’m just sharing my opinion that some women are too fussy and/or not even appealing to men. The hostile tone expressed as a reaction to the men who feel similar to me just go to add weight to my viewpoint. I don’t know why age was brought up.
