A dearth of marriagable men has left an “oversupply” of educated women taking desperate steps to preserve their fertility, experts say.

The first global study into egg freezing found that shortages of eligible men were the prime reason why women had attempted to take matters into their own hands.

‘course the feminazi’s will blame everyone and everything but themselves.

Going against the way God designed things results in unhappiness - or worse.

There is no “solution” to the problem of hating your own nature. Conversion - perhaps to a resigned acceptance of reality - would make them more confortable.

Eligible?

I think they mean **willing**.

most men are simply terrified by the incredible arsenal of Man Destraction Weapons laying around casually:

lawyers, courts, counselors, cops, psychologists, feminists.

it’s all this enormous man destruction machine and marriage is the way that you get your head chopped off.

I don’t know what they’re talking about this with this word eligible.

The muzzies are wrong about a billion things but one of their sayings that captured my attention was:

“when Allah decides to curses you, he makes your dreams come true”

And now, yes, women have ALL KINDS of weapons at their disposal, just as they wished.

Remember “Carnal Knowledge”? It really got into mens gripes. Of course there are men who swallow the women’s complaints. Wusses.

It takes too long to sort through them all.

Just for your knowledge, send the son to weekend overviews of several Christian colleges; i.e. Pensacola Christian,

http://www.christianuniversitiesonline.org/best-christian-colleges/

The women to men ratio is very lopsided. I have three girls and tow boys, and every visit we make to that campus, the girls flock around our table trying to talk to my sons. And the 14 year old has a very difficult time, embarrassed, by it.

A lot of tatted up, heavy-set women with an attitude. Not exactly men magnets.

Most guys seem to be fixated on one agenda, get a female in bed and take from her.

We are in a bad sort of way.

Here 'tis:

A store has just opened in New York City that offered free husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:

“You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors to choose from. You may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you CANNOT go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the store to find a husband. On the 1st floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs

The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely Good Looking.

“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the 4th floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims. “I can hardly stand it!” Still, she goes to the 5th floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the Sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 71,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that you are impossible to please.

Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

To avoid gender bias charges, the store’s owner opened a Wife Store just across the street.

The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.

The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.

The 3rd through 6th floors have never been visited....

Problem is, guys will engage poor to rich women and consider all strata as potential marrage. From what I observed, women are
often ignoring men who do not have a degree or substantial money.

No issues for men dating “beneath” their socio-economic-educational status, whereas for women, women will not date/marry a man that is beneath her socio-economic-educational status, and with women making up a majority of university students, the pool of what they consider eligible is shrinking.

I bet many of the women don’t want a compatible/complimentary partner - they want an equal. And that doesn’t work for a large group since, in general, men bring different parenting traits and prefer different household duties and recreational interests and “are not women” in lots of ways.

There are “equals” and pairs that don’t follow the general patterns. But if there are large numbers of women looking to marry, many of them will have to “settle for” traditional men.

At least they claim to want an equal but many would prefer to walk all over pajama-boy.

Interesting.

I’m guessing a stable job and lack of substance abuse would be the major descriminating factors for a young woman looking for a long term relationship.

A lot of men who don't even know enough to take their hat off when they enter a restaurant. Not exactly girl magnets. LOL

I read the entire article and had to laugh. Men don’t find educated and successful women “intimidating.” They find them annoying. If these women would just stop talking about THEMSELVES AND THEIR WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHMENTS long enough for a man to get a word in edgewise, they might discover that there are in fact intelligent men out there who could be good husbands to them and good fathers to their children.

“A dearth of marriagable men” = rich and willing to let me walk all over them.

You mean Cosmopolitan doesn't have an answer for this? They can extol the virtues of the latest battery powered phallic plaything but haven't figured out how to force men to marry Amy Schumer types? What a tragedy.

Reminds me of the advice a woman once told me she’d received from her mother. “Men are like carpets. Lay ‘em right the first time and you can walk all over them for the next twenty years.”

Right, which leads to my conclusion.

The larger point is that people complain bitterly about not being able to find a suitable mate, but somehow it completely escapes them that rather than desperately searching for someone to fulfill their needs, they might consider how they can become a person who meets the needs of a potential mate.
