hmmmm marriageable men means what exactly?? Losers? hell, there are just as many “loser” women as men it seems to me...
What I hear from my offspring is the “dearth” is on the other side. There seem to be literally NO females on the right side of the “Hot/crazy” index.
“Put some ice on that.” Or, rather, “Put that on some ice.”
The “dearth of marriageable men” is the direct result of a legal system that makes marriage a monumentally bad business arrangement for men, along with the legion of females who willingly use government as a substitute for a husband and father.
Hypergamy is real
Restore to men their right to be treated fairly in college admissions, and job applications. Stop assuming the man is always guilty when a woman accuses him of something. Treat fathers fairly in divorce proceedings. Stop making fun of men in commercials. Then maybe some men will want to get married. Until then, bugger off.
as the mother of a son, I see that there seems to be a shortage of eligible women.
Women are crazy. If they are “educated” and have a nice “job” why do they care if their husband is rich? They already have their own money.
Women have done more than their share to destroy the institute of marriage, and completely emasculate men. How can they be so blind as to complain about a situation that they created?
Last night I caught a few minutes of some feminist on Tucker Carlson complaining because it was called “natural” for women to nurse babies. She resented it - and she sounded mad, and nuts. So sick of them.
If I had to make a guess, they are all average looking women looking for a rich millionaire. Or they rode the merry go round for so long they are damaged goods.
The old ways were not to be “anti fun” but a simple realization of how people really are. You can’t play “stick of the week” for your prime fertility years and suddenly realize you need to find a good guy (who is probably married or scared off of women by that point) at age 30+.
Life is pretty hard to those who have poor time preferences.
Obviously, a legend in his own mind.
“A dearth of marriagable men has left an ‘oversupply’ of educated women”
Bullstalin.
‘course the feminazi’s will blame everyone and everything but themselves.
Going against the way God designed things results in unhappiness - or worse.
China has MILLIONS of men.....they have aborted all the girl babies for decades!
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.
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.
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....
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.
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.
