Reasons why so many women are 35+ and single but want to be married with children:
* Feminism led colleges to discriminate against men from admissions to funding. End result - more women graduates than men, while women want men of equal or higher educational level. If you won’t let them go to college, be alone or marry blue collar types.
* They were told their fertility and attractiveness were just as good at 40 as 20 and delayed having children because it was immoral to settle down and have kids at 25 if you’re educated. They delayed a partner search until they passed their prime and find the men interested in partners competing for younger women. If they’d searched a decade ago, they’d have found someone. Now, they are on the expiration shelf.
* Too high standards is an issue for some, leaving Mr. Good in search of a Mr. Perfect who doesn’t exist. The educational mismatch feminism created is certainly an issue for the 30 and under crowd.
* A mistaken belief per princess fairy tales and romance novels that if you divorce at 30 with or without children, you’re just as likely to find a savior as at 20. So they leave the guy who has been OK but isn’t perfect, ignoring their own flaws and contributions to the problems, and wait for a wonderful savior prince to rescue them ... and never comes.
