Basically, it's the cost of free love. We taught the young that single sex is the best and they should get their fill while they are young.

What happens is the young women get their fill and start to want to be married around thirty. However, the man, of which 80% don't get their fill of the single life because that's only reserved for the top 20% of men to get their single life fill of sex either make themselves absent because they are convinced that they have nothing to offer a woman or they are finally coming into their own and still want their fill before they settle down.

Consequently, the young women are finding that they can't find a man and are having to choose childlessness or they choose to become single mothers, which complicate things for them.

It's a disaster in the making, but here we are.

No. They can’t find a man.
He’s either living the single life that he was denied in his 20’s, or he’s convinced that nobody wants him so he keeps himself absent.

That’s what the article says.
I can see this

My guess would have been that for the last 30+ years public schools have been teaching that marriage is an outdated societal construct forced upon women by the sexist, misogynistic, patriarchal hegemony.

That, and women are told that marriage is demeaning but a meaningless cubicle job and a series of flings with men she has no intention of committing to, or having children with, is *empowering*.

My answer would be that they are too chickensh*t to accept any responsibility. They just want a life of sitting around on their ass staring at s cellphone and drinking Mexican panther pee or seltzer water.

you are right, especially during covid-places to meet were shut down-traditionally the 3 top places people met each other were school,work,churches or church activities- and church activities used to be a safe place for ladies to meet quality men but fewer and fewer men go to church-so once they leave school. you have wok which is now frowned upon or you have sex sites like Tinder

Nah.

I could be married 30 years ago.

Many women wanted that. They were harboring anger I did not care to deal with.

Just be an owner of your life.

It’s pretty simple to understand...

To use the humorous terms...

If you no longer need to buy the cow to get the milk, why buy a cow, especially when the milk is free.

People these days are so wrapped up in themselves as priority number one that sharing is out of the question.

I know two married couples, and several singles that don’t want the responsibility.

He’s either living the single life that he was denied in his 20’s,

If a man isn't Alpha in his 20s, he won't be Alpha in his 30s. So he won't be living any "single life" even then.

He might have more money. So he'll be a rich Beta. But still only a Beta.

Women in their 30s will marry rich Betas, but they don't really want them. They're settling.

You’re both right.

In her 20’s, she wants a “desirable” (Alpha) man, someone who excites her. Such men are uncommon and in demand, and while he’ll happily sleep with an average woman, he has options besides getting married.

In her 30’s, she finds that she no longer attracts the kind of men she finds exciting, and decides to “settle” for a “reliable provider” (beta) man, get married, and strip him of his assets in divorce a few years later. Except that too high a percentage are uninterested in playing that game.

In other words, roasties that rode the c@ck carousel because “they have their own money” are finding their egg cartons empty. I saw this first hand last week. Invest in his wine and let food.

I wouldn’t want to marry many of the millennial, testosterone deficient, soy boy, skinny jeans wearing, offerings passing themselves off as males either.

Alpha types who play the game don’t have things so great either. Some years ago I talked to a college buddy. He was the classic Alpha: tall, handsome, smart, confident, witty. He had all the girls in his 20’s and 30’s and 40s.

Now he was in his 50s and never had married.

Things used to work when the norm was for young people to find someone while in school, and marry shortly after graduation.
