The reality of course is that American men today are not interested in what American women have to offer, except for one night at a time. Now the women are pretending it’s they that are opting out.

This is classic fox and the grapes.

“The 29-year-old always thought she’d have found her life partner by now”

Note how she considers having a husband is DEMEANING to her...hence a ‘pawtner’ is what she wants. Hopefully she stays all alone, rather than also making a guy miserable.

I encourage women to go it alone if partnership isn’t working out, but for pity’s sake, do not have children and try to raise them on your own. They’ll grow up in the care of nannies and teachers, the boys will be angry, the girls will be easy pickings for predators, and it will just add to our culture’s decline. Do what I did: get some cats. Put on some classical music. Enjoy the peace and quiet, and having a home that stays clean without much effort.

I disagree. I interact with young single men 25 to 40.

Business owners, professionals, trades_ownwrs, resturauntaurs, brewers and distillers.... and these men all say they missed the good wife train.

Women have become brutal. I think screen time has affected women’s brains much more than men’s.

Have recently spoke to two individual young men who are single financially secure. Both are look into the possibility of a surrogate and buying eggs to have the children and family they want.

There are men spreading their seed all over and walking away. And then there are decent responsible men who want wives and families who do not see the maritally unsocialized women of today as being an option.

Sometimes, when it’s convenient for the purpose of whining, moaning and victimhood, a definition can be produced. It just depends on which agenda is being trotted out at the moment.

Racist?

I watch a lot of Cable Movie Channels and Sports.

According to the advertisements, about 90% of white American women are married to Black males, or have a Black boy friend.

Since it is on TV, it must be true!

On the whole, if women are single, they can only pretend to be happy. They will, in most cases, be miserable and lonely and bitter.

Only if they're liberals. Conservative women do fine alone. Conservatives are just happier people overall.

There should be a study on this issue. Definitely, distorted their expectations on what they consider to be a "realistic" mate.

Just as I was retiring in 2017, probably 5 or 6 of the college student women were telling me their female friends in their 20s were deliberately getting pregnant in hopes that their boyfriend would marry them, but not one of the couples they knew had that result. The guys would rather pay child support than be trapped into marriage.

And yet more men than women have college degrees of real worth like engineering, computer science, and MBA's.

But women don't have to compete with H-1B visa holders from India and China to get jobs after those degrees.

Realizing there are exceptions, American women are generally sl*ts, radical leftist, fat, loudmouths and know-it-als. They have no either inner or outer beauty. They may be giving up on marriage because, honestly, what man in his right mind would marry one?

Are these the “college-degreed white women” who are the only segment of the population that still votes predominantly Democrat?

The same “college-degreed white women” who are so smart they buried themselves up to their eyeballs in student loan debt, mostly for degrees in imaginary disciplines that don’t even qualify them to be secretaries?

The same “college-degreed white women” who are mad as Hell about being buried up to their eyeballs in student loan debt and blame everybody but themselves?

The same “college-degreed white women” that can’t get anybody to marry them and pay off their overwhelming student loan debt?

Women are generally liberal while men are becoming more conservative.

We are not the only country with this quandry.

South Korea is even more extreme.

A part of it is because we are having our youth attending the Universities and they end up getting indoctrinated.

“Life partner” is the phrase these young women have grown up with. Don’t like it, blame the older generation that let their kids grow up on homosexual inclusive language.

Frankly, she sounds like a lousy date. I don’t think American men are actually her real problem.

Welp, her first mistake was looking for a man in Boston.
