I think I've had time to digest this, but I'm still trying to compose a proper response.
Well, I'm glad you let your feelings be known. It does help to get these things out into the open. Fresh air does help the soul.
It's funny that you mentioned Limbaugh at the beginning of your post, because he has this great riff on the prolonged adolescence of today's youth, which I think ties into many of your complaints about finding a suitable mate.
One thing the feminists have managed to accomplish over the previous thirty or so years, is to exculpate men from any type of moral responsibility. You brought this up-either implicitly or explicitly-several times in the course of your comments, which I think were very perceptive regarding the imbalance between the sexes.
I don't know if you've ever read "The Feminine Mystique", but it offers you a good idea of where this type of mentality originated. I have read it-don't laugh, you have to read that sort of crap to get an American Studies degree-and found Friedan's arguments to be very hollow.
I'd delve a little bit deeper into this aspect of the tortured, feminist interpretation of free will, but I'm sure that you've got dozens-if not hundreds-of takers who want to join in on the fray.
Let's rumble!
Bravo.
Have you ever read any Camille Paglia?

I sincerely hope you're wearing body armor...you're gonna get it...
Try taking personal responsibility for your spinsterhood rather than blaming it on others.
Women LOVE to have the doors opened for them and all the rest of it. Don't let any witchy, immature teeny bopper tell you differently.
Come to suburban Middle America. When the young gals in my office complain about impolite males in the big city, I tell them they are looking for dates in the wrong places. I go to the local post office about twice a day and someone ALWAYS opens the door for me! I've had the door opened by 80 year olds and 16 year olds and everything in between! And I return the favor whenever possible. It's always a smile and a "good morning" and a "thank you" and a "have a nice day."
Really!
The links are still there, but I'm slowly changing around the pictures and trying to organize it a bit more.
2 other caues of the Feminist movement: More Gays and Semi-Gays (metro-sexuals)!~}
You nailed it!
I can be picky when I have something to pick :D
Nice home page!
Great rant! Right on too.
The one page linked to some weird articles. Very erotic if I must say.
Absolutely...and another freeper mentioned holding the door open. Guys still do but they get a look of shock whenI say thank you *lol*
Not blaming it on others, just making an observation about the culture I live in.
Oh, cy...I wish there was something I could do for you. But all the men I know who are the marrying kind are...
...you guessed it...
...married.
thanks :)
By the way, Paglia, along with Tammy Bruce and Dusty Springfield, will be added shortly to my "favorite lesbians" section on my public profile.
I have yet to create this section, but rest assured, once it's done, she will be given top priority.
Bingo! Coming up on 25 years married to the most beautiful (and intelligent) woman in the world -- but if I ever lost her, that would be it. Much too hazardous...
