I actually think this study is one of those rare ones which are not only accurate but show a really serious problem, not just in Sweden btw.
I know a young lady who was and still is, a rare beauty, sweet as candy and with a figure resembling those shown on 18 wheeler mud flaps. When she was 18 and 19, I worked with her and she had lots of boyfriends, several of whom wanted to marry her.
She wanted a career and for awhile seemed to have everything.
Now she is 33, still pretty but no longer has a long list of boys wanting to marry her. She still always has a boyfriend but they don’t want to get married. I know she recently confided to her pastor, and me, that she is afraid she will never get married.
She lives in a nice apartment with her cat and suffers from depression and anxiety severe enough to require treatment.
How much better she would be if she had married one of those nice guys when she was 20, and raised a family.
Yes she loves kids.
18 wheeler mudflap babe?? LMAO, I have acquired a new adjective, or at least the title of a country song, thanks!
A very sad story indeed.
Somehow, I believe this to be a ‘sign of the times’.
We must inspire young people to marry, that is the only way to keep a country and a civilization going.
I suspect one of the reasons why fewer people start families in the Western World today is the distortion of family values movements like feminism has caused.
That's a big red flag! No man in his right mind will marry that type of problem no matter how she got that way.
Your friend's situation is sad. But once she is happy with herself her marriage prospects will improve dramatically.
