The reality of the radical femnist movement.
Empty beds, empty homes, empty hearts, empty wombs.
A gnawing loneliness and despair.
Sad. Depressing.
I may be wrong but at least in my circle of friends and acquaintances it seems when career minded women hit their late 30s and begin looking to settle down, the men in their late 30s have decided they’re going to be bachelors. lol
This guy was looking for a green card and the women were too picky?.Maybe he was still moist from swimming the Rio Grande.
Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.
Freep mail me to be added or dropped. See my home page for details and previous articles.
Women who settle for Mr. Good Enough wind up leaving him later on because he simply wasn’t the right one. Certainly the expectations come into play here but when someone decides that they are worth a certain amount they don’t like marrying below the bar.
Ping for another look
AaaaaHH! Spinster remorse.
In 40 years they’ll be chasing any man in the retirement home till he succombs.
I married at age 25 in 1980 (still married to the same woman, by the way), and that was considered “old” for the time. Now, I look around at the 25 years old “men” around the city (Chicago) and I wonder at the immaturity on display. I refer to the ubiquitous baseball cap, often turned backward; the entitlement attitude; the misogynistic and often outright crude behavior toward women (thanks to Bill Clinton for that); the endless partying; the endless games and sports; and so on. I don’t know how this has come to pass, but it sure is demoralizing to me in that I fear for our future.
Oh yeah. There's a really attractive prospect. Nothing said about being a true wife, supportive of husband and family. Instead, it's all about sucking everything away from the husband.
So no thanks. With an attitude like that these women do not deserve a husband or family. All they have earned is a shriveling up like the old prunes they already are.
They have married their careers and the government. Now they can sleep with it.
You guys sound like bitter, damaged goods. Just because you got dumped when you were in high school doesn’t mean all wimmin are evil. LOL.
Cultural rot continues apace. This is a product of feminism.
‘liberated women’ means irresponsible wont-get-tied-down men.
It’s not easy for young people to find a good husband or wife these days. The culture is against it, especially in the coastal states.
The counterculture warriors and intellectual sophisticates have brought it on themselves, but a lot of good people are caught up in the mess, too.
Speaking solely for myself, I'm glad that I found Ms. Right. Mrs WBill is a wonderful woman, and I'm glad that we're together.
Most of her friends meet this article to a T. They're unmarried and still looking for Mr. Perfect. "No men are interested, what's wrong with all of them?" is a common complaint. Unfortunately, they're too narcissistic to see the irony in their comments.
There's one girl who chases skinny young rock and roll singers. Unfortunately, there aren't too many young rock stars who like women that are 150 lbs overweight and are nearly old enough to be their mothers. I'm not saying that the right man for her does not exist....they're just rare birds to find.
There's several other women that refuse to change...All of their friends are gay men. All of their social events center around gay culture. Again - I'm not saying that there are no single straight men that enjoy going to Drag Queen Bingo every Friday Night and dancing at the Gay Club on Saturdays....they're just rare birds to find.
I suppose that it's easy for me to judge their faults from afar and say "Well, just change". But it's sooooo painfully obvious that I'm not sure if anything else would work. Fortunately, I'm a "Republican" - although, I'm one of the "good ones" - so my opinon wouldn't matter a whit to any of them, anyway.
What the hell is wrong with this?
I guess it depends on where you look.
I see plenty of young men this age in my church that do not meet these criteria.
seems the author was dumped for being a “female dog” more than a few times.
Like a typical feminist, she blames men.
This article could have been written in any decade with only minor changes.
The author would have been a femal dog in all those decades.
Their is too much drama in dating today. I would rather to just travel and obtain an education and if I meet someone, fine, if not then that’s fine too.
Women have forgotten the power they used to have, because the feminists convinced them that they didn't have any power, but that they every right to sleep around, 'just like the guys do'. It has made for a sorry situation, indeed.
Interesting article.
Some of these women (and men) should read the “Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands” by Dr. Laura.
She has lots of comments in that book that are dead on. A women looking for a man will find plenty of info in that book.
