But I thought more women were going to college these days and that men were falling behind according many articles I’ve read that were distributed by the MSM. This article isn’t matching up with what they said earlier do someone is lying...: )
An interesting article.
BTW - the term “meat” when applied to women is not new.
In the 1970’s I was a young AF Lt. going through a 9-month school in California. Every Thursday night the Officer’s Club was “invaded” by young, good looking women in search of weekend dates with us. Talk about a man’s fantasy world. Everyone knew what the rules were; there was no need to spend days trying to get a date; and it was totally acceptable to ignore each other the following weekend. Fun but very very empty.
Sound familiar?
This is pretty much drivel on the same order of the old Gloria Steinem crap.
Ugh. Only a fool would marry such women.
Grow up?
I think the writer needs to grow up.
Young men behave the way they do as a logical response to women's liberation.
I'd rather loaf and enjoy life playing video games than get married to a modern slut harpy and in a society that will always take her side over mine in the inevitable divorce.
Hell with that. Stay single guys and always use a condom so when she "accidentally" forgets to take her pills, she won't get pregnant and make the government force you to support the kid she told you she didn't plan on having.
My tear ducts are dry as a bone.
The marxist ideal, being put into practice on colleges.
The current culture defines male "maturity" as "behaving as women want men to behave", while ignoring the set of incentives and disincentives which men currently operate under.
For most of history, marriage was how a man got a steady sexual partner, who would provide him with a home and children, in exchange for support and protection. Men found it an acceptable deal.
For decades, marriage has become less and less attractive to men, especially men-with-options. Marriage is an opportunity to attach yourself to a woman who is likely to wind up ruining you financially in divorce, take away your kids, and spend her life alienating them from you.
Marriage also tended to ensure that the average man got a woman of his own. In the current "hook up" culture, you have lots of women chasing after the most desirable men. This results in the "alpha" males getting lots of sex, and the "beta" males being ignored. The alpha male has no incentive to commit, because his current woman is very replaceable.
The beta male gets little opportunity to commit, because the women are chasing the alphas -- at least until they hit their 30's and start whining about the lack of "good men willing to commit", when the alphas they were chasing lose interest and go after younger women.
Boo freakin' hoo. You can thank Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, and NOW for your current state of affairs. Men have become marginalized over the past 40 years.
These women can't handle the truth, i.e. you can't have it all.
I’m glad I went to college when women were chaste....
And upon occasion, caught.
Saw enough of this in high school in the 70s to know I wanted no part of this scene. The boys acted like cocky jerks, the girls like willing pieces of kleenex who suffered after the fact.
Nothing shocks my senses quite like this hook-up culture on college campi.
It’s hard to think of anything more cold, sterile, and impersonal. I have no idea what young people see in it.
No, you do not give lingerie unless you are really, really close as in married or engaged or about to pop the question close. Not unless you want a dark chocolate colored eye.
A bad side to the feminist movement. Women are free to express themselves sexually. Well so are men. And men are less likely to look for a long term relationship when women are so free sexually.
Really? I thought a woman without a man was like a fish without a bicycle. At least that's what all the man-hating lesbian feminists that occupied my college back in the mid-70's told me.
(Great way to win someone over to your point of view, BTW--Insulting them right out of the gate.)
I hate those darned Hallmark(TM) holidays! Promoted to “holiday” status by the card and candy companies and the florists.
Plus, whenever I’m out seeking a gift for such occasions, my mind goes blank and I usually get the wrong thing.

I went to a “Tech” school when there were four men for every woman. Good: male attention. Bad: too much male attention. Good: I like nerdy types. Bad: There is such a thing as way too nerdy. Good: I met Mr. Heartwood first week my freshman year and married him at the end of my sophomore year; we’re coming up on 32 years this spring.
But I do know that it was very hard on the men there, that most of them were willing to dance to whatever tune the women played, and that the women didn’t have to try very hard to please men (visitors tended to judge the women unattractive, because they didn’t have to try.)
At least time was on the men’s side; they graduated, matured, earned money and status.
Where the situation is reversed, and the numbers don’t favor women, time is not on their side.
