Why College-Educated Women Can't Find Love
Daily Beast ^ | September 7, 2015 | Emily Shire

You feel like you’re in romantic purgatory.

It’s real. It’s not a hazy paranoia.

And it’s not a matter of being too fat or too loud, too timid or too aggressive, too slutty or too frigid. If you’re a single, college-educated woman in Manhattan, the cards of love are stacked in favor of you remaining single—but it has nothing to do with texting a guy too soon or (not) sleeping with someone on a third date.

As financial reporter and author of Date-Onomics: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game, Jon Birger puts it, “It’s not that He’s Just not That Into You. It’s that There Aren’t Enough of Him.”

Of course many of these feminist abominations didn’t have fathers that told them “Don’t be the kind of girl I and all my buddies went looking for on a drunken Saturday night” either.

Because their ‘fiercely independent strong woman” feminist mother didn’t see the need for a man after the conception and rid themselves at the first opportunity.

No, they are teaching liberal economics. And my daughters teacher was a homo that injected their crap into everything they taught.

“deserve”

See, now that word right there is what the whole thing comes down to.

No one DESERVES anything coming in the door. When people began thinking they did, TeH PoOpZ gots real deep real fast.

“Why is it that the women that are marching for abortion are women no man would want to f... anyway?”

Because having a baby reduces the pool of potential lesbians. They see babies as a threat. They live a lifestyle based upon the necessity to kill innocents.

Okay...the last thing I want to do is think about O’Reilly and loofahs.

I gotta hope the chick got paid well. I’d hate to think it was voluntary. “Mercy” or not.

I can't IMAGINE that it was voluntary.

(For fans of "The Strain", an Eldridge Palmer/Coco reference is appropriate).

*violent shudder*

I saved myself for marriage and I expected my wife to, as well.

Sleeping around is a great way to give your final future loved one a disease they will never forget. It’s also not the way a Christian should act.

How the world would turn differently and be better for it, if people understood marriage is a sacrament from God and should be attended by reverent people.

Blessings to you and your bride.

My husband and I vowed to be a blessing to others when we married. We are very happy together.
