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.”

Males are systematically discriminated against in college admissions, and as students. Females are brainwashed to see all men as leering, predatory patriarchs.
Fix that, and there will be no need for an article like this.
That funny piece where the Wall St finance guy explains the concept of appreciating vs depreciating assets to the Manhattanite woman who only wanted to marry a guy with a $500,000 a year income comes to mind too.
feminists are not worthy of marriage or love.
feminism is about making all women ugly.
(ugly in looks, ugly in beliefs, ugly in presence)
ugly goes straight to the bone.
roflol!
That. But also the possibility that she’ll ditch him and take him to the cleaners in a divorce.
I know WAY too many guys in my own age cohort (middle of the Xer generation) who engage in serial monogamy but refuse to marry for just that reason.
Are more women in the workplace precisely because they are paid less, which encourages companies to hire them?
What if suddenly it is mandated that men and women should be paid the same, how many women would lose their jobs?
What do I think? I think any actual man is not going to be interested in some feminist/socialist monstrosity who isn’t interested in being a woman! And what decent man is going to want to commit to being with a New York liberal woman who’s had more riders than California Chrome?
I am grateful that I am not one of them!
It couldn’t be that women (I am a married one for 46 years) are too damn arrogant, expensive and want it all NOW. Poor babies just can’t find a man willing to put up with their crap.
Could it be the 'men' they hang around with from college?........................
Although I believe in say 1900, 10% of women were what was called spinsters. Until the current times the unmarried rate was quite high compared to the rest of the 20th century.
GMTA!!!..........................
See #50....................LOL!!!..............
Why is it that the women that are marching for abortion are women no man would want to f... anyway?
A woman was looking for Mr. Perfect.
one day she found Mr. Perfect.
Unfortunately for the woman, he was looking for the Perfect woman.
Because marriage has been made a liability.....
A MAN gets married and he is at severe legal risk...
Especially a white man..
Didn’t used to be so.. is NOW..
GET MARRIED.... the clock is ticking.. ticking.. ticking.. ticking.. ticking.. ticking.. ticking.. ticking.. ticking..
When time is up.... THEN you get Really SCREWED..
Not always.. BUT..... usually..
Excellent point. Modern divorce laws that force men to subsidize their ex’s adultery are a HUGE disincentive to get serious in the first place.
Oh, they will “do” men below their economic class. But marrying them, I agree with you, I think they are prejudice. I also think they prefer white collar jobs for their husbands. Maybe they think that they will be their husband’s office manager for the family plumbing firm, and that would be purgatory for them.
Frankly, when I was single, I encountered a lot of good men that would make great husbands and fathers. Some women can’t decide on what outfit to wear for the day much less a life partner.
More marriages because of divorce?
