A just-released report from the Pew Research Center sends a dagger straight through the heart of a popular mythology—the one that insists that what single people want, more than anything else, is to become coupled.

There’s an option for “casual date,” but not for “random/Tinder hookup.” That number would be a bit more revealing.

I’m sure we could break this down further.

For example, I know someone who is a widower, has dated, is serious with somene, but told me he really doesn’t want to get married again. He told me if she pressed him.about marriage he would split with her.

Who the hell would want to date a female who identifies as a “whatever”, constant goal post changing, etc. Maybe this is a good thing, less libs procreating:)

Doesn’t help when they see the mess that Jerry Falwell is in because he couldn’t stand being with one woman. There are tons of others.

A relationship means there is conversation. Many young people are incapable of that in this texting/ internet world.

I for one enjoy my career; some of my friends who are married with children giving up their career aren’t too happy but manage.

Then one day they’ll wake up at the age of 40 wondering why all the good ones seem to be taken?
