Today women outnumber men in college 57% to 43%, yet women are far less likely than men to marry below themselves economically, and to be content with their choices if they do. For decades we've had a society that's hostile to masculinity, and too many women have bought into the basic feminist worldview, while believing Oprah the barren-wombed billionairess' promises that they "can have it all."
It's a cultural train wreck, and more and more American women are going to find that more and more American men look for options that aren't nags, ingrates, divas, or drama queens. You and your circle may well be exceptions, but the indications are that you are a species in decline.
Even in Orthodox Judaism, where the roles are clear, women are still highly encouraged to go to college and get at least a BA.
Well, I have to say, the average man these days is no great catch. He's metrosexual or paleolithic, liberal or so conservative the idea of a college-educated wife offends him. Men don't know how to treat women, they're rude, possessive, and unwilling to commit.
I don't actually believe that, but it's just as true as the anti-women rants I've just read.
We're partially joking, I'd say. These threads are pathetically predictable.
I don't believe American women are any more or less hopeless than American men. That is to say, there is a decline in responsibility and morality and respect on both parts.
Another guy telling us lots about the women he hangs with.
I've dated women from other countries. They are more conservative, like being feminine, and a little shy. At least for a little while:)
