The times article is more than "not quite right". The survey used 15 yos, women whose husbands were at war or simply away from home for a period of time, teen agers still going to college and living at home etc. The real figures are somewhere on the line of 60 percent of adult women are married and wait longer to get married, usually around age 25. An even bigger percentage WANT to get married but haven't yet. You are the on e who should "get real" and should try finding the real facts instead of using MSM crap as truth.
What you are essentially saying is the report is fake but accurate, you must be a relative of Dans huh?
Who is Dans?
Before I rely on ANYONE's stats,I use common sense and basic observations of what is going on around me.
Fact-growing up in suburban California circa 1950"s,divorces and singlehood after thirty were pretty rare.In fact,people actually whispered that post thirty unmarried men"had"to be Gay!
Fact-in 2007,it is very common to meet straight folks,hard working people,some with means,who are either divorced,living together or single and living alone.
Now I don't LIKE it that way.I wish we could all live in a Donna Reed world.Yet I'm not going to deny what is ubiquitous around me,even if the New York Times confirms it.
