Women can afford to be pickier because we don't "require" a man to support us, hold property for us, drive us around, etcetera. I don't see this as a bad thing. Some feminist types may turn it into a bad thing by carrying it too far, but it's still good. I got married at 23 which is not bad these days. If I'd had to get married at 18 to have someone to pay for my upkeep, I wouldn't have found my perfect match.

My point exactly.

So again... men haven't changed. Women have.

"So again... men haven't changed. Women have."

You don't know what the term 'Shotgun Wedding' means? They were for the males who took advantage of a girl and didn't bother to marry her--even after the fact--until her DADDY showed up with a shotgun and the Justice of the Peace, to make sure she and their baby didn't have to go on government assistance etc.

Plenty of us males are still old-fashioned MEN who respect and protect women. Plenty of merely-males continue to use women as playthings.
