"Why There Are No Good Men Left" for women 35-45.

It is because men 25-35 are chasing women 25-35

It is because men 35-45 are chasing women 25-35

It is because women chased their careers when they were 25-35

You forgot the affluent men 45-65 who are looking for trophy wives 25-35.

And it's because lesbians 35-45 are also chasing women 25-35.

AND, maybe it's because men have seen what happens when "she" decides she doesn't "love" him anymore....and decides to find someone else (or finds someone else and decides she doesn't "love" him anymore)....she takes 1/2 the assets, the kids, and then makes him pay while she shacks up with another male.

I won't deny that I'm still looking in the women 25-35 group. I would like to start my own family, not raise somebody else's.

You're all right. Those gals 25-35 have got it made, it seems.

If someone has already made this point, I apologize for the redundancy. But males who go to college expect to graduate, have a career and a spouse at the same time. The females graduate and expect only the career first, then later to have a spouse. The men, darn them anyway, don't want to wait around for the females to turn 30. They get married, as nature intended, while they are young and strong enough to bear the burdens of work and family. No one told the career minded females that they would likely miss the marriage boat if they put career first and marriage and family second. They are going to have to want both, or settle for the leftovers.

The pattern seems to hold true though, with a family I know. There are four children. The oldest son graduated and got a law degree, he got married, to another professional, and she is expecting. The next child, a daughter, got a degree, and a job, but she has a boyfriend, and at this time, there is no serious talk of marriage. The third child, a male, got a degree, got a job, and is engaged. The fourth child, a male, is still in school. I am betting that soon after he graduates, there will be a woman and an engagement. Kind of illuminating.
