Percentage of Single Women In Their Thirties to Hit All-Time High
Via Moron Robbie, the coming demographic collapse comes even faster.
Victory Girls writes about Boss Girls shrieking about not finding love as they hit their thirties.
In the coming years, another demographic trend could help further close the pay gap in the U.S.: the rising ranks of single working women. Based on Census Bureau historical data and Morgan Stanley forecasts, 45% of prime working age women (ages 25-44) will be single by 2030--the largest share in history--up from 41% in 2018. What's driving this trend? For starters, more women are delaying marriage, choosing to stay single or divorcing in their 50s and 60s. Women are also delaying childbirth or having fewer children than in the past. "These shifting lifestyle norms are enabling more women, with or without children, to work full time, which should continue to raise the labor force participation rate among single females," says Zentner. Rising labor-force participation rates should put upward pressure on women's wages and help increase overall consumer spending. As it stands, women already control a large share of the U.S. consumer wallet. They contribute an estimated $7 trillion to the U.S. gross domestic product per year, according to the Center for American Progress, and are the principal shoppers in 72% of households, according to consumer surveys conducted by MRI-Simmons. Meanwhile, women are earning bachelor's degrees at a higher rate than men, and they are the primary breadwinner for nearly 30% of married households and nearly 40% of total U.S. households.

I don't think that last one logically impacts the number of single women aged 25-44. Wait, logic? Let me check...lol, I assumed the author was a woman. No writer is listed (that I see), but the bottom of the article has this:

Meanwhile, women are earning bachelor's degrees at a higher rate than men,
Oh. So to be successful all a person needs is a bachelor's degree. It doesn't matter in what discipline, just possessing one.
In the meantime, Mike Rowe is constantly showing how a person can be successful in multiple ways by pursuing a trade, marketable skill, running a business - things that don't necessarily require degrees, just a willingness to do work.
The Culture of Worth Through Credentialism is folly.

Having zero interest in bringing in the Next Generation is a deal killer to a man who want to see his family name continue.

398 That's from a place that's trying to sell the $10K procedure, Archimedes. Which is fine and I don't blame them because advertising works, but I doubt they'd tell you this unless it was in tiny writing at the bottom of the page:
Good point, but I want to know what the CPR is for "fresh" oocytes. I think many people assume it's 100%. It isn't.
"The clinical pregnancy rate per vitrified and thawed oocyte is 4.5%–12%.1
Clinical pregnancy rates decline with advanced maternal age at the time of freezing.1 Furthermore, the ASRM estimates that the live birth rate is 2%–12% for women under 38 years of age.6 Studies examining the success rates of social egg freezing remain limited, and egg freezing does not guarantee a successful pregnancy or live birth."
Nobody is saying (at least I'm not) that 100% of fertilized eggs lead to children, nor that later maternity doesn't diminish one's chances of a successful pregnancy, or that a successful pregnancy is guaranteed (which is also true of young women). But it is incorrect to say that frozen eggs rarely lead to fertilization. AFAIK, Your extract does not compare successful pregnancy rates for frozen vs fresh eggs.

It's not easy- my wife has a LOT of things she does (including homeschooling the youngest two- used to be all 4 until we found a good charter school) but she also has time for not only caring for the family but actually pursuing things she loves for herself. She's a dancer and does some teaching on the side as well.
My daughter (13) sees this family life and also sees the lives of people with two parents working. Even at that age, she knows which works out better for her and the family.
So there is hope.

Men will date anyone higher or lower than themselves in looks or status. The "date" might be a hookup for the less attractive ones, but a 5 man will date a 3 or 4 woman. Women MIGHT date laterally, but mainly they want to date up. A 5 woman will not date a 3 man without wealth or status.
So womens dating pools are very limited and it's a self-inflicted problem. Add the dating apps and it's even worse, with something like 10% of the men on the apps getting all the attention and 90% of the men being invisible.

The first woman's problem? Weird little hands.
The second one looks like Dylan Mulvaney.
And neither will settle for a man who doesn't meet their laundry list of requirements.

>>Why are so many 29 yr old boss girls from Tiktok having public meltdowns about failing to find a man?
From a very young age they've been encouraged to dream big, get busy with the exciting career and all the possibilities available to girl bosses.
What they aren't being told that this choice has consequences, that while they are doing this, other women are settling down (and may still work), thus eliminating a lot of the men who will be available to them when they get around to thinking about marriage and kids.
And then there's been the cultural push to alienate young men and women from healthy heterosexual behavior. Young women are told men are "toxic" and that interest from only the hottest guy(s) is "rapey" and "stalking." They've been sold on the hookup culture instead of dating, and on and on. They've been trained to be not marriageable, trained to fear and despise the men who would treat them the best, marry, and have kids with them.

And the communists, especially the Bolsheviks, know how to package poison in a bright, shiny wrapper.

Many of those women will hear the ticks of their biological clocks & mate but, at later ages, likely producing fewer children.
However, that's how the US really diversifies and citizenship becomes completely skewed.

"How many guys did she pass on to get to this point?"
Could be as few as three.
Could be that the only guys who ever showed interest in her were irresponsible losers who blamed other people for the state of their life, or druggies, or men with baby-mommas in other cities.
Could be that the decent guys she was interested in decided she wasn't worth marrying.
I'm sure none of that would give a gal a complex about her own self-worth.
There are plenty of reason why a middle aged woman might be single.
Some of them could be the accusation that bitter old men like to make about such women - that all of them have been behaving like rakehells all their lives.
Some of them could be that she's never been a rakehell, but doesn't have the social connections or doesn't live in the right place to meet compatible men.
Some of them could just be that she's not 18 and athletically slim, which everyone one the internet (so you know it's true) says is the only kind of woman worth marrying.

Well, they do consistently vote for a Daddy-Husband government to replace the males in their life.
Protecting them, give them jobs, money...
"What's driving this trend?"
More and more are still learning that women need men like a fish needs a bicycle. That's the wisdom from the highest echelons of Girl Power reaping the whirlwind of bra-burning 60-70's.
It really depends on the woman and her personality. I can speak to my own daughters, all of whom are very accomplished, and had a plan for getting to where they are now, which is moms (2 out of 4 married with kids, with a third on the way to marriage and kids, and the fourth still in her mid-20s).
My girls are financially secure, happy, and fulfilled. It can be done, but it takes hard work.
My wife is another case in point. My point is that it isn't necessarily either/or, but there are many women who want both, but can't of won't put in the necessary effort. The same applies to men, of course.

You also have the MGTOW movement. I’m sure there are plenty of men who aren’t the bees knees but women seem to be especially unattractive as lifetime mates nowadays.
I also think the internet has allowed people to compare notes on marriage and many have found that marriage is generally pretty crappy. Marriage researcher John Gottman found that 70% of problems in marriages are unresolvable.

Among things that we rejected because they were so backwards (like the strong societal shunning of bastards) is arranged marriages.
If people would realize that marriage is about building a life together and learning to live with someone else. You learn and grow TOGETHER. Not "I have to get my life in order, make sure that I'm ok and then I can think about a relationship.
(Of note, if you "grow apart", that's not a reason to divorce. You can still grow back together if you realize your mistake.)

i understand another thing going on lately is "grizzle grizzle" to make fun of of the wimmens that say they would rather be trapped in the forest with a bear than a man.

not that i spend too much time in the evenings running youtube in the background while i play world of warcraft or anything, mind you.

Another element is when a woman dates someone with wealth or status and she is permanently stuck at that level. She cannot conceive of "dating down" at a six or seven now that she had a one night stand with the 9 or 10 guy that has banged 100 other women this year because he has wealth and status.
That makes normal / average guys even more invisible, and the 9s and 10s men aren't looking for the sixes and sevens.
Hope you don't have cat allergies, ladies.

Rising labor-force participation rates should put upward pressure on women's wages and help increase overall consumer spending.
-
This is retarded.
More laborers = more supply for "work"
That means the value of the laborer, wages, must decrease.

This is actually an excellent trend long-term. One of the main factors that allowed this country to get so screwed up was the "unified culture" created by first radio, then cinema and finally but most especially by television.
For most of this country's history, communities of people lived their own lives, went to their own churches, went to their own schools or learned at home, and read their own newspapers (which often had names that indicated which party the paper explicitly supported). Mass media gradually ended all of this, until everyone was watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan or the Super Bowl at the same time.
What's wrong with that, you ask? Well it centralized culture, and centralization always lends itself to commies, and commies very definitely took over our culture. These hags only got the way they are in these clips by being to go on a centralized platform and get attention by thirsty idiots with no interest in actual relationships. Such centralized dating culture (whether it was going to bars 50 years ago or dating apps now) would not have existed in a pre mass media world. People dated and married within their tight-nit communities.

...Some of them could be that she's never been a rakehell, but doesn't have the social connections or doesn't live in the right place to meet compatible men.
Some of them could just be that she's not 18 and athletically slim, which everyone one the internet (so you know it's true) says is the only kind of woman worth marrying.
--
With all due respect, these things are impossibilities. If a woman is interested in relationship or marriage she can find a relationship or marriage.
If she doesn't it's her choice. Or her actions, I suppose.

By the time they've finished riding the Cock Carousel, all the men their age and older have chosen younger models.
But it's not the years; it's the miles. Thank Dog that at least for my son, he doesn't have to struggle to defend his mother's honour.
I don't have to either. My parents fooled around before they married --but not before they met. My mom was already married when I was conceived, and 19 when I was born.
Thanks Mom for having me so young so I could have you for so long before you left! ❤️

I think the Hallmark style movies are a part of the problem. They present a false description of what reality is or, at least, what they think reality should be. Middle aged women who live in mansions in diverse communities who support themselves with bakeries, antique shops, and what have you (and have plenty of time off to solve murders) and who attract woke pretty boys at the drop of a hat. Mrs. Wrecks was watching one the other night in which pretty boy wanted to watch a five hour Golden Girls marathon with protagonist. When real life doesn't live up to fairy land, they are disappointed, feel victimized, and become bitter.

The material of society is Shoulds. Either you're pushing your Shoulds on other people or they are pushing theirs on you.
You *cannot* say "Society shouldn't put its Shoulds on me" because that is a should you'll put on everybody who represents that part of society to you.
We expect help in survival from fellow humans, that's what creates the first and primal Should/Expectation. Then they need to be trustworthy so you can expect that they will fill that expectation.
If you don't like Shoulds, retire from society, because you'll either participate or become a hypocrite who thinks that their expectations are fair, unlike everybody else.

I'm a big fan of marriage - IF you do it right. Married 38 years. Wife is amazing. Has taken care of me well through 6 bouts of cancer (ongoing), among many other things. She's not a female Jesus, but we've learned and grown together as committed Christians who wouldn't countenance divorce.
But I can see how bad it is for guys today. I heard a pastor talking about counseling couples where the wife slept around with alphas, then settled for a beta provider, but held the latter in contempt for reminding her that she had to settle. Divorce r*pe ensues, and he loses massive amounts of money and time with his kids. Gee, what's not to like?

It is the mirror reflection perspective of "pron distorts male versions of women".
Except...*most* men understand they aren't going to find attractive women getting stuck in their clothes dryers begging for "help" but...many women I've talked with think the Hallmark thing is kind of real...

I'd do things and she'd do things. I worked outside the home, she stayed at home with the kids. I'd wash clothes and cook if it was needed. As she got more sick, I did more, and didn't begrudge doing it. Marriage is a team event...

The root cause of the problem seems pretty obvious. Feminists pushed hard for women to be men's equals in the workplace and their delusional view of men in society (sleep around with everyone, do what they want without accountability, etc). They wanted the modern lifestyle, but still expected to marry a traditional man that has a better paying job, education, etc that will fully provide for her.
Unfortunately, with women taking over a large chunk of good paying jobs, there are few men in those finite jobs, and more women with higher expectations. Women either need to step back from the workforce, or change expectations to often being the primary breadwinner in the relationship and "marrying down".

"These shifting lifestyle norms are enabling more women, with or without children, to work full time, which should continue to raise the labor force participation rate among single females," says Zentner. Rising labor-force participation rates should put upward pressure on women's wages and help increase overall consumer spending.

None of which will matter one whit to demography. It will be good for companies, I suppose - but those same companies are eating their seed grain. No kids means no customers, but it's worse than that in fact. Humans are the basic, fundamental input in everything.

Modern love.
A man was arrested last month after he tried to ram an adult film star's motorcycle and bludgeon the victim with a golf club, according to Los Angeles police.
James Gosselin, 26, allegedly attempted to run over an adult film actor identified in an LAPD search warrant affidavit as "Hamilton" while Hamilton rode his motorcycle April 2. Gosselin was jealous because Hamilton had made an adult film with his ex-girlfriend "Gia," according to the warrant's statement of probable cause.

Posted by: anachronda at May 22, 2024 01:36 PM
The drizzle drizzle trend has been popular mainly because the sprinkle sprinkle women, and women in general, are getting offended by the drizzle drizzle men saying what they are saying, not even realizing the men are simply repeating the exact same things the sprinkle sprinkle women are saying... mocking them.
The mocking is going right over women's heads. Instead of taking a step back and realizing "oh, I see what you're doing... I can see how the sprinkle sprinkle trend is pretty stupid now"... they are taking the drizzle drizzle statements at face value and criticizing men over it.

Now we live in a society that promotes excessive drama and shrieking emotions in women. No man should have to tolerate that.

"If a woman is interested in relationship or marriage she can find a relationship or marriage."
I suppose that marrying the excuse-making loser because he's the only option that has presented himself certainly does qualify as "finding a relationship or marriage".
And then when she's poor and miserable because she married an excuse making loser, everyone around her will says "Well, you knew he was an excuse-making loser when you married him, so you brought this in yourself."
The idea that "a woman can find a relationship or marriage if she wants one" assumes a) that all potential mates are equally wise and compatible choices, b) that a man has no preferences in the matter, and c) that the man is willing to have the same kind of relation ship the woman is.
If a woman wants a f*ck-buddy, sure, any man will do, and most men might be willing.
If a woman wants a husband, she needs to be a little more discerning, and has to find a man who is willing to marry her.
So the problems of "finding a relationship" and "finding a marriage" are two different ones that really shouldn't be conflated.

there's been a thing on tiktok for a while with dating influencers using "sprinkle sprinkle" to convince women that they should expect men to pay for everything and give them gifts in order to earn their attention. it's a play on that, with men using "drizzle drizzle" and saying the same things to show how silly it is.

Talked to a waitress once where she said she went on a date with a guy who brought her flowers then got completely bent out of shape when she didn't have a gift for him in return.
I'm SOO glad I'm not one of the younger generations, or single currently.

At some point they may realize they've been sold a lie their entire lives, but I doubt it.

I suspect many do. One thing to be careful of that social media is self-selecting. Nobody has ever made money or acquired popularity and accolades for telling people they've made an unfixable mistake based on bad premises and that they are screwed forever and can best serve as an object lesson to those who come next. Add into that the fact of social media being psychogenic in the first place and no, there will be no acceptance or accountability in these kinds of productions.
The real question here is not whether the kinds of middle-aged single and embittered women on social media will continue to rationalize their conditions and histories, but whether younger women will *see* those mistakes and adjust accordingly. Time will tell on that, but we may be out of that particular commodity.

So is asking the father's permission before proposing to the daughter a thing again? That was done with two of my nieces.
If I had asked her father's permission first (which he would have gladly given), my wife would've smacked me.

I worked with a guy that had an arranged marriage. He lived here and she lived in some other state. Sounded pretty good to me.
A Jordanian friend of mine had a cousin that was a "refugee" in Sweden.
Got an apartment from the government and a check. He shacked up with a Swedish woman and rented out the apartment.
When she found out he was married back in Jordan and going back to perform his husbandly duties she dumped him.
But...he found another woman in Italy (isn't free travel across national borders great?) that doesn't mind his wifey back home. Still has the apartment and check from Sweden though too...

The idea that "a woman can find a relationship or marriage if she wants one" assumes a) that all potential mates are equally wise and compatible choices, b) that a man has no preferences in the matter, and c) that the man is willing to have the same kind of relation ship the woman is.
If a woman wants a f*ck-buddy, sure, any man will do, and most men might be willing.
If a woman wants a husband, she needs to be a little more discerning, and has to find a man who is willing to marry her.
So the problems of "finding a relationship" and "finding a marriage" are two different ones that really shouldn't be conflated.
Posted by: FeatherBlade at May 22, 2024 01:49 PM (ou9hh)
If talking about quantity passed on though, the answer is usually a very large number. It's very easy for women to get attention, though they're often poor at sorting and have a poor sense of their own relative value(which is highly important as to whether the man would consider marrying her). Women frequently aim for men who wouldn't marry them, because the man is the most attractive(by whatever criteria) one giving her attention. Thing is, that biases towards well above them.

Sorry, my level of sympathy is 0.000 to the 174th decimal place.
There was a scene in "Margin Call" where Demi Moore and Stanley Tucci are in a rubber room to keep them in well-conpensated isolation while the apocalypse is going on. Demi asks Stanley if he has any children, to which he replies he has two. Clearly, she gave up that to climb the ladder, which has collapsed under her. Now she has no hope. Poignant.

I remember what I guess I'll call Donahue-ism back when Phil Donahue had his talk show.
People pushed the idea that could be summed up that somebody who "puts expectations" on you is WRONG to do so. Exterior expectations are wrong and mean.
You should be allowed to be you. And others just have to appreciate you for who you are.
This "perfection" has done a lot of damage over time in this society. And has created expectations that cannot be fulfilled, but only reconciled by a lack of notice.

You make a great point.
Women insisted they wanted men to be in touch with their feminine side. Fine, men said. They did it and became less masculine overall and less capable of doing masculine things.
Women then complained because men held the doors and they #MeToo'd and insisted men leave them alone and not talk to them at the grocery store and didn't compliment their looks, and men said "fine" and did what women asked.
It's almost like... Well, nevermind.

It might be one of the single worst strategies ever devised by the mind of woman, but I think that's the play she's running here.
She'll doubtless attract lots of men who know she's desperate and is likely to put out. I doubt she will be happy with them.

Undeniably true. And dating is the negotiation phase where you come to terms with what you can accept and what you can change, because everyone has their flaws and some days we can all be hard to live with.
Young women approaching the dating phase like terrorists, with a list of demands, or like merchants looking to barter goods and services don't seem likely to find happiness.

"If a woman is interested in relationship or marriage she can find a relationship or marriage."
I suppose that marrying the excuse-making loser because he's the only option that has presented himself certainly does qualify as "finding a relationship or marriage".
And then when she's poor and miserable because she married an excuse making loser, everyone around her will says "Well, you knew he was an excuse-making loser when you married him, so you brought this in yourself."
-
I wasn't trying to make anything personal and still won't engage in a way that creates that environment.
but yes, this:

This "perfection" has done a lot of damage over time in this society. And has created expectations that cannot be fulfilled, but only reconciled by a lack of notice.

IMO; both those gals in the videos appear mentally unstable. The slapping of the hands, the crying, the demanding recognition for who they believe they are. Life is hard and raising a family is harder. What would those 2 loons bring to the table other than demands and angst? I guess some guys are saying no thanks.

People in general have always bitched and moaned, said inappropriate things, and so on. The only difference now is that YT, Tik Tok, Fakebook, etc. have sold personal dramas as a substitute for soap operas online.

The other difference is that it skews everyone's perceptions. Most women and men are normal - but they don't think the others are. B/c the internet tells them they aren't...and they never get out in their neighborhoods and communities to see otherwise.

To find a "mate", you enter into a relationships where there is a whole level more expectation and a more sizable role to fill.
This is why the other person treats you so special in this relationship is that they now will invest a *good* chunk of their time and energy on you.
There are a lot of parts to fulfilling this role in a relationship that aren't just you being who you are.
(It's a little embarrassing how long it's taken to get my head unscrewed from the Talk Show Gospels of the 20th century. Even while not investing that strong of belief in it.)

TBH society should encourage women to marry and have children young, THEN enter college or the working world.
It is a lot easier to have a baby at 20 then at 35, and if you want more then one...
That would mean structuring society so
1) Women and men have different life paths
2) Women marry somewhat older men
3) The government/taxes/regulations are reduced to the extent that a young man can again earn enough to pay to support a family
Pretty sure this is all rank heresy to modern feminism but...this is also what Heritage America looked like

"Screwing up" is not why mills have closed and industry has been shipped overseas.
It turns out that American men working and trying to raise families aren't really represented in our country. Which is probably part of why Trump was so hated.

If a woman wants a husband, she needs to be a little more discerning, and has to find a man who is willing to marry her.
There is this thing called "Church". People who are motivated to become better people go there, occasionally several times a week to learn, develop and hone their civilizational skills. Men learn to be godly men and women learn to be godly women. This means people jettison their carnal, selfish ways and develop an 'agapé love for others.
If being a good person was natural, there would be no need to undergo what ends up being a life long transformation.
Those two videos demonstrate that these characters had zero interest in becoming Proverbs 31 women. And likely there are very few men who want to be disciplined godly men.
So, of course, their will be sinful conflicts, friction and discord.
The bulk of our culture long ago abandoned training up our children to be responsible partners and parents.

It's probable that she drastically overestimates the value of her time.

Mollycoddled, half-a-fag blue city man-children who swipe at dating apps between rounds of videogames and delay dates because of monkeypox flareups aren't a real prize.
And G-d forbid she needs something repaired by someone who knows the difference between a 24 and 32 thread machine screw. These boys can only work a cell phone.

Personally I was offended and thought this son of immigrants was bringing an 'old school' concept of her as being a possession to be turned over. I raised my daughter to be fiercely independent.
But that's me, and maybe I was wrong. But it did rub me the wrong way.

There was a scene in "Margin Call" where Demi Moore and Stanley Tucci are in a rubber room to keep them in well-conpensated isolation while the apocalypse is going on. Demi asks Stanley if he has any children, to which he replies he has two. Clearly, she gave up that to climb the ladder, which has collapsed under her. Now she has no hope. Poignant.

Just recently watched that. Great movie.
I liked how some of the high management types were trying to bullshit the CEO at the emergency meeting and he told them to just shut up and asked for the guy who discovered the emergency to speak to it. And asked for him to just tell him the facts, no bullshit. And he did and the CEO respected him for it.
I saw myself in that situation, as that happens all the time in my area of work. Where the managers want to peddle BS to not look bad, while I always wanted to just put out all the facts so we could actually, you know, FIX the problem.

It's kind of funny when I hear women like the first video talk about being successful.
Men do not care about that. They care that you're not a slug. Oh, you've been stuck at the same job for years? Cool. Are you fun to be around? Do you elevate the enjoyment of life when you're around? Can you be chill? Is everything a crisis with you? Are your friends tolerable? Are you willing to laugh at my stupid jokes?

That would mean structuring society so
1) Women and men have different life paths
2) Women marry somewhat older men
3) The government/taxes/regulations are reduced to the extent that a young man can again earn enough to pay to support a family
--
End no-fault divorce so that men have an incentive to get married.

If talking about quantity passed on though, the answer is usually a very large number. It's very easy for women to get attention, though they're often poor at sorting and have a poor sense of their own relative value(which is highly important as to whether the man would consider marrying her). Women frequently aim for men who wouldn't marry them, because the man is the most attractive(by whatever criteria) one giving her attention. Thing is, that biases towards well above them.

And they can land those men easily when they're young. They can't keep one, but they can bed one a few times. Then that becomes the baseline. "I got Mr. 95%, so Mr. 75% isn't good enough because I am Miss 100%, not not Miss 70%."

Oh. So to be successful all a person needs is a bachelor's degree. It doesn't matter in what discipline, just possessing one.

In a decade when men's earning levels are still above women's because men have found the wage earning jobs despite not having degrees, the collective head explosion will make Krakatoa look like a firecracker.

"Why are so many 29 yr old boss girls from Tiktok having public meltdowns about failing to find a man?"
She's pretty enough, but never mentions anything about politics. She wants someone to be her equal, which can be fine, unless it is the feminist version of "equal", which demands constant affirmation of her Strength and Power (or whatever).
Since she's spewing on TikTok, good chance she's a Karen and wants a male version of "Karen", because MAGA is gross and misogynist and white supremacist.
And in the divorce, she'd want (and probably get) everything, since she is the "weaker sex", and male judges seem to like to white knight for these sweet young thangs.

I've seen smarter feminists pointing out that to rise up the corporate ladder you really need a spouse/assistant.
They don't quite understand their complaint though when they note that women on the corporate ladder can't find male spouse/assistant types. And...knowing a few of these women not a single one is going to try and have a relationship with a guy like that. I'm a director I'm dating/marrying a director or above!

It means nothing. "Single" is almost never what you think it means. The "Single Girl Era" is the "fuck around" period. "I'm single" means simply "I have no committed boyfriend," not "I am abstinent" or "I don't date."
See also: "situationship," which means, "I regularly see a guy and bang and all, but we haven't defined our relationship, largely because he doesn't want to." "Situationship" is to women what "friend zone" is to men - except that the women get sex. Neither get commitment or a relationship. It used to be called "fuck buddies" or "friends with benefits."

I’m, rising labor force participation rates most definitely does not put upward pressure on wages. More workers = lower wages. Whoever wrote that is an idiot.
Posted by: sniffybigtoe at May 22, 2024 01:34 PM (JTwsP)

Noticed that - was idiotic. But the entire labor pool is shrinking, which will drive wage increases for everyone.
Women are in the most vulnerable white color jobs to the AI explosion, and while they most definitely get most of the degrees, they don't get most of the degrees in the subjects that really matter and pay well. They get a white collar admin job that when our parents were working was classified as "blank" Clerk, that pays around $50K if they are lucky, even with a masters and an accumulated school debt of over $50K.
This part of the population will die out because while Darwin has some holes in his thesis, acting stupidly is always a good way to become extinct. But the damage they can inflict on the way out could be substantial.

It's kind of funny when I hear women like the first video talk about being successful.
Men do not care about that...
Saw a video with a woman laying out all the things she needed to have in a man - money, status, etc etc. Then it cut to a guy who had all those things walking into a fast food restaurant, seeing the hot cashier, and getting all doe eyed...

That's a part of it. The arbitrary divorce lottery has to end.
But there's a bigger part. If you want both men *and* women to seriously reconsider their actions in the moment, end the "Tender Years Doctrine." Default male custody, as was the norm in many places before the late 19th century. A major point of marriage is to ensure paternity.

Lived in South America for a few years. I never enjoyed dancing at clubs/parties here because it was stressful getting women to dance. There it was wild, fun and almost never got a no, even from total strangers. It was low pressure and good times and not always about trying to pick somebody up, just enjoying the evening.
American women should take some notes and learn to relax when asked to dance. Might even allow some physical contact instead of just bobbing around each other. It is a lot more fun.

That last part requires responsibility (respected in 1964, despised in 2024). Americans don’t want to be responsible anymore and ache for a no fault existence,

The families of five female Israeli soldiers still being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza released a three-minute video of the women’s abduction during the October 7 attack, with footage recovered from body cameras and smartphones.
In the heavily-edited video, the women are seen with their hands bound, standing and then sitting by a concrete wall, presumably at the Nahal Oz military base in Israel, which was overrun for several hours on the morning of October 7.
There are also hints of sexual abuse. One of the terrorists says, according to the subtitles, that the Israeli captives are women “who can get pregnant.” Another says to a bloodied, battered female Israeli hostage: “You are so beautiful.”
We thought hard and really tried to find the words to describe how heartbroken, shocked, and enraged we are in light of the new abduction video of the five female observers. There truly are no words to describe what they did or how they did it. The sadistic, diabolical, barbaric torment that our women endured while treating them like prizes and trophies, just plain objects to do with as they please. All the while praising themselves for their inhumane and monstrous accomplishments.

I've lived in the South my entire life. I watched the illegals take over because they'll work for nothing until they get control of the trade and then it costs the same as hiring Americans. "Screwing up" is not why illegals have taken over drywall, roofing, etc.
"Screwing up" is not why mills have closed and industry has been shipped overseas.
It turns out that American men working and trying to raise families aren't really represented in our country. Which is probably part of why Trump was so hated.

Agree. And let’s be real, companies found they can dangle citizenship or permanent residency as part of the compensation package and so pay less in cash.
If you are an illegal or even on a work visa you will take that cut rate pay to eventually get that golden ticket that may be dangled in front of you.

Agree. And let’s be real, companies found they can dangle citizenship or permanent residency as part of the compensation package and so pay less in cash.
If you are an illegal or even on a work visa you will take that cut rate pay to eventually get that golden ticket that may be dangled in front of you.

Entirely, which is why survivable civilizations regulate the sexual market.
Because it isn't good or solid, but it *is* fun, especially if you're a woman (universal access from about age 16 at the inside and 32 at the outside) or a top ~20% man. All fun and games. Euphoric. Addicting. Then it collapses like a dying star and you have wreckage in the wake.
The other way - abstinence, basically, until marriage as the expectation, which moderates behavior - is not anything like so much fun. It's downright boring, and you might have to settle.

With all due respect, these things are impossibilities. If a woman is interested in relationship or marriage she can find a relationship or marriage.
If she doesn't it's her choice. Or her actions, I suppose.

Already has. Knew some construction guys from Minneapolis Minnesota in the 90's via Air Force civil engineering--they were driven out of the masonry trade by illegals undercutting them way back then.
Far too many college educated people have exalted views of their own relative worth and too little of those people sweating, groaning, and breaking their backs because they 'only' have a high school diploma or GED. So essentially, if Juan or Achmed will do their lawncare, tree service, Uber, table bussing, or whatever service cheaper than Mr. John Doe, then they deride John Doe as being lazy, tell him to learn to code, etc. Many are Democrats but quite a few are in the GOP and compose its donor and officeholding class.
Kevin Williamson is an exemplar of this nasty tendency.

SMOD: "Social Media has diminished the value of physical presence.

Good point. Technology has been replacing organic relationships at an ever increasing rate. Person-to-person contact while not exclusively essential is practically exclusively essential. At least as far as lasting, committed relationships go and the potential of it.

The hook up culture is to blame for much of this. These women crying, how many different sexual partners do you think they've had? You think men want to "make an honest woman" of someone when they're the 40th partner they've banged?
Also, guys are way more aware of the legal ramifications of what happens when a marriage goes south. I know so many that have gone through nasty divorces that will never marry again despite easily being able to do so. You're basically signing up to get financially destroyed and women file for divorce like 70-80% of the time versus the man.
"Not marrying" hurts women way more than men, but I still say we all suffer having a huge, angry demographic of bitchy women.

If you really want the life of a corporate drone you can enter at 30 just as easily as at 23...
No you probably won't get to VP but that's true for everyone.

On the Whatever podcast a male guest mentioned that female fertility starts to drop at 28. None of the young female guests would believe him. One mentioned some celebrity that had given birth at 40 and they all decided that meant it was trivial to have a kid at that age if you wanted.
When the male guest asked why the celeb hadn't told anyone about the pregnancy until some time after birth none of the young female guests could understand his point...
Posted by: 18-1 at May 22, 2024 02:16 PM (ibTVg)
my late sister had a child well after 40 without extreme measures I ever heard about. It can happen. Poor fellow had a condition that developed tumors around the optic nerve and brain that used to blind them, but these days he just had to have major surgery before he was 4. And yes, this condition becomes much more common in older mothers.

Okay any trade jobs which are also in demand. Didn't think I needed to drill down. The fact is white or black kids in general aren't pursuing how to be HVAC techs, plumbers , electricians, carpenters much less the specialized trades as heavy equipment operators, welders , airplane mechanics, etc . Not every trade job is paying under the table .

Fair enough.
I fully support trade jobs. Realistically, would the hottie up top consider dating a plumber?
I'm not saying that's the main reason men are looking at college, but I bet it's a big part of it. The men might not articulate it as such, but a degree vs HVAC tech when introducing yourself at the bar or dating app would undeniably make a difference to the hotties.

I was born to a middle-aged woman. I wasn't planned. I'm also fine. It isn't even all that unusual.
It isn't that you can't get pregnant after 35, it's just that it's an ever-worsening combination of "unlikely" and "risky." Probability falls and risks increase simultaneously. Pregnancies after 35 are considered "geriatric" for a reason.

That is one of the common sense notions that actually has significant support from research. Notch counts for both men and women affect future marriage prospects and the longevity of any ensuing marriages. Basically screwing around becomes a sort of grass is always greener mantra for the higher notch count individuals. Part of infidelity always comes from considering the idea in the first place as acceptable and depending on the individual--they will adopt conscious or unconscious means to keep their options open.

It hasn't. Often it is cheaper to build new factories with incentives than to repurpose old factories. Even better is to glom onto subsidies like Rivian and then never build a new factory.
There is actually quite a bit of interest in the trades for males now as 4 yr colleges have become very inhospitable to males and loading graduates with a lot of debt.

Alright, sauce for the gander time. Your contention applies equally well to men. If a man is interested in a marriage or relationship, he can find one. Discernment need not apply. He needs to shut up and take whatever is available, regardless of her suitability.

Or he *is* there, but doesn't want her. If she already "got it out of her system" or is "ready to settle down with a good man," what's the incentive for that good man? What's left in her "system" for him? Why didn't she want the "good" man back when it mattered?

Research shows that if the woman is a virgin at marriage the chance that she reports being happy some year later is something around 80 percent. If she has had as few as 5 different sexual partners at marriage it drops to 20-30 percent. Men have a decline but it is not as severe.

That first one is completely psycho. You'd have to be really brave or desperate to date her. The second one seemed pretty sympathetic. Going out to a singles group like that can be very intimidating. I did it and eventually it worked out great! And most of the good ones are taken by 30, She's getting into the divorcee pool now and it's a fickle lot.

That is pretty much what a lot of churches have been telling men in their congregations. Result is congregations becoming more and more female in attendance.
Humans are pretty similar---treat them like shit and some will tolerate it but most will find better things to do with the rest of their life. That goes for males or females---the bits are usually the least interesting thing about people.

Divorce for males was pretty casual in most Ottoman Islamic schools of law with minimal consequences. Concubinage had little or no expectations for the relationship---only for any kids that resulted. Notice that I included both circumstances.

In automotive industry, at least in engineering sector, the labor force is increasing, but not with American workers. It is increasing because of all the outsourcing of engineering positions since the Plandemic of 2020 pushed a lot of those jobs to remote work.
My department used to be 100% American workers, in office. After the Plandemic was executed and 100% remote work started, they fired all the contract workers and went with skeleton crew of remaining direct employees. Then after 2021 merger, they started replacing all direct engineer employees in my department with 2-3 low cost "engineers" (LCE) from Mexico, India, Canada and Brazil.
FF to Jan '24. Record profits announced. Feb '24, CEO gets massive $14mil bonus. Mar '24, 400 American engineers fired. April 2024, each replaced with 2-3 LCE.

Hyundais built at Montgomery, AL, or BMWs at Spartanburg, SC, and much else besides.

My two cents: few people know what marriage is; fewer people know it's a sacrament.
The man I wanted to marry who wanted to marry me died suddenly. When I reentered the dating scene, I found men who didn't want a wife. They wanted a friend with benefits, a live-in girlfriend, or (when I got a mortgage) to move in with me. Tried Match.com and other ways, but found "single" men with attachments, "Christian" men who didn't believe in the Resurrection, and "Catholic" men who didn't believe in the Real Presence. Sure believed in premarital sex, though!)
One of my single male cousins is unmarried. He has had a similar experience, but with the added "bonus" of lots of single mothers who were raised by divorced or never-married mothers.
I have two "successfully" married friends without children. One slept with every man she ever dated until finally one wanted to marry her. She didn't want kids; he didn't care. Another lived with her boyfriend for about 10 years until a life-altering event. She couldn't carry a baby to term; he didn't want to adopt.
I couldn't do what they did.
