My DS is awesome but he's gay so no help there...but he will make a great DH to some lucky man.

I’ve got 4 boys. We’re the last Boy Scouts.

No video games. No soft hands. And no talking back to Momma.

This is my concern with my young adult DD. She’s been with her BF for five years. He dropped out of college after three semesters, while she graduated. He works retail maybe 30 hours a week and plays video games most of the rest of the time. I had hoped he’d go back to school, but that doesn’t look likely.

But she says she’s happy with him, so I have to just wish them the best. But I do worry.

If he is a good person and makes her happy and they ever married and had kids, she can be the major breadwinner and he can give more time to kuds and the household.

IDK. Someone devoting this much time to video games and sloth probably won’t be a good SAHP.

Read the job forum and the relationship forum.

The guys may have it figured out.

Yup. SAHP isn't an easy part time gig.

K-12 schools are failing our boys. That's why most universities are reaching a 60/40 female-male ratio.

The result is that if a college-educated woman wants to marry a college-educated man -- not an outrageous ask -- then it's 3 women competing for 2 men.

I have an amazing son, so there is hope. The issue is that he has tons of women throwing themselves at him. So, for one like mine (resident specialist doctor, 6'2, athletic, green eyes, beautiful hair) there are lots of girls interested in dating him. If I were a single woman, I'd look at first generation immigrants. I'm from Central Europe and most of my friends married Central or Eastern European men. All were raised by working moms, and they are very hands on with the kids and household work. When I met my American husband, he didn't know how to cut a tomato, his mom did everything for them. He had no idea you can't keep unwrapped chicken in the fridge for 3 weeks and expect it to smell fine. In my neighborhood, I also see a lot of very successful Indian doctors (surgeons, chief cardiologists) married to white American women.

Teach your daughters it’s better to stay single than marry a dud.

This 100 percent. In college, the competition is really fierce for heterosexual men - the men interested in an exclusive relationship are few and far between. Casual hookup culture is more the norm.

While DD’s gal pals in undergrad all have internships across the US, all their guy friends from the same college are just home hanging out, working at cold stone, they didn’t even try for internships. At this rate, there won’t be enough worthy males in our society for our DDs to marry.

Why do you think so many women these days are LGBTQ? The answer to marry other women. Everything is better— the sex, the communication, the listening, plus the earning potential.

+1! I started dating women after my divorce, and now I don’t know why I married a man in the first place. Everything is better with a woman.

But I’m not gay!

Yup, this is what I did and it worked well. I have a smart, thoughtful, successful husband .
