What is the future of heterosexual dating when the number of men attending college continues to drop

This. I don't know many young women who actually want to date a man. Dating women is where it's at.

Hey, what's wrong with middle eastern men? My DD can scoop them up. Thanks!

Does your daughter own a burka by chance?

Afghanistan is not middle eastern, and they don't speak arabic

I think the future of dating is more single people of both genders, except for educated, successful men. I work at a law firm and most of the younger admins and paralegals who are young and eyeing law school are single. 20 years ago, those women would have been paired up or at the very least, "serially monogamous." Now most of them complain of the lack of quality guys.

Oh to be a guy in college these days!

2. not everybody needs to or want to get married, that’s new so this may take care of itself.

3. If men can step it up at home women can work men can stay home.

4. Many women will just have kids without men which is what they ever wanted in the 1st place.

I predict less marriage in general. I think Gen Z is not so interested.

What exactly are they into? Not working, not marriage, not the military. Being taken over by another country? Seems a bit inevitable if they are just anti everything existing.

They are interested in companionship and equal partnerships in child care and homemaking rather than resentfully staying legally entangled out of Shane or financially necessity.

They are interested in work-life balance rather than making someone else a profit at the expense of their wellness and ethics.

They are interested in diplomacy and cooperation as means to security rather than xenophobia and profit-driven international relations.

I respect all of this even if my own generation has failed to achieve it.

Go with the trad school man who works hard, likes kids, coaches sports, runs a business.
Plumbers, GCs, electricians, etc all run apprenticeship models and make a lot of money and can craft their hours on or off. And have great tax advisors writing off the $500k pick ups, home office, etc.

Open your eyes Op.

You say this but this is a minority of men. Just as many tradespeople live from paycheck to paycheck, don't have insurance and are financially insecure. Let's not pretend like every handyman is a hidden titan of commerce.

Being literate in English and a high school grad helps. Start with those.

You are missing the point. People without college aren’t the financial Berden that people think because they are making as much or more than their counterparts so stop using college as be all to end all, was the point.

So where's the data on this? Particularly for the millennials who should have enough data on this by now.

I can only go on my own data. I make about 220 k with no college whatsoever, but have done great without it.

Good example of why, in general, college is correlated more with success PP. You appear to have never been taught how to extrapolate beyond your own experiences. Of course, some people who don't go to college do great. And some people who go to college end up as failures. But statistically, the group who goes to college is much more likely to be successful. And your solo experience does not disprove that point.

I didn’t realize I had to be so literal for you but here we go- um, yes I realize that I’m not the only one that’s successful without college and many people have pointed to the same thing, knowing people that have done extremely well without a degree. I’m backing up that greater point of being in a position to relate to people that know someone that didn’t need college.
I know many people that feel like college was a waste of time and they chose careers that had nothing to do with what they studied, also.

Lol. People can relate to others who went to college or not. It’s only a couple years of life so pretty much everyone has friends who went or didn’t go. I do think people of similar means and interests tend to stick together.

Let me tell you why we voted for Trump. Because some of his policies were good for the nation. Like getting out of the endless war in Afghanistan. And securing the southern border, promote legal immigration, attempt to curtail illegal immigration. And trying to curtail the power/influence of the narco cartels down south. And his fights with the intel community and establishment were provoking. Did you like how the CIA leaked to the Post about Russian bounties in Afghanistan. Just misinformation for the American public. (Nothing to see here) Some of us believe in limited government and value the private sector, we are a vanishing breed. Where the rights of the individual are respected in the face of the state.

But true as you state........Trump is simply a mouthpiece with no character, I don't think he believes in anything.........say anything to get votes. Our current situation is simply big government, with a DoD budget over $850 billion per year. Feel safe??

Anybody with half a sense, dignity and understanding of anything you wrote in the 1st paragraph KNEW TRUMP DID NOT STAND FOR ANY OF THAT.

I didn’t say never voted Republican.

You got duped and most intelligent women don’t want to date someone that easily fooled.

Not necessarily. I’m actually the only one of my friends that didn’t go to college.

Exactly. Trump lied constantly to his own supporters and they are just too dense to realize it.

All of your posts seem smug and naive. Young? Most people in America for all generations do not go to college. Your friends have other friends who didn’t go to college and they know and interact with others that didn’t including you. They probably don’t think you are as unique as you make yourself out to be but at the same time they know a lot of people both college educated and non college educated that do not make much money.

In this context it’s mainly that he’s a misogynist that women don’t like Trump supporters.
