Some, not many. Only 2% or so of the population is gay.

Among Gen Z, it’s 21%. Bringing the overall percentage to 7%.

LOL. Gen X had its share of four-year lesbians too. Most of those ended up with their MRS degree in the end.

Certainly wasn’t 21%.

As an actual trans person, I wish this was the case. It would make my life a lot easier. You know that the city isn't full of queer people when you have people stare at you with looks of shock on their face when seeing you. Like wow, I found one in the wild! Let me get my camera and safari journal!

It’s a huge issue. Not just because of the college but the lack of manners towards women and the lack of work ethic. Peter Pan syndrome all over.

plus a million. I didn’t do any college and make more than every one of my friends with multiple degrees.

And you don’t know what you know. That arrogance is not going to be a cultural fit for a college-educated person.

It’s not arrogance, but it’s stating a fact that degrees don’t mean anything in today’s world. You have people with degrees working at Starbucks.

Sorry you couldn’t afford or couldn’t manage to graduate.

So many men all over the internet. I’m not sure if I want to have kids or feel comfortable with them. I simply don’t understand this comment. You were a kid. People have kids all over the world. It’s a projection of something else

More 30 something educated women will realize they will not find a spouse until they give up the college-degree requirement or the divorced dads start dating.

But this is not new. Many college educated men have always been fine dating and marrying women without degrees, so the dating pool among the college educated has always been lopsided.

This, plus more US-born women will marry foreign men with degrees. I’ve seen this already in my community, along with mixed collar marriages where the woman has one or more degrees, but the man does not. She isn’t necessarily the higher earner.

1. Only 30% graduated from college at the height so this still only affects a small number.

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.

The reality is 70-80% of men voted for trump so dating is slim anyway.

Well, I didn’t want to go to college so you don’t have to be sorry about it, but thank you. Enjoy your college debt.

I am a biglaw partner so I have all the fancy education. Many of my clients have no formal education (think car dealership owners, general contractors, etc.). They make a ton more than me, they are obviously very smart to have this level of success. And they have no problem dating.

I get that all else being equal women want the education as well but also, all else being equal, women will marry the rich man who owns 15 car dealerships over the poor man with a degree in sociology making 50k a year.

Number 2 is spot on— every married person I know has told me that if their marriage ended, they’d never do the marriage thing again and it’s still perplexing how non married people out of college hold marriage on a pedestal, but if they’d had conversations with anyone that’s been married, their tune would change.

The women who can’t select a mate will go extinct. Even if they manage to squeeze one child out by sperm donor, IVF before the life germ is totally exhausted, the next generation will have no interest in or capacity for reproduction (whether socially, physically, or economically) and the line ends there. The ones who are willing to find a mate will be fine and continue on to experience demographic plurality over a long enough time. It seems obvious, it’s a self-correcting problem.

Do you know "most women"? Did you ask them? Maybe you can speak for women in your social circle, but not "most women".

I think you're premise is flawed.

Enjoy being proud and ignorant.
