[quote=Anonymous]I read the article. I read through some of the replies on NYT.

This is my sentiment exactly.

"This article places too much emphasis on women as the "choosers" in the dating dynamic.  The opposite and has long been the case and remains so today.  Men are conditioned to want a fantasy archetype woman that few harried independent professional women can achieve.  Most women are not gold diggers, but the archetypal woman that men want has little choice but to rely on a partner for economic support to maintain the facade men desire, which by the way requires a lot of time and money.  If todays young men can't attract their chosen female archetype, they hide in dark rooms viewing porn, gaming and consuming media that fuels their sense of entitlement.

Those who do venture out and interact with real women, will find an abundance of women looking for intimacy and connection.  These men often feed their entitlement with this cornucopia of choice, further exacerbating the loneliness and desperation of women looking to partner.

The sad reality of "your body-my choice" is that this sentiment is nothing new.  The only thing different about today relative to 20th century dating dynamics is that young women seem willing to move on with their lives, adulting solo while men continue living as adolescents."[/quote]
