[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those women are not settling for men who are not compatible, full partners. Nothing wrong with that. It sounds like if any of them met the right guy, they'd consider marriage.

But, doesn't that mean men are giving up too? The population of the U.S. is 50.5% female. If they aren't getting married, neither are men. Or is something going wrong with a large portion of the male population making them incompatible marriage partners?[/quote]

Hard truth time:[b] a large portion of the male population has always been comprised of "incompatible marriage partners"[/b] but women didn't used to have the agency to opt-out like we do now. [/quote]
Definitely true for visible issues - mental, alcohol, abuse, etc.  Those incompatible types stayed living at home or went off like lone wolves and may not have lived very long.

Issue today is the invisible disability ones may not be at home. There are more academic or job options for them to be a one trick pony.

Now with the easy living tech age, remote tech jobs, tons of mass/social media to parrot back, and graduating everyone from high school no matter what, they show up working in their studios and ordering food delivery. 
Some desperate or Type A woman may even meet them in stem classes or grad school and be fooled. [/quote]
