If you actually read the article, it stated that women want men who are [b]emotionally available and empathetic[/b]. They are tired of carrying the entire responsibility for the emotional burden of the relationship/family. And they want men who are AS educated and successful as they are, or at least not a loser.

Look - women maybe don't always say they want the things out of men that would make the woman look shallow. I'm sure she does want a guy who is emotionally available and empathetic. But she also probably wants a guy who is good looking, has decent muscles, good hair, and maybe a certain height. She might also want a guy who makes decent money. Looks and financial prospects might even be more of a first-order filter than the empathy -- she'll go out with a guy who's good looking but not empathetic before going out with a guy who is empathetic but ugly.

okay but that's not what the article says. women are dating each other or nobody versus some neanderthal. There isn't the same economic pressure for women to worry about being an old maid anymore. Why do studies [b]consistently[/b] show that single women are the happiest and married women are the least happy?

Men need to up their game--but I am in favor of helping them get the skills they need.[/quote]

I mean - men don't need to do anything. They can also continue to not date. I guess one thing we can do try to get away from making one's relationship status anything that's socially significant. Some of the unhappiness comes from loneliness. But there is also a feeling of lower self-worth because our culture tells us that a person has higher social status if they have a significant other or (in the case of men) are having sex with someone. I swear, half the reason some guys try so hard to have sex with a bunch of women is so their friends will think they're cool. [/quote]
