[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter hosted a gathering this weekend. She and her friends are all 30 to 35 years old. This may sound terrible but I couldn’t help but notice how many of her stunning lifelong friends were either long-term single or their male companions (husbands, fiancés, and live-in boyfriends) were optics mismatches and also, many of them didn’t seem to have a lot going on professionally. I’m not just saying this because I’ve known them for so long. My daughter’s friends are very attractive, very sporty lifestyles, most have two degrees, and they are successful professionally. I’m sorry for noticing, but most of the men they were with just were not handsome at all. Even my husband noticed and he never makes comments like that. Is this reflective of how challenging it is out there for women my daughter’s age?[/quote] Yes it is challenging. Main reasons is that large portions of men: - are underemployed and under-educated, don’t have their lives together, barely (30%) - are educated but scared of educated and successful women. (20%) - are educated, well employed, but intensely selfish and narcissistic (15%) - are educated, well employed, but out of it socially and likely have unidentified mental disorders (15%) - educated, successful, family oriented w proof of effort, looking for the same (20%) That leaves a small population of marriage materials: educated, family oriented, can communicate, team approach to marriage and working Also, all of the first 4 groups market themselves via lip service that they are successful and family oriented. But later their is a big disconnect between them saying they want a family/are family oriented and how they end up treating their wives, children and house (neglect, too busy, misogynistic, narcissist, lazy, clueless, too tired, never step up and grow into a true adult w a family). [/quote] I’ll do the same breakout for women, this is across all races, geos: - uneducated and under-employed group. (25%) -educated, work in pink collar jobs. Bin threatening to most men (20%) -educated looking for rich spouse via Greek life or OLD, may or may not work fulltime (nonprofits, trainer jobs, work for family) (10%) -educated, successful, family oriented and looking for the same (45%) [/quote]
