More than half (50.1%) of women in England and Wales born in 1990 were without a child when they turned 30 in 2020, the first generation to do so, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
That is almost three times higher than the lowest number of women ever to be child-free at 30 – 17.9% of those born in 1941.
At the same time the average number of children women have by the time they reach 30 has fallen to its lowest-ever level (0.96).[/quote]

Hook-up culture and shack-up female careerists are eliminating themselves from the gene pool. While women who prioritize monogamy, building a family, and having children in their 20s will have heritable traits that also incline their children to also prioritize families over consumerism, traveling, shopping, juggling boyfriends in your 20s. And the girl bosses will never admit they're wrong because misery loves company.[/quote]

This isn’t always the woman’s choice though. [b]Many women wanted real relationships but could only find men interested in sex. [/b]And then you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you put out, then you end up being “a shack-up female careerist.” If you don’t, if you tell every guy you are waiting for marriage/engagement/commitment, then you end up being a 30 year old virgin or very inexperienced and men lose patience with you or think it’s weird.

This. I would have LOVED to have a family early, but the guys my age just didn’t have their sh!t together. Out partying/drinking, working dead end jobs, trying to pick up other women, get high and play video games all day, live with 4 other guys and have gross posters of naked women everywhere, they ghost you after you sleep with them or they ghost you if you don’t sleep with them. And I sure as hell wasn’t going to marry a man 15 years older than me; while they may be more mature, I also didn’t want to spend my retirement taking care of a much older man.

The issue is that men nowadays just aren’t worth much. They aren’t getting into college, they aren’t getting good jobs, they think with their d!cks, they have no impulse control or ability to plan for the future. Women are surpassing them and no woman wants to marry a loser. Males need to step it up. [/quote]

^^ Nailed it. Men are spending too much time on video games & phones, are undereducated and living an extended adolescence. They're part of the problem.[/quote]
