Millennial and generation X men were brainwashed too. Here's a millennial man in his early 30s whining that he feels old and that every single woman his age has baggage and kids. Breaking news, bud: You are old. Prior generations were all married with kids by their 30s. Millennial men like this drifted their 20s away being immature man children handcuffed to jobs, sports, video games, porn, weed and craft beer. While their female peers wasted their fertility away or had out of wedlock babies.

In your 20s it’s not wealth that’s important but trajectory. I met my husband at 21. We were both broke but I could see he was going places.


This is the way. You have to bank on potential. If you wait until it’s realized it’s too late.


Many women don't want to support or struggle, they want instant lifestyle.

Propaganda has been telling women and teen girls since the 80s to date around, to be promiscuous, to be a fun party girl. College isn't to look for a husband, it's to have fun. Waste your 20s traveling, boozing, and shopping. Only backwards Bible thumpers look at high school and college as a place to date to marry and seek a life partner.

yes, instead, we should listen to misogynistic men who want us barefoot and pregnant, so that they don't have to compete with women in the workplace

Not happening, loser.

That article was lame. Or was it a Vlog interview turned into a transcript? Lame.

This^. There is a shortage of single, young, educated, employed and decent men. Ones who are available, they've plenty of educated, employed and decent women to choose from.


Yes, life is good for those of us in that cohort. Fun times and easy sex. There is no way I would sleep with any of the women in the WSJ article, let alone marry them. Too many better options.


I don’t have many options and I also wouldn’t date any of the wsj article women

Wsj just did a poor job picking profiles


Overweight. Mediocre careers. Kids from previous relationships with obvious bums.

Form a single file line, fellas. I’m sure the interest is overwhelming.


I thought the whole point was that these women weren't interested. Your lack of interest in them is secondary to their lack of interest in you.


Gotta love how fast one of these incels clapped back with some version of "Yeah, well, I wouldn't anyway because you're FAT!" Brother, you never stood a chance.


I recognize that incel no longer has any meaning beyond “man I don’t like” but I’m in a happy relationship with a woman those in the article couldn’t hold a candle to. It’s easy to see why they’re single.

Marriage for a highly paid woman is like signing up for a servitude contract without any guarantees of payback. She enters it while still young and desirable for her fertility. When she's over 40, husband can just dump her and divide everything. Men are only valuing women for their looks, fertility and sexuality. Why enter a union where you are only needed for the qualities that last just as much, only to get disposed with HUGE collateral damage to you and your children in 10-20 years?

Marriage is only attractive to women without a good earning capacity.

This.

The young women under 35 in my family and social circle are just doing other things that bring them joy and peace. They’re getting plenty of support for it from their parents, too. No one wants to see their daughter unhappy or unsafe.

Marriage is very hard to work within the context of two high-achieving partners. Much better for there to be some sort of release valve built into the relationship. The release valve could be as simple as both partners working chill, 40-hour jobs or pen staying home.

Then throw in the “cross cutting” issue. The men that the woman on your team would find attractive may not find her attractive (or, more accurately, those men she finds attractive may find they want her to SAHM later in the relationship which will be high destabilizing).

Men absolutely need to be better, but female standards could also be revisited. If everyone is chasing 6 foot tall surgeons that look like movie stars and are 50/50 equal Partners at home, well, the math just doesn’t work.

It's easy to get stuck in the trees on the journey. My marriage has its ups and downs, and there are many days when I think it'd be easy to do it alone, but then I spend time with our child and find my center. I wouldn't change a thing about our child.

This^. If you want a sugar daddy, marry someone older. If you want someone your age, you two have to work together to build a good life.

you do realize that many of these children you’re talking about will grow up to be men one day? Way to lay the groundwork for them having zero self-esteem and hating women right back.

Women don’t hate men, we just want to be treated as human beings. The bar for men is on the ground and many still trip over it.


I think for both genders, when they say “the bar is on the floor” , they mean “the bar is on the floor for those I already find attractive”
