Sadly, there is much truth in your post. I’ve been married to the same woman for over 30 years and decided if anything happens to the missus, I will officially retire from the War of the Sexes.
Clearly, the rules have fundamentally changed since I was “on the market” back in the 70s and early 80s. The entitlement culture is stunning; one reason that many younger women prefer older men is they can provide the lifestyle they’re looking for—and are less likely to want kids. And better yet, that Sugar Daddy who’s 20-25 years older is likely to take that celestial dirt nap when they’re young enough to inherit the estate (or a good chunk of it), and still young enough to find that next bank account with lots of zeros behind it.
And that’s just for starters. God help any man who tries to build a relationship with a latter-day feminist. At the other end of the spectrum, good luck in the hook up culture. There’s a reason the highest STD rate in the state of Florida is at The Villages retirement community.
It’s also true that many younger and men in early middle age have simply stopped looking. They can’t meet the financial “requirements” of the women they want to date and living in their parents’ basement, their prospects for getting ahead are decidedly dim (should have thought twice about that degree in cultural studies versus something with actual market and employment value).
So, a lot of men simply turn to porn on their mobile devices, and look for ways to stay out of the job market—and the dating scene. If they can’t move in permanently with mom and dad, they file for an SSI check and other welfare benefits. It’s no secret that the ranks of the nation’s disabled swelled dramatically under Zero, and many of those were able-bodied men.
Meanwhile, the birth rate in immigrant communities is far above GDP, and that means our future middle class will be largely Hispanic and Muslim, so the America of 2040-2050 will look a lot like British cities of today.
My plans for a retirement mountain top in the Ozarks or the Smoky Mountains is looking better and better all the time.
Watch out for Nashville-Istan
