The Apparent Man Shortage (Career Women Can't Get Dates)
The Hairy Beast - Come, Let’s Waste Your Precious Time! (Mongeaux) ^ | Thursday, September 28, 2006 | The Hairy Beast

Posted on 09/28/2006 2:20:16 PM PDT by Mongeaux

The Beast admits he has been out of the loop for a few years, so he was rather suprised to discover (in a recent perusal of The Intertron) that thirtyish professional women in major urban centers are complaining that there are no men. While he was dozing over the past half decade, thousands of smart, successful women started having a very hard time getting a date on Saturday night! The general gist of the complaint is that while these sharp and driven women set aside romance to develop their careers, their less careerist sisters and friends tagged and bagged the all good specimens and now the dating pool is swampy with leftovers and rejects: bitter, traumatized gun-shy divorcees, chronic unemployables, in-denial gays, narcissistic poon chasers and lunatics.

Apart from an initial crass and callous “you-snooze-you-lose” reaction (perhaps Femninists made too many promises that Biology could not keep?), The Beast was intrigued and decided to look into the problem from a male perspective.

Dunno. My wife was a 37 year old careerist when she nabbed me.
She was wondering why I was unmarried, then she discovered that I just totally clueless about women. She promptly got out the club, whacked me over the head, and dragged me home.
Been happily married ever since.

That story brings a tear to my eye. Doubtless she would describe it in somewhat more sentimental terms...? LOL!

Sounds like BEAUTIFUL/FITNESS MODEL/WRITER wants someone exactly like herself, but with a penis instead.

randog: Yes that thought had occured to me too. When a guy turns 34 and isn't dating he is regarded with suspicion. Everybody asks "What's wrong with him?".

When a woman turns 34 and isn't dating, everybody asks "what's wrong with the men around her?". The upshot is - the problem and the fault lies always with MEN.

Reductio ad masculinum

I seriously doubt Miss Beautiful Writer is really all that much of a prize. My guess would be that she's really not most of what she claims to be. Most likely she is bitter, angry, and chronically disappointed.

Maybe. But my intent was not to mock or jump to unwarranted conclusions. My intent was to do a typically superficial suface analysis of the situation to amuse readers and assuage my own bitterness.

You know, the usual!

You're right it was a silly and obvious comment.

And she sure does have a high opinion of her looks, too.

If she has a (careerist) sister, with a "soft" plastic club, send her my way... : ) <<< me

'Fraid not. In fact, all the women I know these days are married. Very strange.
