Fewer young men in the US want to get married than ever, while the desire for marriage is rising among young women, according to the Pew Research Center.
Pew recently found that the number of women 18-34 saying that having a successful marriage is one of the most important things rose from 28 percent to 37 percent since 1997. The number of young adult men saying the same thing dropped from 35 percent to 29 percent in the same time.
Pew’s findings have caught the attention of one US writer who maintains that feminism, deeply entrenched in every segment of the culture, has created an environment in which young men find it more beneficial to simply opt out of couple-dom entirely.
Suzanne Venker’s article, “The War on Men,” which appeared on the website of Fox News in late November, has become a lodestone for feminist writers who have attacked her position that the institution of marriage is threatened, not enhanced, by the supposed gains of the feminist movement over the last 50 years.
“Where have all the good (meaning marriageable) men gone?” is a question much talked about lately in the secular media, Venker says, but her answer, backed up by statistics, is not to the liking of mainstream commentators influenced by feminism.
She points out that for the first time in US history, the number of women in the workforce has surpassed the number of men, while more women than men are acquiring university degrees.
“The problem? This new phenomenon has changed the dance between men and women,” Venker wrote. With feminism pushing them out of their traditional role of breadwinner, protector and provider – and divorce laws increasingly creating a dangerously precarious financial prospect for the men cut loose from marriage – men are simply no longer finding

Even in Alaska nowadays it's hard to find females willing to bathe in rainwater filled metal drums......especially for the 7 months the drums are frozen solid. LOL!
LOL...funny. There is truth in it too. Guys with an income take financial whallop in a divorce. Not to mention all the drama of when and how long they can see their kids and the games around that.
Don’t forget about knowing where everything is, or at least what pile it’s in lol! :)
If I wasn’t supposed to be single someone would have married me. So, I’m laying in the sun on a sailboat being a slacker until future notice.

“two out of three, too bad about the balding though.
what if i wear a hat?”
Women ‘in-the-know’ are aware of the great advantage to baldness and will gravitate toward you.
When a man with a gull head of hair teasesme about my bald head, this is my response: “You’re just jealous because you know that my body makes a lot more testosterone than yours does!” That usually shuts them up.
When women tease me about being bald I then clue them in to the above. They turn 48 shades of red then smile with a gleam in their eyes.
The Husband Store
________________________________________
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City , where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor,
but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs
She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
‘That’s nice,’ she thinks, ‘but I want more.’
So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
‘Wow,’ she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.
‘Oh, mercy me!’ she exclaims, ‘I can hardly stand it!’
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.
Why buy the cow, indeed... and the corollary of that for women.... Why take the pig when all you want is a little sausage?
“Due to my conservative values, I’m obviously much more inclined to exclusivity, but the dating scene is quite abysmal for conservatives. I have no desire to date a girl who voted for Obama or holds liberal or feminist viewpoints, so that eliminates a strong majority of young females.”
What? You don’t want to date and marry a girl like this one:

You may be a little young to get this joke but the song is from Mel Brooks’ “Blazing Saddles”.
*Sigh.* Worried for my boys, now. I told my daughter, BTW, that rural electrification did more to liberate women than any laws on the books. Once upon a time we women were given a fabulous gift — getting more done in less time with less exhaustion — and look how we squandered it.
That and, our country needs revival. I say that after listening to the trials and tribulations of my 20-something co-workers.

I concur with most of what you have written. I married a bit later in life and I can attest that I could never, ever seriously date a leftist woman. Have met a few good looking ones, but oh, my, gosh. I cannot see how that would ever work.
I encourage both of you to individually and together seek the will of God. Jeremiah 33:3 promises that if you do this God will respond to you.
Bingo. Not worth it.
No, this thread is a response to all the MISANDRY going on in society today. Real men are frown upon in exchange for feminist ideals. Real men say tough feces, just give me my milk and then go and read your Steinem with the other cows.
I don't expect I'd find many wimmen folk that would appreciate it, though. ;)

LOL! Good one.
Why are they there:)
