8 reasons why New York women can’t get a husband
New York Post ^ | March 12, 2014 | Jane Ridley

Posted on 03/13/2014 10:30:55 AM PDT by george76

Last year, Susan Patton, a Princeton grad and the mother of two sons at the elite college, outraged feminists when she wrote an open letter to the Daily Princetonian telling female students to find a husband on campus before they graduate.

The red alert — which argued that these Ivy League college girls “would never again be surrounded by this concentration of men who would be worthy of you” — went viral with more than 100 million hits.

...

even in the dog-eat-dog dating jungle that is New York, there is hope for single career women between the ages of 22 and 35 (yes, that’s her cutoff) who also want marriage and babies.

“These women are spinsters-in-training, but they can turn it around

Guys should just be single then wait until they are 35 and find someone younger unless you can be sure that she is a good catch.

Seriously, dont let women think they are made of gold, and that you cant live without them. Make them desperate for once and maybe they will get some sense. Enjoy your money and freedom while you are young. Age favors men.

I agree there; I wonder how many of these women having problems finding nice men are the ones with almost as many lovers as Lindsay Lohan.

I will give them a reason. See me? No? That’s why. I LIVed and worked in NYC for years and never received a glance from one of these “girls.” I was too ugly, too short, too bald, too Jewish, too hairy, not the best dresser, dont have a 6 figure income. Even though I could carry on an intelligent conversation, you “girls” were looking for George Clooney.

Well, I was not Clooney. I met a pretty girl in a bar, and while she had no interest in me, I kept her engaged long enough to get her number and get a date. She outright told me she was humoring me and we probably wouldn’t get past drinks.

That was 25 years and two children ago.

Want some advice? Stop being superficial.

Oh I didn’t mean to imply you were a feminist

Quite the opposite

You are a real woman who wants a real things out of men in return

I wish men would stop the superficiality. I have a beautiful overweight daughter who would probably be any man’s dreamboat wife, she is intelligent, attractive, funny, devoted, kind and beautiful both inside and out.

American men don’t give her a second glance.

Why?

1. They are too ugly
2. They are too pushy
3. They don’t know when to shut up
4. They are feminists
5. They don’t know how to treat a man
6. They don’t have social skills
7. They have that New York nasle twang
8. It’s just too complicated in NYC

My experiences with women from NooYawk lead me to conclude at least these four reasons may be to blame:

1. The shrill, whiny, nasally voices.
2. High maintenance costs.
3. They never shut up.
4. Too many think Maureen Dowd is the greatest writer ever published.

“Wow, I am sure Boston is similar.”

Reminds me of the scene in the movie Ted — Couldn’t watch the whole movie...but I did see this scene:

Ted: Look, all I’m sayin’ is that Boston women are, on the whole, a paler, uglier sort than women from the else where’s of life.

John Bennett: They’re not that bad.

Ted: See, the fact that you have to say; ‘they’re not that bad’, means that they are that bad.

New York City (Manhattan or Brooklyn) is not a normal place. Its like a giant university campus. Driven and motivated people go there for a period, are focused nearly totally on themselves, live in tiny, expensive boxes, are surrounded by brain-dead leftists and their ideas and lifestyles, and expect to leave eventually after gaining something (a career, money, whatever)

You don’t go there to meet normal, well-adjusted people with whom you can expect to spend the rest of your life.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, all is forgiven!

If men didn’t sleep around so much, they wouldn’t be so bitter and so reactive about dealing with ‘headcases’ that they hook up with all the time and I am certain that they are as much part of the problem.

I frankly do think that men need reasons (like for example Jodi Arias) to understand the reasons that abstinence is best. To be honest, I believe that men really need to get the real nature of women pounded into their heads and also start showing more respect for themselves.

It’s not the fault of women that men are the ones hitting on women (except in the case of lesbians), or that women have sex with them, or that women want to bond with them beyond sex. It’s not right that men complain about no decent women when there are plenty of men out there wasting their twenties with the very women they complain about.

Just don’t take it out on someone who had nothing to do with your problems.

Seems to me a self-respecting guy would prefer a woman from “flyover country” over some cranky, liberal, hive-dwelling city b!tch.
