They're fun and great for casual sex. Marrying one? I don't think so.

Of course not. A woman or a man who settles for casual sex isn't worth marrying. They tend to find each other.

I find it funny that every criticism one sex has toward the other goes both ways. It's become a vicious circle. One gets burned, blames all of it on all the members of the other sex, never takes responsibility for their own stupid choice or the ways they contributed to the downfall of the relationship (e.g. following hormones instead of good sense, for example) and therefore never learns how to avoid the losers.

Therefore, the losers keep ending up with losers who only want to play at the shallow end of the pool.

Don't look at me. I have four kids.

Please don't take it personally..
First, I was "venting"..
Secondly, I am bitter.. ;o)
Third, I am (probably) a bit of a mysoginist..
Certain events in my life have made me so..

Sadly, the women in my life have not given me cause to respect them, and I tend to generalize..

No problem.

I am sorry your life hasn't gone the way you wanted.

I hope you get your kids. : )

Ask Shaggy eel. Plenty of reason to be bitter at women.

,,, no, just one, for a while. I only have myself to blame for making a stupid choice and making it too early in my life.

Got the best of the best this time round - as you know.

God, it's so great to watch Dowd just implode in a public forum. Gosh, it's so hard to imagine why a guy would reject such a spiteful, bitter, bloodless corpse as Dowd.

So you use American women for 'casual sex'? To me, that is the number one cause of the downfall of this country.

Have you ever seen the hbo program "Sex and the City"? It depicts four “supposedly” successful single women essentially screwing their way through New York City. This show is wildly popular in the female 18-45 age demographic. These women are role models for young American women.

An even more popular show is "desperate housewives". It depicts women in many illicit sexual affairs.

Many young women nowadays under the age of 30 have already has 100+ plus sex partners

Given the popularity of these programs in the female demographic and promiscuity in the female population, I ask you who is really using who?

I am dissappointed to see you in this forum. I thought it was a upstanding moral place. I hope guys like you are rare in here. It's pretty obvious that American men are marrying less. So, your assumption is that women are marrying the same or more? Who's marrying them?

I suggest you get over your disappointment and desist with your personal attacks. You will find all types here on free republic. One of the most important qualifications to be here is the ability to debate the issues. You’ve flunked that one. I make no assumptions about who American women are marrying. The posted article is a lament from some supposedly successful American woman who can’t find a husband. My position is that American men are marrying less because it’s a sucker’s racket. American women initiate 70% of divorces. The courts are against men. Intelligent and successful men are avoiding marriage in greater numbers, especially in the 20-35 demographic. My position is also that there are women from other cultures who value marriage and family FAR above American women. The internet and cheap airfares make them much more accessible. They haven’t been indoctrinated with a lifetime of fem-nazism. They are highly desirable wives and mothers. American men are increasingly going overseas to find wives. I don’t blame them.

From what you write...I can see why you hate American women. They get to know you and run the other way. What you really hate is INDEPENDENT woman. I am guessing you have not married your foreign woman yet either?

I don’t hate American women. They’re fun and great for casual sex. Most of them have pursued me. I have yet to have one run away.

As for marrying an American women, no way. They divorce with great frequency, the courts are on their side and they have had a lifetime of fem-nazi indoctrination. The article bears out what I have known for a long time. The 46-year-old “successful” American woman is whining because she can’t find a husband. It’s not that she can’t find a husband, it’s that the men don’t want her. For whatever reason.

American men, especially in the 20-35 demographic are marrying less. It’s a sucker’s racket to marry an American woman, “independent” or not

My position is also that there are women from other cultures who value marriage and family FAR above American women. The internet and cheap airfares make them much more accessible. They haven’t been indoctrinated with a lifetime of fem-nazism. They are highly desirable wives and mothers. American men are increasingly going overseas to find wives. I don’t blame them.

We know that men like to be cosseted, and loved, and fed well. And if we do that, our men let us rule the roost.

That sounds way too much like David Bowie in Labyrinth: "just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."

If you have to cosset someone, you definitely do not rule the roost.

I know I often feel like my husband's personal secretary. I think his mom would tell him to do it himself.
