I must be living in the wrong part of the country. I go to the gym 6 times a week and I see some women, but about half are undatable and the other half are uninterested.
Men already know how to do everything.
There is a war going on... She should join the Army.
The article fails to mention that out of the men who do show up for these courses, 90 percent are probably gay.
This tendency is already true among teenage boys. I recently was asked to help select students based on merit for a special program that always looks good on transcripts and college applications. The pool of students were drawn from a small high school’s junior class. Only the top 18 students from the class of 60 or so were allowed to enter the selection process. Out of the 18, 12 were girls. They had the highest GPAs. They competed in the most sports. They had the most awards. They also worked the most hours at part time jobs. They were much more likely than the boys to have jobs at all in fact. The girls were also much more likely to have service of some kind for the community.
I looked into other things at the school, and at other schools to a lesser extent, and discovered this was common. The girls are working hard, while many of the boys are hardly working. When I asked some of the boys about this (both boys in and outside of the selection pool), I was surprised to hear them respond with such blunt comments as, “Well, the girls care about their grades. We don’t,” or, “The girls actually work at this stuff.”
Lionel Tiger was right. Read his THE DECLINE OF MALES if you want to know what I mean.
So for the last year or so I've been getting stoned and watching reruns of Star Trek: The Next Generation and let me tell you: the babes are NOT banging my door down."
Men are disappearing like the bees.
I just love it. Because men aren’t taking classes, there MUST be some kind of fault or deficiency in the men that they aren’t there.
There are just a lot of messed up men and women out there. If you’re over 40 and still in the dating scene, you’re most likely going to be getting someone with some amount of baggage.
I don’t know...it sounds to me that the area where most of this takes place is inhabited by the New Castrati...
Wine tasting...literary courses...cooking classes...music classes...
Not that there is anything wrong with those things, mind you...:)
Maybe it's you, Charlotte? Naaaaaaw, couldn't be...
When the class is 50/50, the women complain that the men dominate the conversation and demand classes where they won’t feel intimidated.
Just goes to show when you give women what they say they want, they’re still never happy.
They expect some chick-flick watching, wealthy sensitive hunk is just going to be hanging out unattached at wine-tasting classes and musuem tours. And if she ever finds one, he’s probably going to be gay.
>> Women who take classes wonder where all the men are
Doing the jobs women won’t do.
For men, try Alaska. (Prisons and China are also full of men.)
For good men, try church.
For single men, try college.
“running classes”? What man would pay money for that? What man would want to date a woman who pays money to take a running class?
May I suggest these women take up playing HALO and attend LAN parties.
Lots of men. Lots and lots of men. Lots of men who would walk on fire for a XX chromosome gamer.
Sign up for HVAC classes or automotive classes and you will find men.
Cooking class? wine tasting class? L0L
I went to the first meetings of two writing classes, not to meet chicks, or to learn writing, but to get some inspiration and perspiration, as in having assignments forced on me. In both instances the classes had the smell of old people, predominantly women. I didn’t go back.
Go to the local Republican caucus. Yeah, you’ll meet some old farts and what not, but you’ll also meet some real young and middle age men, full of fun and full of values.
I’m right here.
not that anybody cares.
Take the diving course, then go diving!
