Actually you can blame the Boomer generation for how they raised their kids. (If you raised your kid to be responsible, respectful and motivated this doesn’t apply to you)

It’s not easy for young people to find a good husband or wife these days. The culture is against it, especially in the coastal states.

The counterculture warriors and intellectual sophisticates have brought it on themselves, but a lot of good people are caught up in the mess, too.

Thx for the pingy...I think this one deserves the ‘Whiny Guy’ photo though.

Well, I might as well jump in with my $0.02....

Speaking solely for myself, I'm glad that I found Ms. Right. Mrs WBill is a wonderful woman, and I'm glad that we're together.

Most of her friends meet this article to a T. They're unmarried and still looking for Mr. Perfect. "No men are interested, what's wrong with all of them?" is a common complaint. Unfortunately, they're too narcissistic to see the irony in their comments.

There's one girl who chases skinny young rock and roll singers. Unfortunately, there aren't too many young rock stars who like women that are 150 lbs overweight and are nearly old enough to be their mothers. I'm not saying that the right man for her does not exist....they're just rare birds to find.

There's several other women that refuse to change...All of their friends are gay men. All of their social events center around gay culture. Again - I'm not saying that there are no single straight men that enjoy going to Drag Queen Bingo every Friday Night and dancing at the Gay Club on Saturdays....they're just rare birds to find.

I suppose that it's easy for me to judge their faults from afar and say "Well, just change". But it's sooooo painfully obvious that I'm not sure if anything else would work. Fortunately, I'm a "Republican" - although, I'm one of the "good ones" - so my opinon wouldn't matter a whit to any of them, anyway.

I just hope I can “BE” good enough in life. :~)

There is nothing more unattractive to me than people of either gender that sit around and bitch and moan about the opposite sex.

One point about dancing in gay clubs,

If you want to dance until you drop with friends (and yes, women like dancing with each other) it’s the way to go.

You should see my almost 40 year old boss. He is married with child and is ready for his next frat party. He spends weekends at bars and strip clubs and lusts for this child’s “nanny”.

Re: dancing in gay clubs....sure, you're absolutely right. And, you don't need to worry about getting trolled by every guy in the bar.

But, if you're a girl looking for male companionship, it ain't the place to find it. :-)

He's a young man in his 20s, refusing to grow up, with access to ATMs for instant money to spend on himself. You typically find him in the pages of Maxim magazine with movie heroes such as Ben Stiller, Jim Carey and Will Ferrell, indulging in grossed-out adolescent "Animal House" humor. He's uncultured, uncouth and unkempt, preferring beer to fine wine, skateboards to sports cars and teenage toys to higher status symbols of maturity.

I guess it depends on where you look.
I see plenty of young men this age in my church that do not meet these criteria.

You’re right—— I was getting all literal and nerdy on the topic :)

Nothing spells "loser" better than your description above.

“Actually you can blame the Boomer generation for how they raised their kids. (If you raised your kid to be responsible, respectful and motivated this doesn’t apply to you)”

I agree. The Boomer generation, of which I am in the middle, has not done a good job compared to their parents. Peter-Pan narcissism is rampant, secondary to the self-esteem school of thought that arose subsequent to the 1960s and ‘70s.
