I don’t know about you, but if my friend tried to set me up with an illegal, I’d be calling the INS..

Regarding why men aren't looking to settle down, it's as my dear old Daddy used to say, "Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free?"

Your entire post took the words straight out of my mouth...or straight from my fingers, since I'm typing this on a keyboard.

It’s coming along very nicely.

Haven’t had to use the rolled up newspaper for a while now. ;-)

It’s not easy for young people to find a good husband or wife these days.

There are good folks out there, but they are becoming harder to find (and, in some cases, they are not as apparent as the folks you want to avoid).

The college scene is pretty bad. I would say, probably half the students here (and I'm at one of those East Coast schools) are hooking up regularly. I'm 22, so I am thinking about jumping in at some point, but I would rather find a wonderful girl who shares my beliefs, similar (or complementary) goals, is in my age range, and is kinda cute. Bonus points if she can shoot a gun capably.

If grabbing the best man I could find is marrying “Mr. Good Enough,” then I guess that’s what I did. Luckily I happened to hit the jackpot. Good looks, honor, integrity, faith in God, good humor, a large porfolio(LOL)—hubby has it all!

Growing old with one’s very best friend is a special thing. I’m so thankful to be married.

” the misogynistic and often outright crude behavior toward women (thanks to Bill Clinton for that); the endless partying; the endless games and sports; and so on. I don’t know how this has come to pass, but it sure is demoralizing to me in that I fear for our future.”

Oh Clinton cannot take all the blame.
You would be amazed at how much the young teenage boys are into internet porn these days.
Teenage boys are also heavy into “gaming” - they will ignore their school books and play video games for hours.
They have sleepovers where they all bring their gaming systems - form a connection, and have gaming tournaments.
They are on the internet playing violent fantasy games.

Some girls do it too - but it seems the young boys are more easily addicted to the gadgets.

The problem I’ve seen, is they don’t seem to outgrow this phase when they graduate high school.

I’ll run into a boy who graduated high school 5 yrs. ago and I’ll ask my daughter...”is he still a gamer? is he still addicted to internet porn”...the only ones who seem to snap out of it are the ones who go into the military.

They are in a perpetual state of childhood coupled with pornographic fantasies.
Is it any wonder they have a difficult time moving onto manhood?

I’ll be in GA by this weekend, LOL...

Ha ha ha ha....can we ping him....

[Hoodlum91]

Of course!

He’ll find me here eventually anyway.

[RockinRight]

I thought that was for the cats...

[RockinRight]

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.

Too bad you're married.

[RockinRight]

Too late.

"I thought that was for the cats..."

Guess you thought wrong.....smack

[longtermmemmory]

no fault divorce means (absent one of the minority community property states, and even that is fading) as long as you divoce quickly the consequences are aking to renting vs leasing.

[Centurion2000]

at this point in my life I’m looking for a 20 year old male with exessive stamina and endurance.

Koo-koo-kachou Mrs Robinson.

[Froufrou]

Good “point!”

[Centurion2000]

If a guy knows he can satisfy himself without any sort of commitment, then it will take some real lightning bolt to force that commitment; usually a pregnant girlfriend who refuses to have an abortion, expecting marriage, instead.

Or a sense of honor or morals perhaps.

Now, I look around at the 25 years old “men” around the city (Chicago) and I wonder at the immaturity on display. I refer to the ubiquitous baseball cap, often turned backward

THANK YOU for recognizing that immaturity on both sides has caused this dilemma.

And yeah, the backwards baseball cap is a real danger sign. :-)
