That's hysterical. My older son is off to college after a 6 year hitch in the navy and his shyness overwhelms any libido he may have so he doesn't date. That would never have worked for me, hence the 8 kids. My other son only cares about video games. He works two food jobs and plays video games.
One son is married and the 18 and 15 year old are chick magnets. They will definitely end up with all the fun that marriage brings.
I know some men in the same position; it really is a leap of faith, and I guess it is hard to find the right woman.
I think they start realizing it when men (as in my case) start “working like girls”. It disgusts me that being 59% of college classes is acceptable, but somehow a line will be crossed if women are 60% of college classes. As with blacks, they do these women no favors with social promotion (in school or the workplace); they end up frustrated and feeling far behind the qualified people in the room. In my experience, some are completely content to play the ditzy child; they are laughing all the way to the bank (and enjoying the so-called protection of anti-discrimination laws).
I’m a 37 year old man and I simply haven’t found anyone with whom there is enough mutual values, interests, and attraction. I would marry, but in the world we live in I’m not going to start a family with whomever for its own sake. The single, childless women 30-37 that I know are career types holding out for Mr. Perfect with their checklist out. Good luck with that...
Amen.
The American family began its unraveling with the dawn of NO-FAULT divorce...easy, split 50-50, no blame, no shame and that's all she wrote.
It’s also too easy for incompatible people to marry who shouldn’t be doing so in the first place.
I haven’t given up. The strategy is to let this thing collapse and then in the chaos seize control over all the territory we can while removing from ourselves all Democratic voters and their offspring. So, you see, worse is better. The worse it is, the closer we are to collapse, and so the better like it.
On my first deployment (1985) my fiancée told me that she was pregnant. I didn’t know until I got back that she wasn’t pregnant by me.
Your comment resonated with me.
I have three adult children—one married, one to be married soon and one single.
All three have made the comment to my wife and to me that we are the exception among their friends.
We have been married over 39 years.
Come to think of it, we had the house that all the kids came over and spent time at. My kids told us that was because we were “normal”.
Sobering thought, indeed.
I asked my teen daughter last night “Mom and I’s anniversy is the 28th this month - right?”
“Yes Dad.” as she rolled her eyes.
“Let’s see - it’s, um, our 27th! That’s pretty good!”
“Dad - 5 years is good nowadays.”
“Yeah, I suppose. I’m surprised she’s put up with me for this long.”
Further talk (she’s heard it before!) about how marriage is hard but full-filling, etc.

AND contraception.
Good for you for reinforcing what is important.
These conversations are what your daughter will remember when you no longer are around.
Younger women (22-26) have grown up with these pussified, low-T manlets and are VERY responsive to any displays of masculinity. They don't really care about age anymore. I'm getting more women in their twenties now than I ever did when I was in my twenties.
AND contraception.
Especially ARTIFICIAL birth control, the kind the Church objected to.
THAT'S for sure.
Divorce is just too easy and if they are anywhere NEAR Nevada they can get the super-duper quickie divorce and remarry before the ink is dry on their divorce papers.
I always learned that marriages will be easier less difficult if both spouses speak the same language, and are from the same general culture, socio-economic group and faith. They SHOULD discuss, BEFORE marriage, what their ideas of family, children, faith, etc., are.
End welfare and contraceptives. Criminalize abortion. End no-fault divorce. End the EPA and HUD and end Federal participation in education and medicine and insurance. The family and a healthy birth rate will return and there will be a good start on retiring the national debt.
