I've seen unmarried, bitter women of a certain age like the one the picture with the article.
There’s a reason healthy skepticism is called healthy.
Accepting and adhering to whatever you’re told to do is risky even if it looks to be the safe, popular option.
Feminism at its core is an anti fertility cult.
John 8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Gloria Steinem and her feminist apparatchiks destroyed a lot of lives driving men and women apart. I feel most sad for Baby Boomer women who bought into her garbage. Bitter lonely emotionally bereft women.
Boomer men like myself looked abroad for more traditional relationships.
Duh.. And therein lies the reason so many guys have no desire to make a commitment: commit to whom— a competitor? Why would anyone do that?
OK stop the tape right there. Why in the Wide World of Sports does anyone need 4 college degrees?
Bump for Dennis. This lady speaks the truth but will anyone listen?
I like to think on quiet nights sometimes that...
The angry young incel males and the lonely middle aged feminist cat wives find each other when they are in their 40’s and 50’s. Then they have somebody to plan vacations with and take them to medical appointments.
For women...if you want a good man, get him in your 20s. Do not wait until your 30s. It will be MUCH harder. By your mid 30s your chances of ever getting married are vanishingly small. Nature gives you tremendous power from your teens through your late 20s. Use it wisely. Do not wait thinking you can defy the laws of biology and get the kind of man you’re going to be happy with after college and grad school and after establishing yourself in your career.
That could have been written by some of my college friends. :-[
She's right. Women in their 20s are indeed very cute.
I have close relatives who fit that profile to a T.
I could never discuss that directly with them.
It would be too humbling for them, and too intrusive for me.
So we keep it light banter. “Hi, enjoy ‘the holiday!’ Bye!’
Nothing any deeper than that.
Many men also deal with the aftermath of putting off starting a family while you’re still young. Put it off until it’s too late. I count my many blessings each day, but that (the consequences of not starting a family) is what I’m dealing with right now.

Listen to your family, friends and those your admire and take their counsel under advisement. And then follow your own instincts. Nobody knows you better than you.
There's a reason folks get together and partner, whether through conventional marriage or just living together. Most people want companionship. Whether it's through love or friendship, having a companion to share your life with is important to our mental health.
Never be afraid to switch careers or life paths along the way. This is not dress rehearsal. This is it. It's better to aim, shoot and then readjust your sights if you have to than it is to spend all your life aiming, aiming, aiming, aiming hoping to hit the bullseye but then never pull the trigger.
A boss years ago gave me some advice for my first sales job, selling mortgage loans. Do what you think is right. Don't let the fear of making a mistake hold you back. If you're not making mistakes, I'll know you're not doing anything.
I hope this lady can readjust her lifestyle and make a course correction. And find that companion she wants to take a vacation with. Being lonely is a sad thing for many people.
And I’m perfectly happy. I can go on international vacations whenever the fancy strikes me. My time is my own. I have friends with similar interests. While most of them are single and childless one close friend does have a couple of kids. It doesn’t keep us from interacting on a regular basis.
And yes, I have a cat. :-)
Marriage and kids aren’t for everyone.
Here’s the problem as I see it. We as men (I’m 58) have been raised with hearing these arguments and that women are equal. So you find a woman and things progress to marriage and then you start to hear from the woman that she need to stay home...
What happened to the equal thing? Now you want to put it all on my shoulders so you can sit around and do nothing all day and then when I get home order me about. You want vacations, then work to pay for it. You want a new car, then work to pay for it. I’m sorry but that’s how I’ve come to feel.
And if you start dating woman in her 40’s, then that is her secret plan, get married and then “retire” while you work the next 25 plus years...
There is a life cycle to being a woman and the happiest women are respectful if their lifecycles.
There have been many nights when I would have preferred to come home to my library, my pipe, and my woofer.
My heart goes out to this woman... she is in my prayers...
