The Mystery of the Missing Husbands
freebeacon ^ | SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 | Charles Fain Lehman

Posted on 09/10/2019 12:31:06 PM PDT by RomanSoldier19

A startling number of young women are unable to find a spouse, and new research from a group of economists suggests their would-be partners are just not up to snuff.

“I have brothers to carry on.”

But no sister? If so no mitochondrial progeny. Does your mother know your thoughts on this?

Lol, just think of all your ancestors up-the-line that are waiting to wallup the stuffing out of you in the afterlife because you were too busy to preserve their lineage. Everything they went through, all their efforts, their suffering and their triumphs wasted. All for naught because down the line was a singular descendant too self-absorbed to honor them.

“would-be partners are just not up to snuff”

That sentiment goes both ways.

Your poor husband.

He must be a saint to put up with your sour self and your mind constantly in the gutter.

You really have a chip on your shoulder, you know.

You don’t know the first thing about me, but I know enough to not keep wallowing in the mud with a pig.

Have a nice day, if you’re capable.

Those young men you passed on were raised by women in a feminist-cenitric culture.

I have a damn big chip on my shoulder when it comes to the double standards that some men try to dish out.

The trashiest mouth on this thread is yours, sweetheart.

Go find a mirror.

...who has multiple neuroses, who will make their lives fairly miserable...

That is the clincher, for me. Well, that, and a lack of honesty. I can overlook a lot of things, but living daily with a basket case holds no interest for me.

““hey maybe it’s me?”

Unfortunately not many-and the same is true of women-everyone in a city seems to belong to a self-help or support group-my guy gets separation anxiety if he spends more than 48 hrs out here in BFE at my place, away from his support group, and pouts because I won’t move to the city to be closer to him-well, duh! He’s been in more short-term marriages and shack-ups than I’d like, too...

If the young guys are into that stuff, I can see why young women aren’t thrilled-not to mention that they have not been taught how to relate to and get along with a man in a relationship. I’m not young, I’m experienced in pleasing my man in a long marriage-and I still find that stuff eye-rolling annoying...

I made it clear that I’m not a city person and that self help support groups are just places to affirm your ego and navel gaze-my professional opinion as a case manager. Sooner or later he needs to get real-I work and am friends with some real cowboys who don’t need to do any group mental masturbation-he calls them redneck and crude-I call them real guys. My guy has been around too many snowflakes and city dilettantes, obviously...

It sounds like this is not about you—but rather the men you are attracted to—they sound like jerks.

Whatever, honey.

Some men on FR doing nothing but blame women for their miserable lives.

Would you rather have someone who wants you to keep flying and will stay at home and take care of your kids?

(And I’m not trying to be nasty, it’s just a play on words I couldn’t resist.)

I once knew a girl in college, was a ‘feminist mormon’. We were both co-op students at a certain defense company in upstate NY. We had a nice time (sadly not that nice) and she went home to her feminist Mormon life on the west coast, and I went back to the Yoop to learn engineering.

Sometimes I wonder how that worked out for her and her sister wives...

The loss of one’s beloved spouse is the saddest thing. Sometimes the sadness seems like your only connection and you embrace the tears.

“Last two wanted me to quit flying, stay at home and have kids.”

Perhaps once married and happily divorced men such as myself have zero interest in being tied down to women who only want what is best for themselves.

Marriage is supposed to be a two way street. Due to arrogant know-it-all women, the pool that men have to choose from has shriveled down to a roadside puddle.

Why would I subject myself to marriage with today's “modern” woman? It makes little sense for several reasons, IMO.

You're no longer worth it. (not you personally)

Okay...I just have to ask....what is a Feminist Mormon?

My dad used to travel to Utah on business a lot and it sounded like they were all living the June Cleaver life.

Hi, SkyDancer-

Is it safe to assume (I know, I know!) you were upfront even on the first date?

1. I’ll sleep with you and I’ll travel with you and share expenses.
2. I’m in love with flying and nothing you can offer can top the thrill I feel in the air.
3. Children are not on my radar because no guy is on my radar worth giving up flying.

I would think if you did apprise potential dates of these three basic points you’d never have to break up with anyone for them being disappointed in you.

On the other hand, the Lord may just look at your reasons, smile/laugh to Himself and think, “I have a plan for you and you may just be surprised.”

Feminism has really ruined life for many women, not because of equality or opportunity reasons, but because the feminist mentality fosters the false attitude that men and are somehow intrinsically enemy oppressors of women whose whole purpose in life is keep women barefoot, pregnant and submissive to patriarchy.

It also discourages women from acting like or being a women and encourages them to be more like men, something many women are ill equipped to do.

Worst of all, it places an irrational premium on women valuing independence as the highest state of existence for women. For some women,independence becomes an obsession that interferes with or even precludes any chance of a meaningful relationship with a man.

Every life choice for feminist women involving a developing relationship with a guy seems to involve a false choice between surrendering independence in return for moving forward in the relationship or maintaining a ( often false) false sense of independence and stepping away from a relationship.

As these women get older, their focus on being independent increasingly equates with being alone and not just because guys mostly go for younger women. After becoming accustomed to being fully independent and alone many women find it difficult to be a couple with a member of the opposite sex regardless of the level of independence or dependence in the relationship.

Very sad.

Truth is, feminism was invented primarily by 1960s revolutionary radicals who were also man hating lesbians with a grievance mentality and chip on their shoulder to society has whole and not just towards men.

For these 1960s radicals, feminism was both a weapon to undermine the society they hated and wished to destroy and a way to alienate women from men to provide them better access to women for lesbian relationships

On the other hand, don’t be too hard on hypergamy.

Hypergamy is a double edged sword and the guys who benefit from hypergamy may have more options and opportunities which is nice, but the downside is that when guy high on the hypergamy scale gets rejected or dumped , he has the sure knowledge that it was because the woman really, really was not into him, or because he screwed up big time because she intentionally walked away from what, for all intents and purposes, was otherwise a pretty hot prospect.

No easy excuses to explain that one away, which really sucks

Just another form of "Cultural Marxism", that sets to divide one set of humans from another.

That sounds miserable. Doesn't have some buddies with whom to hang-out, drink beer, and work on cars? A lot of life's issues can be solved while replacing a head gasket, and taking a pull on a brew.
