I'd love to be married again one day, but it's hard to find a good woman these days. Also, dating in your early 30s is weird. You have females from 18 to in their 50s asking you out. I was picky when I was younger. Now, I'm super picky. I'd rather be alone than settle.

The only way to fix this issue is for women to stop having sex before marriage.

So true
While most dudes still look decent well into their middle ages. Estrogen is a hell of a drug

I would hope a man of "high value" would be smart enough to not marry a person just for looks
that is a big part of that comment when looking at marriage. if you really are trying to marry for life, you can't use looks
it also is more than just looks. looks is just the headline grabber. if you want kids, you have a 20 year window (18-38). if you start dating a chick who is 30 and hasn't had a kid, with a normal courtship you're looking at marriage by 33-34. that means you have FOUR years to have one kid. one miscarriage (which has a high risk-rate with that age and being her first) can push that to 36, which is starting the danger zone
this is also ignoring the whole "you don't even get to enjoy marriage b/c you're just trying to start a baby factory" angle

Not sure why you think he's preaching when he goes against your theory that men in their 30s have easy pickings of the women out there.

he has easy pickings. he is choosing to be super selective, which he is allowed to do

I would hope all these OT "high value" men start looking like brad Pitt with his wallet too, since they are so selective.
Men that complain about there being not enough good girls, maybe they should be introspective. There are shitty men and women.
Anybody can pick low hanging fruit, but don't pick the rotten ones and then complain about there not being any good ones. Same for women that say there are no good men out there, stop dating dbags

Of course he is allowed to but it still means his pickings are not easy. Not saying he should change his standards at all.

Men complain about not enough good women. Women complain about not enough good men. I think I see why so many are single.

One of my friends from high school has been married two years and has a one year old. We're 23. I couldn't even imagine.
Posted on 3/10/15 at 7:50 am to 337tigergirl
if everyone lowers their elitist expectations then everyone would be married and "happy"
Posted on 3/10/15 at 7:51 am to rocket31
I don't know why anyone would get married if they didn't want kids
If you don't want kids, don't get married
if you want kids, its probably best to get married
just my opinion

Exactly! People pick people that are bad for them and they get jaded.
A lot of the times you can definitely tell if someone is going to be bad for you, just read the signs.

No shite.
I didn't really want kids or actually knew how much I wanted some till I had one.

My problem is I'm shy. Aggressive females smell that like a shark with blood in the water. I've learned my lesson about those kind of women.

Elitist expectations for non-elite (not attractive, terrible personality, and probably difficult to get along with) people is a recipe for crazy cat/dog woman/man. Then they always say id rather be alone than settled down.. shite you already are miserable.. Lol. It depends on age as well. I def would not want to be 45 and single for either gender.

I find that people from smaller towns tend to want to get married right away, right out of high school.
And a very large percentage of those marriages are usually wedlock with a child already on the way.

also people need to understand that you have to work at marriage everyday. its not a one day we are married and we will be ok forever type thing. Its called a commitment for a reason! Nothing worthwhile is easy. Some people just dont have the "Chest" as a wise coach once said to stick it out through the tough times in marriage.

Truth.
Even regular relationships are hard and need to have both people willing to make it work.
I think the problem is that people that already have strained relationships sometimes believe that getting married will change things. It does not. Both people have to be willing to work on your relationship every day to make it work.
Then there's the people that just get married bc they have been together so long and it's the next logical step. I know some people that are cheaters or are miserable bc they decided to do that.
