This thread isn't scary to those of you without kids because you don't really give a damn about what happens to the world after you're gone. You don't even really care if things fall apart while you're still around because The Walking Dead seems like it might be kind of fun for a single guy.

what?

how does settling for a false, subservient role in a relationship doomed to fail fit into that paradigm?

shite will fall apart as a critical mass of men stop caring about things outside of themselves.

see this is the issue. the pendulum has swung in such a manner that men have to care about all sorts of shite other than themselves. moving it back to normalcy is only painted as men being selfish by femininsts. you seem to be a fan of traditional values and roles, so this is kind of a shock to me.

I'll probably be married within the next 2 years (I'm under 24) because being around children brings me more joy than partying or banging sloots does. I want my own kids and I want to provide them with a stable home and a great mother. I have a wonderful GF who will be a wonderful mother and who doesn't do a lot of the crazy or annoying shite that most women do. I would rather that lifestyle than "sowing my wild oats" in a manner of speaking.

However, I attribute that to personal preference and luck. Nobody should be getting married who doesn't want to. Our society just needs to realize there is sacrifice that comes with marriage and it is supposed to be a selfless institution.

Having kids is awesome. I've got one that I was nervous about having before he arrived. Now that he's 2, I can't wait to have another.

"Older girls" (mid-20s forward) are hornier than younger girls IMO.

yeah well one of the sexes evolved to be this way while the other evolved to be the opposite

father time remains undefeated. women are not built to maintain alpha status after their early 30s. they suffer a dramatic decline and biological change that is a literal biological speed limit. men don't have such limits

This strikes me as very odd, especially if you are out of college and a young professional. If you are just looking to mess around then I understand. However, why would you want to date someone that is not a young professional like yourself? I need someone that is on the same level as where I am at. Give me the young independent professional that makes her own money, pays for ALL her own bills, and has a career over that crap any day.

What? Who said anything about settling for any of that? You don't have to. You have to convince a woman to be better than society encourages her to be. Or you can just find a Catholic girl who is already better.

Why do you care what feminists say? I don't think about it.

that's kind of the backbone of the issues in the OP. men are rejecting THAT expected role and choosing to pursue other options

we've spent 2 generations cultivating the "ray romano and tim taylor" husband roles, and now women expect that and men are rejecting it

quote:

they have pushed a norm that doesn't fit our biological evolution, causing a skyrocketing rate of divorce and marital drama

men are rejecting that societal meme, and you are seeing what is being discussed in this thread

women don't want to give (because it's seen as devolving), so they end up being single into their mid-30s complaining that they don't have a subservient, stupid male to dominate in a relationship, like jill taylor or debra romano.

All these OT "ballers" looking for these crazy expectations of getting a 20 year old at 40 is what I'm getting at.


It's not crazy at all. It obviously doesn't apply to you, but many women like older men. Older men tend to be more established and tend to be more confident, or at least give less of a frick what people think. Also, a lot of guys in their 20s these days (no one in this thread of course) tend to be d-bags. Don't know to open a car door, etc.

I'm no Casanova, but finding women in their late 20s that might be interested isn't a stretch at all.

I've been married. I won't do it again for all the reasons discussed in this thread. I do believe life is better when you have someone to share it with, and I'll stay with someone if I find the right person. But I'd rather be 50 and alone than 50 and miserable with the wrong person.

And if I'm "alone" at 50 I'll just chase sloots in their 30s instead of 20s.

Another plus of getting married at the age I'm planning. I'll still have enough youth and my then wife will be ramping up into her optimum horniness so we'll have a few years of shared prime.

or don't live alone

or can't afford niche social memes like foodie restaurants

women have been primed to expect that stuff.

thats what you think

Living with you S/O or getting married does not mean 24/7 sex even in your 20's and just wait till you have kids

This is a myth promoted by older women by the way. Older women are not hornier. They are just more desperate.

I can't imagine not having met my wife at LSU, albeit towards the end of my time there. Dating her and us moving to silicon valley really changed my life. Made me realize that working 12 hour days to work my way up wasn't for me, mainly because I already had a woman who I knew could make me happy for the rest of my life. Without her I would have grinded the frick out of my thirties, all to make money to get a woman that I wouldn't have any history with. Just didn't make sense. I married a partner, a friend...I didn't marry a mom or a financial advisor or a maid.

Get prepared to be told that you are wasting your potential, not truly happy, missing out on "real" life, not doing your part for the greater good of collective society, and all other manner of BS excuses used by patronizing guys to make themselves feel better about the fact that they are getting dragged to a 4 year old's birthday party on gameday.

ETA: seriously, someone already downvoted you for saying you're single and OK with that.
