Explain children from southern India (one of the poorest places on earth) coming to the states and graduating medical school ahead of American students. American students who have lawyer and doctor parents.

I want to figure out how to gear the system back in the other direction, but that's a herculean mental effort, let alone making it a reality.

I think most of us agree that marriage has turned into a raw deal for guys, what we're saying is that this will have a terrible impact on society.

We aren't taking dalits in. We are taking the best of Indian and East Asian society to our (and their) betterment, but to the detriment of their home countries.

Indeed, agreed.

What a time to be alive. It's the Kali Yuga and no one ever told us.

Well we're likely not to see the brunt of it. Future generations? Probably not so lucky.

Many good points.
Matrimony is about giving oneself to the other. Between the 1960s revolution against any and all "authority" which bred the "me generation" leading up to the almost total narcissism of today, we are, as a society, eschewing every hint of the selflessness that is the essence of matrimony.
Certainly the feminist movement, the sexual revolution, contraception which tries (but will never completely) break the link between sex and child-bearing, economic forces, judicial favoritism, and government programs have their roles in the decline, as well.
Put paragraph 1 with paragraph 2 and here we are. IMO, YMMV.
New life is usually the gift for true, and total self-giving. We don't value life, other than our own satisfaction in our day and time.
It's sad to watch.

You know, at some point when we are old men, we won't be able to go out and troll for poon with ease. Maybe we'll have the money to attract golddigging whores, but who wants that? I don't want to become the dirty old man making love to his tonic and gin.

If I had a choice between a hot foreign girl or a hot America girl, I'd pick the foreign girl every time. They aren't worthless fat pieces of shite, and they are probably poor which means they will appreciate all the millions I will make.

What do you think?
I think this generation is in more debt, makes the least amount of money, and witnessed the previous generation hit nearly 60% divorce rates. Therefore, they aren't rushing into anything.
I was recently married at 28 years old, and had been with my SO for nearly 6 years before pulling the trigger.
No offense, but blaming reality TV seems a bit far-fetched. I have to think you're kidding.

This generation is also less religious and therefore more likely to co-habitate without shame.
Also nearly everyone I know with a post-grad degree is married.

Well, if she's a hot American girl, surely she's not a fat piece of shite.
