It has always been assumed that women want a husband and children. THis is inspite of progress made by feminists since the 1960's we always assumed deep down inside women wanted a man and children.
But I had an interesting observation watching younger men try to date younger women. Women may say on some level they inevitably do want a husband and children, but their actions indicate otherwise. Matter of fact, their actions indicate the last thing on their minds are husbands and children, and while many of you are saying they're riding the "cock-carousel," I think it is their careers and education that is keeping them away. Not that they're obliged to it or that they cannot leave or postpone these things, but they've been successfully conditioned to put those things first in their lives, and in most cases have said things be the ONLY thing in their lives that matter.
This has ramifications for young men who are looking to get married and start families. Namely, one of not wasting what little time you have on this planet chasing something that may not be feasible or possible. I expand into this in much greater detail in a except from The Clarey Podcast below:
Cappy,
ReplyDeleteYou have a point here. However, they often get "baby rabies" in their mid 30's.
A 20-year-old man can realistically date women from 17-20. But a 20-year-old woman can date men from 20-28. So young men face a demographic disadvantage against older, richer competition. In this market, young women have no need to lock down a boyfriend.

It has always been this way. The Atlantic magazine had a similar article around 1960.
Young women are outperforming men in college, and often starting better jobs. They get convenient booty calls while looking forward to a decade of free drinks and finding an alpha. So, many young women prefer to put energy into school and careers. Who can blame them? It is WGTOW, except they have a backup pipeline of thirsty suitors.
Lot's of women want to get married and have children. They just don't want to get married and have children with you.

After my divorce I dated and found career-obsessed woman after career-obsessed woman. Not one was interested in family, children, a quiet domestic life, etc. NOT. ONE.
ReplyDeleteI ended up hopping on a "Mail Order Bride" website thinking "Seriously, what's going to happen?"
Over a decade later, still married, two beautiful kids...
"Most women don't want marriage or kids"
ReplyDeleteThat is what the Truth is -- at least until these same Western females reach their upper twenties to their early thirties. Then the 'baby rabies' hits, and these same females (who are usually by then unfit to be wives and too old to be healthy, responsible mothers) go out of their minds looking for a Chad Thundercock who's also interested in marriage.
But we've been beating THAT dead horse for nearly two decades, so there's not really any sense in going down that road anymore.
As Terrance Popp says: "it is what it is"
ReplyDelete"Lot's of women want to get married and have children. They just don't want to get married and have children with you."
ReplyDeleteBitter much?
Stay over at the HuffPo where you belong.
They have been taught by those that support them that they can have the cake and eat it too. And they have done it ALL many times. By their late 20's the baby rabies take hold and heaven forbid another person get in the way of her plan. What they weren't told back in the day is that their actions carry consequences that also mean that they are most likely to be lonely in their rage and fat from too much cake. real men like curves but those are rolls not curves.
ReplyDeleteAh the Behavioral sink theory at work. Once again enjoy the decline.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point, but some people should not have kids even if they want to because some are unfit to be parents.
ReplyDeleteNitzakhon has the solution ...... look for a wife from another culture.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is from the Philippines. She enjoys being a wife, and hopes that someday our two sons find good wives to marry.
If they do marry, we hope it is to women from the Philippines, not the USA. (Yes, there are good women here in the USA, but the odds of finding them are not in your favor.)
If the left thinks they're living in a too-Christian theocracy now, wait until two generations have gone by and statistically only the religious are having kids. Of course, they won't be here to appreciate ACTUAL theocracies.
