Ask Dr. Helen: Single Men in Never-Neverland

I am a 21 year old male, definitely not married, though I want to be.

To be perfectly honest, the number of women who would make good wives – who are compatible in terms of their interests, their intelligence, etc., and who also doesn’t have a personality that might make them do bad things – be unfaithful, irrationally demanding, etc., is very low.

If you want to ask who is actually being in a land of immaturity these days, I would say to look at women. They are not taught to think rationally, to tackle problems forthright, to discuss things like adults.

Instead I see lots of “women” who float through life in a semi-conscious haze, who think avoiding thinking about their problems will make them go away, and who are incredibly passive-aggressive in their dealings with other humans.

I’m content to wait. The right girl will come along some time.
