for me, it has nothing to do with the cultural condition of marriage and everything to do with the available pool of mates. I would love to have an equal partner in life, it’s pretty much the only thing I REALLY want anymore.
Most of the girls I’ve come to know sought a man who will ‘fix’ them or ‘take care of’, etc.. But, even the ones who said they were not looking for those things couldn’t handle life on their own. They’d hit a bump in the road of life and just fall apart or freak out in their own bizarre way. They all needed a man to prop them up and keep them going.
This includes women you would expect to be independent; the really smart ones, the tomboys, and even the crazy dominatrix types.
Why would anyone want a woman who would, in essence, be a burden?
It’s depressing, but what can any of us do but keep looking and hoping; but ultimately, not finding?
I can’t even say I’m alone in this, my office is full of great but very single guys. There is a grand total of 2 married men.
The men are fine, it’s the ladies that need some work.
