BWAHAHA!!!
These "amazing, gorgeous" women be STUPID! Didn't their mommies and daddies tell them anything about life? Did they even know anything about life?
Men don't judge women on their careers and education and the money they make (unless they're male gold-diggers, which is coming). Men judge women on being attractive to them, if they are pleasant and funny and can play, if they appreciate men for what they have done and still do, if they can at least cook something! Even a sammich would be good enough!
These women just don't get it. They're not attractive. And with the economy this bad and Affirmative Action meaning "White Men Need Not Apply," there is going to be even less of these "acceptable" guys.
I wonder what these women would think if some guy told them truth: "Ambitious professional women are not attractive to men. For that matter, you are not 'strong and independent' since men created everything in the world, which makes you 100% dependent on them. And another thing: a lot of women aren't very rational and lack abstract thought."
These women are shallow.
As for the men they think should just appear, Prince Charming-wise, are they talking about engineers and computer geeks? Or doctors and lawyers and investment bankers? Good luck with that, morons!
By the way, what do these women have to offer? This? (It's the woman who wrote this article).
This article is from Forbes and was written by Larissa Faw.
"My Millennial-aged girl friends and I never doubted that we would accomplish all of our life goals. Everything, thus far, has pretty much gone according to our plans. We were accepted into the right college, landed the dream job, and developed a network of amazing friends. Our apartments are beautifully decorated and we have closets full of stylish clothing. Romance hasn’t been entirely sidelined, but we don’t waste our time trying to cultivate a relationship unless someone is really amazing.
"But now, a growing number of Millennial women are beginning to fret over the unanticipated consequences of prioritizing our careers before love. And I only need to look at my group of friends to see this reality. Again and again, year after year, my successful, gorgeous, and amazing friends remain kiss-less on New Year’s Eve. And on Valentine’s Day. And on the 4th of July. The only dateable men we encounter are either attached, gay, or otherwise involved in 'it’s complicated' situations. We are coming to the realization that we were unwittingly playing a game of musical chairs — while everyone was pairing up, those focused on our careers are left standing alone.
"And we can’t figure out what is happening.
“'I don’t think the issue is that men used to be great and now they’re not,' says Jezebel’s Katie J.M. Baker. 'Women used to feel more pressure to get married and have kids earlier, and prioritize those goals above the others.' Add to that women’s ability now to be self-sufficient financially and supported socially by so many friends in the same boat, it shouldn’t be that surprising so many Millennial women are single. Except to us singletons, it isn’t supposed to be this way.
"When it comes to romance, Millennial women are typically described using several broad strokes that don’t reflect nuance or contradictions. We are the hook-up generation. We are afraid of commitment. We are ball-busters or fairy-tale dreamers. Each cliché may have elements of truth, but the fuller story is a result of several influencing and interconnected factors.
"For one, it’s not as if we are holding out for Jake Gyllenhaal, but we do have certain non-negotiable expectations for potential mates that include college degrees and white-collar jobs. Life has always gone according to our plans, so why wouldn’t we land a man with these (reasonable) requirements?
"This unwillingness to settle for less than we think we deserve is joined by a lax attitude towards searching for potential mates. We’re busy dominating the world. We don’t have time to hang out at bars. While some of us explore online dating or take a more proactive approach, the majority of Millennial women have long assumed we would meet Prince Charming via friends, or through their own social circles. 'Why should we waste our precious time and energy unless we meet someone we really connect with and care about?' asks Baker. 'I think it’s great that Millennial women are picky and don’t feel as much pressure to be in monogamous relationships as did previous generations. I do think all Millennials, not just women, are used to the idea of being able to ‘curate’ experiences — that’s why so many people are into online dating, because you can pick and choose character traits — and that makes people wary about settling down, especially when, in a city like New York, there are so many options.'
"Unfortunately these assumptions bump up against the growing inequality between the two genders. Millennial women have taken it for granted that they will pair up with equal partners. But increasingly, there aren’t enough of these men to go around. Women now outnumber men on college campuses, and single, childless women out earn their male counterparts. In fact, as author Liza Mundy writes in her book, The Richer Sex, Millennial women are increasingly finding two options when it comes to romance: marry down or don’t marry. 'There needs to be a cognitive behavior change in what are [considered] important traits,' says Mundy. 'I talk to so many women who are obsessed with finding men on their level. They want someone as ambitious, engaged, and high-achieving as they are. They maybe need to rethink that to seek a partner who is supportive, rather than competitive.'
"According to Meg Jay, Ph.D., a psychologist and author of The Defining Decade: Why your twenties matter--and how to make the most of them now, many 20-somethings believe they have all time in the world and how they spend their 20s doesn't matter. But Jay says they matter most. The foundation you build in your 20s will define the rest of your life. Take yourself seriously, she urges.
"Or, accomplished women hold firm in searching for impressive men to help them feel they are getting anything out of the partnership. 'They have this list of qualities (smart, has a job, knows something about culture or the world, etc) that seem pretty reasonable, but so few men meet the requirements,' says Melanie Shreffler, a marketing consultant on Millennial culture. 'Going back centuries, it was just a contract between two parties. Love and even friendship or liking each other weren’t important. If you were lucky, they developed over time. But now, we think we can find a guy who will be our best friend, our other half, who we will love before we marry. Finding that in a guy that we also find attractive makes the probability of finding a 'good match' even less.'
"Plus, many Millennial women are in the uncertain 'grey' age range where we aren’t sure if we need to start stressing out over our single status and lower our standards. Or whether we simply need to remain patient that the right man will come along.
"There is also an odd paradox in that Millennial women can be outright ambitious in their professional lives, but the same approach towards dating conveys desperation. '[Marriage] is a worthy goal,' say Mundy. 'It’s strange that it’s stigmatized. When women work as explicitly hard to find romance and they do for their careers, they are seen as man-hungry. It’s a shame since studies show that marriage makes one healthier and happier. There’s no shame in wanting a great life.'
"At the very least, Millennial women can always turn to those in relationships for helpful dating solutions. “If your utmost priority is to find a mate, maybe you should think about the qualities that are most important to you and keep that in mind when writing people off,' says Baker. 'But I don’t want that to come off as me encouraging women to ‘settle’ — because I’d personally rather be single than in a relationship with someone who isn’t worth it.'
"And there’s always the popular suggestion to move to another state with a more favorable male-female ratio. It worked for my sister who found her boyfriend in Alaska."

I have absolutely no sympathy for these broads. They brought this on themselves. It shows that these women have very little understanding of cause and effect.I saw a movie once where towards the end of the movie the lead actress got a young girl to make a promise to herself that she will not get married until 30!! The indocrination and pedestalization starts at kindergarden for the young girls these days while the boys are left twisting in the wind...
The party's close to over. Circumstances are a hairs breadth away from going to total and complete hell and when it happens these worthless broads are going to find out just how worthless both they and their "jobs" have been. They won't have choices anymore because the situation simply isn't going to allow them. Their gorgeous wardrobes will be meaningless because an Imelda Marcos-like collection of high heels is going to be a liability and not an asset. We're rat's-ass close to a boots and tennis shoe world and old, dried up hags haven't got anything to barter when far younger, reproductively viable females are lining up for food and protection. It's get with a resurrected Anglo patriarchy as an old maid or suffer under Sharia Law, one of the two.
Bob asks what these women would think if told the truth. If most of the culture told the truth (or maybe just several important men in their lives), they would get hip and do better. It ain't like that, though.
One problem is that women only really listen to other women. Getting a husband requires stepping out of the hen circle. Are these allegedly aggressive professionals brave enough to do that? No, they are not.
I wonder how many of these women voted for the hopey/changey baboon for president? Or how many would or could vote for the unaccomplished dope Wendy Davis here in TX? I wonder how many can't get the connection that excessive taxation provides no incentive for men to 'make more'. I was thinking about a job change that even if it paid $20k more than now, it did not amount to much money by the time I factored in the higher tax bracket, moving and other hassles.
Some of this was being said 20 years ago. If anything, the current generation of young women is less promiscuous than the Baby Boom and Generation X women were. The man reason these women are having a hard time finding suitable husbands is a separate issue Uncle Bob has correctly pointed out, that the high-paying jobs are dissapearing, either going overseas or being automated.
“If your utmost priority is to find a mate, maybe you should think about the qualities that are most important to you and keep that in mind when writing people off,' says Baker."
No, if your utmost priority is to find a mate, you should think about the qualities that are most important to the kind of man you seek.
These women have a Zen level of cluelessness.
As a Gen X male, I have had to deal with the negative elements of 2nd wave feminism in academia, the workplace and in the social sphere. One of the reasons I choose not to date or even socialise with women, is the fact that feminism via the school/academic system has brainwashed at least 3 generations of females that are not worth the effort to interact with as the outcomes are more likely to be negative in the long term. Even if you get to sexually interact with them, the fallout is not worth it, the mind games, the constant walking on eggshells, having to use Politically Correct speech all the time. Feminism has already destroyed western society. Might as well throw a steak on the BBQ and open a cold beer and watch these women grow old, ugly and bitter and laugh at their collective insanity
You forgot the cats or the big scary dogs to protect them from imaginary rapists.
I've found it very ironic that Western women have so pursued 'feminism' to the exclusion of everything that makes them 'feminine', that they have actually made themselves too toxic for relationships of any kind.
The typical intelligent and aware man (who has outgrown the 'hormone haze' of youth) soon discovers that the more that he interacts with feminism-influenced Western women, the less and less he wants to be around them.
There was no such thing as MGTOW before there was feminism, or on such a scale (and it is said to be still increasing). I am convinced that this is not a coincidence.
That stringy hair and burned-out gaze signals lots of psychiatric meds.
Stringy-haired bleach-blonde...looks a little greasy, too.
Yet another 4/10 Post Wall hag looking for Prince Charming.
