“WHY ARE SO MANY PROFESSIONAL MILLENNIAL WOMEN UNABLE TO FIND DATEABLE MEN?”

Having had the misfortune of teaching the group just a bit older than the millennials, I’m not surprised.  Frankly, dealing with them was a nightmare.

Most of them behaved like they were special princess snowflakes.  The rules of reality had to be bent in their favour whenever it suited them, which often meant that deadlines were irrelevant and they would be exempt from all semblance of academic standards.  Anything that challenged them or for which they were accountable was either “too hard” or “not fair”.

If hard cold reality caught up with them and they got grades lower than they thought they deserved because they submitted lousy work, guess who got hauled into the department head’s office?  Not them.  In fact, they were often let off the hook.

I quit my teaching position 13 years ago this month.  I don’t miss it at all.

If any of them ever got married, I don’t know whether I should pity their husbands.  On the one hand, I might feel sorry for them because they would have to put up with the special princess snowflake behaviour.  On the other, if they knew about it and married them anyway, they deserved what they got.

This is EXACTLY why I am happy to no longer be in a relationship. For women, jobs are a status symbol for them. They go into STEM fields because they can have higher status and thus have a lifestyle they want a man to maintain. Never in my life do I want to sustain someone else’s lifestyle in the name of “love”. That concept sickens me. I will only do so in the case of charities for noble causes or helping my parents or CLOSE LOYAL friends (who are mostly male). If I am in a relationship with a female who wants to know my income and spending habits, I lose either way. Why? If I make less than her, I am seen as “less of a man” or expendable. If I make more, I am seen as a workhorse and a provider. I want NEITHER or those labels. It’s bad enough companies already see me as a combination of these two roles (an EXPANDABLE WORKHORSE) so why on earth would i need another women to categorize me further? Strong lasting friendships>>>>marriage any day. In friendships, you don’t have to worry about being “labelled” as anything or than a “bro” or “a friend”. Women operate on a completely different level. The labels these women use for men in this article is appalling. They say things like “…<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Georgia, ‘Times New Roman’, Times, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 25px;”>I talk to so many women who are obsessed with finding men on their level. They want someone as ambitious, </span><span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Georgia, ‘Times New Roman’, Times, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 25px;”>engaged, and high-achieving as they are. They maybe need to rethink that to seek a partner who is supportive, rather than competitive.” </span>

<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Georgia, ‘Times New Roman’, Times, serif; font-size: 19px; line-height: 25px;”> </span><span style=”line-height: 1.5;”> Absolute nonsense. </span><span style=”line-height: 1.5;”>Ambitious = will do whatever he can to sustain me. Engaged = will tolerate all of my emotional and hormonal ridiculousness. High achieving = will earn and allow me to spend on my wants and “needs” in the name of “love” so i can brag to my friends on what a great resource I have.  The last part sounds like the author is sympathizing with men by attempting to change women standards but this is a fail. Supportive = will give me all of the money, time, and energy I require so i can be on top while I give him the honor of being chosen by me.   </span>

I shake my head at this.

I have discovered a truly remarkable list of reasons why women are not necessary for a happy life, but alas this margin is too small to contain it.

[treelville..miamiParticipant 893]

Lol. The only reason most of these millennial women even have the jobs that they do is because of mandatory government quotas and affirmative action, also most federal and local goverment employees are women. There is absolutely nothing a woman can do better than a man except lie & cheat and proprietate evil.

[QcummerParticipant 652]

In military leadership courses, the fact of an entire generation of young men (not just women) are void of accountability and responsibility is explained so the leaders can be prepared for what they will face. They are informed that these young folk don’t have the capacity to even understand consequences.

I think this may have to do with many being raised without any type of father…so they model after their mothers, taking on feminine traits.

[Helen be DamnedParticipant 480]

Yes, their belief that they are fantastic in everything, as they specifically said in the article, they ignore the fact that they are terrible and disgusting people. No one should date them, any more than you should stick your c~~~ in a toaster.

I don’t know about you guys but I like the article. All the rationalizations made me smile. It reminds me a little of a kitten that is confused because you pulled the yarn out of it’s paws. The entire article is basically some woman trying to convince herself that she deserves a Mr. Spock. It would be sad if it weren’t so funny.

[BeerParticipant 11832]

Just a few quotes that made me giggle…

“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.”

^manslation – They have no f~~~ing concept that a decade or more on the c~~~ carousel is going to kill their chances of a decent, stable, long term relationship with a quality guy who actually respects them.

“Millennial women are increasingly finding two options when it comes to romance: marry down or don’t marry.”

^manslation – Love doesn’t matter…its all about resource acquisition.  Love only matters when a man is marrying down and the woman needs a bulls~~~ reason not to sign a prenup.

“Or, accomplished women hold firm in searching for impressive men to help them feel they are getting anything out of the partnership.”

^manslation – yet its accomplished men who realize they have the most to lose, and the least to gain from marriage.  Maybe future generations of women will learn from my generation that marrying young for potential and working as a team to build a future(like past generations did) is going to have better results for more women than trying to marry past your prime to someone who has already achieved their potential.

[ValleyFever101Participant 84]

It doesn’t seem that they’re that much different from the women in my age group, although as they got into their 30s and 40s, their standards started to get lower and lower.  I don’t know how much of this is a class issue, if these millennial women are so worried about “marrying down” or “settling.”  I thought the whole idea was for women to get educated, gain lucrative employment, and become independent so that they wouldn’t need a man for survival or sustenance.  Now that they’ve achieved their objectives and reached this pinnacle of success, they’re wondering where their Prince Charming is?

Chances are, they probably already have had more than a few “Prince Charmings” in their lives but were probably too clueless to notice and let the opportunity slip from their fingers.  Once they get into their late 30s and 40s, they’re so full of regret and emotional baggage that they have nothing left to offer a man except second-hand kids and a rapidly-aging body.  Even those who manage to get married have to contend with the up-and-coming 20-somethings who are making a beeline right for their husbands (not to mention their own unmarried peers in their age group).  This is especially true if really he is a “Prince Charming” and a man of education and substance.

Of the five women pictured in the article, I expect two of them may find the “Prince Charming” they’re looking for, one may “marry down,” and the other two will be conniving ways to steal the “Prince Charmings” whom their friends found.  In five years, they’ll all hate each other.  Their “Prince Charmings” will also be gone since they’ll be fed up with all the BS.

 

[MantelarParticipant 77]

Vile.  She assumes that there are plenty of men out there with no self-respect who will gladly marry her and her friends when they view those men as “marrying down.”

Beyond that…typically female dribble.  Completely unwilling and unable to apply anything resembling scientific method to the problem, let alone her life.  I have simple news for her – if she can’t find a man either (1) her standards are too high, (2) she isn’t as ‘fabulous’ as she thinks, or (3) a combination of the two.  The only good idea she had was to move to a state with more men.  That would give her a statistically higher chance of finding what she considers a suitable mate.

As a corollary, her requirement that the man be ‘white collar’ stinks of everything that is wrong with this country.  She looks down on hard work.  She looks down on the men who literally CREATE the world around her.  She’s the exact kind of user/abuser Ayn Rand warns of in Atlas Shrugged.  Her belief that she and her girlfriends are dominating anything is an delusion.

[hmskl’dParticipant 6411]

Interesting how many times the word amazing is used in article.

[peterfaParticipant 833]

I think we’re all missing the obvious: Good men don’t want Millennial women. That’s why they have the options of marrying down or not marrying, which is pretty mysandric already since it means a man is the sum of his possessions. If you think a man is that then you’re so hopelessly gullible it’s not even funny. It’s also sad that she expects to financially gain and considers it a loss when she doesn’t gain so much more. This is what men dealt with throughout the centuries. We always had to marry women who were below us. Now we can’t stand it.

It’s like this, they got what they needed, they got an education, careers, money. What do they need a man for? For more money? Well, they got that and they’re independent. Why show your love to the men who built the nation and gave the opportunity, surrendering their “privilege?” They never “won” “equality,” we listened to them, believed them, and gave them “equality.” It wasn’t GRRL Power. Even when they say women run the world through men, that implies men listen to them and care about what they think.

I disagree. Men like to work with women and this is especially true with STEM. Nerds love having women with them, even if those women aren’t all that attractive. STEM men are vulnerable to being used because they’re normally not treated nicely by women. Women treat them like dirt. Women are favored highly by them, and it’s easy for them to land jobs. It’s because men want them along.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[Mango IngawayParticipant 2264]

Most girls my age think they’re entitled to pretty much anything, because mommy and daddy never knew how to say no.

The result you get is a bunch of idiots thinking they’re geniuses, brilliant really.

It is a common failing of childhood to think that if one makes a hero out of a demon the demon will be satisfied.

[BeeParticipant 700]

They remind me of my cousin.

The family went on a cruise. My cousin was about 26-7 at the time. At dinner most nights, she’d have a drink and a half in her and start talking about how all she wanted was a man that earned $100K or more. She was a 7 at best. Very slim, average appearance, tiny breasts. She was a CPA working at one of the Big 4 firms living in the NYC area. I think she had recently switched to corporate finance. (Big 4 has very long hours and lots of stress).

I didn’t say anything because I wanted to keep harmony, plus I was dealing with a 2 year old daughter who was too tired after the day’s activities but… look – 27 year old men don’t earn 100K. Guys who are that age, tall, handsome, confident and whatever else is on your list are very few and their options are unlimited. They don’t hang around with 7’s with no t~~~. You’ll need to compromise somewhere. You might find an older guy who has the dough or you might find a guy around your age who may not have your earning potential – because most don’t. Water finds it’s level. If you’re a 7 girl you aren’t going to find a 10 guy. My cousin went back to school for an MBA, ostensibly to improve her career prospects but in reality she probably wanted another shot at a Mrs. degree. I think breast augmentation would have been a better investment.

It only took two drinks for her to reveal her deepest motivations. My feeling was eeeew, that’s awful, and not realistic.

Statistically, median household income is about $45,000. Earning $100,000 per year puts you close to the top 10%. You’d like a guy that makes 100K? So does everyone else. Also, don’t get mad when he’s not around much. Those guys usually work way more than 40 hours a week.

If you want to find a successful guy, your best chance is to find a smart, ambitious guy and marry young. Work as a team to build your future together. That is how our Grandparents did it.

An excellent book on the topic is “Marry Him, the Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough” by Lori Gottlieb. It is well written and not in a whiny female tone at all. To summarize – Don’t spend your prime years riding the c~~~ carousel because several great guys will slip through your fingers. Your options will decline and so will your standards because you’re beauty is a limited resource and you’re competing with younger women for the same men.

[Crazy CanuckMember 4215]

Why the f~~~ doesn’t she make $100 000/year? LOL It’s equality yet these bitches don’t make the same amount they expect men to make. If I made over $100 000/year I wouldn’t tell anyone. I would live a simple life and nobody would know because I wouldn’t drive that much, I rather bike or walk anyways.

Rich people don’t get rich by just making a large amount of money many of them are cheap asses.

Life has always gone according to our plans, so why wouldn’t we land a man with these (reasonable) requirements?

Because reality.  You are not a princess.

Ok. Then do it.

I’m 31 with a 6 figure income.  Its funny you mention this, because its actually one of my reasons for not wanting to get married.  When I went from a 40k a year job to a six figure job I didn’t think “Awesome! Now I can afford to get married!”  I thought “Well I’m never getting married…now I have too much to lose.”

Most girls I meet around my age are making in the 25-50k range and come with varying degrees of debt attached to them.  Marrying into debt when I’m currently debt free and stashing more away for retirement then some girls are grossing is dumb enough on its own…but then to run the risk of having to split assets in the event of a break up…no thanks.  I didn’t bust my ass to get to where I am so a 5 year marriage could result in the “partner” that brought in 1/5th or less of the marital income gets to walk away with 1/2 of more of the marital assets…especially considering if I was really longing for a woman there are plenty out there that would gladly play house without getting married.

Haha, true story.  Its nice to have toys but its even more nice to stash money away for an early retirement…and nobody has to know what your 401k or brokerage balances are.  Plus its just hilarious when you are talking to a girl working an 11 dollar an hour job expecting to marry a millionaire.  Good luck honey…I hope 11 dollars an hour is enough to support the half dozen cats you’ll accumulate on your journey to becoming the crazy cat lady.
