that's right ladies- don't you worry that men are never going to make a commitment to you in your entire life- you've got FEMINISM! No need to worry, don't you fret- it'll all turn out fine.

Having a rock star career.
Queso Dip.
Happy Hour.
Getting to travel or move anywhere in the world without feeling guilty or restrained.
Harry Potter Marathon Weekends.
Any and everything related to Beyonce.
Chipotle.
Rolling up "squad deep" to parties and bars with your friends.
And then leaving equally squad deep to go get in yoga pants and laugh about every ridiculous escapade of the evening.
Netflix.
Re-reading The Fault in Our Stars 10 times.
Learning something new and unexpected that changes you for the better.
Singing obnoxiously in the car.
Wine.
Wine.
Knowing concretely that wine had to be said multiple times on this list.
Hanging out with your mom.
That miraculous moment when no one is really at the gym.
It's like, PRIVATE GYM, WHAT UP.
Pinterest.
Slipper socks.
Having some time by yourself to just stand outside and soak up the overwhelming joy that you're alive.
Nutella.
Gossip Girl.
Weekend sales.
Seriously, that crap can be half off.
The song "Problem" by Ariana Grande.
New shampoo.
French fries. If you tell yourself you don't have a deep passion for French fries, you're just lying to yourself.
Finding a new hobby or interest.
Actually having the time to dedicate to exploring that new hobby or interest.
Pitch Perfect.
Entire containers of Ben and Jerry's.
EOS lip balm.
Making a new best friend when you least expect it.
Waffles.
Movies with Ryan Gosling in them.
Concerts.
Taylor Swift girl power anthems.
Eating a home-cooked meal after you haven't eaten anything that wasn't frozen or packaged for too long.
Having a surplus of pillows.
Dancing like a diva.
Sleeping in.
Online shopping.
Understanding that half of these items are more comical than accurate and yet there is an underlying truth. What is the greatest part about not having a boyfriend? It's understanding that you do not require one to be complete. You should be happy with who you are on the inside, and content watching Netflix marathons and going out with friends. When the right guy comes around, he will. Until then, go blast some Beyonce ladies, being single is a beautiful thing.

Ive had women do this, they feel so completely ignored by men they start to imagine that men are chasing them, trying to rape them, or what have you. Did you know that 'hysteria' actually derives from the same root word as 'hysterectomy'?

So if you give them a hysterectomy they become less hysterical? Anyone else noticed that 95% of women couldn't give a shit about politics until they've dropped their last egg? Usually some time after 40...

no moron. the diagnosis 'hysteria' was thought to be related to the uterus.

Women will tell you that American men are children.

American Men aren't children, it's just the ones these whores are sleeping with.

marcus,

you have no idea what you're talking about. This isn't a Brave New World- it's not working, it's even close to sustainable at any rate. If you were any younger, and you had to actually experience the ACTUAL RESULT of these ideas- rather than repeating their PROMISES over and over again- you would know that continuing it is 100% impossible.

52   Rin   2014 Jul 30, 11:57am

Most women in college don't fit this description, and there are more women in college than men.

In New England area colleges, anywhere from 10% to 35% of female co-eds experiment with lesbianism. That's way off the national average for a standing lesbian population.

Simply put, guys are either gay or they're not. They don't need to experiment to know this. Thus, you don't see straight guys joining the LGB associations, unless they're politicians trying to pander some votes.

Thus, there's serious problem here and it's not being handled.

It's one of those things which is easier, simply not to think about. I can't imagine a single straight guy who'd want to even give it a try, for kicks.

Since women do this regularly, esp in college, it really says that their sexual and psychological development is messed up.

55   The Original Bankster   2014 Jul 30, 12:06pm  

whats hilarious is, they don't offer women anything.

it's either- OH HERES SOME FUN THINGS YOU CAN DO WITHOUT A BOYFRIEND ie. OP

or,
TRY LESBIANISM! it's great fun!

If it's the end of the world as we know it, then the only reason why I feel fine is that I'd given up on women and would rather bo*nk strippers/esc*rts.

Right. So easy. What are you talking about ? Hip hop ? Not my thing, but give me a break.

There are aspects to this that people don't normally even consider. For example the shift to two incomes being worth little more than what one income used to be.

Some would blame women entering the work force for this, but I think it could be argued that because of a global inequality in incomes, our incomes decreasing as globalization occurred has been a natural and predictable phenomenon. Women entering the work force has served to somewhat hide the significant decrease in standard of living (relative to a single income) that has taken place in this country.

The American family has been collateral damage in this economic shift.

But on the bright side, things are really improving in some third world countries, and China is becoming first world.

60   The Original Bankster   2014 Jul 30, 12:27pm  

the workforce is also dramatically less productive place due to the presence of women. It's really reached insane proportions. All women do in the workplace is create drama.

As one who has never posted on pat net, I have to laugh at this thread. Clearly from other threads, there are clear political ideologies amongst the posters. Who would ever have thought that a hatred for the modern american woman would bring everyone together? Just found it ironic and funny. Definitely agree with all that you guys are saying though.

Its a bi-partisan topic, with a bi-partisan solution..JUST SAY NO

Have a friend who escaped Afghanistan. She covertly made her way through Turkey to the states. Here neighbor was not so lucky. He was harrassed by the Taliban/Local Mafia.

She loves George Bush due to the fact that he liberated a lot of women, and in many part of the "invaded areas" human and womens rights were restored. Now they are going back in reverse.

George Bush really stuck up for womens rights as a by product of what went on. Some of the people that escape from the middle east are far stronger Republicans than I realized.

Let me tell you, I know plenty of married folks. Many of them are miserable.

The world is also engaged in ethnic cleansing and the notion of tribal affiliation to the detriment of others. What enlightenment of the masses.

71   komputodo   2014 Jul 30, 3:21pm  

Is this a coincidence?
Harvard Health publications:
Here are a few other stand-out statistics from the report on antidepressants:

23% of women in their 40s and 50s take antidepressants, a higher percentage than any other group (by age or sex)
Women are 2½ times more likely to be taking an antidepressant than men (click here to read a May 2011 article in the Harvard Mental Health Letter about women and depression)
14% of non-Hispanic white people take antidepressants compared with just 4% of non-Hispanic blacks and 3% of Mexican Americans
Less than a third of Americans who are taking a single antidepressants (as opposed to two or more) have seen a mental health professional in the past year
Antidepressant use does not vary by income status.

72   Rin   2014 Jul 30, 9:51pm  

A lot of these meanderings about this idealistic homestead, esp in post-apocalyptic America, have resulted in more of these ...

In place of the above, a more practical approach would be to enjoy the following ..

You are starting to get silly. I'm not married to a fat slob either. And everyone ages...that's life. Many married people are miserable, and many are perfectly happy. Many unmarried folks are miserable.
To claim being single is the key to happiness is dead wrong.

74   mell   2014 Jul 31, 12:47am  

Call it Crazy says

Once again, the miserable ones are people who don't know how to pick the right mate...

Statistically speaking they all cannot pick the right one because that pool is limited. If they did, you may have not found your wife, so you have to give them some slack.

Call it Crazy says

But, to make blanket statements like you have, well, they just don't fit. But if it makes you feel better about YOUR situation, go for it!

A lot of (if not more) married people do the same thing to feel better about their situation.

Having been on both sides many times the grass is always greener on the other side - it's human nature.

Strategist says

To claim being single is the key to happiness is dead wrong.

He never did - he only commented on his personal situation. There are clearly people who are better off single, in fact studies have shown that there are differences in the brains of those who prefer to always have a partner and those that prefer independence. If you're fair you'd acknowledge that the married/female side started with the generalizations first. To each their own, he's leaving more "desirable" ones for those who aspire a lifelong marriage with a quality woman ;)

75   Rin   2014 Jul 31, 12:47am  

Both Call It Crazy and Strategist are talking about marriages from decades ago, not the current society which we live in. In this society, being emotionally and financially independent is rather important. I'd say it's even paramount as it's getting more dysfunctional by the year.

If memory serves right, back in the late 70s, this writer, Richard Bach, wrote about his wife, Leslie Parrish, as his perennial soulmate. This is the 'Bridge Across Forever'

http://www.inner-growth.info/private/books/bridge_intro.htm

I used to hear quotes from the aforementioned, from all the love struck, starry eyed 20 to 30-somethings, who were into spirituality and meditation.

Well, looks like, after all that soulmate-itis, Richard and Leslie grew bored of each other, got divorced, and he found himself a younger bride.

Now, if the grand-daddy of soul mate pandering can't make it work, what's left for the rest of us?

Lots of married couples DO make it work. Life does not come with guarantees, but then, that's what makes it fun.
Instinct tells me you are not as happy as you claim, you may have gone through a personal crisis, and you will recover. Eventually you will find Mrs. Rin, at which point you will take an opposite view of life.

It's not just about picking the right mate, but being the right mate. It's pretty rare you be the exact same person you were before the start of a relationship.

I'd say a minority and usually, they have very similar backgrounds (ethnic a/o religious) a/o objectives in life.

Strategist says

Like I'd said, my postings here are in regards to arguing against both, my immediate family and society, as a whole. And thus, this forum serves that purpose whereas in real life, I'd need to be political as ppl don't want their sacred cows tipped over.

Also, this job is driving me nuts which is another reason to come here; it blows off steam.

The crisis, the age of 29, is something everyone goes through. It's the age of growing up, the astrological Saturn return era. Afterwards, my loss of interest in long term relationships started to grow. Today, I'm past that wall and don't see value in being with someone, outside of a friendship, like the 55 year old married mother of three adult children. And no, I'm not thinking of going back in a time machine to 'get her'; I live in reality.
