Yes, 18 year olds. They are so #$M smart today because of the internet. They can fix your comuter, download all 200 of your 50's songs in a few seconds and then tell you exact directions to a new shopping center all at the same time.

You go young people!! Please fix this world because the baby boomers are ruining it!!!

They may be smart but they sure aren't wise.

Actually people do care. There is something about humans where we police each other.

So for example, I no longer go to small gatherings where people know me because men and women always ask me the same dumb questions. "So when you getting married?" I'm just tired of explaining things to people.

I'm getting married just to spite "men" like you.

Other then that, women have this selfish price charming fantasy to be swept off their feet by some rich man (planted in their minds by Walt Disney); fundamentally, it's not a bad idea, but the odds are far against their favor because there are not enough rich men to go around. So this leaves a lot of unsatisfied and disgruntled women who can't keep up with the wives of business tycoons and NFL/NBA players. (I have met women in this caliber and it's just best that women not even pay these women any mind because IT WILL drive you crazy if you get too close to the high life and you really can't afford to live that way).

But women will still try and wait it out, and strategize, to find that rich man because they are good at plotting and scheming and they don't have to deal with sexual frustration on the level that a man has. Good luck...lol

As a woman who has very little interest in marriage, I still wouldn't be accused of misandry.

Why? Because my lack of interest in matrimony has nothing to do with disliking men. I don't think they are a bunch of lazy, beer-drinking, philandering pigs. I like them and enjoy spending time with them.

If I were to get re-married it with be with pre-nups on both sides - it's just wise.

There is a HUGE difference between not wanting to get married and have kids in general, and becasue you think women are the sparkly, good smelling minions of Satan who are out for you money and who's sole purpose in life is to suck all joy from your existence.
