Americans less likely to have sex, partner up and get married than ever
If the last two years has taught us anything, it’s that the environment is toxic, from the very breathe of every human being.

But that’s good for the environment, isn’t it.

Go Green!

Luckily I'm too old to worry about it. But you are right. The styles now are drab and boring. There really isn't any style, generally speaking (of course there are exceptions, but very few). Women these days remind me of what a cave woman would have looked like. My yearbook from 1980 looks like a high fashion show compared to today's looks. Or take a look at a photo of Stevie Nicks from 1981. THAT was style.

No thank you America... Put your damn cloths back on and hit the gym, have a little pride and dignity, and then we'll talk. For now, we can be friends. but keep your influence to yourself thank you. This country pretending it's ready for war with Russia... Yall should be more worried about getting laid and enjoying life, instead of trying to drag the rest of the world down to an early miserable, lonely, depressing grave.


AND FJB.
Watch out for the fat women online, they have more sex with more partners than most people can imagine. They are fat for a reason, because they realized that they don't have to take care of themselves and men do just do about anything to get laid.

Anyone surprised? I’m not. In today’s hook up culture, I would especially not be surprised if more and more men are deciding marriage isn’t something they need in life.
Cannot afford it. If a man is making $60,000 or less then there is no case I can think of where having kids or starting a family makes sense. By the time a male is finally able to properly fund retirement, investments, living arrangements, car or transportation issues, and is finally in a position to have extra spending money for dates ect, that man is 40 years old and does not want to deal with little kids anymore.

Sure that same guy can get married and have kids at 25-30 but when he is 45 and his retirement is not funded, little to no investments, debt from college tuition for the kids, debt from a home that is now too big with the kids leaving and a crap job that is good just for family health insurance, no one will care and will tell you its your fault you made the choice fo kids over money.

Hence why so many are either waiting until their 40s or just having

The lag to partner up or legally marry I get since society has accepted extra marital sex in all forms. Why folks are ignoring or fighting the biological drive to have sex is my question.

That's disgusting and all the more reason to watch out. I hear cases of STDs have been on a sharp rise. When I lived in Chicago several years back, I kept hearing reports that 1 out of 3 young people in the city had 1 STD or more. I'm not sure if America as caught up but last I heard, the rates have been rising significantly across the country for years.


Kind of odd when you hear reports that Americans are having less sex than ever, but cases of STDs continue reaching new record highs. I wish my stocks worked like that, but FJB destroys everything he touches except chlamydia it seems.

This:

I love my kids dearly but if I found myself back in 1990 knowing what I know now (and I don't get to play the "I know the future stock market" game. There is no way in heck I would get married and have a family.

I work 3200 to 3600 hours a year to barely make it at 75K-80K a year in an expensive part of the country. "Just move" is terrible advice when jobs making over 52K a year with health insurance are not all that plentiful, especially for those over 50.

It has been a long slog with very little down time or fun time. I would never undo my kids but if I was back in time to 1990, my kids would be different kids simply because I could never truly duplicate my future and get my exact kids. I do it now because I was raised to be a provider for any kids I made and I have upheld my end of the bargain much to my own lack of benefit. I am exhausted and I will see my kids through. The road has mostly sucked. My last day off was Jan 1. My next day off will be Mar 6th. I have jury duty. Not much of a day off is it? My next actual day off looks to be Memorial Day.

You bring up some good points. It used to be normal and common practice in the United States for men to not marry until their 40's and the women would be 20 years younger. At this point men would be established enough to start a family with a beautiful bride.

What changed was WWI but primarily WWII was that men came home from war, there was an abundance of single women and the men cash saved up after the war to really settle down. Boomers followed suit as their was a baby boom and a leveling of ages that the generation could start making a great living in their mid 20s with ease. Now we have quandary of issues.

They aren't fighting or ignoring it, people are just getting more and more selective about who their partners are.

For every one person like you, there are 6-7 worthless bags of flesh literally picking the meat off the bone of what remains of America's productive class. It's sad, and it's sad the way the productive are expected to toil and slave for the worthless, but that's how socialism works. Yes, I believe we have officially crossed the line and become a socialist country.

If they want to be selective, they should have taken better care of themselves. The game of love has been around a lot longer than ugly Americans, and if they have no bargaining power, they are stuck settling with what is available. A lot of well to do American men choose foreign women these days, because someone took a dump in the American dating pool.
