The answer is simple, what guy benefits from having a woman who works just as many hours as he does and is unwilling to roll back said career in order to stick it to the patriarchy? Maybe they want kids and many of this demographic don't want kids. Maybe a guy doesn't care about how much money you make. Many young women conflate what they find desirable in men to what men ought to desire in women.

Most of the career oriented women I know are married.

They're not really supposed to be checking out the leftovers.

What? I don't understand your point at all. Who said they can't find a man? Who said men don't want women who work? According to the overwhelming opinion of young men posting on C-D, they do want women who make their own money.

"Roll back [the] career in order to stick it to the patriarchy"? What does that mean?

If you have an opinion on the matter, please state it as your opinion, not the opinion of an entire generation.

I have no idea what you're trying to say. Please explain.

Plenty of my friends in that age range are getting married and they are all lawyers and such. Though a lot of them aren't as marriage-centric as women of previous generations.

But overall they are either married or with long term BFs.

Haven't heard any of them complain they can't find a man. You guys are scattered all OVER the place, messing up the throw pillows and stuff.....

Many young women conflate what they find desirable in men to what men ought to desire in women.

Many women in this category are unmarried mainly because their career became a priority over relationship.

Just move to any major city, especially New York, and you will see no shortage of these types.

Everybody has their choice. I don't hold it against women for wanting to pursue career success.

When things are all said and done.....these women only have themselves to blame if they are unhappy with their love life.

With that said....I love a smart....intelligent....career minded woman.

However, I do believe there are other more important qualities that men use when determining if a woman is marriage material.

A lucrative employment position is on the bottom of the list.

Well, from what I gather on CD - as long as these young women pay for the dates and put out on the first date - they'll be just fine.

What patriarchy? Where the man is the head of the household and she is to do as he tells her to do no questions asked and no complaints?
What era are you from? If a man wants a woman like that he is living in the wrong era, wants a Mother or a Maid but does not want an equal partnership in marriage.

And people wonder why some women run away from this type of man and choose to remain single?
