Well, I will give you my example. 38, single, no kids, very little baggage, smart financially. 98% of the women I have met in my area would automatically become liabilities. Why?

Most have kids, ex-husband drama, have been divorced, I would say the vast majority are very stupid financially and often live above their means or are drowning in debt.

Why in the hell would I want to be with someone that will become an automatic liability?.

Like I love to spend Friday nights by myself, relaxing and doing whatever the hell I want. I grabbed a pizza and I am having a really good night, BY MYSELF.

Most of these women would not even understand why you would want to spend a Fri night by yourself? Enough said!

It is not that I have given up on relationships, my attitude towards relationships is indifferent at best, I see very few benefits and a lot of potential for unnecessary stress, headaches and bull****.

You might have the right ideas, but the background information is not the selling point in the context.
that's ultimately why this civilization is doomed.

What I dislike today is that everyone seems to be in a hurry so that one always feels like one is stealing someone's time. So conversations remain shallow and short. Then there is careers, which make people move around a lot, often destroying relationships before they really started.
Nope your theory is invalid. There are plenty of ugly people still propagating. just look around..

I hear you man. Same exact sitch here. We should be choice meat in the market.

My vote: Get the eff out of Iowa. My next move is to get out of Arizona (again). Might chap your ass, conservative man, but the de facto red state thing to do is to baby up one's life way too young without much forethought (usually looking for a second round man to pick up their broken pieces). Eff that.

wow. I've read every entry on this thread. Hope you won't mind a question or two.
1. What qualities do you want (demand?) from a potential spouse or partner who would suit you?
2. Are you willing change to be that suitable partner for them?

Just asking!

Hate to agree but that was exactly why I got the hell outta Kentucky after finishing my undergrad degree. Thank God I live in the blue part of Virginia.

I hear you. Sometimes I almost regret I am not gay because women are usually not on my wavelength. All the melodramatic stuff, the talking, the shopping etc...

Regarding the money, as I was watching one of those telenovelas the other day I was wondering why a prenup and separation of property are not default unless expressly agreed upon otherwise in a contract

Yes, maybe they even increase the problem by further mixing with each other I rarely see attractive-unattractive couples.

I'm game.

Only ones that mirror who I am... as equals. I never ask for more than I am myself. In a lot of cases, I actually expect a lot less. Main concern is that they're in the same place in life as I am, the same lifestyle choices.

Don't need to. Like I said. They just need to mirror me on some levels, they can fall short on others.
