I recently saw a segment on a news program about this; it featured a panel of single, black women in their 30s. And, NO, they're not going to become "bitter." These are highly educated and accomplished ladies who said they'd like to marry but they will NEVER, EVER SETTLE. They've got good friends, great careers and lots of hobbies and they said they'd rather remain single than just marry a guy for the sake of being married.
Almost all women say that. When the drive to have a kid kicks into high gear it's a whole other story. See also:
Well done! Pretty sly racist display worthy of Imus. Because you are not interested in dating Black women your "reasons" must apply in this discussion--except they don't. It's yet another example of one narrow mind imagining it's views are bigger than they are.
How was that racist? I never said I was not interested in dating Black women but so far, I have not meet any Black woman that I would be interested in. If you go back and read the reasons why it would be hard for me to date a Black woman, I think it may shed some light as to why, there are so many unmarried Black women. If stating the truth is RACISM to you, then be it!
For a lot of women, it becomes less about love and more about what they can live with.
“Everyone settles to some degree. You might as well settle pragmatically.”
And this is what scares the hell out of me as a man...being used as a sperm donor, money provider, or a "good enough" companion because they want somebody around. Notice the common theme here? Selfishness over and over again. Not once do I see these authors advocating that their readers pursue relationships because of the genuine love and connection with the other person. It's all about their desire to reproduce or pragmatism. Absolutely ****ing disgusting and this is what feminism has given birth to.
i dont know...i was single for a long time and felt very empty. and then after a while i got that "i dont need a man attitude" after being single for so long.
but deep down i always felt the need to be involved and never quite gave up on the fact.
A real woman has that need to be loved, married, and wanting to build something solid.

I'm pretty open minded and wondered why when there is a shortage of men due to war and other factors why we don't go back to men having multiple wives.
Many cultures the available men might take in the wife of another man who was killed or just in general plural wives is not that uncommon.
There was a story on Nightline about a week ago about the very real shortage of eligible educated black men in the US. Many college educated black women cannot find husbands.
I'm sure I'll take some heat for this but if a man & 2 women can successfully form a happy family and household. Why the heck not ? In this 2 income world maybe the 2nd wife could be the caretaker of the kids and we wouldn't have so many screwed up kids
Is it the end of the year blues? Bad Santa? This board is going weird.
