Here’s another one of those whinefests from a liberated career woman about how she and her “successful, gorgeous, and amazing friends” in their 30’s can’t find a man to save them from themselves.
This stood out for me from the article:
For one, it’s not as if we are holding out for Jake Gyllenhaal, but we do have certain non-negotiable expectations for potential mates that include college degrees and white-collar jobs. Life has always gone according to our plans, so why wouldn’t we land a man with these (reasonable) requirements?
This point has been made before, but I will make it again.
A woman requiring an education from a man is not a reasonable requirement, at least if she actually wants to find a man.
There are 1.3 females graduating for every 1 male who graduates. For every 10 females that may potentially find a man with a college degree, it is an absolute impossibility for 3 of them to.
I repeat: it is a mathematical impossibility for at least 23% of college-educated women to find a college-educated man.
The article, like most of these types, does mention this, but glosses over and understates the severity of it:
But increasingly, there aren’t enough of these men to go around. Women now outnumber men on college campuses, and single, childless women out earn their male counterparts. In fact, as author Liza Mundy writes in her book, The Richer Sex, Millennial women are increasingly finding two options when it comes to romance: marry down or don’t marry.
It’s not that there just “aren’t enough”, it’s that there is a major shortage.
And men know this.
Can a women honestly think that a 30-year-old college-educated man, knowing that he’s in very high demand is going to settle for a 30-year-old career broad, rather than the newly minted 23-year-old college grad or the cute 22-year-old waitress?
Honestly?
Sure, I said absolutely nothing new, but it bears repeating. While some seem to recognize the problem, it is always understated.
It is an absolute impossibility for 1-in-4 college-educated women in the US to find a college-educated man.
If you are a women looking for a college-educated man, look hard and when you find bite hard while young before both you and the college-educated man enters your 30s and he realizes his high value, otherwise you could be in the 25%.
On the bright side, if that happens you could always write freelance articles complaining about how you can’t find a man.
****
For those women who don’t want to be in the 25%, the Captain runs down how to capture your college-educated man. You simply have to be:
A physically attractive woman who is
nice
responsible
reasonably intelligent
and likes sex
That’s it. May probability be with you.
When I was in college, if you hadn’t found a man by your junior year, you were in trouble because the pool of older men kept shrinking every year.
This can’t be repeated enough.
Education is over-hyped.
If you want women to actually listen, you should have closed with that quote about odds from the “hunger Games”. Since that’s about the typical college-educated woman’s reading level.
“Can a women honestly think that a 30-year-old college-educated man, knowing that he’s in very high demand is going to settle for a 30-year-old career broad, rather than the newly minted 23-year-old college grad or the cute 22-year-old waitress?”
So what you’re saying is women want an educated, stable man while men just want to fuck something pretty?
Seems like life isn’t going accordimg to her plans after all.
