8 brutally honest reasons why millennial women are staying single, thoughts? (Page 2)

Question

How do you all feel about this?

1. We're busy starting our careers.

2. We're busy racking up advanced degrees.

4. We aren't particularly religious.

5. We haven't met "the right person."

6. We're working on being better people.

7. We want to have sex. Like, a lot.

8. Being single can actually be awesome

DublinRollerGirl · Answer

It's a bunch of blarney. Because women like sex? Uhhh, so do men so it would seem that getting married and doing fit legal would be a good thing instead of all this casual shit which spreads STD's like jam and bread.

Career. My first priority is getting my life together and being financially stable. Being in a relationship is last on my list.

SketchForger · Answer

"Brutally honest"

Now call me petty...

But this wasn't groundbreaking or antagonistic. Most of these things can be applied to any gender and it's weird to see it put into this context of "milenial women". It's nice to see you used a question instead of a myTake because you didn't have any actual thought put into it.

I'd recommend being more controversial if you want to call any of what you said "Brutal" or "honest."

Yeah younger generations are extremely cynical about their society. Things might change the government should of the world really push for this break up in society, makes us all easy to manage. Some religious institutions are collapsing others starting to thrive. Some of us are also just better at family life than others.

Fromdusktilldawn · Answer

Millenial girls are under 18, and already starting a career?
Actually those are also true for men, even most from the mid 90s are like that. Go to university for a masters degree, religions put aside. "Haven't met the right person", yea cause today its way harder than before, there is too much mistrust nowadays. "Working on being better people", hm I don't really believe so. In what way? More loyality, more charitable more environment friendly?
The other 2 are nothing new

If want a traditional family, I will not be the main supporter of the family, but I may make a bit of income through side jobs.  However, I still don't know, and time is running out for me to decide.

I haven't forgot my ex and I do not trust in other guys.

MrMilti · Answer

Men have been doing that for thousands of years and still were able to start relationships and started a family.
Whats so difficult about it to both persue a productive career and live a happy personallife with a partner?

Miristheiss · Answer

I think a lot if people will be unhappy in the long run. Career won't trump love and family like many think it should and it will be hard to get love and family in their 30's and 40's and it may be too late by then.

cavmanier · Answer

Maybe because girls are allowing much more casual sex on the sexual marketplace so it's harder to get a guy to commit.

taleswapper · Answer

I'm for it. Marriage is useful only if it serves to concentrate resources and improve the viability of offspring. IN the modern age, it does neither.

keithfe · Answer

I am in the similar situation, trying to have a better career, paying off debts- student loan, wanting to remain single ; cause trying to find the right person is not working. So it feels great doing your own thing. Whenever I want to go out, travel, etc. I j

Reggieray · Answer

Do me a favor.

When you're 40+, don't stare at my kids like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. It's not my fault you let your eggs go bad. I'm sorry your wistful, longing, and sad, but we all have to live with our decisions.

"How to be lonely and single 30-year-old woman constantly stressing over her biological clock in only 8 easy steps."

Queequrg · Answer

Millennial woman does not exist. There are many subgroups and each ought to be looked at individually.

Perhaps your looking at USA today stays but thinking of your college educated friends: fair enough... But only one group.

Inner city women have been trending heavily single for decades. A trend that may be reversing.

Immigrant women are again of several subtypes: coming for better life or fleeing a warzone. Each has her reasons for being single.

Anonymous · Answer

Personally I haven't met the right person yet
Although I don't think it's that bad as I'm 21 so it's not a very old age to be single
Although I think people born in 1996+ are Generation Z not Millenials

I can understand most of these but number 7. There’s no reason you can’t have a relationship and lots of sex. And no 4 is completely inconsequential.

5/8 of these statements apply to me, and yet I have a boyfriend. I think these ''explanations'' are more than anything else, excuses that you give yourself so that you don't have to feel bad about being ingle.

HereIbe · Answer

You forgot something: You're going to bitch and whine and cry and moan when you hit 40 and have never even been engaged. Then you'll get cats and become a bitter old feminist.

Juxtapose · Answer

I don't care beyond commenting here. The more I think about how primitive and simple we are as a species, the less appealing I find relationships as a whole.

Vankor · Answer

Haha I like how the 1st question to vote on is about a job, hahahha. Millennials have no work ethics let alone want jobs. They tend to be caught up in self indulgence and SJW agendas.

Leviathan_Charmer · Answer

But why does that mean you can't date? You're now getting married or shit, it's just a boyfriend lol. Seriously, we aren't that high-maintenance.

AynonOMouse · Answer

1. I hope she plans to keep working after having kids then, otherwise it was a waste of time.
2 & 3. I'm not paying off her loan debt for that degree.
4. So, an excuse to be immoral?
5. Someone to take care of all of her mistakes? (kids by other guys) lol
7. So, she wants to be a slut? I hope she knows she is not worthy of ever having a good guy/SO after she is like that.
8. I agree. Being single I don't have the stress created by greedy, selfish people and I can do what I want when I want.

Phew, and thank what ever God is listening. They are finally leaving us alone.

ronaldo75 · Answer

Millennial women are single because they're self-absorbed and let media control them. Being single by choice is one thing, being single because no one can stand you and your relationships never last more than 6 months i something else.

Chrissylee · Answer

I think, better stay single if you think you're not able to stay committed with your partner. Tbh, there's nothing wrong by being single and focus on career first if you feel comfortable with it.

ThisAndThat · Answer

You didn't list MGTOW. You might want to do that next time because MGTOW is your near future primary purpose if not already for being single.

CoffeeWC · Answer

That's a good thing. A relationship can really weigh you down.

UncleJessieRabbit · Answer

I actually think it's really sad that today's women (and men too for that matter) think about staying single. No wonder my generation is more depressed than ever.

90sGrunge · Answer

We haven't met, the right person, which leads to, we're working on becoming better people. The result is understanding that being single is not that bad, the rest seem just excuses to me.

Higher income couples are getting married later but still getting married.  Poorer Americans aren’t. Basically men are only considered marriageable if they improve a woman’s financial standing.

Because men are picking up on women, they're slowly finding out that they only intend to take advantage of them

If not religious means no relationships than I guess I've been doing it wrong this whole time. Thanks for letting me know! ^_^ -_-

Anonymous · Answer

Cool man--you do you. As long as your happy with your choices, it's all good. The only one on there that doesn't make a ton of sense is number 7. People in relationships have a lot more sex than single people do.

ElvenMr · Answer

You can stay single if you want, but why can't you have lot of sex in a relationship? You don't have to marry or make a family. Very weird list.

skateranon123 · Answer

All this is great but I still believe in the traditional family. It's hard to get nowadays.

Anonymous · Answer

That would be an excuse, not finding a man/woman is often usually a choice. Nothing is stopping you

Anonymous · Answer

7 doesn't make sense. Wouldn't that be a reason for not staying single?

Tomsta · Answer

The point you make bout sex. You can have a lot of sex in a relationship...

jessture · Answer

Their expectations are too high and men aren't desperate enough to play their games

Clarke498 · Answer

But why does a relationship have to mean no more sex? If you think you can blame that on men, i think that won't work. Our sex drive are always on.

bradnor21 · Answer

Because that's what they are being taught by their friends and media. Or they started dating too young and inevitably had an immature experience so they give up on it too soon.
