Well it's a choice but the other side of it is women past their prime attractive years hitting 30+ after years on the cock riding carousel finding it hard to meet a decent guy when they are ready to settle down.
Kinda comes off as sour grapes when she's gotta justify her relationship status.
Like... what's the point of being an ambitious career woman if all you have to come home to is cats and to find out your one night stand forgot to flush after leaving a big dump in the toilet.
Congratulations. Pretty sure having a husband and kids might be a teensy bit more rewarding, but what do I know?
1. Shallowness 2. social status among friends 3. They think all men just want sex. 4. prefer the attention of being single 5. They do not want to settle down with a guy in case something better comes along. 6. They would rather men pay them for sex, dates and gifts rather than going on proper normal dates or hookups. 7. They do not think they are good enough for some men. 8. They do not trust men get scared they may get hurt or worse.
Nothing wrong with just dating, specially if you're under 30. Tie down your career and have some fun, but don't tie the knot until you have a little experience living because people change drastically from the time they're 18 to 30, from the time they're 30 to 40, and from the time they're 40 to 50. Nothing like making the wrong decision when you're young. So take some time to experience life but also be safe and protect yourself and respect other people.
Well depends. I am a conservative person, but the next person may not be. For me I will always respect another individual's choice. But for me, I find a nice man and get married to him. I believe in monogamy, but absolutely respect you if you think otherwise
The first 6 points are definitely me. Some people can have a family and do college all at once. Me, I can only focus on one thing at a time. In college, I didn’t have a job so I can focus on my studies. If I was working and studying, I would prioritize one or the other.
The saddest part about this is that so many women say this is perfectly fine yet women are the least happy that they have been in seventy years, the most likely to be diagnosed with depression and other anxiety based disorders etc. Clearly its not something they want otherwise women wouldn't be so miserable (and statistically women who are in traditional relationships are happier then those who are not).
Why are so many dudes saying sad when so many guys have sowed their oats and done fooled around. A woman has to want a relationship all the time? If women wanted that, few men would be getting no strings attached sex, but they do. And many guys are single because they don't want to settle down either.
Doesn't really bother me, I have an excessive list of requirements a woman has to meet before I'd even consider marriage. Including hundreds of prenuptial agreements. I'm breaking down all of my assets by item, don't want her attorney to try to use any loopholes to claim certain items werent covered.
So if millenial women dont want to get married, so be it, millennial men have a similar list, if not a longer one. 🤷♂️
Yep.. their priorities are a lot different for some women than they were 10-15 years ago. I think it's also that a lot of them grew up in families that involved divorce and they would rather wait and find the right one then marry the wrong one and go through that.
Pretty good except I can't relate to #7. Traditional family can suck it. I'd probably have to hang myself if I got trapped in one of those. I'd need someone who will travel and go on adventure with me.
Thats sweet, though its the same as it always has been. That is the one thing, the only thing that is a true bennifet of betting older. You get to see how much things change and how even though all these things change the core of who we are stays the same. Millenials will get married and split up just as much as any before them and after them.
I want to marry someone who I’m love with (who also loves me back). I just haven’t found anyone with whom the feeling was mutual. If we’re not on the same page romantically, I’d rather be single.
Not meeting the right man is valid. Wanting sex has never stop anyone from a relationship. Being a better person is bogus and advanced degrees don't go on your whole life. I am afraid your premise is incorrect. I don't see many single women. Most want a relationship or someone to come home to after a grueling day advancing your career, working to pay off your loan and so forth.
Then after you’re all used up and in your 30s, you realize your career is just a dumb job, you’re not as hot as you were in your 20s when you fucked everything with a pulse, you and your friends will go drink too much wine and wonder where all the good men have gone.
If a woman is saying those kinds of things, the reason she’s single is because she doesn’t have what it takes to be in a relationship. In relationships, your partner matters more than things like sex and money. The only exception is religion. That should matter be the most important thing in ones life, but nothing should come between religion and relationship.
The thing is if a woman doesn't have a career and a man leaves her.. what will she have? nothing. i think establishing a career prior to getting into a partnership is crucial for a woman
Your thinking is probably the biggest cause of young people getting divorced. That young love wears real thin when things get tough and the real world sets in. First the sex goes and then you go because you are just so tired of having nothing, barely able to keep food on a table.
All of those are just excuses minus "the right person" they don't prevent you from having a relationship unless you work for seven days a week with very little time to do things like clean house.

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 don't stop anyone from having a loving relationship.
Girls who claim those are their reasons are probably in denial about why they're single.
5 and 8 are legit reasons.

Simple

You have wisdom beyond your years. Let me guess, your parents are older Gen Xers...

I’m not saying nothing else matters.
Your thinking is probably the biggest cause of young people getting divorced. That young love wears real thin when things get tough and the real world sets in. First the sex goes and then you go because you are just so tired of having nothing, barely able to keep food on a table.
@katiesmuff I’d help and support her with everything, but I’d want to do it with her.
All of those are just excuses minus "the right person" they don't prevent you from having a relationship unless you work for seven days a week with very little time to do things like clean house.
You down vote because you know its true
Wtf are u talking about. I didn't down vote you calm tf down
Now I will down vote you
i wasn't talking to you, but lol
I think marriage has just became this thing people do because... everyone else does it. I don't see any practical purpose.
Thank you!!
