Guys, can you honestly say you chose the right woman in this generation?

Well, first, I doubt that there is only one right woman. There are no doubt quite a few women out there who would have been great life partners for you. But unfortunately, we can't have everything (or everyone) and so we have to make certain choices in life. We can keep deferring commitment hoping that someone better will come along, but if you do that you risk deferring your commitment into ripe old age and then departing this world without ever having met the person of your dreams.

There's an old story about a man who just couldn't seem to find the "right" woman for him. He eventually consulted a wise sage, and asked him, "When will I meet the girl who is meant for me?" The sage replied, "You actually met her several years ago but rejected her because you thought her nose was too big! She has since married someone else.:"

What I can say for myself is that I married a (not "the") right woman for me! We have no interests in common, but we have been married 55 years and counting, and we have three wonderful daughters. She has been there for me through good times and evil times, and she knows that I will always be there for her. What we do have is common values. (She also has great legs and a laugh that could cause an earthquake!) I would not trade her for a whole busload of fashion models!

Haruki Murakami. A young man and woman meet each other, their 100% perfect partners, separate by happenstance, meet each other years later but by then their minds had closed, their hearts hardened.

I think that's a big part of the issue. People grow jaundiced, a rational reaction to a lived experience of disappointment, neglect, betrayal and relationship failure. They no longer hold the hopes and dreams and fantasies they had when they were young. They come to approach romance as thought driven, rather than heart driven. And it is the hardest thing in the world to reverse.

"They passed each other in the very center of the street. The faintest gleam of their
lost memories glimmered for the briefest moment in their hearts. Each felt a rumbling in their chest.

And they knew:
She is the 100% perfect girl for me.
He is the 100% perfect boy for me.

But the glow of their memories was far too weak, and their thoughts no longer had the
clarity of fourteen years earlier. Without a word, they passed each other, disappearing into the crowd. Forever."

Some men are lucky enough to find their ride or die, but I have had no such luck as of yet. I'm keeping my head up though. I have hope I'll eventually find the one for me.

Some guys do, presumably

I think thay choosing women is obsolete. I can't imagine having some woman around all the time. Women don't really want to spend their time with a man anyway. They want a couple of children. Then the ditch the man and let the government help them raise those children. Sperms is the objective here , something a man's body produces and they can harvest for their own use.

Thats true for mine and your generation and might be true for ghetto skanks still today and gold diggers, hell it happened to me. But if you look at statistics in western or developed nations (so basically all feminist ones) the birth rates of gen Z are below replacement level IN ALL OF THEM when corrected for immigrants new/1st gen (depending on how the government counts those) having kids with each-other.

They are chasing careers, on birth control, all fucking or chasing the same top 3 percent of guys or in their lesbian or depressed alpha widow stage.

Speaking of lesbians, for gen z women its a statistical indicator that they’re more likely to have kids. This timeline is cooked

This has not been my experience.

No. Honestly I cannot say that. In fact that is a big reason I'm single. Unlike most women I can admit I do not make very good choices when it comes to the opposite gender. That is why like Joshua in the movie "War games". I learned the only way to win this game is not to play it.😆

[CalmUntilAbused]

When I find a good woman in this generation, I will say it. The chances of this happening are about 1%, though, and it's an optimistic estimate. 😄

Stupid question. Why should potential love belong in a certain generation?

@kawaii_banana I get a banana when I see a woman in a bikini

[Gobbyjobby52]

Still waiting for her.

[realbiggrin]

I can, to bad she doesn't know it.

[ChicoFromThe305]

It's a mistake I don't want to make

[genericname85]

Yes. I'm single by the way.
