Last night, I read this post with some interest. It's something I've observed in my own life. My daughter is an attractive, almost-20-year-old who keeps herself in great physical condition through working out, Pilates, and yoga. She attends college to become a nurse and is a Christian who regularly goes to church. In the past, this kind of woman would have been exactly what a man was looking for. Today, I'm not sure at all what many young men are seeking. She gets many dates—I'll use that term loosely. They don't really plan proper dates. They want to walk around, spend as little money as possible, and then expect a woman to 'owe' them something. For women who refuse to 'pay out,' there is no second call. The other kind of man just wants to text incessantly for weeks and FaceTime for hours, then never follows through. It's so frustrating for young women. At least this post confirmed it's not just my daughter and her (very lovely) friends who experience this.
Speaking with my 30-year-old friend, who is beautiful, kind, fun & faithful (and also a newly minted doctor!)…I’m so discouraged for her.

She wants to get married & start a family, but continues to go on dates & get ghosted! Even after a lot of texts & several dates. I’m at a… pic.twitter.com/peDfe0AW6y
I agree our society has long been too hard on young men, particularly in the last decade or so. They were told they were worthless, dispensable, and the castoffs of society. That led many of them to find online personalities who brought out the worst in them. They've been told to be cruel to women, to see them as objects, and to pay them no respect. They've been sold the idea that the worse they treat women, the more women will long to be with them. They believe nice guys finish last and that men who treat women warmly are rubes.
Here’s what’s happening. She goes on dates with CHADS who are more attractive than her & gets ghosted after sex. The good guys give her the ick because they’re not attractive enough. She then tells friends that it’s those “bad” guys’ fault rather than accepting responsibility. https://t.co/Nnj0E9G5Ka

I'm going to hold your hand when I say this. Your friend is dating our of her league. The men she is going for have so many options that they are willing to sleep with her but NOT commit because they can have a new girl by tomorrow. Accolades and degrees do not attract men the…

Most of my colleagues are multimillionaires, as am I. None of us waste time with female professionals. Doctor or a lawyer? Hard pass.

Unless we want medical advice or we need a doctor as an expert witness for something, we don't spend time with doctors, let alone date female…
Many of the comments prove the point. Oof.
It’s one part immaturity on the part of men, and one part women being man-like in their promiscuity.

When a man can bed a different woman 5 nights a week, what’s the incentive to settle down with one?
Which brings us back to immaturity of too many men.
And round we go…
Maybe it's time to return to arranged marriages, after all. What a mess. I'm thankful my son was able to find a good prospective wife, and he will be 26 when he marries. These days, a good match is not easy to find. Our society has swung the pendulum so far the wrong way that it may take many years to get it back—if it can be at all.
Let us encourage our children to desire marriage and to offer respect to one another. Family is the backbone of our society, and it's entirely necessary that we restore its good name.
