What are they doing…? I am not talking about the women who had raucous wildlives and end up not married - they were doing something. What they were doing wasn’t good, but it was understandable. Like, I don’t think it’s good to be a pot dealer who hangs out on the block listening to his favorite tunes, getting high, hanging out, all day long, every day… But I know exactly why doing such a thing is desirable. I can at least understand it.

But decent looking spinster women… without social lives…

They’re gatekeepers to a much sought after product. They don’t run away to join a convent and dedicate themselves to God, they don’t even have a series of boyfriends they never marry and live some wild party life…

They just go to work, go home, meet a few female friends quietly a few times a month, consume 20 hours of TV a week… and maintain a small single bedroom apartment and die.

It’s offensive in an era of plummeting birth rates.

This isn’t even about “wamen shouldn’t have career; make baby!”

It’s about being a self-isolating shut-in who lets the world pass you by…

I am sure there are guys doing this, and it also irks me, but that’s another topic.

    Oh yeah this makes sense - a lot of guys out there are also not serious. They are burdened by overly negative views of marriage… Which isn’t difficult considering the legal complications that can arise from divorce, and just the mere fact that not every relationship is a dream come true.

      Well yea. I agree. I think it’s just easier for ppl to want to be alone rather then be in a relationship when they’ve reached that point you know?

      Point as in, ‘I’m done with the bullshit’

      I think men and women have been turned against eachother honestly. I can get into a whole thing. But I’ll spare you, and tell you that I blame modern feminism.
