Touchy, touchy ground. I'll try my best to hop the barbed wire and tiptoe around the landmines...
Or not. American women are great...if they're older than about 27. Most women, though, are married before that age. The problem is not with biology or education or equal rights or even American males, it's with American culture. Our rights are equal, but our perceptions are not.
Our media tells young women to dress like whores, have daddy buy worthless $hit, flirt with all the boys, and go to college. While not necessarily bad (especially for horny young males) it's very short-sighted and incredibly irresponsible. Even worse is the crap that's on primetime!
Most people say and like to think that females mature more quickly than males. I never bought that line of crap. We mature differently, but one gender is not quicker than another. Lets look at some key components of a marriage: responsibility and dedication. Generally, males are introduced to both things much earlier in life than women. Why? It's that 'man of the house' rhetoric. "Gotta be the man and work" and do other breadwinner's tasks. Young women work too, but not for the same reasons, and aren't necessarily expected to be on their own as soon as males. Parents don't want their daughters to work hard, but they don't want them shooting out babies anymore, either.
Many women never take advantage of the rights gained by their predecessors. Another media-inspired fantasy: women go to college to get their Mrs. degree, and truly become whores--sucking some lawyer's cock and doing menial tasks in exchange for a wedding ring and the lawyer's income.
But there's more. Disney and other jackasses feed children overly-romantic tales about love and marriage that have nothing to do with actual marriage. Marriage is work, I'm afraid, and the movie should not end at "you may now kiss the bride". American culture is incredibly romanticized. "Only one man can save the world, and he gets the girl, and they love each other, uhh, ummm, the end! Buy Pepsi!"
So many young women end up being someone not worth marrying. For most of the guys on this board, the ideal woman has a job, has a mind, would love them, would not smother them, is not a former 'princess', and does not have stretch marks around her mouth. Young women, moreso than young men, need a dose of reality and a clear look at life beyond their twenties.
Keep in mind, ladies, that most of the women who would post on this board are not who I described above. And don't get me started on men.
