And arguing that women who don't have careers or aren't educated don't qualify as adults is stupid.
I didn't say they weren't adults -- I said I consider those important components of adulthood, however -- especially the job part. Admittedly, it was poor phrasing on my part and I probably should've labeled it differently.
A lack of those things I cited earlier shows, IMO, a lack of ambition and from my own personal experience seeing a couple of my friends, that is a dealbreaker. This obviously doesn't apply to me since I am married, but I never would've married a woman who had never lived on her own, never held a job, and didn't have a degree of some sort. I'm sure women see men with one or more of these traits as undesirable as well -- which, if you remember, was the original point.
Did you even read IndyColtsFan's post? No where is he making that point that "women who don't have careers or aren't educated don't qualify as adults". Rather, he is arguing that ALL people take into consideration traits like independence, drive, and intelligence when choosing life partners. By living at home too long you significantly limit your pool of people to chose from.
Correct, though I think rereading my comment, I should've phrased it a bit differently.
I have a former friend who has been married twice. Both times, the women were uneducated, didn't work and didn't want to work, and at least in one of the cases, didn't live on her own ever. He now has 5 kids total. I've known this guy for 16+ years and he is always broke, whining about money, etc, and all this could've been avoided with better choices in life.
