Social A record number of American 40-year-olds have never been married

[Denter]

Exactly. I'm 38, unmarried. It's easier for me to get women in their early to mid 20s now than it was when I was that age. I also can't believe the amount of pussy I'm turning down now. And I'm not Brad Pitt. But a guy isn't on the same clock as a woman.

A smart woman would cash in her chips in her early 20s with an older man that is stable and successful. These younger women don't want that though. They want the experience and comfort the money can provide but they either aren't interested in settling down yet or have no plans to every have kids and marry.

I went to an NYE party last night and saw a bunch of friends from college- most of the guys (4 out of 7) have no children. We are all around 40 years old.

One of the other married fathers recounted a story about holding his first child and having an intense flashback or daydream of his father holding him, and his grandfather holding his infant father, and so forth, all the way back to the beginning and remarked that it is really the only way we have to physical immortality. That kid is literally you thrown forward in time; it seems to me that the unmarried and childless, even if good people, tend to default to a kind of easy nihilism- the kind of "Oh we only live once, might as well stack up the experiences, have a lot of money" etc. But like the Buddha said, life is suffering, and if you want more life, you have to accept more suffering. I feel like this class of people are tired; in many ways, it wants to die; it is content to simply slip away, as nothing matters.

Where are all the right MAGA women who want to get married and have kids and stay at home. It seems like all these right wing losers could at least score at the Trump rally

Duh. Why would I marry a 40 year old?!

funny how all these beliefs are conveniently self-serving.
surely the universe has this amazing trick to sidestep all natural laws of decay and entropy, to allow Steve to cope with his mortality in a way that will help him go through life without screaming in fear too much.

Humans certainly achieve immortality through their progeny, as do all living things. One long unbroken line back to the first life.

When my first child was born I remember holding her and thinking of a line from Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, which was “it is, of course, a miracle”.
The point of that line was to emphasize that the character was experiencing something that had become routine, but was miraculous, two things that should not be possible to describe the same event, but that really is what the entire fertilization/gestation/birth cycle is. Every single person ever, and yet always something amazing.


Personally, between my wife and I about half our friends are clearly never going to have children, and I would not be surprised if the majority
of those never get married, and many will likely not end up with a partner at all. I’m older than her, but I don’t see any of our friends turning it around going into their mid 30’s.


It’s a pretty consistent narrative broadly, but of course every one is different in the specifics. Usually it’s something like, extended adolescence (your 20’s are not a time to do anything serious, roommates, rentals, dating, etc) followed by either not being able to then put it together in the 30’s (because the social system no longer exists) or everything falling apart then and there not being reasonable time to rebuild (your live in partner of 4 years and you seperate at 35, etc).

It’s really unfortunate seeing people’s lives stall out, but really it’s because they’re all foundering along without a plan to follow anymore, or their plan is missing a major dimension. And of course I could easily have been there as well, I was certainly on track to be in my early 20’s.

Fuck.... I've got to visit the land of the rising sun.


I'd like to see a deeper dive..... like percentages between man and women/racial division/dems & republicans.

People wanna know.

Who cares the less population the better for having more resources available.

The conundrum here for some is that they want less people in the planet but at the same time they are concerned that there aren’t enough full blooded white Americans being born.

They should just marry eachother

 

[BIKES!]

You think I've left women's rights behind?

I've had a trans friend cry to me about them being raped, but they weren't believed by friends. In fact they got beaten for this.

I got to side with JK Rowling and the other real women supporters of the world.

Gonna make a dating app for ugly 40+ people. Working on a name for it....

Thinking of something simple like "Settle"

 

[Protectandserve]

Never married also means never divorced, and never losing half of your assets in divorce

This. Getting married now is such a massive financial risk.

It's called a pre-nup. Yall act like there is one and only one way to do a marriage and the contract cannot be altered.

 

[Zazen]

lol at the incels here blaming everything but themselves. The same chuds who say women aren’t accountable. I swear you guys have become everything that you hate. Basically the equivalent of a feminist but in male form

 

[Zazen]

you're a decade late in this debate.

leftists don't bother with women's rights anymore, they've moved onto trans.

Ah yes because it’s the left that’s trying to ban contraceptives and saying shit like women should have never been able to vote.

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

I don't think we will ever recover from feminism.

100% people should be getting prenups. I lost so much fucking money when I got divorced like a decade ago. Took fucking forever to build it all back up.

Sorry to hear that man. On balance, was it worth it in the end? Not getting married, that's obvious, but the divorce.

 

[Zazen]

Not true because a 40 year old man can still procreate in ten years. That's your feminist conditioning talking.

A 50 year old doesn’t have the energy to take care of a baby, you’d be a senior citizen while your kid is still in grade school. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean that you should

Probably was worth it.
