You and Poet need to get together and get your story straight. You're doing a good job of undermining each other.

Getting laid is not the same as finding a compatible mate.
reduce the pool of suitable partners
Finding a "suitable partner", as Steven pointed out, is never easy for anyone. Not uncommonly there are several tries. Many are never successful. And just by going to college, the supply is reduced. Generally the college-educated want college educated partners.
And not whine about it.
Oh, come now. If that wasn't a whine festival, what was it?
On a "60 Minutes" report on the book Sunday, Lesley Stahl talked to two young women who go to Harvard Business School. They agreed that while they are the perfect age to start families, it was not so easy to find the right mates.
Men, apparently, learn early to protect their eggshell egos from high-achieving women.
The girls said they hid the fact that they go to Harvard from guys they meet, because it's the kiss of death. "The H-bomb," they call it.
"As soon as you say Harvard Business School . . . that's the end of the conversation," Ani Vartanian said.
"As soon as the guys say, 'Oh, I go to Harvard Business School,' all the girls start falling into them."
So the moral of the story is, the more women accomplish, the more they have to sacrifice?
The problem here is not only that women are procrastinating too long, it is that men veer away from "challenging" women because they have an atavistic desire to be the superior force in a relationship. |
