Why women aren’t getting married...
- Women keep giving husband privileges to boyfriends. A boyfriend does not, and will never, deserve the gift of continuing his legacy through your womb. Cohabitation ain’t working in the best interest for women either...but if you must, have a timeline for marriage & stick to it or leave.
- Women need to learn when to leave a dead end relationship & stop wasting their own damn time.
I agree with what you said except that the last two bullet points make it look like deadbeat/non-commital brehs are the woman's only obstacle to getting a ring. I am married almost a decade now (to a BW and I am BM) and we often discuss the failings of our still single friends. From the girl angle:
1. Too many women are looking for men that don't exist or have trouble ditching childish ideals. My wife had a couple of friends she tried to hook up with good professional brehs we know. Among the responses: "he's too nice", "I like light skinned, curly hair guys". We are in our late 30s. If you truly want a marriage and family you need to straighten your priorities first.
2. Don't try to get married too young. Pressuring a breh to commit in his early 20s is rarely a good proposition. If you are that desperate to get married that early, date someone older.
3. Let a man be a man in the relationship. I don't mean let him walk over you, beat you, disrespect you, etc. but ladies attract gentlemen. If you love someone, you help them and plan together, don't harangue him all the time for supposed shortfalls, especially if you make more than him. Your professional accomplishments don't give you ground for a superiority complex.
4. Our society isn't equal and a lot of women tend to try to hop dikks until right up to their sell by date. Men can do that since we don't have the societal and biological issues as we go into our 30s. Not fair, but the way it is.
We have professional BW friends wanting to just get dikked down until their clock starts ticking and then they have to filter the men to find good ones, get in a relationship, make it serious, etc. One of the reasons my wife and I won is we stopped playing the game when we know we had a good thing.
5. Over-prioritizing career. Nothing wrong with doing good at work but that company could cut you loose tomorrow and you have nothing but the money you saved. Never sacrifice your social life or it becomes a habit and then an addiction. These are the people alone bragging about they reply to all 300 emails every day.
6. Wasting prime opportunities to meet someone. Going back to school (which is more typical now) is a prime time to meet someone. A lot of people waste this unfortunately.
7. Be feminine, at least sometimes. Not saying you have to throw on makeup in the morning while he's still sleep but I don't buy the argument that people are too busy to learn how to cook basic meals or dress nice every now and then. Slumming it, letting yourself go, only ordering takeout is not just unhealthy, it isn't appealing to a lot of dudes. Women that appeal to a man's eyes and stomachs stand a better chance. I'm not being judgmental just telling you the deal.
