Are you sure it's not because these women are usually stuck-up bitches that think they are smarter and better than everyone else and no self-respecting man wants to put up with them?
Sorry to break this up but I'm going to make a comment/rant about the first thing you said. First this post wasn't about people who "think" they are smarter. Although they too probably have some dating problems. Some smart women do come off bitchy. Some probably are bitches but stupid people can be just as bitchy. At least stuck up people have a educated reason for being rude rather than simply being ignorant. However, some smart people like to argue which can be misconstrued as being stuck up. Also some guys can be intimidated by smart girls. Note I said some not all. I think smart girls are more picky about who they want to be with. They think more about marriage and the future. They know what they need in a partner to make it work long term. That doesn't mean they want a guy who is rich and handsome. It could be weird stuff for example I want to be with a guy that grew up with sisters because I think that guys with sisters understand the female mind and emotions better.
I would agree that they may be more LIKELY to understand. But hell, I wouldn't know for certain. Do you think there have been any studies done on that?
I've seen a fair amount about this trend, but I think it's all been hypotheses. What you have are multiple trends at work, and I'm not convinced anyone really knows what's up. Firstly, does a college degree really make you more intelligent? Or just better at following orders and mindlessly regurgitating data?
The "educated" have been having fewer children and waiting longer to have them for awhile now. Also fewer men are going to college and more women are. So, are educated women not having kids by choice or because they can't find a suitable mate? If it's because they can't find a mate they think is worthy of them, is it because the women are pickier, or because there are fewer "educated" men today?
Also playing into the equation is the fact that traditional marriage has been under assault for many years, and hookups are much more common today than settling down in a two story house with a picket fence. Any sociology students here? This might make a great thesis project!
So what you're saying is that we're living in Idiocracy times now?
Traditional marriage has never been under assault. Hell, you want proof? They even let ME get married.
Yes.
I, and families like mine, split because being married "isn't cool".
Next you'll be telling me the Jews want to take Christmas from us because they're jealous that their holiday isn't as cool as ours...
I wasn't aware that you were one of the women this post was referring to.
You really need to give me your dealer's number 'cause you must be getting some really good shit!
Nowhere did I say anything even remotely close to "families split because it isn't cool." The people I was referring to, and I say the women this post is referring to, are not getting married or are getting married later in life. These people are not your average neighbors next door, unless you live in Greenwich Village or some other such liberal yuppy enclave.
Oh, so I guess once one gets married, they are immune to the societal pressures and attacks you're speaking of. Good to know.
And then there's poor lil smokey. Can't contribute anything worthwhile, but don't let that stop you from playing the role of cheerleader.

Yes, traditional marriage and the nuclear family have been under attack and are close to destroyed today.
