The men really aren't there

"Believe it or not, ladies, the situation appears to be getting bleaker.

"Women now comprise 57 percent of all college graduates in the United States. Among Hispanics, the gender gap is even greater — only 40 percent of college graduates are male. Among blacks, two women earn bachelor's degrees for every man."

It's great that so many women are getting a college education. I can't wait to heard the crashing sound of women breaking through the glass ceiling. :cool:

*Sigh* Not surprising.

You ain't saying anything we don't already know Fuzzie! *shaking my head*

That's why so many black women who have reached a certain economic level stay single. Just not enough black men in the pool. I don't set racial limitations, or I would never date, lol.

Thanks for the link Fuzzie.
You know, articles like this one really piss me off. Rather than being a "hey, women are really excelling, good for them!" it's a total alarmist p.o.s.

"Oooh, being educated means you can't get a husband, ladies you'd better started getting worried. Maybe you shouldn't do too well in your class, it might make that potential (and less intelligent) boyfriend insecure and then he won't go out with you. "

:::stepping off soapbox:::

Give me a break!!
 

:rolleyes: This article reminds me of some narration from the History Channel special, The Fifties: "By 1955, 50% of women had dropped out of college, either to marry, or to avoid acquiring knowledge that might frighten men."

The thing that irks me is the implication that if a man didn't go to college it makes him stupid. Mr. 33 did not go to "regular" college (he went to the Art Institute, after going to UPJ for a semester and hating it) and he's so smart he scares me. A lot of his musician friends never went to college either, and they're some of the wittiest, most intelligent people I know.

I'll just say hey - if you are one of those snobby chicks who won't date a man without a college degree, you get what you deserve. :p

33girl, my daughter's formal date (What a cutie) really wants to be a HS coach... That's ALL he's EVER wanted. He told her he "can't" be a coach because he wouldn't earn enough money to give his family all the things he wants to. Hedoesn'twant his wife to HAVE to work as his mother was a "stay at home mom".

Isn't it so sad that our economics are so screwed up that choices and attitudes like these these even exist?

Fuzzie, was that YOU in those pictures? How darling everyone looked!!!

Which pics?

I think JAM is talking about our Pgh GC gathering pics - that was just plain "fuzzie" not "FuzzieAlum." ;)

JAM, thanks for the compliment (does that include George? :D).

I think it is great so many women are going through school and excelling, screw guys if they can't take it, or us for that matter. someone didn't invent the good old vibrator for no reason....:p

CTFU. You went there.
:p

ctfu?:confused:

CTFU: cracking the f@*& up.

haha thats great...i'll have to remember that:D

CTFU at this
 

Ha ha..yes yes the good ol' vibrator. You women are so "liberated" as soon as you start discussing how the "magic wand" has made men useless. In the meantime, I think that if ovens came with breasts (snacktrays as I prefer to call them), women would be made useless. My comment is almost as ridiculous as yours.
