I have dated and been in relationships, but I never really enjoy them. ???

I notice you mentioned beauty but nothing about love.

An escort service would serve all your needs.

There's a loooot of blanket generalizations here.

Something tells me that probably won't find what you're looking for with so many preconceived notions about people.

Funny how there was no hasty denial, though...

You guys are so in love with yourself and your goals, you had better stick to hookups. You don't have the emotional skills for more.

You're welcome.

I'll bet you are the KING of the "Hasty Denial":"No NO NO NO! You guys....c'mon...that's not true AT ALL!! stop being so MEAANNNN!!!"What a twit.

"it would be much better for your child to simply not have children. It's not fair to the child to only have one parent. Just my two cents."

Tell that to all the aging women who have loved, and had kids with guys who are into their "self fulfillment" who then divorce and leave them because "being a husband" gets in the way of their need for sexual conquests with young fit women. They can't just "turn of the drive" to "have and be seen with" young fit women, especially as they approach middle age. They "justify" cheating as the fault of the 'mother of their children's behavior", but, there is always another young "coachee" in the wings waiting for formerly successful male runners. The kids do get hurt, but it is the fathers with major running accolades, turned into careers, who can't quit the quest for trophies. Only if the male runner made major public Sponsor Money is there an effort for "keeping up appearances!" It isn't easy to give up judging women by age and weight, even when they are totally perfect "for their (older) age!"

Could be a troll, but there are plenty of self-obsessed women who think this way. These tend to become nuttier and nuttier as they get older.

Perfection is a high standard. You're not going to find it in human beings. Even if everything seems perfect momentarily, things and people change. Other generations used to figure this out and make allowances for it.

I've heard women get bitter as they begin to realize that men can play the game without a care for decades, then still settle down with a younger woman when they're ready for a family. Biology dictates that your choices are more constrained.

Don't do this to a poor child. It's popular with those your age to be obsessively egocentric, so you're not alone. The only good coming out of that millennial selfish bubble is that those hipsters are so self centered they don't tend to reproduce. That's probably best.

Stay away from children unless you do what pop pop suggested. Kids'll have quirks and flaws that you might not like. They'll change as they grow and mature. And sometimes as they go through their teen years, it seems like they'll never mature. One thing is sure. They won't be perfect.

You sound out of touch. I'm a 30 year old single guy who is not even remotely close to being a feminist, and even I was offended by much of what you said. It is not surprising at all that you are in agreement with that poster Pop Pop given the usual tone of his posts.

I love every poster that referenced what girl30 said completely took it out of context. You did this on purpose as a platform to project your bitter views towards women, because anyone can understand the difference between wanting a "perfect" mate, and wanting a mate that's "perfect for them." Y'all are so f'ing salty it's laughable.

Women are biologically programed to find a successful driven man, and make him work for her and her children instead of himself. It's their fantasy to turn an alpha male into a chump they can control and use.

Out of touch? More accurate would be that I understand the pervading culture of kids your age. And it's pathetic.

That's not to say that there are not good family men and women in their 20's and early 30's. Some of them are rock solid. They are in a distinct minority. Your generation is so narcissistic and immature that most are basically passing on the primary function of society - to produce a new generation.

The young males today act like boys into their 30's. And the females.... well, take a look at that post by the perfection-seeking woman. You guys have to dance their tune, and even then it will ultimately end because you're not good enough. Maybe that's why both the boys and the girls avoid marriage today, because you're not adults willing to act like men and women.

Men are men and women are women. Despite what they told you in your women studies class, you can't decide that the biological imperative to reproduce means nothing. Thousands of years of evolution and the hand of God made those realities. Fight against it all you want and all you do is make yourself miserable, alone and childless.

There's no bitterness here. Your lifetime of walking on eggshells is not something I'd find enjoyable, but if you want to be the New Age Male Feminist White Knight, that's your choice. I got married way back in another century. We never thought we were anything special, but we knew we'd stay married and raise children. Neither of us expected anything close to perfection in the other, just fidelity. We have worked on (or ignored) the rest.

To you and the rest of your generation: stop thinking you're so damned special.

You forgot one line.

"Now get off my lawn."

Lol I'm amazed they didn't start their comment with "Back in my day..."

Don't tell me you're a baby boomer calling a millenial self-centered.

The typical baby boomer who is always complaining about millenials, is against social causes and entities, and acquiring as many possessions as possible, instead of learing to share what they have. Sharing always feels better.. Their massive house, furniture, boat, cadillac (though I do those cadillac v-series) etc.

I dont think people tend to reproduce out of being selfless either.

"Now get off my lawn."

When I was younger, there were still a large number of WWII guys around. If they told me to get off their lawn, I would. They tended to command respect. They acted like men.

There's fewer and fewer left. The conversations I had with men and women of that generation (and those even older) were usually interesting, if you could just get them talking about themselves.

There's a town in suburban Chicago that has a famous zoo - Brookfield. The town was filled up with vets right after the war. I happened to be visiting in the early 90's when the old guys were starting to move on. One of the guys had been everywhere in the Pacific. As one of the other vets told me, "Harry won't tell you, but he won the Silver Star and was knee deep in the worst sheet those Jap b......s dished out. Most of the rest of us guys never fired our weapon in anger."

Harry had enlisted at 18. He married his wife before he shipped out and had only known her a month. He was still married. And clearly still happy with his wife 50 years later.

I had heard stories in the neighborhood like that when I was a kid. People would meet, know each other briefly, then get married. And stay married until they passed. Sometimes it was because the women got pregnant. But more often they were just ready to live adult lives.

This "soulmate" crap and "I have to find someone perfect for me" lunacy didn't drive these men and women. They were able to deal with an imperfect world without retreating to a safe space. If they had married someone else, they most likely would have still been happy and stayed married.

"Get off my lawn!" Nah. If your kids want to play on my lawn, they're welcome. Grow up and have some.

And there it is. Sadly, this is what's at the heart of most of your generation's incoherent personal philosophies.

The most natural and beautiful part of life is .................... "selfish".

Surely your dope smoking college professors and lefty high school teachers must be proud. They hammered it home enough. How many times in different classes did you watch "An Inconvenient Truth"?

Even if you never saw Gore's slapdash science, you imbibed the underlying premises that form the basis of millennial "thought".

-Men (especially those awful white heterosexual masculine ones) are bad.

-Humans are destroying the Earth.

-All Truth is relative.

-All cultures are equal in worth.

-There are no important differences between men and women.

From these, you been rendered unable to make judgments about good and evil, except of course that "judging" is bad and that bigots and intolerance are intolerable. And worse, because you deny human nature and the reality of the sexes, you severely decrease the chances of having a strong family.

In short, you don't grow up. Society is worse for your sad excuse of a world view.
