Feminism is definitely a huge part or probably most of the problem, but it goes beyond women being delusional sluts. Women have been convinced to be independent and career seeking. They chase both until the point of spinster or IVF required status. Oh and there's also the fact that 25% of youths consider themselves a part of the rainbow coalition. You can't date a guy if you're claiming to be a lesbian or at least are a female preferenced bisexual for street cred. Also, if you grow up in a broken home which more people are these days, you are less likely to desire a stable home as you have no clue what that is or how to maintain it.

Sounds to me your version of assimilation falls right in line with what Canada did with the residential schools for native people;

Exactly. Which is why I’m not really big on saying others need to “assimilate”

across the board, D's appear to be at the lowest approval point in more than 30 years according to two different polls conducted by CNN and NBC

https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/16/politics/cnn-poll-democrats/index.html

Democratic Party's favorability hits record lows in two polls after 2024 losses

As Democrats continues to recoup post-election, voters are expressing deep dissatisfaction with the party on the left.

www.usatoday.com

What I find most interesting is.. these polls were conducted BEFORE Schumer pushed to have the CR passed (working with R's to make that happen).. and that both before and after this occurred you still see the overwhelming majority of D leaders doubling down on all of the things that got them where they are in the first place (extreme left agendas, theatrics rather than substance, refusal to work with the other side or attempt to meet in the middle, etc etc)..

Youd think there would be at least a few smart D strategists walking the halls of the nations capital that understood how they got to where they are, the path they are currently on, and how its not helping.. that would be advocating a different approach..

As much as people are getting bent out of shape over some of the Trump administration's actions and are pointing to the mid terms claiming that all of this ends in less than 2 years because voters are going to be frustrated, D's will take back the house and/or the senate, etc..

I have to wonder if that "red wave" that everyone talked about in 2022 doesn't happen in November of 2026..

If the D's cant figure out to get the American people to see their party in a favorable light, the only D's left on the hill are going to be the ones from the most extreme left districts.. which frankly wont be enough to matter...

When NBC is telling us that only 27% of Americans see the D party favorably (and only 7% very favorably).. and CNN says 29% of Americans see the D party favorably.. and that 52% of D's say their party is taking the wrong approach to achieve its goals and objectives.. that should speak very loudly to their leadership..

This should also speak very loudly to the rest of the worlds leaders.. I wouldn't be placing any heavy bets on things "changing" as soon as the end of 2026.. it would appear there is a pretty strong chance that not only will things remain the same after the mid terms.. but that the current administration might be further emboldened..

It will be interesting to see if in coming weeks we see more Ilhan Omar, AOC, Pelosi, etc.. rantings and ravings.. or more from the more reserved and moderate D's...

I believe the counterpoint is "mass graves" where they randomly dumped bodies, versus piss-poor maintenance of graveyards where markers were lost or destroyed just like occurs all over America's small towns.

I'm not defending residential boarding schools, but the left really wants a narrative of mass burials ala the Holocaust to be the implication, yet it doesn't appear to be the truth. Thus, they are using inaccurate terms to create a false narrative.

The noted graves at the Saskatchewan school had been in control of the band for decades. So it’s not like they were a secret in any way, shape, or form. No one involved cared enough to look after them, Whites and Natives alike.

Exactly. Which is why I’m not really big on saying others need to “assimilate”

But they do need to or else your country ceases to be what it is. Refuse to assimilate those coming in and it shifts to their culture.

Californians have proven this to be true here in the states.

Move to America because you want to be American and adopt our culture and yes our languageor else I don't want you. That means no animal sacrifice, no panhandling or begging, cousin marriage, honor killings, child marriage, blasphemy or apostacy laws, burka's, poaching native wildlife or peoples pets, etc. You stand for the national anthem, follow our laws, respect our law enforcement and militaey, learn our history, vote, and take general pride in our freedoms. It has nothing to do with eating curry, polish sausage or sushi.

On Nov 1st (prior to the election).. the S&P was at 5728... today it closed at 5638...

all things considered we're not exactly in a bad place right now.. we're 90 points from where we were prior to the election..

Continuing to track this..

The S&P is now at 5694..

The DOW is at 41,964 right now.... on Nov 1 it was at 42,052..

So, while the market has been a pretty wild roller coaster since election day.. the markets are not really any better or worse than they were leading up to the election..

other major economic indicators that have been considered benchmarks to watch in the US such as consumer spending (has been up noticeably since November), manufacturing ($1.5T in new commitments to increase this in the US since November), etc appear to be moving positively..

consumables that people have been upset about such as gasoline and eggs are down in price...

inflation in February (measured by CPI) came in at 2.8% which was below projections..

We know that Bessent is working on the 10 yr issue and the housing markets appear to already be responding positively..

all while unemployment holds fast around the 4% mark..

Despite all of the hell raising about tariffs and how they're going to kill the US economy, how the erratic nature of Trumps negotiating style is going to kill the US economy, etc.. it would appear that things are chugging along pretty well right now.. and are continuing to move in the right direction..


I keep hearing how Trump is going to kill the middle class and he's just hooking up his billionaire buddies, but all of the above is FAR more relevant to the middle class and lower class households in the US.. if the typical working class or middle class guy can find a job, afford to buy a house, afford to buy food, and sees his 401K growing more often than he sees it shrinking.. he's typically pretty ok with the world..

Everything related to those main issues appears to be in steady state or improving.. not getting worse so far..

Even though I'm happily married, I'm a student of dating culture because I think it foretells the future of our country by looking carefully what Gen Y and Z are thinking and doing.

The reason people aren't breeding seems complicated, but at the end of the day its 4th wave feminism.

The causes go like this: Hypergamy exists at present where women are promiscuous and they may only be a 3-5 on a 10 point scale girl. They bed an 8 or 9 once and they delude themselves into thinking they are an 8 or a 9. Thus, they treat viable suitors as non-humans. Statistically, all the women are chasing the top-echelon of men. Add to this, women have always been attracted to successful men that make more than they do, but with DEI women are making higher wages which results in them having unattainable standards for men. In a recent study of women versus men on the Tinder, they found conclusively that women would swipe affirmatively on only the empirically most attractive men, whereas men would swipe affirmatively at a broad swath of women of various attractiveness. Not good.

There is a relevant internet meme about women "finding themselves" and then "ready to settle down". It's not a complimentary meme. Nothing becomes more valuable with use. We're ending up with a herd of women that do not know how to be wives, seek to compete rather than cooperate with men, and are only considering marriage (if ever) by the time they have geriatric pregnancies leading to smaller families.

This then leads to the other problem with marriage and family. What most men want is a supportive spouse and mother with traditional gender roles. Women of the of the younger generations do not know how to be spouses and mothers and they are also untrustworthy considering they file for divorce 80% of the time whereas men file only 20% of the time. Every element of a marriage contract for a man's role is contractually enforceable: A.) providing money, B.) Visitation / raising the children, C.) providing medical care, etc. Every element of the female's duties in a marriage is not contractual enforceable: A.) Sex, B.) Attention, C.) Pleasant, D.) Good homemaker, E.) Loving. Thus, many young men do not want to marry knowing they are likely to become divorced and pay dearly financially for it whereas the woman brings little to the table or believes they ARE the table through a sense of entitlement.

There's a popular dating podcast called the @whatever where they go around the room every episode and ask the women to rate their own looks. Virtually no woman gives an accurate appraisal and most say stupid things like a 10.5 on a 10 point scale. Almost all the men give accurate appraisals be it a 4 or a 6.

The problems have become so severe that they call it female delusion syndrome. There is a website you can go to and input the lists of demands a woman has in a potential partner. Without fail, most women list their non-negotiables and it results in them seeking the top, top 1/10th of 1% of all men.

All this stems from female promiscuity and hive mind thinking. If a slutty girl sleeps with one guy one time that is far above her class, she deludes herself into thinking she can MARRY a guy of those attributes which is never the case.

The birth rate started declining well before this generation. I’m 50 and a large percentage of my friends have chosen not to have children—at least when compared to previous generations. Financial and career were definitely a significant part of their decisions.

I also think your blanket statements of what men vs women desire aren’t completely on point. I certainly don’t want what you described from my spouse.

AOC & Bernie have arrived here in Colorado for an event. These two do not qualify as "smart D strategists". My wager is they will produce several meme worthy quotes.

 

[deewayne2003]

I would argue that most of the people that I know who don’t have children cite the lack of a safety net as one of the reasons not to have them. The expense of a raising kids including the cost of education is the biggest reason people I know choose not to have them. They can save for retirement and old age or have kids but not both in their minds.

Agreed, for people 40 and younger in the USA children are seen as a status symbol.

The only people I know actively trying to have children are those who were born into financial advantage or those who simply give no thought to how they will provide for the future of their children.

There is a relevant internet meme about women "finding themselves" and then "ready to settle down". It's not a complimentary meme. Nothing becomes more valuable with use.

@rookhawk You hit several nails square on the head, as a single man I can say that simply trying to date modern women can be insufferable......

Pre date Expenses - For you old timers out there that have been happily married for ages; what would you have said if your wife had asked you for "Pre date expenses" when you asked her out?

Where by she expected you to pay for her to have her hair and nails done before the date, Yes I assure you it's a real thing that some women try to pull.... this is also done to test how much money you have and how easy it will be to extract that money from you.

I've never paid predate expenses and never will, but I will say that I have been asked for a credit card on the second date!

Ghosting - Women that will agree to a date and exchange numbers and continue communicating up until time to meet and then will simply block you at the last minute.

Own or rent - A recent survey of my single male friends revealed that all 6 of us have been asked if we own or rent as a prerequisite to going on a date.

Sugar Daddy/Only Fans - Given the number of onlyfans accounts in the USA divided by population of women 18-45yo shows that 3% of the 18-45yo women in America are selling nude images and videos of themselves online..... Who doesn't want to marry someone who can be seen naked by the entire world for $5 a month?

Likewise the sugar daddy culture has taken off by means of apps and it's shockingly prevalent.

I dated a 25yo in Austin for 3 months that was a grad student, officer in her sorority and came from wealthy parents who paid for all her expenses.... Which made it shocking to find out that she had a 60yo sugar daddy that was paying her a monthly "Allowance" in exchange for her affection.

I confronted her about it when I found out and she explained that while her parents, paid for all her expenses they were unwilling to pay for her Louis Vuitton purses or the Brazilian butt lift she wanted; and beside......"It's no big deal everybody is doing it"

It is also hard if you are part of the younger generation and put off having children until you owned a home and felt you were financially secure enough to have children to find a mate with the same values. Your left with dealing with the fallout of other people’s poor life decisions and having a mixed home anyway or simply walking away from the whole mess all together. Call me old fashioned but all those who reside under my roof will carry my name.

Yep, I put off having kids because I didn't want to have children grow up in the same instability that I did(even with 2 working parents); now I'm in the land of single mothers.

Single mothers are not looking for a husband, their looking for a paycheck and someone to help raise the child of the absentee father that they endlessly complain about.

GOD help you if you ask her why she decided to have a child with a man that is as horrible as she describes......

 

[rookhawk]

Yeah--bring on more of this kind of analysis. When I started dating it was, meet, hold hands, then date/kiss, then go steady, then consider engagement then get married and have children.
Now, it's hook up, have sex to see if you get along, then live together, then have children, maybe get married, often after the second child.

The modern era cannot handle double standards, but men and women are different and are held to different standards due to biology. I'm not justifying promiscuity, but men can be promiscuous, stacking up women like cordwood and then settle down with a woman for the rest of his life. Women struggle to pair bond after promiscuity and it results in making the male partner completely disposable. Woman by evolutionary necessity get over the loss of a partner rather easily and move on from relationships with great ease. Men typically are the opposite. If a woman has been promiscuous their pair bonding that was already lessor than a man is totally wiped out.

This is why the female delusion problem is so serious today. Virtually all women have an inaccurate appraisal of their looks and worth in the sexual marketplace. They get together with other women that delude one another (the hive mind) and like a committee meeting, they all decide they can do better and should divorce their men if they have any, or they should hold out for a "high value man" because they "know their worth".

Sadly, women do not know their worth nor do they even know what men want. They think men want a woman with wealth, power, and a successful career. Generally, men want a demure woman that is cooperative, perceives his needs before he even realizes it, is nurturing to children, and is content to be a wife.

A couple years ago I was at a dinner party. The hostess was a beautiful 6' tall blonde that lived in a multimillion dollar home, was a homemaker, had beautiful children, and her husband was an easy-going top earning surgeon. She stated she wanted to divert attention from her home/spouse/children to start up a business so she "could have her OWN money". <- That's a modern woman for you right there. She isn't content with a million dollar a year family income and the privilege of being able to raise wonderful children in a wonderful life, she'd rather half-ass her obligations to have a trivial rounding-error of nothing salary so he can show up her husband.

The modern woman is incredibly destructive and delusional, on the average. That is why men are opting out of marriage and children. Most men cannot compete in the current dating marketplace and they do not want the sloppy seconds of promiscuous girls that are 35, set in their ways, with loads of emotional and sexual baggage.

 

[deewayne2003]

But maybe don't post so confidentally about 751 bodies being found when not a single body has been exhumed. It's exactly the type of thing they want to happen for their benefit.

I watched the beginning of a not so compelling video on the topic of one of these schools and the evidence was in short, a first hand account of a younger boy being told by an older boy not to go down to the orchard at night because there were holes down there. Clearly evidence of mass slaughter and definitely not a kid being messed with or simple juvenile rumor mill.

Right .... because there are bodies yet to be exhumed from the bottom of Pearl harbor aboard the Arizona, so no need to pay any respects to the men that remain there; better take down those name plaques as the remains of each man hasn't been removed and identified personally.

Can't wait to tell my great aunt that the Arizona is NOT a war grave because her brothers body was never exhumed and individually identified, I'm sure she will be relieved, I mean she only knows what allegedly happened because someone told her about it when she was a kid......

Probably a juvenile rumor mill thing.

 

[LivingTheDream]

now I'm in the land of single mothers.

The problem with dating single moms is the kid is way cooler than mom. They like to go fishing, and to baseball games, and driving off road and playing boardwalk arcade games. Makes it tough when it ends though.

Being a dad is awesome, it exhausting and expensive but I wouldnt trade a second of it for anything, I really don't understand people who don't want to have kids.

The auto pen arguments will go nowhere. The pardon for any crime you may have committed before charged is a much better argument

A legal question to you. What about the autopen pardons in DC when Biden was in the Caribbean. Does that make a difference.

Since you're in the dating scene, might I give you a bit of older guy advice?

Use eHarmony. Spend a LOT of time on your profile. Get a coach to help you design your profile to intrigue the women. There are 3 women for every 2 men, so statistically from the start you are going to "marry up". Women are hedonistic and will swipe for only the 9s and 10s on Tinder, so you're out competed. How do you beat them at their own game? Women get their lust going from the love letter, it's worked since Victorian times. eHarmony is structured for guided communications. As you reveal more about each other, the women are DYING to meet you in person and are already totally rev'd up about you because it laid a foundation of interest before the first date. This is how come you see knockout 60 year old women married to ugly men, the guys were able to build the ties by using the written form to tie the hearts of a woman like a harlequin romance novel. Getting women to like you is easier than wading through all of them to find a quality one, that's where it becomes a serious numbers game with a strategy about how you portray yourself accurately but cleverly on a dating site.

Then date at least 2-3 women a week. On your first or second date, hit them with heavy questions so you can get rid of the bad ones without spending any more money. I asked my wife on first date "how would you feel about being a stay at home mother?". Any woman that said hell no to that question got ghosted by me instantly. I broke a LOT of hearts on eHarmony because I had the system nailed and I knew the algorithm to get 7 matches a day and i was speaking to dozens of women at a go. But I found a wife in 6 months that was a "Trad wife" in an otherwise bleak modern world.

I helped a friend on this forum do this very thing recently. He's going steady with a woman 8 years his younger after only two weeks using eHarmony.

eHarmony advertises as a site for committed relationships, therefore you get maybe 5%-10% quality women versus perhaps 1:1000 on tinder, at bars, nightclubs, etc.

 

[Fastrig]

A legal question to you. What about the autopen pardons in DC when Biden was in the Caribbean. Does that make a difference.

Been watching that pretty closely....have listened to a number of legal types, I'm not one of those, that say the autopen pardons are probably not going to stand if challenged since "the President" must grant the pardon and there is no way to verify that he did so in this case....will be interesting to watch. Read that Hunter's pardon has a physical signature, that seems a bit curious.......

I suspect they will withstand challenges. Any attempt to revoke them will be aggressively appealed, and it is unlikely that any court through SCOTUS will be eager to dilute in any form the President's absolute right to issue pardons and commutations.

Good advice, but there are limitations and many have to do with age difference between you and I.

I did eharmony years ago and it was like having a second job, I never had a problem with getting matched. The problem was the AVALACHE of broke single mothers and filtering through them.

I am not a wealthy man but have lived a minimalist life and had a decent career before covid, I've only owned 2 vehicles in the last 23 years and if I'm going to spend money it's going to be on travel, guns & hunting..... and per your female delusion calculator I'm in the top 0.33% of the male population for my height, ethnicity, income & age bracket.

The eharmony thing became such a joke at one point we turned it into office entertainment by displaying the matches and messages I got with my honest profile and then we switched to entertainment mode.

I put on my good watch and one of my suits and we took my picture next to my bosses Aston Martin, then of me dressed casually grilling beside the pool of my bosses lake front mansion and finally me fishing from the back of a friends LARGE boat.

My god how the high end P*&%Y and broke moms both came out of the wood work and in ultra aggressive fashion!

Probably a juvenile rumor mill thing.

Or you could not get emotional and post a ridiculous, offensive comment and realize that I told you to research your original post for a reason.

Those 215 bodies could simply be a septic drain field. There has been $7 million allocated for the exhumation of these supposed victims yet not a dollar spent or shovel of dirt removed.

Then you post the same thing where nobody has removed a single body.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I definitely won't put faith into such an accusation in the face of zero evidence.

The Kamloops ‘Discovery’: A Fact-Check Two Years Later

TWO YEARS AFTER the claim rocked the world that “the remains of 215 children” had been found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, we know much more than we did at the time.

www.dorchesterreview.ca

"Probably the most important thing we now know about Kamloops is that 2,000 linear feet of trenches about 3 feet deep lined with clay tiles and running east-west were dug in 1924 as a septic field to dispose of the school’s sewage. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) cannot distinguish between a trench lined with clay tiles and a putative child’s grave. The GPR profile is very similar.

Unfortunately Dr. Sarah Beaulieu, Assistant Professor of Social, Cultural & Media Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley, didn’t know about the 1924 septic field when she did her GPR work at the former residential school as she hadn’t done the necessary archival research beforehand. She thus mistook the old septic field trenches for shallow children’s graves, and the fact that they ran east-west for proof that they were Christian burials.

Nor did Dr. Beaulieu know that from 1991 to 2005 Dr. George Nicholas developed and directed Simon Fraser University's Indigenous Archaeology Program on the Kamloops Indian Reserve in conjunction with the Kamloops Band. As a result, after initially claiming to the Kamloops Band in late May that she had found 215 children’s graves, Dr. Beaulieu had to revise that number down to 200 in her public presentation on July 15 because some of her GPR “hits” were actually the shovel test pits which had been dug by Dr. Nicholas during his archaeological work near the former residential school.

It also appears Dr. Beaulieu did not know that the Kamloops Band has a large and very old community cemetery on the other side of the Reserve at the historic St Joseph’s Church. There would thus never have been a cemetery at the residential school. Band members are still buried in that old cemetery at St Joseph’s Church to this day.

Dr. Beaulieu apparently also did not know that the alleged juvenile tooth which Dr. Nicholas found during his earlier archaeological work had turned out, on analysis, to be non-human, or that the alleged juvenile rib bone ostensibly picked up by a tourist on the site years earlier had never been analyzed, and had apparently disappeared. At her 15 July 2021 presentation, Dr. Beaulieu mentioned the juvenile tooth and rib bone as proof that she had found children’s graves, and unfortunately she has never publicly retracted that error."

Good advice, but there are limitations and many have to do with age difference between you and I.

I did eharmony years ago and it was like having a second job, I never had a problem with getting matched. The problem was the AVALACHE of broke single mothers and filtering through them.

I am not a wealthy man but have lived a minimalist life and had a decent career before covid, I've only owned 2 vehicles in the last 23 years and if I'm going to spend money it's going to be on travel, guns & hunting..... and per your female delusion calculator I'm in the top 0.33% of the male population for my height, ethnicity, income & age bracket.

The eharmony thing became such a joke at one point we turned it into office entertainment by displaying the matches and messages I got with my honest profile and then we switched to entertainment mode.

I put on my good watch and one of my suits and we took my picture next to my bosses Aston Martin, then of me dressed casually grilling beside the pool of my bosses lake front mansion and finally me fishing from the back of a friends LARGE boat.

My god how the high end P*&%Y and broke moms both came out of the wood work and in ultra aggressive fashion!

Its true, you have to wade through lots of bad women in any venue of the dating scene. You also need to date younger women with less baggage. Never forget, a woman hits her peak value in the sexual marketplace around age 22-26, a man hits his peak at around age 45-52. Women want that bulge in your pants...back of the pants, right side.
