Default Re: Where have they gone?

Well quite frankly I couldn't be ar$ed to read the entire article ... just the beginning, a bit in the middle, and the last few paragraphs ... so large pinch of salt required with this:

Think you also have to consider the flip side of all this (and I'm not sure if this woman has mentioned it or not), but a lot of 30-something males (to which she refers) have also already done the marriage, kids, commitment thing and been STUNG (divorce and maintenance ain't cheap! Trust me, I know!).

With that in mind, I think many 30-something guys are probably a LOT more reluctant to then go and do the whole thing all over again and risk being stung for yet more divorce lawyers, and maintenance costs (and possibly another child or children he never gets to see).

There's only so much that some guys can take ... and when you're PS2/PS3 only requires the odd ?40 spending on it (for a game) to keep you occupied for several weeks/months, and that flat screen TV has a TCO* considerably lower than ANY woman, and it's easy to see why we appear to be regressing to "console-playing reclusive boys" as opposed to "most eligible bachelor" material

BTW, I am neither a console-playing boy, nor a recluse (although it feels like my SV is these days )

My $0.02 worth FWIW (for what its worth for the anti-text/chat-spk leaguers)
