...And chances are these women met at least 10 "mister rights" over the last 20 years and are too stupid to pull their heads out of their butts and realize it.

Ugh, why do you care if women make a choice that they'd rather be alone than with someone just to have a husband/boyfriend? Women have to be picky cause guys really aren't.

Well, first of all you probably didn't bother to read the headline, otherwise you would have noticed it said they were freezing their eggs in hopes of meeting Mr. Right. Now I guess if Mr. Right is a turkey baster then yeah, they are making a choice to be alone.
And secondly, Guy's aren't picky because they don't have unrealistic expectations unlike the vast majority of American Women. And It's not just me that's saying that, it's nearly every single guy you will meet who has had the unfortunately experience of being in a relationship with a woman who expects the guy to bend over backwards for them.

The whole idea of a "Mr. Right" is ridiculous in the first place. The belief is just giving these women some sort of terrible reason to not get married and to "be progressive." However, it's not very progressive when the entire point of your existence is procreation and continuing life. (I am not saying it's the entire point of a womans existence to procreate, I'm saying the entire point of anyones existence is to procreate).

I think humans are smart enough not to be constrained by biological necessity. If someone wants to wait, why the f**k do you care?
arizonaicedteaJun 28, 2010
Things deemed "important" are just part of a value system constructed by human reasoning. Other than a biological urge there's no reason why procreating is something you should or shouldn't do. What about the cycle of life and death makes the act of breeding "important" to a human? If you can recognize that your gut desire to reproduce is just a biological construct to ensure the survival of our species, then you can reproduce based on your own values and reasons for reproducing, not just because your body tells you to.

That's a pretty huge "other than" :)

drahgon55 speak for yourself. Some of us have more self-control than others. If you can't control yourself its a personal problem.
There's good reason to wait to have kids and there's good reason not to have kids at all.
schroederJun 28, 2010
There is no "point" to life. People have just happened to find that they are alive and do with it what they will. Procreation is a biological urge, not necessarily a purpose. The point of an animal is not to procreate. They contribute to the ecosystem through population, but you are saying that nature works through reason. Nature is the balance of the living which ends up equalizing itself through genetics, evolution and extinction. The reason an animal is there is not to procreate, if it does its species continues, if not it becomes extinct. The animal is there because it has come to be, no more, no less. If other animals depend on this animal, they live, die, or adapt accordingly. Is a non-procreating human or animal pointless?
mal7798Jun 28, 2010
And if one does procreate, one's lineage of descendants will eventually lead to several dead ends in which said descendants just "took up space for 50-70 years" (e.g. instead of one worthless non-breeder, it's 1,024 worthless g-g-g-g-g-g-g-great-grandchildren non-breeders). So each living thing is born with the duty of propagating one's genetic material in order to compete with the available resources of the planet? I don't buy that.
One of the most selfish and arrogant things that a human being can do is to propagate just for propagation's sake. Animals don't know an better. If you have a purpose, and you have the resources, go right ahead. But breeding to give your life meaning is getting the cart before the horse. Brilliant post, Schroeder--I wish I could digg it more than once.
punkazz189Jun 29, 2010
But the whole belief of this particular argument is that worthwhile people have kids instead of *waiting for mister right* because a terrible incident (Like a global crisis or war or blah blah blah) happens and then those worthwhile people have worthwhile children who can take over instead of NOT having worthwhile children and allowing the earth to be consumed by degenerate mother f**kers and blow the s**t up. Theres a lot of unexplained reasoning behind much of what I have said previously.

darkphenoxJun 28, 2010
People who are looking for Mr/Ms Right in there late 30s have way too high standards, unless they are a widow/widower or were recently divorced. People need to realize that you there is not necessarily a check list for the perfect mate.
cmiycJun 28, 2010
Or they need to expand their process for looking. There is nothing wrong with having an ideal check list. The issue is that most people do not go out of their way or comfort level to find people who match that list. Instead, they look inside their social circle and wonder why the right person never comes along.

I've known a few people like this. A couple of my sister's friends complain about all the rotten guys they meet. But they meet them all at the exact same bars or through the exact same friends. And then wonder why they keep ending up with, basically, the exact same loser.
(Yes I know "exact same" is redundant, or should at least be written "exactly the same." I just don't care.)

Mr Right is either gay, or not attracted to post-menopausal, dried-up, child-obsessed, career-obsessed, bitter old women.

Sorry to tell you, but you probably rejected Mr. Right(s) in favor for the latin dance teacher who rides a harley.
I know I'm just speaking for me here, but from my experience, American women tend to have s**tty attitudes toward relationships. I'm no longer in the states and being an expat has opened my eyes to the fact that American women are really entitled because TV and movies have told them to expect all this s**t that men really don't want to do.
Canadian girls are way more chilled out and sweet.
Again, just from my experience.

Foreign girls aren't quite as hung up on looks either. If you're a nerdy, skinny guy they won't even give you a second look in U.S. You have a better chance if you're a jacked up douche with a tribal tattoo. Depends on the girl, but decent humble girls are few and far between. They've been crowded out by attention craving whores who try to live like they are some princess.

My last name is "Right", I'll be happy to fertilize their eggs for them. Nah, just kidding - about my last name; I'll still fertilize their eggs for them, though.

I may not be Mr. Right, but I will bang you until he shows up.

They call that "Mr. Right Now".

I can just imagine that moment. You have found Mr. Right. You are out for an intimate candle light dinner. You are going to tell him... "I've saved my eggs for you!" He'll be so pleased!
homietheclownJun 28, 2010
If I ever dated a woman who had frozen her eggs and wanted me to be "Mr Right" I would haul her ass to the nearest mental institute and then run as far away as possible because that biatch is one psychotic woman.

I hope they take them out of their bodies first. I mean, I've heard of frigid women, but this is a bit over the top..
ascusJun 28, 2010
Why would a Mr. Right settle for a post 30 y/o woman. Mr. Rights can get much younger women that don't need frozen eggs.
I see this more an option for Cougar types that do not need a mans wealth and looking more of donor than husband.
frequentflyerJun 28, 2010
Ladies, if you are in your late 30's and not married, you are probably un-marry-able. Quit making excuses for your marital status by saying there are no good guys out there. Instead, you should point your finger back at yourself.
ishqboliJun 28, 2010
that's a really hasty assumption. lots of people do just choose to be single or unmarried. relationships are complicated, and not all of us feel obliged to breed. i personally do hope to get married and have kids, but happily i now live in a country where there is hardly any pressure. i know drop-dead gorgeous women who have had boyfriends for over a decade and so far have no plans for marriage. this is because more people are realizing that marriage is often more trouble than it's worth and you are better of just being happy with someone with any legality. it's a huge relief to know that i won't get judged for waiting for marriage like i would in the states. american girls are so panicky about finding someone they don't even think about it twice. just nab the first guy you can find. it makes life so much easier to just live your own life and let romance happen naturally. there is nothing wrong with people who marry later in life. if anything, they are the fortunate ones.

I find the weird part in all of this is the egg-freezing. I couldn't imagine doing this for the reasons these women are.
As for the whole "Mr. Right" thing (which most people seem to be focusing on)...I think that a lot of it has to do with what the ever-changing expectations of society. A few decades ago, women were expected to be housewives, do all the chores, all the cooking, housework etc etc. That wasn't looked down upon. Now, society's expectation for women seems to gravitate towards "if your husband/boyfriend doesn't bend over backwards for you and do every single possible chore etc, he is not Mr. Right". Add to that expectations from moms and friends. For instance, my dad does just about everything for my mom (too much IMO), but my boyfriend doesn't do nearly as much for me...however, in most instances I'm alright with that...my mom, on the other hand, isn't. She's constantly saying I can "do better"...but I know that I'm never going to find a guy who does everything for me like my dad does for her, its kind of an unrealistic expectation. So, as a woman, I can kind of understand where some of these women are coming from and the pressure that they're facing. They have all the women in their life saying "He doesn't do 'blah blah blah'?? He is so totally not worth it!". Its pretty annoying.
On the other hand, a lot of the older women I've run into that are still single are absolutely bats**t crazy....haha

Mr Right is non-existent because our current vision of him comes from disney movies. We want a man who is handsome, smart, kind, well-off or at least has that potential, chivalrous, and regards you as the most important being in his world. I have learned after many excruciating years that this person does not exist. I know one man who is all those things above, takes care of his girlfriend and loves her to death, and I thought there must be hope for the rest of us if he's like that... until I found out he was a total assh**e to everybody else. Everyone's got something wrong with them. I used to criticize people who just settled for a partner but now I know that we really don't have a choice.

I know that efficiency is frowned upon and I'll probably get dugg down for being a pessimistic assh**e but if you want a kid that bad why dont you try recycling the little crumbsnatchers: adopt! theres plenty of kids that already need help in the world, do you really need to bring in another one? what makes you so special that your (as of late, unconceived ) kid deserves a good home and sustainence while little marvin is starving over in ethiopia?
