I Don't Understand....Perhaps, I'm Not Supposed to Do So?

 I look at Facebook and run into former student "out and about" and ask about their marital status and often, I am told " Single, and are not even dating." 

And often it is implied no one is even interested in them. 

And these people mostly are 20-45 years of age. 

Often they lament the lack of people to date, or people even asking them out on dates. 

I've made this no secret, when I was in college, I went through a period of 2 years in which I did not go out on a date. Going to school full time and I was working 2-3 jobs. Just had no time to date. 

As I have said, if my wife had not asked me out, well, I may have never married. 

I understand that ladies today often have lists of who they want to date/marry.

Must be 6ft+

Must have a job making $100K+

Must meet religious, political, family, social activities interests exactly the same. 

You know, just finding a man 6 foot plus you're already behind. Only about 15% of American men are 6 foot plus.....The average American male is 5'9". 

And guys who make more that $100, 200, 300K? Do you know how many hours people generally have to work to make that kind of money? Missing kid's games, family events, hell, often working holidays. 

Likewise guys, you are not going to find a girl who looks like an instagram model....even there, they are using all sort of filters to look the way they do...And guys some of you are just worthless. 40 and still live at home, with no job, not even trying, just playing video games all day. ( And we know some of you have to move back home to get back on your feet.)

I wonder how much internet porn has messed up people.( Especially men)  Wanting people to stick their tongue in their buttholes, or wanting to choke people into unconsciousness, perversion I can't even discuss on here.

This is all at a time in which almost 50% of people ages 18 to 44 do not plan to have children.....And people get all upset because people coming into this nation are of a different color and are coming here illegally, hell my wife's great grandfather was a stowaway from Germany, he jumped off the ship when the the boat got to Biloxi,  Mississippi, and he just stayed.....Hell, my Irish great-grandfather hopped off the ship illegally in Savannah, Georgia and just stayed. I've said this for a while, this country is going to brown and do so rapidly, and there is nothing your b*tch*ng about it is going to do to change....This country is going to dramatically change.

So many people now enjoy the idea of getting married, rather than being married. Or think you'll marry a knight on a white horse, or Miss America.

People, look at folks you are going to wind up waking up with in the same bed for 50 yrs. Can you enjoy what they want for supper? Do they make you laugh? Will they work, or will they do a good job raising the kids? ( You got to remember in the summer/holidays, I had our son and raised him.) Can you be faithful? If they go broke and start over, will you be there? If your spouse become ill, will you stay with them? 

Some of you may be better off single. 

Get a house full of cats.

Build a man-cave house and play video games, or plan your next hunting trip to Alaska. 

I don't know what to think. I know I couldn't date today if I was young. And at 64 years of age, if my wife goes before me, well, I will live as a hermit....I could not start over. 

I simply worry about us here in this country.
