No, i'm calling you a bigot for "how you speak about women. You stereotype and you talk about women like they are things."
Type 2 diabetes doesn't have anything to do with stereotypes.

We all have preferences. As psychologists point out, women have higher standards, some have impossible high standards, and that's okay.

What's wrong personal preferences?

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog ... single-men
What? Your link didn't say anything AT ALL like "women have higher standards, some have impossible high standards, and that's okay."

It said this:
I hear recurring dating themes from women between the ages of 25 and 45: They prefer men who are emotionally available, who are good communicators, and who share their values.

For men, this means a relationship skills gap that, if not addressed, will likely lead to fewer dating opportunities and longer periods of being single.

There's less patience for poor communication skills today. The problem for men is that emotional connection is the lifeblood of healthy, long-term love and it requires all the skills that families still are not consistently teaching young boys.

...[So men, ] ...level up your mental health game.

That means getting into some individual therapy to address your skills gap. It means valuing your own internal world and respecting your ideas enough to communicate them effectively. It means seeing intimacy, romance, and emotional connection as worthy of your time and effort.
Good advice.

Even your comment above shows your bigotry.
Let me tell you. I'm open to the idea of having children with a woman in her late 20s and 30s.

However, a beautiful 30 year old woman who is single, healthy, and educated will likely have impossible standards.

It's probably much easier to attract a Hispanic girl in her early 20s.

Of course, but would you agree the comment below is a disgusting stereotype? If you really hate stereotypes, you should call him out. His comment is sick and so wrong.

They ain’t gettin’ any, and they ain’t gonna get any. Could it be that young women don’t really vibe with dudes who lack personal discipline, aren’t motivated, and seem to think a passion for gaming is the same thing as a passion for life?

Good luck stopping him. He's been at it for years.

The repetitive nature of these posts suggests to me that he gets off on fantasies about these women he might 'have children with'.

Wtf? Impossible standards? Someone here has impossible standards. Take a look in the mirror.

Also kinda weird you think Hispanic girls are an easy target and that women are something to attract like an insect flying towards a bug zapper. Says a lot about you.

I'm not an especially good looking guy, but I have never had to "find" a woman. I'm nearing 40 and haven't been single for more than a month or two since I was 14. It's about developing an honest, loving relationship. Not something I've always been good at, but I try. Looks are a bonus considering that we all age, get wrinkles, get fatter, our hair turns grey...

I know. And i agree with you completely. I just feel on our free speech board there needs to be some pushback against his misogynistic language. I know the vast majority here don't agree with his bigotry, but i know it gets boring (and irritating and bothersome and time-consuming) to keep pointing it out, so i'm happy to be the one who does that. It needs to be done.

What? :lol: I'm trying to have a conversation about diabetes, but some people here want to talk about my love life.

I don't need fantasies. If I really wanted to talk about fantasies, I would've been saying a lot of stuff.

I think we should simply talk about diabetes.

What do you think about the fact that doctors are suggesting that women should have babies before the age of 23?

It does. Read the paragraph under Significance. The study mentions a Finland study recommending the same thing.

Interesting. Are you in UT, ID, AZ, or outside the US? It sometimes depends on where you live.

If you are in the US, except for the states mentioned above, you'll have to share your secret.

I have the data to back it up.

According to the data, 51% of men ages 18 to 29 are singles, but 32% of women in the same age range are single. What explains the big gap?
https://www.pewresearch.org/social-tren ... americans/

The gap is bigger for ages 18 to 25.
