Guy Right is Getting Harder to Find

So says an Op-Ed piece in The Wall Street Journal, featuring a “tall” young woman named Rachel Downtain, who works for Sprint/Embarq in Kansas City.

Or maybe  – not to go out on a limb here – women, with ever-increasing spending needs and years of nabbing alpha males for sexual rendezvous, are just getting snobbier.

Echoing the old canard that guys are afraid to ask out hot chicks, an urban legend that met its bitter-end when hot chicks with money started hiring bodyguards to accompany them to clubs, commenter Amy M. related to Rachel’s “plight” discussed in the piece.

…  are men such babies they can’t handle dating a woman who makes more money than they do or is better educated?

I am 35, a lawyer, and by all accounts, a toothsome senorita. Men simply do not ask me out and since I’m not a feminist, there is no way I am asking out a guy or talking to him first. Period. Won’t happen. So, because I have no dates, I work all the time. Because I work all the time, I make money and become, how do you say, “career-focused.” I do not want to be career-focused. I want to be “relationship-focused,” but it’s just not happening. I do not know where the men are. My best guess is they’re already married. I have officially given up. If I will not have relationship success, I at least want some success, thus, I work harder.

 I will die alone, but at least I’ll be rich.

 My response:

What Amy has written makes sense. 

After all, why would a guy want to date a woman with enough money that he can live without financial worries, not worry about staying in a job he hates, take great vacations, and buy anything he wants, when instead he can marry a woman not any better looking than the rich one, live paycheck-to-paycheck, spend his entire day in a job he hates, not be able to afford to go anywhere, and be buried in debt just from buying necessities?

Oh, brother-  I’d love to know the real story.  Anyone found a picture of Rachel Downtain yet?  The article describes her as “tall.”  Since when is tall a plus for a chick?

A lawyer who doesn’t dare talk to guys before being spoken to (just the kind you’d want to hire, right?), Amy M. is one of the few commenters to the article who has not revealed her last name, a tactic which conveniently makes it more difficult to confirm the veracity of her claims of “toothsome senorita” status and asked-out-lessness.

In any event, probably because we’ve been told over-and-over by successful women that they won’t date a guy who makes less money than they do, guys are reticent to ask the Amy M.’s of the world out.  Of course, it could just be because, in reality, she’s foul, unsociable, and sits at a desk all day queefing into sweaty panty hose, and would be better-off working out once in a while than just plain-old working all the time.  Either way, we can safely assume that, like most female lawyers, Amy M., a self-described non-feminist in a feminist’s job, had her sights set on some super-wealthy clients.  It didn’t happen, and now she’s past the almost-universally accepted female marriage-by date (34).  We can speculate that her cha-cha’s been actionless since The One Night Stand following her best friend’s wedding back in ’06, or whenever it was, or something like that.

Whatever the case may be, because we don’t ask her out, for Amy M. there is only one conclusion:  despite the fact that at 35 she’s unwilling to initiate a conversation with a guy, we – all of us – are “babies.”

Just hours ago a girl, one of the women I am dating told me she had applied for a place to live through a homeless coalition.  Saturday night, the other woman I am dating told me she had moved, with her baby, back into her mother’s place due to not being able to afford sharing the apartment she had been living in.

 Commenter William Brewer, apparently not hiding his true identity, added some wisdom to the discussion:

“Hypergamy” is the key to stable marriages; i.e., when women marry at-status or above. Absence of hypergamy frustrates both partners, resulting in increased incidence of domestic violence.

The bell curve for males in flatter than for women resulting in more elite males that elite females. Feminism’s success in equaliz[ing] the two (i.e., shifting the whole curve for women to the right) has created a huge population of females with no chance of achieving a hypergamous relationship.The long-term effect is being seen in the demise of Western civilization, with fewer and less successful marriages along with fewer and less successful progeny from the marriages that do occur.

Sure, guy right is indeed getting harder to find.

Because guy right has to be that much more now.  At least for the Rachel Downtains and Amy M’s.

Thankfully, guys don’t seem to have be all that great to land hot strays.

After all, look at me …
