@coolboymew It's not COMPLETELY over, there are still some millennial women on the shelf. IDK if I'd go for them, I'd mostly stopped pursuit at 28 because I got sick of the routine drama. But I do see isolated trad-women who managed to avoid a lot of the shortcomings of their cohort

Imagine the girl born to a family of 6, who wants to be a teacher and have a cute little family.

She meets zero men in her major, graduates without ever dating anyone. (maybe 1 semi-serious relationship that falls apart b/c she finds the guys horrifying tranny porn stash)

She enters the workforce to student-teach, meets zero men in her school. Then she applies to work, and gets hired on at a new school outside of town....all her coworkers are women 20-70. Two men in the entire building, both married.

Five years go by, time slips away as she ignores it. She thinks she'll go outside her comfort zone to meet a bf this week, but something comes up and she pushes it to next week. Then the next.

Suddenly her school offers additional money if she goes to get more degrees. They like her, and she goes back to get her master's in educational blahblahblah, so she can get another $20k a year. She hopes THIS trip to college will present her with a husband.

She graduates 2 years later, she's now in spitting distance of 30. All her coworkers are just as single, they tell her she really doesn't need to freak out about settling down until she's 35, "you can TOTALLY start a family in your thirties!". That quiets her panic for a time.

Suddenly she's 30, and the weight continues to crush her. She goes to church with her parents at christmas and notices there aren't any single men in the building. She's lost.

Where are all the men?

(She is, of course, a woman, so the obvious solutions here are utter mysteries.)
