I am a big fan of Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of the UK. She is about the only woman leader that I can think of, over the past 50 years, that stands in the pantheon of greats. She thus proves two things: first, that this is possible; and second, that it is very, very rare.Continue reading “Maggie The Great”

Percent Ever Married: Update
It looks like the 1990s babies will make it to 60%. The 2000s babies, oldest now 25, are on track for maybe 50%. I think this might have a big turnaround sometime, a new “baby boom” in about 10 years, but it will get worse before it gets better.
Just Marry Mr. Darcy
Today, a whole legion of women figured out that they should just marry a rich guy. That is their Big Plan. But, most guys reach their peak earnings or wealth in their 50s — even as an inheritance. No, we want someone who is wealthy in their 30s. And, not fat, or with a paleContinue reading “Just Marry Mr. Darcy”
Modern Fables
You hear today: “Whatever happened to men that ….” Mostly, this is just a fairytale that didn’t exist. For example, “chivalry.” Maybe there was something like it in the 1950s, but not in the 1990s. I can’t remember ever even thinking about all this opening doors crap. People just opened doors, or not, or whatever,Continue reading “Modern Fables”
Filipina Wife Explains What’s What
We are at the point now where a lot of American Women on TikTok are fake-wondering about “why men are no longer interested in getting married?” or even, talk to them at a bar.

Dating Is Hard When You’re Miss America
As part of the Chronicles of The Way It Was in the year 2026 (or late 2025), we have today: Dating Is Hard When You’re Miss America.
Sperm Donors
The most intelligent, talented and capable women should be having the most babies. If a woman has an IQ above 130, she should have at least five children, it seems to me — preferably with a man who also has an IQ above 130. At 120 let’s put the bogey at three children. This wasContinue reading “Sperm Donors”
I Thought I’d Be Married By Age 22
We’re going to have to take a stand somewhere, so let’s take a stand with the Top 30% of women, who have a natural inclination toward marriage and family. Even today, with all the Feminist propaganda, there is a significant fraction of women who say that, around Age 16, they had the idea that theyContinue reading “I Thought I’d Be Married By Age 22”
Wrong Solution
Here’s Evie Magazine: It’s akin to a bad movie where people seem to be on a race to the bottom in an effort to see who can screw up the most with the opposite sex. I’ve heard of endless unfortunate dating incidents where people will unmatch their Tinder dates within minutes following their first, last,Continue reading “Wrong Solution”
Meanwhile, over at the Church
A return to a functional marriage process will probably involve the Christian Church, because there really isn’t any alternative to Christian Courtship as it existed during the time when Jane Austen was writing books. This is basically the same as all successful civilizations, including India and China. Unfortunately, the Church isn’t helping much these days.Continue reading “Meanwhile, over at the Church”
