Young Men are Opting Out of Marriage and Relationships. Should we Care? Advancing Women Podcast
-
- Education
A recent Pew Research Center report is gaining a lot of attention in the media. The study found that 30 percent of U.S. adults are neither married, living with a partner, nor engaged in a committed relationship and nearly half of all young adults are single. Here’s what is surprising, 34 percent of women, and a whopping 63 percent of men are single.
Why are so many young men shying from marriage or even dating? Are younger men getting lazier or more selfish? Are young women getting choosier or more demanding? Find out what is going on and why it is definitely NOT our fault as women, but also (hot take here) – not our problem.
In this episode, we address cultural shifts in the meaning of wife and what that means in terms of relationship expectations, sex, dating, marriage, and commitment.
