  • I am convinced the entire actual point of college is to test “ability to finish a project”. A Bachelor’s degree is a four year project. A Master’s degree is an additional two year project. A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is an additional five to eight year project. (Do remember that a Master’s is not needed for a PhD.)

    This is not a judgement on the many reasons for stopping.

















  • To counterbalance the “woe is me” (which is a perfectly valid life experience, and I do not mean to diminish it). I am posting so that people with no life experience do not think the “woe is me” is the only experience.

    Decent adult straight men exist. We are just busy with family, careers and volunteering. One will not meet us in a bar as we, collectively, don’t have time for that. Volunteer for a cause one supports, and one will meet people one likes more.

    As an aside, do men have the same issues as women in meeting “good” men? And is our collective taste in men rubbish? Is it something “we” are all watching on TV?

    Edit: Really great article by the way. It is long with lots of examples and personal stories from men around the USA.
