Men of Lower Quality

Yesterday in my advertising class we were discussing the differences during each period of the twentieth century and how they have affected the marketing profession. During on of the periods there was a significant difference in advertising, because now women and people of color were considered consumers and were used as part of their target markets. As we discussed this our professor mentioned that women today have become more exigent when looking for men to date. I obviously had something to say about this, and here is what I think:

I do not believe that women have become more exigent when looking for men, I believe that the quality of men has lowered. In the past, colleges were full of men, men who were eager to prepare themselves for the future, today that is not the case. I don't know if this is happening in every country, but here in Puerto Rico there is a serious crisis when it comes to men. As I told my professor, next time you sit in a classroom observe, how many men are there in the class. In most of my courses, there are more women than men, and I don't really believe that it has to do with the women to men ratio. I believe it has to do to the fact that many men, not all of them!, lack ambition and commitment.

I don't know if I just have bad luck or I'm just simply a magnet for psychotic men and good for nothing, but I can't remember when was the last time I met a guy who was actually working towards building himself a "future." All I meet are men who are partying around (not that this is bad) and doing nothing useful!! I have got to tell you we women have it hard. Not only are there a few good men but now we have to be careful that he doesn't end up being gay and that he is actually doing something!!

I am totally in favor of the female liberation, but men are taking this to extremes. At the rate that things are going, men are going to be househusbands, and next thing I now I'll be proposing to my boyfriend. Can't their be a happy medium? I hate extremes!
