Why is it so hard to find a husband?

I dont know

Husbands are everywhere. It’s single men that are hard to find.

Unless you’re married, honey, you can’t find a HUSBAND, cause none exists. A husband, as such, is not what you need to be looking for. It’s like looking for ready baked bread in a wheat field…

It’s not. I found one pretty easily. You’re just looking in the wrong places.

Secondly, you can’t just look for a husband. Instead, look for friendships, out of which romance can grow naturally. (Friendship is MUCH more important than passion-- it lasts much longer.)

Lastly, take a look at your standards. Are they realistic? I mean, really? If you’re looking for a marriage like you see in the movies: eternal passion and excitement, you’re doomed to be dissapointed. Are you expecting a very handsome man, who’s exciting and impulsive yet stable and dependable? You’re doomed to be dissapointed.

My advice? Look for a good man and form a friendship. Let things grow from there.

I’m a good man AND a good husband. You found me. If you want me, come and claim me. My wife’s not using me anyway.

Are you looking too hard? Is your biological clock ticking loud enough for the neighbors to hear? If so, that could be the reason. Many single men will run like the wind from a woman who has “I want to get married NOW” written on her forehead.

I originally came into this thread to make a witty comment, but I see others have already got the wisecracks out of the way. Anyway, this article might be helpful:

Try to think of the last place you put him.

All the good ones are either taken or gay. Or so I’ve heard.

If you join and hang out here, you’ll find a husband. It’s worked for some of us, including me.

It’s not hard to find a guy that’ll marry you; it’s hard to find one that meets your exact requirements.

You probably want him to be attractive, funny, taller than you, have a job or make more money than you, want kids, same religion, like the same kinds of movies, etc. You gotta decide if you just want to be married (easy) or if it’s worth waiting for the guy that meets all those requirements (hard). Or if maybe those requirements aren’t really so important.

I clean my teeth with twerps like you!

Ahem. The Last Certified Good Male is currently on exhibition at the Smithsonian–right between Fonzy’s leather jacket and Howdydoody, or so say the women I know. :wink:

Adding more heads of cattle to your dowry should take care of that problem.

If that doesn’t work…I don’t know. I’m stumped.

Male, heterosexual, caucasian
26 years of age

  • Speaks English and Japanese fluently
  • 140ish IQ
  • 2 patent submissions
  • Writer, programmer, and artist all at professional or close-to professional level
  • Single
  • Tall (6’1")
    ~ Thin (135 lbs :eek: )
    ~ Can be good looking (easy to look sorta meh since fitting clothes are hard to come by)
  • Humorous in a cantankerous but light-hearted way
  • Gets along fabulously with kids
  • Enjoys teaching others and is willing to take the time to get it done right
  • Can’t keep his apartment clean worth a damn
  • Family’s rich
  • Can have job security at a good wage if he wasn’t part-timing while going to school
  • Hates lying
  • Would never cheat
  • Ready and willing given a proper female
  • Lives in Japan

So, there you go. The darn near perfect male flew off to Japan and even when still in the US still couldn’t find a date because simply, where are all the good women?
Fly over and convince me you’ve got a head on you and I’ll see what I can do though. :wink:

How many guys have asked you to spend some time with them? (date, lunch, walk)

How many have you turned down?

Those are where your potential husbands are…They’re there all along, they just don’t make it through your filter.

I’m admittedly a little bitter; having shown an interest in getting to know over 100 women…who blew me off with a myriad of excuses.

Curses, foiled again and beaten to my own response by the rascally scoundrel that is Inigo.

In any case, what he said.

Let’s see… I’m someone’s husband, and as far as those requirements go: Not so much, kinda, yes, yes, no, yes, no, and no.

I think this and Lissa hit the nail on the head. Something about not pursuing the goal, but the process. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck to be without a partner, though.

Or ask after I’ve been married for thirty years, and I’ll have some actual advice.

If your post is any indication, you couldn’t get dates because you thought a resume was a substitute for romance.

One would certainly hope Inigo’s wife isn’t using you!

In all seriousness, I’m thinking that any perceived husband-candidate shortage out there is due to the fact that a lot of guys want a wife the way they want an IRS audit. This isn’t always a bad thing. Some men can’t play nicely with others, some men know they’d be bad fathers, some men are just too selfish to share themselves. Some are man-sluts and can’t bear the thought of not trading in their partner every three years.
If more men than women choose to follow an unmarried path, a suspicion I have which I can’t support with $1.24 worth of cites, then that would create a nice single guy shortage.
What I notice as I get older is that the supply of single guys dwindles substantially as you track the population from age 18 to 35. Many of the single guys in that bracket may already be divorced once.

Today I’m getting at least as many kicks from Google Ads as I do from my wife.
