I went to the bookstore and saw this magazine. I think it was either Details or GQ. It had a nice article about the life of bachelors. The article was about divorced men ages 25-45 or something like that. And how they have become the new Prize, even more so that single men ages 18-30. To the point that there have been targeted for marketing stuff. To the point that apartments have been developed in places such as New York to attract that breed of men. That breed of man had cash to dispose.
The logic behind the article is that these men have “money”, “women”, and “marketers” at their feet. They compared them with Samantha from “Sex and the City” (a show that I hate). That because men have become ‘smarter’ in the last 10 years, they have managed to go away from a divorce relatively unscratched. They were referring to the men that were not stuck with alimony or huge sums of child support. The ones that either use pre-ups or were “lucky” or smart during their divorce proceedings.
One of the examples they provided was this 40 year old man that was dating a 32 year old woman and few weeks early a 26 year old woman.
They also mentioned that many of the “career” oriented woman are targeting this kind of man. These women are the typical educated 28+ single women that finally want a relationship. Because, society does not measure divorce men at the same category as divorced women. They view those men (the one I described above) as men that ‘passed the first interview’. As men that are willing to commit as they were married once. And they are more desirable than the 18-30 singles that were not married
Interesting article. For a moment, make me wonder what I’m doing in a LTR as I can be categorized as one.
Now, I am not saying that the article is accurate. All I’m saying is that it was interesting how things are starting to get better for some men.
Divorce is NOT a bad thing is you are a DJ (although, keeping a marriage going is as DJ as anything, IMO). After all, sometimes you have to move on with life. But what’s the difference between a PUA and a DJ? Once we reach a more mature age…EVEN if we are divorced…we still a prize. Not just for women…but even for marketers.
A PUA? If a PUA failed to self improved himself…by the time he reaches his mature age…he will have to change venues. He will have to deal with smarter woman. He will have to bring more to the table as to show WHY he is the PRIZE.
A dj has to show nothing. As DJs already KNOW what they are. We are the Prize.
It amazes me how younger people, in their early 20s and mid 20s waste their time learning how to “pick up women”, when in reality they should be learning how to self improve themselves in ALL aspects of their lives.
