Lootekukur.. having acrush is one thing and getting married to that person is another thing ... i think most men are like that ..they want a inferior wife but they stil have eyes for the smart women ... Anyways the aim of my thread was not to compete with the men..in fact its aim is to give women another chance by adopton Career women of these days just do not want a husband they want someone who can walk with them in the journey of life like a friend...they don't just want a man who can give them a baby... The examples that i have given are not lame examples..they have made headline news in BBC..so there has to be some truth behind it Japan's birth rate is going low..it is because of women's status Not just japan otehr countries lke Taiwan and Korea too... And it is also true that adoption among single career women in Ameica is increasing... And you must have read the other threads in Sajha about how marrigaes becoming a business ... These all things do discourage people to think about marriages...
