The U.S. Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) released a new Vital Signs report on Thursday, 7 June, 2018.
In the press release about the new report, the CDC states that:
Suicide rates have been rising in nearly every state, according to the latest Vital Signs report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 2016, nearly 45,000 Americans age 10 or older died by suicide. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death and is one of just three leading causes that are on the rise.
[...]
Researchers found that more than half of people who died by suicide did not have a known diagnosed mental health condition at the time of death. Relationship problems or loss, substance misuse; physical health problems; and job, money, legal or housing stress often contributed to risk for suicide. Firearms were the most common method of suicide used by those with and without a known diagnosed mental health condition.
Are any Soylentils contemplating suicide? Do you know anyone who has attempted or succeeded in taking their own life? Why do you think suicide rates are on the rise?

In the end, Women get the men they prefer.
You want to know why there are so many "bad boys"? Ask the girls.
Antisocial assholes, who women know will eventually dump them, still hold a strong attraction for a very large percentage of women.
Women scream metoo, but they put themselves in these situation. They heard all the rumors. They still played the game.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

I don't think they "get" them, I think they might get fucked by them, but I don't think they "get" them.
Also, imagine being a guy who fucks women day in and out, and that is your life, it's fun for couple of years, but eventually you get your fill of women. All kinds, single, married, etc, you don't really care what their status is at the time. But then you think "man, maybe I should start a family" then you think about the commitment of it all, all the work that you will have to do and remember all the married or women in relationship you fucked and get really depressed. Because you will realize that these bitches ain't loyal.

Probably not, but the South does resemble undeveloped nations in many ways.

Females born into muslim society don't always get a choice about how many children they have. Or if they want sex. Or who the father of the resulting child is.

Uhhhhhh - those aren't breeders voicing those attitudes. As for real life "breeding couples" - we all put up with each other. I ain't perfect, she ain't perfect, but we're committed to the family. THAT is what it's all about.

A long (very long) time ago, I asked one of my best friends about this and she said "the roller coaster is exciting".
It's all I have to add.
