Will be interested in your thinking about the needs balance. I find that men and women have complementary thought processes likely developed by evolution. Men seemed tuned to objects/things while women are tuned to persons/feelings. If each attends to those areas and supports each other the arrangement in optimal. Now obviously there may be overlap and partnership can be created from a reverse of those generalities.
I've always found it curious that my gay friends have a degree of creativity that I and my late wife lack. Their creativity was similar to my wife's but with a different verve, hard to define. My creativity revolved around building things of utility to meet some need, not for beauty itself.
Ponderables for the elderly philosophers, which I am not educated well enough about.
'My thesis is that since they don’t obviously need men, they aren’t willing to make the compromises necessary to make a pairing work.' That seems very true. However, it isn't just women not making the normal, natural compromises of life to find a partner and make it the relationship work, it's also men no longer engaging and seeking long term partners. A large proportion of men are simply not seeking rerlationships with women. My theory is that a large part of that is because men need to be needed. If men are not needed, but, at best, tolerated, then they have no sense of purpose or self worth. Men need more than to just be an optional lifestyle accessory. Instead, we have a society that works hard to make men's roles redundant. And then people wonder why men are losing their motivation, drive and sense of self worth, with marriage rates dropping like a proverbial stone.

Exactly! I've worked the theme a bit more. Look for a post today.
I look forward to reading your thoughts.
Well said! Appreciate gays for their virtues, but see them as they are. Woke does not allow us to state obvious facts about their pet groups.
