A new Gallup poll is out, and according to it, forty percent of females under the age of 45 claim they would leave the USofA if they could. A previous survey put the number at just 10%.
Nineteen percent of males in the same age group also expressed a desire to move.
Gallup conducts these polls every decade or so and has never had a result where nearly a third of he population expressed a desire to move from the States. The last poll, from 2014, showed just over 10%, equally divided between the sexes, desired to move elsewhere.
How are we failing our women, 40% of whom wish to relocate to another country?
Is it a rejection of America or of the toxic culture?
The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

Is Gallup a reputable pollster? What do you call BS on? That you don't agree with something doesn't make it fake or BS

There are 10 other threads you could have put this on, you had to start a new one for some poll that's bonkers? Really?

It’s a poll that is of limited if not zero value. It’s always easy to answer a question without much real thought if there is NO CHANCE the result is really attainable.

And of course exactly how the question was worded, what question was right before this one…

I’m not as dismissive of it as ZCore or EB, but it’s not worth much more thought.

It covers ages 15 to 44. That's quite a spread. Includes a few who haven't even started riding the cotton pony, and a few who have already dismounted. But if there's correlation to anything, it would have to be menstruation. So maybe they all synced? They should ask again in a week.

Or maybe it is the well-known propensity of young women to believe foolish things, and to accept lies. Lies are part of female socialization. They lie to each other all the time for social reasons, they know they are lying and being lied to, and they accept that. And they seem to have no resistance at all to the lies of men, and they accept those, even when they know they are lies. Meanwhile men do not respect men who lie. Men who lie to me face an uncertain future, while women who lie to me are ultimately forgiven, for I know their ways. This is why historically women have not been invited to vote. We've always known that politicians are liars, and how far apart are "I promise I'll pull out" and "I promise I won't raise your taxes?"

So attribute it perhaps to some faddish thinking circulating among the young girls. Like Fabian. What do they all see in Fabian, I don't know? He doesn't seem to be very talented. But if there's one thing I've learned as a pickup artist- girls like what they like- there's no sense or logic to it, it just is, and it comes from emotions we don't have so all you can do is be prepared to work with it, rather than trying to control or predict it. Like getting a really good count. You can't predict you are going to get a good count at the beginning of a shoe, but you need to know what to do when you see it. Being there's no reason for it, it'll change, and next year's popular Barbie outfit won't be "leaving the US" but something different.

All polls are of limited value and this is no different .
I'm more alarmed by the differences between men and women than anything, but I won't be losing sleep over it.
I've always intended to retire either in Mexico or Ireland, and still do.

98% of all polls are nothing but clickbait now like everything else on the internet. Even sites I used to trust are clickbait, just trying to get your attention so they can get a few more clicks. They are aimed at people like Bill Ryan who falls for it every time and thinks it's so important he makes a thread about it. You have to be very careful now and verify what you read because about 80 to 90% of it is purposely misleading to get you to look at their page and their advertising.

I would guess 99% of those women would change their mind as soon as someone bought them a one way ticket out.
