If we being 100% the average women will outlive their husbands so they will die alone anyway. It's hard to use this as a talking point to convince women to go for dudes that make their clits shrivel in light of this reality.
Did you know there is an uptick in divorces among the elderly across the world? Women could deal with their husbands when they are busy at work but when those dudes retired, women literally hated their guts.
Personally I think people whose relationships last for the long haul are people who actually like one another so they don't feel like they were "settling".
I have a lot of hope for our generation b/c despite conventional wisdom telling people to get with anybody just to say u got somebody when ur old, we are having all excuses stripped away. Women are apart of the workforce so they don't have to have marriage as their only or primary source of survival like it was in the old days. Men know how to cook and clean so they not looking simply for a personal maid.
I believe we are evolving to find true life and soulmates. A lot of people who aren't willing to work on themselves to be better prospects are getting left behind because social safety nets like "you better do x,y,z or..." ain't good enough anymore.
Instead of fighting this men and women need to have authentic conversations and learn to get to know each other. And this wave is sweeping across the world. Life seeks balance.
These women are literally nagging their men to death while denying them the puss then taking their pensions, houses and a monthly stipend.
You cant just ignore the financial incentive behind divorce
The issue you overlook here is women now are entitled to men beyond their level. Note I didn’t say “attracted” to but “entitled” to.
Since joining the workforce womens standards and expectations have risen but their happiness has taken a hit.
When they had little/no income - a man with a job was enough. Now you have to have enough income to swallow her 6 figure student loans, her debt, your future house and other frivalous.
They remain jaded and single holding out for a man of means while passing over “lesser” men.
When their golden vagina fails to lock down the ideal prospect ... the bargaining and settling begins but never fully accepting it.
We aren’t evolving into anything except a gynocentric society where women will be more miserable and blame everything on men. What effect this will have on men remains to be seen
