I think a lot of it is laziness and a lot of men being unable or unwilling to compete. Women are going to college and graduating at higher rates, resulting in higher paying jobs. Men still have more money so it's not like we can't afford to go to college. I think the problem is that 60 years ago if you were a fukk up or drifting through life, you could simply get a job at the local factory, auto plant, etc and you'd be set. Most of our grandfathers weren't college guys who got professional jobs. They worked with their hands and at the time it was enough. Today many of those jobs are gone, but a loooot of similar jobs aren't being taken by many men. People complain about Amazon yet USPS has good paying jobs right now that are easier/better...can't find people. You can go to your state's government jobs page and find all types of jobs. Men aren't going into trades as much, despite HVAC being lucrative right now for instance.
I think a lot of men today have settled mentally. They've accepted a life where you work a meh job, get meh pay, and can afford your rent and videogames. Men and women are having less sex, and many men aren't even pursuing relationships. VS our fathers and grandfathers who worked in part to get a wife and kids. Men from those eras would be disgusted at dudes today doing nothing, playing videogames all night, not trying to smash chicks, etc.
STill open to getting remarried in the future.

Men are earning more money than women despite them not going to college at the lower rates. A lot of these positions with qualifications aren't paying anything better than positions require nothing. The positions that do pay and require an education, require ladder climbing which also favors men. The problem with people isn't terrible standards, or laziness. People are tired & want work to support their living, not live to work like some of y'alls grandaddies. You talk about State Work like people aren't applying. USPS like they treating their workers the best they could.

This bootstraps rhetoric
Why don't people mention about our grandfathers and fathers dying earlier from working so much either?

She was probably getting approached all the time ten years and 30 pounds ago.Be honest, how often do average brehs try to talk to average women?
If you saw her across the room, would you approach her? Let’s say you met randomly, and she had a nice personality. Would dating her be on your mind?
The world is not setup for women to be alone. The majority of the homeless folks now are men (single men) these men are not married, no girlfriend or anything, who wants to be involved with someone who is struggling or homeless? FF down the line and ask yourself, what is going to prevent, these 'single' women from being in the same position as these 'single' men? These are the men from the 60s 70s, 80s, 90s, that are on the street, Gen X men, during those times 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, women were married, and their husbands made sure that these women would be ok, family structure was in place for these married women, for most, martial rates were up in the Black community during these times still, better than the 26% that they are now for BW.
2000s, 2010, 2020, that millennial and Zen generation, 75% of black women are single and will not married in their lifetime, you will see/witness in the upcoming years, these women on the street as they approach their grandmother years. 50s.
Facts are most women don't save, they spend everything that they get, most are bad with money, many are living paycheck to paycheck or have high school/car debt. It's really going to be a crazy world 10-20 years down the line.
Those that refuse to accept reality will lean on their children, asking for money, shelter, etc, some may take care of their mother others won't (that's gonna be another element, Parents vs Children. Those children will look at it like that's another mouth to feed, or mouths, depending on if the son's mother is struggling along with his wife's mother. If this is a married couple. A married couple, having 2 mother in laws in the same house will be hard on the family/income
More men are adjusting, trying to save. Most men can adapt and go without for periods of time. Most men think survival, I'm not trying to make it a men vs women thing in which I did, but the fact of the matter is, that women cannot survive this world alone.
More things are coming down the pipe the longer we live, 2020 showed us just that, when the world shut down and food was somewhat hard to get, long lines, etc, jobs closing down, now let's say that happens again added with something more extreme, what will these single 50plus year old women are going to do??

People are applying...but not enough. That's the problem. The jobs are there, ready to be taken. Do I think USPS treats employees great? No. But they treat them better than Amazon and pay more than Amazon. Being a mail carrier isn't some wack job yet they're out here struggling to find brehs.Men are earning more money than women despite them not going to college at the lower rates.

Men earn more than women overall yea. The numbers are falling off when you look in the 20s-early 30s. We're about to see an ugly demographics bomb set off in a few years.
