| Women are struggling to find men who make as much money as they do |
| 2019-09-26 |
| h/t Instapundit [NYPost] A good man is hard to find, especially in this economy. The country is facing a crisis of broke dudes, according to new research from Cornell University ‐ and it’s left successful ladies single and disgruntled. In the study, published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, Cornell sociologists explored America’s declining marriage rate. They discovered a lack of financially eligible bachelors. "There are shortages of economically attractive men," lead study author Daniel T. Lichter tells The Post. Although we like to think marriage is based on love, he says, it "also is fundamentally an economic transaction," and women want partners whom they can call their equals. Lichter, who has been studying marriage for 30 years, says the gig economy and a "lack of good jobs" have contributed to the dearth of well-to-do dudes. So has the fact that women are outpacing men educationally, upending the age-old dominance of the male breadwinner over the past five to 10 years. |

| #18 #8 Women do want to marry up. Having a man that has lots of resources is baked into their DNA. Allows their offspring to survive and thrive. ^ This. = the Truth of Our Species. |

| #16 #15 Feel sorry for young ladies these days You shouldn't. They implicitly and sometimes quite explicitly support most of the crap that brought these circumstances about. Let them learn better or become cat ladies. |

| #15 Feel sorry for young ladies these days. Feminists have made real men scarce. The man-bun, can't change a tire, gamer, sensitive, lump of dough, middle age adolescents left can't be appealing. |

| #14 #5 Ruprecht nails it. Are women paid less than men or more? You can't have it both ways. |

| #12 Same thing in Japan. No money no marry. The wealthy marry money. Dating has proven to be a disaster to men these days. First date, how much do you make. Do you own this home. Where do you work. First date!!. One woman even showed up at his work to verify he worked there. Men are not buying this. They are not dating. Especially in the industrialized world. |

| #9 Darth, are you suggesting college educated ladies aren't attracted to college educated feminist men-children? |

| #8 Women do want to marry up. Having a man that has lots of resources is baked into their DNA. Allows their offspring to survive and thrive. Now what happens when they are the bread winners and the guys they are attracted to are blue collar workers that don't make as much as the woman't white collar job? |

| #5 Since women are paid less then men I would think they would find lots and lots of men to date... assuming that statistic wasn't some kind of political manipulation or something. |

| #3 So has the fact that women are outpacing men educationally, upending the age-old dominance of the male breadwinner over the past five to 10 years. One wonders how long that can last? |
