Many women get to live a dream life in their 20s and fulfill the promise offered by Sex and the City. This only becomes a problem when biology hits and the dates dry up.
Bingo. A LOT of women spend their 20s turning down guys who would have been good choices for them because they are very unrealistic about where they stand. They REFUSE to see reality until it hits them in the face when they turn 30 and men's interest in them falls off a cliff. Only then do they start to get realistic - but by then, its too late. Then they get bitter. The ones they should be bitter toward are the Feminazis who encouraged them to make such bad choices in their 20s.
The article correctly notes that college-educated women technically have fewer options because a smaller number of men obtain university degrees. However, none of the women profiled in the article find the men at college up to their expectations.
The studies show that young women currently find a statistically impossible 80% of men "below average". Why do women in college have "fewer options"? Oh. That's right! Because women want men who make more money than they do. Ergo those guys in trade school they deem not good enough for them.
They [women] want a guy who makes more than them
OK feminists....should society go back to tilting the scales so that most men make more than most women? You're dead set against that. The outcome then is going to be that there are fewer men that women consider up to their standards.....which then causes women to complain about that. Its one or the other. Choose.
Due to occasional matches, a majority of women believe they can obtain a guy from this small demographic. Society tells them to not settle for anything less, and they stay single in the hopes of one day getting chad to propose.
Attractive women in their prime (early-to-mid 20s) also have a similar level of abundance and don’t want to settle down either. Family would get in the way of their lifestyle. Their mind changes as soon as they hit 30, yet they’re now less capable of getting the man they think they deserve.
Yes....women are by and large unrealistic in their 20s, turn down guys who would have been good choices while unrealistically pursuing men who are out of their league. They don't wise up until their youth is all gone and they don't have much to offer from men's perspectives.
The 30-something chads will eventually want to settle down, but they want a girl in her early-to-mid 20s (this reality motivates women’s rage over age gap relationships).
Its not just 30 something "chads". Its all men. That includes men who were getting turned down by those very same women when both were in their 20s but who now having gotten their education and established themselves in their careers (and developed the self confidence that goes with accomplishing things), are now much more attractive to women. Only both groups of men simply do not want women who are past their prime - and the latter group of guys especially do not want women who spent a decade turning them down for dates.
Women can get as angry about the biological reality as they want, but men are always going to want younger women in the same way that women are going to want richer/higher status men. It seems like there is a very easy answer here. Women need to be encouraged to go for men in their 20s who look like they are on the ball and will be successful even if they haven't gotten there yet. That's what women used to do....before feminazis filled their heads with some incredibly foolish and ultimately self defeating ideas about how they could piss away their most valuable asset - their youth - and not suffer any consequences for it.
No, the marriage market would be perfectly harmonious and stable if women at their peak SMV (Sexual Marketplace Value) - i.e., between 18 and 24 - would set their sights exclusively on men in their peak (earning) years - i.e., between 32 and 40.
If the young women would pair up and wed the older, good-earning men, there would be a good 1-to-1 correspondence, with no glut of unhappy, unmarried women nearing menopause.
Of course, you'd still have a large population of men in their prime years, going unnoticed (because they haven't yet established themselves) - but that is the way it has been throughout most of human history. These men have consoled themselves with the thought that, eventually, their time would come.
