It's worse than that: for many (if not all women) this may be an inclination set by generations of natural selection: make babies with the sexy bad boy, then find a "nice guy" to marry and help you spend your resources raising the other guy's kids.
(Or sometimes marry the "nice boy" first, then have sex on the side with the sexy bad boy during the time of the month when pregnacy is the likely result)
I'm not saying women consciouly plan this strategy, only that evolution has imbued them with behavioral responses to situations such that the sum of those behaviors can lead them into playing-out such a strategy for reproduction.
Couple things here.
If you look at the birthrate prior to the sexual revolution and the birthrate after I have to ask you something.
Is this is more successful strategy than getting married young to a good husband and having a large family?
The problem is that it’s a terrible strategy. What if you don’t find ‘that good man who’s also single’? What then? You’re left a single mom - which is why we have so many of them. What happens to the children - they end up in poverty and that’s not a great outcome.
Whereas - if the woman waits, THEN gets married to a good man - stays married to the same man - what happens to her children after? They are more likely to see themselves better rather than worse off than their parents.
I am not convinced by the sexual revolution’s attempt to claim ‘evolution is in favor’. It makes sense that they would claim it - but I think the consequences are clear. More STDs, poorer relations and fewer children.
Let me clue you in on a little secret.
Having a supportive wife in your life makes all the difference in the world. That means doing all the little things right.
You want your husband to go out 9 to 5 and bust his butt off and make a ton of money - do you think he’s gonig to be willing to do that if wifey at home treats him like dirt?
R-E-S-P-E-C-T I’m telling you, you want to land a man - it’s really super simple.
Show them respect - doing something nice FOR THEM just becuase you think they are a good man - a man is going to sit up and take notice. Why? Because most men spend most of their time getting trashed. They are used to women saying they are worthless, etc.
What they are not used to is a woman coming up and saying - “you’re an awesome guy”. Real simple.
I know some of the ladies here are going to complain how this isn’t true. But I know it is. Get a man, keep a man is not that hard.
