“Women want a provider and someone that can take care of them.”

Depends, men today can’t fill that role like they used to and today’s women know it.

Women don’t want to marry someone they consider beneath them.

But those pickings get slimmer with each passing year.

My belief is we're more independent than say grannie was back in her day - then too, look at all the Depression pictures of women back then and how they cared for the family.

I and a lot of my colleagues like our independence.

With divorce and alimony laws as they are and women having 50+ notch count, why bother trying hard to succeed? Odds of divorce rape is just too high for a successful man in the modern world. I grew up poor and never wanted that, plus I wanted to retire early, so I worked my butt off to make close to half a mil a year now in my mid 30s but most of my guy friends hit $50-$100k/year and just coast afterwards. Can’t say I blame them. I’m about to enter the dating market for the first time in 16 years and not worried about finding attractive women to date (8 more months of separation). Not many 37 year olds with my income driving a maserati that can travel the world and still sock away $150k/year for retirement out there, I’m more worried about finding women above the hot/crazy matrix line.
