I was replying to this:
“The types of men she will want.....those of a similar age with similar qualifications will want women who are no older than their 20s.”
It’s a socio-cultural mindset by those who have the power. Now women have equal power and in some cases higher earning power as well, since their education rates outnumber men. So it’s a mindset that needs changing in my view.
Why do you think otherwise (presumably)?
I’m on mobile, which reply of mine do you mean?
I agree with you.
My son is in the trades. He probabley will not earn more that 60K per years, although he buys and renovates income property, and that income will start pouring in within 20 years.
He is also heir via other side of the fam to substanial property and rapidly appreciating houses that are without debt.
So he has what used to be called prospects.
He is good looking and women like him. Professional women are a bit touchy, he isnt at their level. How ever he is great with children, and could be a wonderful homemaker and parent to any number of children, and still be bringing home the basics of the equivelent of mortgage, utilities, insurence, and vechicle payments. Which is usually 1/4 to 1/3 of people’s incomes.
Not bad without lifting a finger. And if he did his own property management on his current and added propterties, he would bring in even more.
I htink it is a good deal for the right woman.
It’s not a socio-cultural mindset. It’s biology. It’s not going to change.
Even if the man doesn’t want kids, he is still attracted to young healthy females most likely to be able to produce healthy offspring.
