Really? I don't think that is the norm at all.
Average Electrical Lineman Hourly Pay $26.98 Avg. Hourly Salary $1,500 BONUS $7,500 PROFIT SHARING What am I worth? Get pay report
Just my experience.....
Teenage females believe in love.
Females older than teenage believe in security.
If schools, universities and employers are going to systematically discriminate against men, women will have to get used to marrying down economically.
...
That’s what I wanted to say.
A first class lineman at my company makes 50 an hour.
OT is 75 an hour
Sunday & Holiday is 100 an hour.
I don’t any lineman (1st class) that make under 150K.
If the country is facing a shortage of economically attractive men, then it’s safe to say that
America is facing a shortage of attractive women that are not a threat to a man’s economics...
Patriarchy Smashed - mission accomplished
I am posting a fact the average pay for linemen is $26/hr. Your situation is obviously an outlier and NOT THE NORM.
Financial success is over-rated. All you need is love...love is all you need...Beetles song.
“If marriage is an achievement status won’t more people want to get married? Or am I missing something? I don’t follow the logic.”
Well, a nice house is also an achievement status that people want, but not everyone gets.
I’d also point out that many, many marriageable men chose not to get married simply because many, many women are not marriage material.
I employ a number of young male engineers and geologists; they make in the low-mid six figures in their late 20s. Nice kids, work hard, smart, make a lot money for their ages, and generally well put together and fit (one geologist is a bit of a slob).
They’ve opted out of marriage simply because the women they have dated are clearly mercenary and would not be good life partners. They’re definitely aware of the unfavorable legal climate for men in marriage, and they want no part in it.
I can’t say I blame them.
May be a Lineman in NYC makes $200k/year. But as you said it is definitely not the normal average.
Well if the internet says so, it must be a fact.
Let’s not forget the push to normalize homosexuality.
Men who have difficulty finding women are now able to turn their sex drive toward other men, and be applauded when doing so.
The normalization of homosexuality makes it harder for women to find marriageable men.
Rural and suburban PA.
[Rare to find a woman marrying down.]
I know of one, she even made him take her last name.
“I don’t need you, and I don’t respect you” is not a good sales pitch for women seeking men.
I would be more than okay with my (highly-educated and successful) daughters marrying men who had not gone to college. I’ll take a hard-working carpenter, a hard-working farmer, a hard-working fisherman or a hard-working truck driver over some socialist pansy with credentials (I’m also okay with a hard-working doctor/lawyer/engineer/businessman). As long as the man has a work ethic and traditional values, I’m good. As long as it’s a real marriage - one man and one woman, planning for children - I’m good
American women can be very demanding. That is why a lot of American men like from other countries.
“The BLS reports that,in the first quarter of 2019, men earned a median salary of $52,208 annually”
So basically, you have to earn above the average male to be considered. And since older men earn more than younger men, and they probably have unmentioned age requirements. They are probably saying that unless you’re in the top 10% earnings, you’re just not good enough.
It’s not that there is a man shortage. It’s that there is an excess of gold diggers.
They’ve opted out of marriage simply because the women they have dated are clearly mercenary and would not be good life partners...
There it is in a nutshell.
I see more women coming out and saying they’re “bisexual”, like Miley Cyrus.
