I don’t know that the young men of today think of women in terms like “future wife” or “future mother” rather than as an opportunity for immediate sexual gratification.
As such, they may not care and won’t matter to them. Also, acquiring a college educated wife with a good job and no student loans of her own to repay means she can help you pay yours off faster.
They may be quite pragmatic about it.
Here’s what I see:
Men dating complete tarts and for some reason, being defensive about them. I mean, the way men defend women like this is mind boggling.
As for pragmatism, why not look for someone who is baggage free and is less likely to be detached from intimacy and likelier to start taking a survivalist view and use the kids as a meal ticket to eighteen years of child support and taking the husband to the cleaners via alimony.
Men complain about that all the time, but go figure, they’re marrying the tarts.
