Marriage Rate is Declining Because There’s a Shortage of “Economically Attractive” Unmarried Men, Says Study

John Anderer posted an article titled ” Why Are Marriage Rates Down? Study Blames Lack Of ‘Economically-Attractive’ Men“… Maybe because most marriages end in divorce, courts treat father’s like second class citizens, and the laws are in favor of women? Maybe because men have lots to lose and little to gain? Maybe there is also a shortage of attractive women?

Has anyone read this article that’s been floating around? Anyways, I read the study and have a few funny remarks to share. The study is titled Mismatches in the Marriage Market by Lichter, Price, and Swigert.

Lichter, Price, and Swigert (2019) stated that there is a lack of “economically-attractive male” which is just a scientific way of saying that there is not enough men who make enough money for women to be attracted to. The funny thing is that these unmarried women made less money than unmarried men.

I like how Lichter, Price, and Swigert (2019) acknowledges hypergamy and said “Traditional heterosexual marriages typically involve some form of hypergamy, with women on average marrying men that have higher levels of education or income.” Only 64% of women are willing to marry a man who has a similar education, income, age and race as they do (Lichter, Price, & Swigert, 2019). Unmarried women only make an average of $29,250 per year but are unwilling to marry an unmarried man who makes an average of $31,366 per year (Lichter, Price, & Swigert, 2019). Clearly someone who makes a few thousand dollars more than them is not “economically-attractive”. These unmarried women need to look in the mirror because maybe they aren’t “economically-attractive” either. I mean, they wouldn’t even marry themselves since they don’t even meet their own standards.

Unmarried men have a higher income than unmarried women. The average age of these unmarried women is 34.09 years old. A man with a lot of money has a lot of options in women. Why would he settle for a woman over 25 years old?

These unmarried women want a man who makes at least an average of $52,020 per year, which isn’t a lot of money if you ask me. In other words, the average unmarried women want a man who makes ($52,020/$29,250 = ~1.7784) 178% of their income.

Unmarried women want a man who makes $52,020 annually.

I liked how Lichter, Price, and Swigert, (2019) stated “High income and college-educated women are least likely to have access to a potential match” and then also say that “younger women, [..] and less-educated women are all more likely to have matches available to them nearby.” No shit. These high-income and highly educated women are old and have wasted their youths and beauty. Their sexual market value (SMV) has crashed. Of course these younger women are going to have much easier access to men because they are in their prime. Hell, these young women even have easier access to “economically-attractive males” that these older and highly educated women don’t.

According to Bruch & Newman (2018), “The average woman’s desirability drops from the time she is 18 until she is 60. For men, desirability peaks around 50 and then declines. […] Desirability is associated with education most strongly for men, for whom more education is always more desirable. For women, an undergraduate degree is most desirable; postgraduate education is associated with decreased desirability among women.”

Men age like wine while women age like milk. The things that make a man attractive are different from the things that make a woman attractive. Women see men as success objects (Walking ATMs) while men see women as sex objects. Women want men’s resources and men want beautiful women. As a man ages, he becomes more attractive because he becomes more financially stable and gains resources. As a woman ages, her looks and fertility declines. Men also know that the older she is, the more men she has slept with and the more likely she is to have a child from another man. In other words, women are a depreciating assets and men are appreciating assets. Women have the most access to high-value men when they are young and men have the most access to high-value women when they are older. It is for this reason that men should focus their 20s on education, career, and making a lot of money while women should focus their 20s on finding a high-value man to settle down with while trying to remain beautiful and feminine.

A problem that I see with Lichter, Price, and Swigert (2019)’s study is that they used women ages 25 to 45 years old with the average age being 34.04 years old. Most of these women have already hit the wall and are undesirable to most men. I am willing to bet that a lot of these women are also single mothers and have been passed around from men to men. Anybody want another man’s leftovers? A woman over 30 should be a red flag. There is a reason why she is in her 30s and no man wanted to commit to her. Maybe no man wanted to commit to her because she’s not worth committing to. According to a study by Antfolk (2017), “Whereas women of all ages prefer slightly older sexual partners, men—regardless of their age—have a preference for women in their 20s.” According to Skopek, Schmitz, and Blosseld’s (2011), “Whereas men increasingly prefer younger women as they age, women’s age preferences become increasingly diverse.” Even OkCupid, an online dating website, have stated “Statistically speaking, a woman’s desirability peaks at 21 […] A man, as he gets older, searches for relatively younger and younger women […] The median 30 year-old man spends as much time messaging teenage girls as he does women his own age.”

Men’s favorite ages for women are 20-23 (Rudder, 2014).

High-value men like Leonardo Dicaprio don’t go for women over 25 and neither should you. Here is a video of Coach Red Pill explaining why you should avoid women over 25 years old:

Here is a video of The33Secrets explaining why these career women with high education in their 30s are unable to find an “economically-attractive” man:

I like how Lichter, Price, and Swigert (2019)’s study tries to explain the concept that hypergamy floats. The author said “Older women are much less likely to have a match; this is particularly true for women with a college degree. One implication is that delaying marriage to acquire additional education moves women into older age categories where the supply of marriageable men declines.” As a woman’s income level increases, the income level of her ideal partner also increases. As her standards increases, the number of available men who she would marry decreases. As she spends more time focusing on her education and career, she becomes older and less physically attractive making her less desirable to men. A man who is “economically attractive” has a lot of options in women and doesn’t need to settle for an old career woman when he can pick a beautiful 21 year old woman. These unmarried women with high income and high education are basically unattractive women with high standards. These unmarried women becomes increasingly invisible to men each day and must compete with women as young as 18. Her competition grows each day as a new batch of 18 year old women enters the marriage market each day.

According to Buss (2010), “A younger female is less likely to be perceived as dominant than an older female, who may remind a man too much of the mother who used to boss him around. From a psychoanalytic perspective, Buss’s findings seem to indicate that the human female prefers a mate who is as much like her father as possible, that is, who invests in her, is older than she is (and whose looks are not too important), and so forth.” Buss’s also stated “Females prefer older, ‘ambitious and industrious’ males possessing ‘good financial prospects.’ Males, more than females, prefer someone younger with ‘good looks.’”

It seems that despite women saying they want to be equal to men, women do not want an equal partner. They want a man who makes more money than them to provide for them despite women being able to work and provide for themselves. I think their desire to find a man who makes more money than them and is willing to provide stems from their natural desire to look for a mate who can provide and protect them. Their brains are hardwired to seek such men because of many thousands of years of evolution. A man who can provide ensures survival of her and her offspring. Gul and Kupfer (2018) showed that women, even feminists and the hardcore feminists, were more attracted to men who displayed chivalry and was traditional over the “woke” male feminists. These women want traditionalism in men but they don’t want traditionalism in women. Traditional men are attracted to traditional women, not feminists. If women want to act like men and be like men then maybe men should treat them like men.

Act like a man, get treated like a man.

This study proves that the feminist notion that “You can have it all” is a lie. If a woman wants to be happy then they should ignore everything that feminists tells them. Women have always been happier than men; however, according to Stevenson and Wolfers (2009), despite women gaining opportunities, women’s happiness have declined, even now below men.

Can you imagine if someone made a study showing a shortage of marriageable women? I mean, most women in Western countries are fat, feminist, got kids, and only want to settle down after they become old and have been passed around. There is a shortage of women who are young (under 25 years old), beautiful, thin, have no kids, not a trans woman, and not a feminist.
