Do you agree that pushing women for high paying jobs is causing dating to die?

Women in general are hypergamous. They tend to go for men who make 10-15% more of their baseline salary at a minimum. Usually men who make less than them or perceived to be lower status than them aren't taken serious unless that guy has top tier genetics in order to compensate.

So it goes like this. Women compete with men for jobs. At bear minimum they get a salary equal to a guy. Avg guy now is not appealing for marriage since he can no longer leverage financial security for her and women find most men bland when it comes to sexual attraction. Thus, women see no reason in being with them.

Holds out for guy who makes above avg salary (low six figures). Some girls able to lock down this guy, others are not and keep holding out for their dream guy that never comes. In other scenarios, we got women who decided to become "boss bitch" and go for high paying job. They reach their career and now want men who make their salary or above. Most of the time these men want a younger woman with more feminine energy. Girls aren't willing to date anyone who makes less and often remain single for life.

Yes

No

I reject that stupid premise. Everything isn't about money.

Superficial guys are just confused as to why women who are out of their league in looks and brains aren't interested. But those guys aren't interested in a really cute, normal girl with a great personality and healthy values because they, themselves, don't have a good personality or healthy values. Nevertheless, they cry because nobody will give them what they want. It's so unfair!

Golly, it's too bad that women these days can support themselves instead of being dependent on men for survival. LOL They get to pick a man they want to be with based on his character and personality instead of settling on a shithead who acts superior and makes demands.

But the video and cry-baby men who watch such videos instead of getting off their asses claim that women aren't interested in men because women are shallow and only care about money and status. 😭 Uh, is it possible that those guys are projecting their own shallow values onto women?

The thing is, guys who have a low opinion of women don't deserve women's respect. They are not nice guys and wouldn't know how to treat a good woman. Maybe that's why they can't get a date.

I think it's commical that women complain out of one side of their mouths that there are not enough educated men, and out of the other side they complain men earn more money than women. Huh?

Where do you dorks get these absurd ideas from? 🤦‍♂️
No woman I met in Europe ever asked me how much money I made. At a certain point they ask about my job, the same as I ask her. And I have met couples where she made at least the same money as he did.

Maybe the high decline in birth rates, breakdown in romantic relationship, rise in single men and drop in marriage rates.

Also there was a large marriage study conducted which support this point.

Women were willing to marry and be with men that made less than them but often the men were tall. Research concluded that men attraction via height was a bargaining chip that they could play for not being as financially stable. In the same study, men who were 5'8 and under got married later in life and to women that made less than them. Only benefit was that these men often married younger and often were able to align into traditional relationship with lower associated risk of divorce.

If that is truly the case for the United States then even more reasons to be glad not to live there.
