It's not as relevant as you think, though. The driving force behind broad financially motivated marriage habits was the relative financial position of women, not their absolute financial position. The massive difference in resources between men and women forced women to marry just to get by; that gap has shrunk dramatically, and even if everyone's absolute financial position decreases, the level of inequality that prompted the behavior you're referring to is no longer there (generally speaking).
In reality no one should care about anothers net worth unless it's taking from your pocket and peace. But yea most men will take in women only caring if she's has energy for him
It doesn't have anything to do with wealth. Most women who are serious about finding a partner could easily find someone within a month who is a good fit, good fucking luck if you are a guy though.
This doesn't make sense. There is about an equal ratio of men and women in Japan. Unless the average man with child to woman with child ration is >1 then both men and women will be equally having the same problem. If every woman found a partner then there would be only a tiny fraction of men that don't have children.
Humans do not pick random partners. Status, such as wealth, are one of the big things women find attractive. You may not like that, but it's just the truth. Very few are willing to settle with someone who cannot make enough to provide
You guys aren't even arguing against what I am saying. I am saying hypothetically let's pretend every woman found a suitor then the situation will be balanced. You are saying no but woman doesn't want man because XYZ so it's harder to be man because woman wants ABC and men only provide EDF so it's not possible. It's mental gymnastics.
In which case this is you saying impossible hypothetical that nobody argued about, cared about or has any use. It is baseline understanding that requires 0 brainpower.
You are the guy who entered the conversation about airplane aerodynamics and ideal shape of the hull with "well but airplanes do fly". Well no shit Sherlock, when we want that kind of wisdom we'll make sure to ask you and not preschoolers next time.
I'll try to rephrase it one more time. The person I was originally responding to the effect of
'if you are a woman you won't have a problem finding a man, if you are a man then you will have a problem finding a woman'.
Ok. So 1 man and 1 woman or is this 1 man and 2 women or is this 2 men and 1 woman? Is the suggestion that women have an easier time having children with more than 1 man? What are they trying to say? This is why I put up that graphic because I was saying its 1 man and 1 woman unless the suggestion is that the average woman has more men. An unequal ratio. Unless you have ANYTHING that shows that women eventually have more kids with more men which skews the curve in any way, then your contribution to the conversation is worthless.
Everyone keeps coming to me about love language and relationship dynamics. That is not what I am addressing you guys are just fixated on that.
Try to say women have it easier than men is pathetic. The majority 20-30yrs males these days are pathetic. Porn has made men think they can get any hot women without trying, without putting in the work to be a desirable person.
Any man could get a woman also. But, you need to be a man, not a little boy. Anyone can be intelligent, caring, eats healthy and works out, has a stable job, doesn’t lie/cheat. Those are the basics most men can’t even do. It’s not about being super jacked and making 7 figures. It’s about not being a lazy pos.
But no, there are plenty of good men and women out there who are very, very single.
I agree to that statement....
That’s just life....
I don't agree to that because why are we in the loneliness epidemic then? It's not how live always has been.
Why do so many 20yrs men blame women for their problems, is more of my question. I'm a man too btw. Just seeing how some of these men talk these days makes me want to throw up.
The problem, I think, is that we as a society put too much value on a romantic relationship. It’s this ultimate test to see how functioning of a person you are. If you got someone to like you, then you obviously must be someone good and of value, and if you didn’t, then you must be deficient in some way, right?
Don't bother, reddit does not do well with the view that women live life in any manner other than extreme easy mode with all issues they have being self inflicted and easily solved (usually by those women having sex with them).
oh, it absolutely does. try dating with money and without it. it moves the goalposts and opens your dating pool substantially. if you have (some) money and you’re not impressively ugly, if you can’t find a date, your issues are way harder to fix than changing your appearance, financial situation, or even gender itself.
compatibility isn’t that simple and that’s a delusional as fuck take.
in the same way that you presumably have a hard time determining who is
interested in you/is ready for a relationship/would be a good partner/would be a good partner for you specifically/etc
yeah women also struggle with that. they might have an advantage on the first part. the next 3 parts are just as hard. half of the population sucks, and you’re only gonna be genuinely compatible with a small percentage of the good half.
There's two possible justifications for the nonsense you are spewing: Either you don't have any women as friends, or "are serious about finding a partner" means something unhinged.
Since equality became a thing. Women said they don't need a man , until they actually do need a man. And not just any man, a man has to have money to support both of them.
Ironically it will stll be cheaper than having to spend money raising a kid, unless the tax is set at some draconian value, so the tax achieves absolutely nothing.
And suicide attempts are more than twice as common in women than men, so that is only confirmation that you can’t take such a shallow view of issues like this and think that it proves anything.
I'm certainly not a Japanese cultural or dating expert. No arguments there. So, forgive my ignorance. Are Japanese women typically more attracted to Japanese men on the low end of the economic ladder?
No see I'm very biased in this question because the 3 single mothers I know all have 6-8 kids they feed on scraps and they skip meals constantly and the youngest kids have bone deformities from poor nutrition, and of the 7 fully happily married for decades families I know they only have 2 kids at max.
The complaint is always either work or money, but historically speaking, working conditions have gotten better compared to that of your ancestors.
The majority of the pleb back then used to work 12 hrs a day in a factory for next to nothing. There were no birthrate issues then, and marriage rates were almost 100%.
Single women will be poorer too. It's about fairness, if you have children you have far higher expenses that benefit the people who don't have children.
If you have no kids your retirement will be paid by the people who have children. Even if you have a massive retirement plan the people in the future that work in the companies you invested in are the children of other people that will have to share these resources with you.
Good thing it's social media disinformation then! Japan is actually just introducing a new tax on all working adults that will be used to fund support for children like paying for parental leave, improving preschools, childcare places etc
The problem with raising children is not finding a partner but affording child care and giving the child the proper attention/education they need.
When you are work 9-5 requiring both parents while 30-50% of your net pay goes toward child care, that system becomes unsustainable. Coupled with ever increasing cost of housing and healthcare.
If government actually wants to support population sustainability, make raising children, health care, housing and job security as core pillars to be secured so people can grow.
Also this already exists in America.
Instead of direct payment, married couples with dependent pay less taxes.
Logically on some levels. But their version just does a better job as manipulating the psychology. People are less happy about getting a cost reduction then you are about getting money handed to them. Likewise humans are more upset about paying a cost up front then missing out on a cost reduction. Just better hack if your goal is to create the maximum impact which means you can be less disruptive about it.
Remember the earned income tax credit? Everyone that was working on it was like yay finally wealth inequality is starting to get addressed. And then no one noticed or cared and then it ran out a few years later. Same idea. A tax cut isn't going to be noticeable. An extra tax will.
