For whatever reason, it is still legal for second cousins to marry in all US states. First cousin marriages are permitted in: Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Vermont.

So true. I’m a white woman and my grandmother who I had a generally great relationship with set me up on a blind date with my third cousin when I was still single at the ripe old age of 19.

Still happens but now there’s the obfuscation of OLD to hide it. I know several marriages that started with swiping right on their third cousin. I’m sure that wasn’t a coincidence.

There’s too many men who are permanent children and even if they get an education and work, they still expect women to take care of them (whether it’s mom or their wife).

Women would rather be alone than settle for these low quality options.

Women don’t understand that their education and career doesn’t mean squat if there’s no one desiring them, and later wanting kids with them, and later taking care of them once they are old.
So they think they can trick nature and be “independent”.
I am a woman fwiw

Men have a shorter life span. Being married does a woman no good for care purposes if he dies first.
