In your 20s it’s not wealth that’s important but trajectory. I met my husband at 21. We were both broke but I could see he was going places.

This is the way. You have to bank on potential. If you wait until it’s realized it’s too late.

Most men and women dump their partners once their potential is realized. So many support their partners with higher education, training and early career jobs, only to be ditched later. Loyalty isn't a common trait in this society.

Among physicians its a known strategy to divorce first husband or wife before becoming attending physician so they don't have to pay anything in divorce court.

Nothing wrong with being a "childless and unmarried girl boss" - it's certainly better than working full time plus bearing the brunt of the housework, child care, and care for aging relatives, including in-laws acquired via marriage.

Same can be said for women. I’m a guy who made in the mid 300’s by age 30 and nearly every single 20 something chick on the apps is below 100k. The difference is most of us guys don’t really care if a woman makes less.

No, it's really not. Getting cancer with no help and/or dying alone is no treat.

Except most marriages end in divorce when the wife gets sick

So basically both genders are better off being selfish and self sustaining.

Preach. LOL at thinking “childless and unmarried girl boss” is some kind of insult. I can think of many worse fates.

No they don't. Even the study that said there was an elevated risk of divorce when a wife got sick was retracted.

That’s because you know she will provide you with many $1000000s in unpaid domestic labor.

In your 20s it’s not wealth that’s important but trajectory. I met my husband at 21. We were both broke but I could see he was going places.

This is the way. You have to bank on potential. If you wait until it’s realized it’s too late.

Many women don't want to support or struggle, they want instant lifestyle.

Most men don’t want to support or struggle either when it comes to childcare and housework.

LOL. I always love these valuations of "unpaid labor". The numbers keep going up and up and up. Pretty soon only Elon Musk will be able to afford this "unpaid labor".

We had a child right away bc her biological clock was ticking loud. Years later her biz folded and I have been the primary breadwinner. Wife and I have had our ups and downs over the years but stuck it out. Now our son is graduating from college with a technical degree from a prestigious university where he attended on a full scholarship (academic and athletic). He irexieced numerous athletic awards during this final year of college and has an Engineering job lined up right after he graduates. He is smart, 6’8 and 225 lbs, treats people the way they want to be treated, sensitive and strong. My wife and I would’ve missed out on this terrific journey if we had decided to go it alone. And no, raising a child by yourself doesn’t work well … I know that from personal experiwnce

It's fun to make up stories, isn't it?

Your disregard of women’s free labor says it all.

This^. There is a shortage of single, young, educated, employed and decent men. Ones who are available, they've plenty of educated, employed and decent women to choose from.

Yes, life is good for those of us in that cohort. Fun times and easy sex. There is no way I would sleep with any of the women in the WSJ article, let alone marry them. Too many better options.

I don’t have many options and I also wouldn’t date any of the wsj article women

Wsj just did a poor job picking profiles

Overweight. Mediocre careers. Kids from previous relationships with obvious bums.

Form a single file line, fellas. I’m sure the interest is overwhelming.

I thought the whole point was that these women weren't interested. Your lack of interest in them is secondary to their lack of interest in you.

Gotta love how fast one of these incels clapped back with some version of "Yeah, well, I wouldn't anyway because you're FAT!" Brother, you never stood a chance.

+1, it’s so transparent and sad. Predictable af.
