[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to find them early - by 25. You don’t have to get married by then, but you need them in hand. If they aren’t willing to be serous at that age, move on. Plenty of men want a best friend/serious partner by that age. You have to choose intelligence and potential - not wait until the potential is realized - by then it’s too late.[/quote]

This is largely true.  Most men are still romantics at that age and don't have many dating options.  This is the perfect time to lock down a guy who has Tier 1b/2 looks but Tier 1a earning potential.  It becomes much harder to lock these guys down once the numbers turn in their favor and they start seeing the material benefits of their hard work. [/quote]

There are way more women working to find a husband than there are men trying to find wives. Some perfectly nice women are going to miss the husband boat. I honestly think it’s half effort and half luck to find a good husband.[/quote]

That's a woman's POV.  It's usually a POV that develops in their late 20s to early 30s when what you say actually becomes the reality for them.

Women have ZERO agency in the popular narrative on dating dynamics.  97-99% are close to picture perfect, have great qualities any man should cherish and seek out financially stable and responsible men who would make great fathers starting at age 22.  The problem, they say, is a shortage of "quality" men for all of these high quality women.

The reality is that there are millions of men seeking to lock down quality women into LTRs.  Most women, at least the college-educated types that supposedly can't find their "equal," do get married after all.  But if you don't start dating seriously until 27-32, or have a host of other issues that sane men can spot from a mile away, then dating for marriage is going to be harder for you.  Women severely overestimate the number of "quality" women simply because they are not dating women.  [/quote]
