[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The availability of sex without having to get married--less incentive to get a good job, attract a wife so as to be able to have sex [/quote]

Premarital sex means I didn’t get a good job ... no, you’re full of crap here.[/quote]

PP who posted that the availability of premarital sex gives men less incentive to get a good job. This is not my theory, I was simply reporting what different social scientists have put forth as explanations. This one comes from "Cheap Sex" by Mark Regnerus. My personal view with regard to this particular theory is that there is a 3rd factor causing both the decline in male employment and the rise of premarital sex. As society becomes more permissive, premarital sex becomes more the norm and some men choose to become slackers. The social pressure that would have prevented both in the past is no longer as strong.

High earning man here and I totally agree with this as a potential theory.  I don't think women can fathom how motivated men, especially young men are by sex. If women prized teachers and garbage men as much as doctor's and hedge fund managers, men would flock to the former instead of the latter.[/quote]

Hence the problem men inflict upon themselves. Not valuing what's actually important in life. [/quote]
