This story discusses a Cornell study that says the reason that US marriage rates are at an all time low is because there is a shortage of economically attractive men.  They are labeling economically unattractive as lacking a bachelors degree or making less than $40,000 a year.  Apparently women are reluctant to "marry down" so are remaining single instead.  Assuming this study is valid, why do you think there is such a shortage of men who are "economically attractive" to women?[/quote]

[b]MRA wishful thinking Footnote:[/b] "Economically unattractive men, however, couldn't care less, are leading happier lives than their married, economically attractive counterparts, a[b]nd are having regular sex[/b]."[/quote]

I fixed that for you. The idea that broke men are having more sex was not in this article. Every research article I’ve read suggests the opposite (as does annectodal personal experience.)

[b]Living in your mom’s basement is not attractive. Never has been, never will be - no matter how much you wish it so. [/b]
