Said more succinctly . . . OP, you're an idiot.

Are they even both successful? She is a successful former child actress who seems to be bankable as an adult. He is a nepo baby who does … modeling?

Right? This will last 9 years, tops. Just like Bieber. None of these people will be together in a decade. No one can do it anymore. People just give no fks these days.

Thank you so, so much for compelling me to google "Justin Bieber married?" and confirm that not only is he still married, but has been married for 6 years. I don't see how your model for a failed marriage is someone who is STILL MARRIED. At least use someone who is actually divorced for your example!!!

I don't know why people hate this trend so much. Its not like marrying later improves strength or longevity of marriages. Just look up relationship forum at DCUM.

No evidence of "trend" even if you state that "it's official."

It is indeed a trend, among other trends i.e. staying single, marrying later improves strength, gray divorce etc.

Serious boys at elite colleges and Southern university fraternities. Smart boys consume most of the same social media influencing their female peers. There is pressure to hit these milestones and 'flex' them on social media. Engagement + wedding + buying a nice house together are all a huge 'flex' (achievement/status badge) to your peers. No high-achieving boys want to be some single Barstool dweeb obsessed with sports, using dating apps, and renting an apartment when they're 30.

So...Southern Frat bros. Got it. The young guys I work with (NYC finance) are not doing this. They're not worried about being a dweeb watching sports and using apps but they (mostly accurately) assume their dating prospects will rise with their success so they'd rather hold out for "better" late 20s or so then lock it down with someone they are dating at 20.

Obviously if they are coming from underprivileged backgrounds, have debt and don't have access to good partner material then they are indeed better off waiting for finding someone comparable or getting attention of pretty gold diggers.

"Serious boy" and "pressure to flex on social media" do not go together.

Boys don't really care about weddings and young men certainly don't swoon over wedding photos on social media the way you seem to think.
