Shortage of economically attractive partners for unmarried women to marry

Mismatches in the Marriage Market
Daniel T. Lichter, Joseph P. Price, Jeffrey M. Swigert
04 September 2019
Objective: This article provides an assessment of whether unmarried women currently face demo-graphic shortages of marital partners in the U.S.marriage market.
Background: One explanation for the declines in marriage is the putative shortage of economically attractive partners for unmarried women to marry. Previous studies provide mixed results but are usually focused narrowly on sex ratio imbalances rather than identifying shortages on the multiple socioeconomic characteristics that typically sort women and men into marriages.
Methods: This study identities recent marriages from the 2008 to 2012 and 2013 to 2017 cumulative 5-year les of the American Community Survey. Data imputation methods provide estimates of the sociodemographic characteristics of unmarried women’s potential (or synthetic)spouses who resemble the husbands of otherwise comparable married women. These estimates are compared with the actual distribution of unmarried men at the national, state, and local area levels to identify marriage market imbalances.
Results: These synthetic husbands have an average income that is about 58% higher than the actual unmarried men that are currently available to unmarried women. They also are 30%more likely to be employed (90% vs. 70%) and19% more likely to have a college degree (30%vs. 25%). Racial and ethnic minorities, especially Black women, face serious shortages of potential marital partners, as do low socioe=conomic status and high socioeconomic status unmarried women, both at the national and sub-national levels.Conclusions: This study reveals large decitsin the supply of potential male spouses. One implication is that the unmarried may remain unmarried or marry less well-suited partners.

Liberated women shouldn't need an "economically attractive" man.

The natural result of feminism and an anything goes attitude toward women having sex with anyone and everyone.
Women are told to focus on their careers and put marriage off until they have established their careers, with the feminist lie being that men find a woman with a career attractive. Wrong, the only thing men give a shite about is if you are hot or not.
So women spend their prime years focusing on their career, then when they are ready to settle down in their 30s they are past their prime and have hit the wall and the Chads they use to tease and frick around with are no longer interested in them anymore.
That is what the real shortage is. Not a shortage of men, its a shortage of Chads interested in them. The Chads who gave these women attention in their 20s no longer find them attractive enough in their 30s, and instead just continue to go for younger women in their 20s. So women either have to be single and lonely cat ladies, or settle with a beta male that repulses them(see: The Jared "lets see where this goes" commercial.)

My first thought is wouldn't you get similar results in the past, even when more people became and stayed married?

2 observations:
1- single women, on average, are piss poor at raising boys.
2- why buy the cow, and pay 1/2+ in the divorce, when you can milk it anytime you want and the government will pay for the occasional baby oops.
Just saying.

synthetic husbands
If a woman marries one of these, is it OK for him to provide her a synthetic diamond?

Meh. I blame cats. Single women who have cats will remain single forever.
I guarantee every one of you knows a girl whose hopelessly single.
BECAUSE SHE OWNS A frickING CAT.

Women want to be paid equally to men to rid themselves of the “gender pay gap”
Women want to marry men that make more than them.
Women complain because enough men don’t make more than them

So millennial males are beta with no drive and millennial women are all faux femnazis?

So besides sex and kids, what can these women wanting marrying up do for the men?
They usually aren't as smart, usually are less interesting (not including drama), and are mentally boring. What exactly do they bring to the table for someone who is successful, has some brains, and wants a relationship thats stimulating?
I disagree, I've seen quite a few women look better at 30 and 35 than 20.

Strong math in this article.

I'm married to a very challenging woman. She was one of those who focused on developing a career. We met when she was 31. 2 years later, we married. 2 years later we had a child together. We've been together almost 23 years.
Besides the fact that she looks like Marilyn Monroe, I found it attractive that she was motivated to be something other than a wife and mother. I'm sure she found it attractive that I had a career track. Together, we do very well economically and are both well respected professionally in our respective business worlds, but truthfully, it has its challenges.
We both need to travel on business. We have home responsibilities that include children, pets and volunteerism. Both being in positions of responsibility (me nationally and her internationally) requires an enormous amount of schedule coordination between us, and frankly, it gets tiring. Because we're both challenged on time, we both also have to play the traditional roles of each.
We are fortunate to be able to afford the things we can, and to fund our kids' education, but there's times when making a lot less and having a simpler life sure seems attractive.
Anyway, different men want different things from a woman. Some look for a woman that enjoys hunting. Some look for the trophy wife to show off. Some look for a homemaker and mother. No matter which it is, the "perfect match" always comes with hidden imperfections that eventually show up. You make it work or not. The problem for women is they ALWAYS look for perfection and can't deal with any imperfections very well. If they start out looking for perfection and don't find it, eventually, they settle for imperfections and then hold it against the guy for not being their "ideal". Its just how they are. Never expect more than they are naturally wired and you should be good.

Women: Men get paid way more than us and it's not fair!
Also Women: There aren't enough economically attractive men making boatloads of cash for me to marry!
Seriously, we're gonna have to pick one narrative and stick with it. I don't care which one, but frick I'm starting to get real dizzy.

How about a study of the dearth of physically and emotionally attractive women.

TL;DR - Too many gold diggers, not enough sugar daddies.

All this thread has proven is that Gavin McInnes was again, 100% correct when he said this:

God that’s such a great clip.

"The big picture here is women do earn less in America because they choose to. They would rather go to their daughter’s piano recital than stay all night at work, working on a proposal so they end up earning less. They're less ambitious. I think this is nature's way of saying women should be at home with the kids. They're happier there,"
