Because back in the day one of the primary selectors a woman used to pick a man to marry was whether or not he was financially stable enough to support her and a family.
a lot of women had to settle for guys they didn’t really want that much

That makes me think of someone I used to know.

As she put it, you don’t always marry the love of your life. In her case, I think she actually despised her husband.

It didn’t make sense to me at the time. But I think I can appreciate her plight, now.

He was the best worst option.

The men they married were matches for the better of the group and society and prioritized familial/community bonds. Now women could marry a dude they met on tinder a week ago.

The problem is are women prioritizing the right things when dating? Same goes for men.

What's happened is most men/women are growing up playing the "dating game" and then marriage is just an extended dating game to them. They're addicted to the vanity of dating where you never have to take off the mask, where both people try to match without ever revealing themselves.
