re: Shortage of economically attractive partners for unmarried women to marry

While I think this is true generally, but I'd argue that men are more willing to marry "down" economically absent other options. Women generally aren't.

True.

I do think it is funny however that women bitch incessantly about the shite men "judge" them for when evaluating potential mates and then, act like all the things women judge men for are completely valid.

I don't mind that both sexes use self interest when evaluating mates because that's normal. It's just comical that women act like it isn't........until it is

Absolutely true. That’s the reality behind the Cinderella story. I’m perfectly willing to go kill the mammoth and drag it home if you’re cute, nice, and do a good job of taking care of the cave and the babies. Don’t really care if you’re a maid or a millionaire. In fact, knowing how the world works, I’m less likely to be interested in you if you’re a millionaire because doing what you have to do to land a high powered career makes you less fit to care for the cave and the babies.

I was returning from a business trip and was sitting next to a young lady and what I assumed to be her son. Turns out she was the nanny and
power mom was riding in first class. I guess when you get done outsourcing production to China at the office there isn’t much to do besides outsource parenting to the nanny. No thanks.
