I've never seen a marriage last where faith in Jesus was not a part of the equation

You need to meet more people.

The numbers speak for themselves. Even if they stayed together they're fricking miserable

That's just sort of the inherent persona of old Jewish couples. They aren't really miserable. At least I don't think so.

If they scroll social media long enough they will find something to make them miserable that impacts their mood. A prettier women, someone is eating out and they aren’t, someone on a date, it is inevitable. Instagram is a disaster for women.

Some brief research indicates this current day 25% number for females is inaccurate. It's more like 35 to 40%. I have no idea where this chart got the most recent figure. They did not cite any sources.

Had to go into bank to deal with acct stuff. Small talk by banker while waiting for response from their corporate HQ. She asked how long you been married, and then said I been with the same guy for 14 years and I'll never get married bc I'm not going to get trapped, I'm not that kind of woman. Has a couple kids. Said b/f popped question 2 times and she said NO. I was kinda caught off guard. She rather not deal with people, while she's making a living in a customer service setting. You can't figure a 30 something year old woman out.

Look at real wages vs costs of housing across the same time period and you likely have a lot of your answers as to why. Men put off marriage until they’re financially stable enough to support a family. Declining purchasing power means they reach stability later in life.

Correlation vs. causality. This board wants to blame women when the real factors vary.

$$$ Hoes …

My kids married under 25, still married.

One has kids, one doesn’t and after 17 years of marriage I don’t think she’s going to have any.

Doesn’t know how much she’s lost by not having any. I expect one day it will hit her and realize it’s too late.

Cliff notes: women will never date down

Just wait until those women see a wedding ring on your finger. Oddly enough, I’ve drawn more attention with a ring (from women and men) than
I ever did without a ring. It’s flattering, but odd.

Also, if more women are married by age 30 than men, then who are these women 30 and under men marrying? Older men.

So dudes in your 20s…focus on your job and maximize your wealth. By the time you pass 30, the younger broads will find you more attractive than they ever did in their 20s.

It’s also interesting that women have always married at a higher rate before age 30 than men during the same era, and the gap has always been around 10%.

Conclusion: women have always sought out older men at the same rate and no other societal change has changed it.
