@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg I personally think that most men who marry DO indeed marry older women. Because very few women attain the age of 45 having never been married;

However, think about the year you got married vs. 2016's numbers of unmarried women in their 30s. The paradigm you lived is ending;

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg Essentially, the extent to which women sleep around while delaying marriage for education, earning, and experiences and the number of women who do, has reached record highs

This is totally unprecedented (and a huge market for Lululemon!)

What is beginning to happen is the end;

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg If you look back at the never marrieds graph, @mollistan , @0x49fa98 you will see that the manosphere is lying:

Women do not hit a Wall at 30 wherein the ghost of Pook or whatever whooshes into the unmarried girlboss fertility clinic and begins singing:

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg That would be funny, but actually, almost ALL women have married by 45 at least once. The proportion of nevermarried 45 year old women is remarkably stable over decades—about 10-15%.

Simp-ly: 90-85% of women have been getting married. However, look at the other slopes!

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg I offer that graph again with three others (and yes, the UK data is just like other OECD countries, but it's a prettier graph)

There are more unmarried women than ever, and they are older, fatter, and sluttier than ever. This is a fact.

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg As you can see from the fat graph, men are also pudgier than prior generational cohorts (and may I say, "It Must Be Jelly, 'Cause Jam Don't Shake Like That" in a more traditional US was clearly written approvingly about women, not men)

But—what else are they? sexually shut out:

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg You'll notice that not only is there a lopsided distribution of sex in the US (i.e. ever fewer men are having sex with ever more women in the ever lengthening period preceding ever later marriage), but male earnings have collapsed, sometimes to nothing, for about a *third* of men

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg What I believe is happening is exactly what Dalrock noted was happening: dalrock.wordpress.com/2019/09/09/the…

Men have begun realizing in larger proportions that nearly no women set the price of sex at marriage when youngest, prettiest, sexiest. Money might be a pre-requisite, but how much?

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg Those men who can obtain sex without bothering with a job, do so. Those men who want to compete with other men for reasons of achievement beyond mere access to women, do so.

The great bulk of men are not, however, coke dealers/musicians or fintech founders/oil&gas execs.

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg The great bulk of men are unremarkable, normal men. This is axiomatically true. True of women too but in terms of sexual distribution in the now decade+ between turning 18 (age at sexual debut has been falling in the US) and marriage, most of these women will be passed around.

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg We know how men and women rate each pther and we know with whom most have sex (if at all). We can infer the reality: most women are sexual entertainment for a decade or more for a small number of men.

Aforementioned men at the top and bottom are fine with this. Are most men?

@mollistan @0x49fa98 @sherylsandberg Ever larger proportions of men seem completely unmotivated to pursue education or produce economic surplus (something education helps with)

If you have read the preceding thread and can be honest; you know why:

The juice ain't worth the squeeze.
