Removed. No outside links without a summary of the contents of those links.

this trend is just another facet of the current directionality

majority of women don't need a single provider now because taxes will pay for them. women who careermaxxed will fight over the shrinking pool of HVMs. sub80 men will increasingly be edged out of the relationship marketplace. chad stays winning

[–]Bandit174🦝 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't think it impacts the casual sex and early relationship market as much since those are more looks and excitement based than education/status based. However for marriage it will probably be harder for women to find a man who earns as much or more than they do especially if they want him to be equally as hot as the caliber of men they have grown accustomed to having casual sex with.

How will this trend affect the relationship/dating marketplace?

Women will increasingly see most men as poor dating material because they don't have the degrees that women value, and women with degrees will see themselves as "more valuable" because they have degrees.

We're already seeing this now.

and they all think theyre too good to be truck drivers too

[–]TheBookOfSeilAspiring hermit 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

I did trucking for 2 weeks. The lifestyle is not for everyone. Especially not extroverts.

[–]xQueen-Bxyeah whatever 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

yeh i mean thats fine, but the point is they think theyre too good for it, not that "its not for them"

[–]TheBookOfSeilAspiring hermit 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I don't think not wanting to do it is the same as thinking they're too good for it. Some people just aren't interested in driving trucks as a job, and most would probably be right to not be interested in it if they value their health and social life. The only people you regularly see on the road are the gas station attendants that you might have seen 3 weeks to 2 months ago while driving through that location. Otherwise, it's roughly 11 hours per day sitting behind the wheel with about 5 - 7 hours of sleep in between, and nobody else to talk to except the partner you're driving with.

yes my ex fiance was a line haul trucker, im very familiar with it. replace trucke rwith any non college trade. this generation thinks theyre too good for anything but college

[–]TheBookOfSeilAspiring hermit 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Idk about that. College is more seen as a right of passage for dumb kids into adulthood than it is for gaining an education and a career afterward, and the stats show that it's mostly women who possibly think that they're too good to be a truck driver or a tradesman. Those jobs typically require actual work.
