This non-sex topic needs to be separated into its own discussion, because it's receiving attention in the DO40 subreddit.

Single Women Are More Likely To Own Homes Than Single Men In Nearly All States

Let's ignore the divorced women who get the houses upon divorce (the bread and butter of TRP and MRA). Let's ignore the widows who get the houses upon the death of their husbands.

Let's focus on the biological sex divide between first-time home buyers among women and first-time home buyers among men. This is a solid mid-life dating discussion.

It is true that there are more of those women than men. It should also be considered that women do get more help from The Bank of Mom and Dad than men.

The counterpoints, however, are as follows:

1) Such women are house-rich but cash poor.

2) College-educated men aged 35-45 continue to earn more. This was the subject of a recent thread on financially stable men.

3) The stock market outperforms real estate over the long term, unless it's a country that is knee-deep in a real estate bubble. College-educated men, including late bloomers, continue to be knee-deep into the stock market with their investments.

4) Many college-educated men, including late bloomers, are itching to change jobs again to earn even more money. For college-educated adults, this is the college-educated equivalent of the divide between female government workers and male workers in construction and oil & gas.

5) Many college-educated men, including late bloomers, are willing to chase the MBA credential.

The financial priorities of college-educated men, including late bloomers, do clash with the financial priorities of first-time home buyers among women, and especially clash if the latter are never-married single mothers.
