In the last few decades (especially 2010s), marriage has transformed from a commitment to one another to basically a business arrangement.

Some guys go around saying things like, “there are good women out there, you just need to find them”

But what they’re missing is that the core component for successfully relationships with women is leverage.

Here’s an example: A guy would like to find a woman who will cook him dinner every day (and in exchange, he will provide the majority of the money).

Most women would not take up the offer for an average guy nowadays. Even though this was basically the exchange for western civilization.

However if you are sufficiently high value: - you make a ton of money - people talk to you with respect, they care about your words and decisions - you’re fit and look good

You can ask for whatever you want and women will be happy to oblige. You won’t get them all - there will be women who refuse - but you’ll have a greater number and women willing to oblige.

This rampant use of leverage is ruining modern relationships and making them weaker on both ends.
