Back in the day, it made sense to enter monogamous relationships. Most women weren’t allowed to earn a living, they couldn’t have kids on their own or own property, or keep themselves safe/free from violence.

However now, women can work and have kids on their own, they can buy and operate weapons, own their own property.

Most women I know often date down. Men are less like to be university educated, and therefore unless he’s an exceptional man he’s probably likely to earn less than her. Most men are not good home makers and have to be nagged to clean and take care of their own children.

Unless he’s exceptionally wealthy, good looking or loving and respectful....there’s literally no point in settling for 70% of men.

Personally, having been in plenty of good and bad relationships with men....I don’t see any net positives.
