Let’s face the reality. We hear all the time how men are lazy, bums, losers, etc. women all the time say that men need to step it up if they want to be considered for dating and marriage. Yet these same men today would have easily gotten married 30-40 years ago. It’s just the face that women now are just as educated and are making the same income as men. So the cost of living has exponentially increased because now everyone is making money. But in most major cities you need 2 incomes to survive. Women even average ones, will say that men need to be making way more than her (over 6 figures), and won’t even consider men who make the same income or less than them. It’s easy to tell a man just work harder, sure one can apply to as many jobs as possible that pay more, go back to school to pursue and advanced degree or certificate. But at the end of the day it’s easier said than done. Men can never win.
