You may find this funny but the lack of buxxers is the #1 reason for the decline in marriage. Now you may say, women want "chad" only. Yes, but he doesn't stay around so that's why they end up marrying the "safe option with money" who they'll never be truly attracted to.

First of all, men must acknowledge that in the modern age, there are more women going to school and getting "educated" in something than ever, and then they go on to make the national average. There are more women in post secondary than men. While, most men keep and multiply their wealth, women still only get wealthy by 2 things. That is either through marrying a wealthy man and then divorcing, or they inherit wealth from their father's. Source 1, Source 2. Also, studies show, women hold more debt and are more irresponsible with their money, compared with men. Also, women hold 2/3 of all student debt.

When a man and woman is making the same, a woman is biologically programmed to go for a guy who is making more than her, and who is more higher of status, especially, when it comes to choosing a long term partner. For the short term, they'll screw the guy who makes her 🐱 tingle, and she won't look at his finances/status etc. But for the long term? His finances and his status matter's the most, as studies show.

Ironically, when a lot of men and women are making the national average, women then will only go for the men who are in the top 10% money wise. Hence, the 80/20, 90/10 rule come into play. That 80% of women, go for the top 20% of men etc. What you must understand is, biologically, women only care about their survival and the survival of their offspring. They will choose a man that ensures her and her offsprings survival because women instinctively know, they're too weak to operate alone.

A smart woman knows, a patriarchal society will benefit and protect her in many ways, no matter on the contrary what their obese fèminíst "kweens" say. Feminist "kweens" will say that, women are "strong, free and independent and don't need men" but deep down, they know they need men. If all these men who work at oil fields, construction and who do all the "dirty labor jobs" were to stop working for a day, society would collapse.

If women did not need men, then the #1 reason of decline in marriage wouldn't be "lack" of economically attractive men. Women instinctively know, they were created physically and mentally weak and since the cavemen days, they have latched on to whatever high value male they could find, that would ensure their survival and the survival of their offspring. When the invading tribe warriors came to invade, women latched on the most powerful man they could find that would "protect" them, and in return, she provided him sex and children. This was just the way it worked, since the beginning of time. But these days, women sleep only with the men that they're sexually attracted to, while they only marry someone that is resourceful because the very sèxually attractive guy doesn't stay around. The study basically proves that, women are gold diggers LOL when it comes to marriage.

But every man must understand, rich men don't make her wet. Meaning, make her sexually attracted towards you. When a women see's any rich or resourceful guy, in her eyes, it's (Yess lifelong comfortable income guy). By you driving the best car for the validation of women, showing off your wealth and what not, is making yourself look like a fool with a badge that says, "I'm a beta provider, pick me." Of course, why wouldn't any women pick you? You love getting used, and women love using and extracting resources from you, while she will be giving herself away for free to the Alphas.

A woman wants a mix of many qualities in a man. She wants him to be a rich Alpha, that will put in her place, while being a "gentleman" on the street so "people" can say, "look at that happy couple!" But little do the beta provider men know, back in her college/university years, she was giving herself away for free to the Chad's/Alpha's. All the Tyrones/Enrico's/Pookies degraded her for free in many ways possible, and now, you have to pay for her because she only looks at your "financial status" for marriage.

Alpha's/Chad's get what they want from a woman, without having to provide anything. They simply don't care. They will pump and dump, while a woman knows that this guy will be unreliable, she will still stay with him in order to "change" him. But, he'll never change. Alpha's never stick around, because they have many options. Women are biologically attracted to unreliable men, because they give her that emotional rollercoaster. You really think that, after she has experienced an Alpha, she will be happy with a lifelong comfortable income Dr Kareem, who is boring and very predictable? Nope. She will be drier than the Sahara Desert for him and will eventually manipulate him with sex, and use it as a weapon.

Women have 2 great needs, which can only be fulfilled by 2 types of men. Their need for sex, and their need for financial security and emotional support. The need for sex can only be fulfilled by an Alpha, but he's emotionally unavailable, while their need for security can be fulfilled by a beta. (I don't mean to disrespect them as most of them, are actually good hearted and kind men, but for the sake of giving example, I'm calling them 'beta') The beta because, he doesn't have many options and will always be loyal to her, and she knows she can win him over easily and manipulate him. While for an Alpha? Women will compete to be exclusive to him but little do they know, because he has so many options, he will never stick around. And then, these women get heartbroken and become emotionally broken women. Aka Alpha widowed.

Anyways. All men must remember in the modern age, marriage = you're a beta and the statistics show this itself. She will make all the rules for the guy who she wants to marry, while she will break the rules for a guy who she just wants to F. Marriage is a joke in the West. Women can never truly be attracted to their beta buxx hubbies. While she's having sex with him, (if he gets any, other than for procreation) you know what gets her off? Thinking about her past sexathons with the guys who degraded her in all ways possible, and she loved it! While her current husband thinks she's "pleased" with him with his 2 stroke special, because he has no experience with women. Brutal for these guys.

In conclusion, all men must remember, if you marry in the West in the modern age, you're seen as beta in her eyes. She's not attracted to you at all. She's only attracted to the lifelong comfortable income you have (Not me saying, literally, it's the statistics) and because you're a stable/reliable guy. She doesn't get wet for you, like how she got wet for her exes. But you? You still think she "loves" you, until oh, well, more than 50% of marriages end up in divorce while women initiate 80-90% of divorces.

And, again, going back to the title of the post, women base their marriage/long term partner off by his income only, but not anything else.**

Tldr; In summary, by the time women want an "economically attractive man" is because the "physically attractive men" won't settle with them. So the economically attractive man is the "second best" and "safe option" simply put.
