I definitely think it applies to the finance industry as well. Basically all of my friends are divorced men in their 40s because their spouses got sick of being married to no one.

The point poised above was that "Wealthy successful attractive men are having all the sex on demand and that's making it harder for the rest"

I offered a counter-view to that thought. Though I guess you could argue the point above isn't that new either. Wealthy attractive men have always been thought to have more sex or have more opportunity to have sex.

But. Do you want sex? And if/when you do how hard/easy it is for you to get it? And especially how easy it is for you to have sex with basically whoever you wish (eg attractive folks)?

Because it's very likely that there is a few percent of the population who are good looking, wealthy and prioritize having lots of sex, and they virtually occupy a much larger share of their target group than their group's size.

So there's a disparity. And lot of men want to emulate that lifestyle, which leads to them constantly not finding appropriate partners.

I would suggest that the be apart is that they don't marry out tradition/social norms anymore. They just stay single, because it's more okay to stay single for longer + no desire for kids
