South Korea: The only middle power of its kind

A man can always always find another woman if one does not want a family with him up until mid-thirties. A lot of time.

If you filter out the overweight, tattoo-covered ones, having kids by another man etc. you are left with just a few percent though.

In comparison to Russia, or China, America is a paradise for late marriage.

The higher up you are on the social ladder, the quicker are the spouses taken from the marriage market.

I was fortunate to go into somewhat prestigious highschool back in Russia. The last 3 bachelors from my class are all the people who managed to get it abroad.

Everybody else was gone by mid-twenties, anybody with higher education by 23 at most.

Seeing an unmarried woman with PhD level education, job, own roof over her head, and no skeletons in the closet over 30 in Russia is likely a hallucination. In Canada, I met new such almost monthly, and I grew rather rather complacent.
