Take it from a serial dater male with great success on tinder/bumble.. the lives of many women is substantially worse than even guys that can't get a date. Unless you do a great job explaining the purpose of dating (courting?), There is a very high chance she'll simply become the temporary play thing of dozens of men. And being smart and well educated seems to have basically little to do with it.. I know many more married hair dressers than I do girls in tech. And beyond that... Many that ARE married are basically angry at life because they settled and are not sexually attracted to their husbands even. I almost thing men have it easier.. which you can verify for yourself if you look up depression stats and prescription stats.

That's a natural result of only selecting for the 20% who know they can play the field. The "I deserve a prince with a high income" types are all in competition with each other for a limited resource. Men aren't to blame for that.

I was not saying that. I was saying that just having a girl doesn't automatically put things on easy mode for her (or you as a parent) because girls have their own set of challenges they didn't face just a generation or two ago.

majority of wealthy wives are on anti-depressants, according to a pharmacist friend who works in a wealthy zip code in North NJ.

May or may not be true in general, but there's an obvious selection effect on who your pharmacist friend is exposed to.
