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.

> become the temporary play thing of dozens of men

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.

That's an another angle I haven't thought about. Thank you for sharing.

is he saying your daughter will become a whore and your son an incel and that being an incel is better than being a whore?

Basically yes.

It only depends on how good advances in antibiotics will be...

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.

Frightening to think of as a parent
