>STUDY: Women don’t want to get married just because men make more money

>One of the most dramatic and controversial social trends in recent decades has been the widespread decoupling of marriage and childbearing. While the unmarried childbearing rate declined slightly in 2015 from a high in 2008, 40 percent of the U.S. women giving birth were unmarried — with the rate being even higher for women without a college degree.

>There are a lot of theories about why this is true. But one widespread theory is that declining fortunes for the working class and increased income inequality have resulted in a dearth of marriageable men. Women have told polling firms like the Pew Research Center that they want to marry a man with a steady job: So if they become pregnant, the theory goes, they will decline to marry the father until he has improved economic prospects. In turn, this theory suggests that steady, better-paying jobs in a community should lead to higher marriage rates.

>But a new paper published in the National Bureau of Economic Research cast cold water on that idea. In a clever move, researchers looked at parts of the country with a boom in fracking, bringing new jobs in the oil and gas industries and an uptick in wages for working-class men. People in such areas did have more children, but contrary to researchers’ expectations, the marriage rate did not rise.

that's because they would rather fuck around and use up all of their prime breeding years riding every cock they can get

>researchers looked at parts of the country with a boom in fracking
All those places are fugged now thanks to the oil price crash. It's almost like they knew the jobs were temporary.

Marriage is dead because we have shifted our expectations. Marriage was something people did because they put the children first. They no longer do that just assuming everything would work out. We also had it harder in general. Which made everyone pull together.

Either way children are suffering for our change.

>brain wash an tenure generation of woman to retarded whores and a men to be pussy faggots
>blame the plummeting birth rates in "income inequality"

This is worse than Orwell predicted.

The rich Chad is the government now, retard.

Wasn't there just some 47 year old cow writing about how professional women don't want to get married because men don't make as much as they do?

underrated.

this

women don't need to get a man anymore, they just leech off of the state instead

When white people have a flash mob:

youtube.com/watch?v=qgguEZCE3Dk

I conducted I scientific experiment with 100,000 women where I asked them which twin they would marry, the rich one or the poor one. 99% wanted the rich twin. Both looked the same obviously and weren't allowed to talk.

Yup. Who cares about a relationship if Daddy Government is there to help out? Assuming you ignore government assistance, no strong independent modern woman needs a man.

>SALON

I remember that one. It was a black female writer.

>Why are modern men choosing to play video games rather than working hard and getting married?

So they just want a chad? Who would have guessed.

>Dear Nice Guy

No thanks babe. Who wants a used up woman? Frankly, your pussy isn't worth it anymore, assuming it ever was.

>Dear Nice Guy, I Wasn’t Ready For You Before — But I Am Now

>I don’t know you yet but I’m so ready to date you. Seriously, I am.

>For a long time, I dated bad boys. Yes, I was that girl you blame for always coming in last.

>I guess I dated bad boys because, somehow, I liked their unavailability, sexy sideways glances, and late-night calls. I fed off the chase and mystery they provided me. I saw them as a challenge that I always happily accepted. Let me tell you, I’ve dated so many jerks throughout the years. A lot of times, I ended up being disappointed with how it ended with them, and wondered why I always had such blind optimism about these guys I clearly knew were jerks to begin with.

>But to be honest, I don’t regret any of it now.

>With all that being said, I’m ready to date a Nice Guy. I’ve learned all the lessons I need to learn from bad boys.

The study is flawed, obviously.

Far too many variables to isolate on a few and extrapolate from too little data.

People adapt.

>The contrast of findings between the context of the cool boom and bust of the 1970s and 1980s and the fracking boom of the 2000s is consistent with the notion that social context matters. In the earlier period, when non-marital births were still far from the norm, couples responded to the increase in earnings with increased rates of marriage and increased marital births, but no increase in births outside of marriage. In the later period, both marital and nonmarital births increased significantly in response to the positive economic shock. And unlike 13 We use this modified age range because in the 1970 census there are two age groups available: 15-24 and 25-34. 31 during the Appalachian coal boom, there is no discernible increase in marriage in response to the positive local economic shock associated with fracking.
Literally MGTOW generation lol.

My wife makes more money and works much more than me

:)

this the type of ass niggers with BBC like.

...

There's so much propaganda that women don't know what they want anymore. All they know is that they're unhappy no matter what they do. And that's exactly how they'll remain under (((their))) control.

>makes more money and works much more than me

What was your life like, growing up black?

Yes, when they're 20-27 they don't want to get married. They want to ride the cock carousel because they can. When they hit 30, Chad no longer looks in their general direction and they want to get married.

women dont want to get married because not enough men meet their unrealistic expectations

that is all there is to it

>All they know is that they're unhappy no matter what they do

And that all of their unhappiness is some man's fault.

I wonder when society will reach a tipping point with this marriage crisis, where they can't simply blame men for not manning up, especially when even so called good rational well paying males can't tolerate modern women? I can't wait for that day to come.

My GF wants to get married more than even I do and she makes six figures as a psychotherapist. Meanwhile I'm a NEET. Most of the general stigma Sup Forums comes up with are idiotic and really only believed by underage b8 and autists

single man can manage on his own and if he has carrier he can pull 20 yrs old even when he is 40. men doesnt age basicaly unlike women

>where they can't simply blame men for not manning up

That is the thing - and we are seeing it play out in the US on a national stage right now - when white men are in a minority, then fairness goes away.

They will always blame white men, even while they are beating the last flesh off of the last corpse of the last white man.

We will be blamed for the lights not working after we are gone.

We will be blamed for the broken infrastructure.

We will be blamed for all of the black men who rape everyone.

We will be blamed for everything.

Until the memory of us has faded to dust.

Just like civilization, without white men.

___________

Within a couple of hundred years, whites will be completely gone from the land, genocided out of existence by people we tried to uplift, sadly.

Then the world devolves into chaos.

Here is a thought experiment - Imagine that it is 1000 years from now.

A spacecraft from an advanced alien civilization flies by the Moon, notices the artifacts there, like the Moonbuggy and the LEM, does a quick analysis and determines that the artifacts are approximately 1000 years old.

The aliens happily fly onwards towards Earth, ready to welcome Earth into the peaceful Federation of Planets.

Now imagine their disappointment when the aliens land and see decaying remnants of buildings and the entirety of brown-skinned humanity living in crude huts, poking overturned logs for grubs.

And shitting on the ground.

The aliens go sadly back to their spacecraft and fly away.

Life without White people.

Assuming you're telling the truth, you're a NEET with little life experience. Anyone who's ever attended a western college or university, or who has ever gotten a job with most of the employees being in their 20's and early 30's can tell you otherwise.

Kingdom Hearts sure has fallen

Not to sound like an asshole but she was clearly too stuck-up.

Don't worry Asian man will pick up flag of the civilization.

When scientists have to do studies to prove that the myth that women are golddigging sluts isn't true, my neurons start bojangling.

Well they are certainly showing promise on the continent of Africa.

Keeping savages in line is a hard thing to do.

Hello Seth.

Seth who?

Can we just kill every woman and replace them with robots?

We can grow kids in labs.

I wonder if she would have married any old man who treated her well and wanted to love her?

That has to beat suicide, doesn't it?

Or was she so fucked in the head that if she couldn't have THE PERFECT MAN, she was going to off herself?

Because that is just sad.

NO on the killing,

But YES on the sexbots.

Who wouldn't want a beautiful sex robot who happens to be cheerily multi-functional?

Frankly if scientists can get a good realistic sex robot to be the price of a car or thereabouts, then men will suddenly ignore biological pussy.

She cooks.

She cleans the toilets.

She recharges in a closet for a couple of hours while you are at work (battery tech is getting more and more amazing).

She will wash your car in your front yard, to the envy of all neighbor men.

All she wants to do is please you and then give you a relaxing massage (and only about half of the women I have ever dated could give a decent massage, or wanted to -- though they loved to get one).

Or a good hot bath where she washes your back and then hits all the fun spots with a glee indistinguishable from any other girlfriend you ever had. And better than most.

She can come programmed with audiobooks, too, for when you want to lay there in post-coital darkness and bliss and read a book.

AND SHE NEVER GETS TIRED!

But Feminists want Sexbots to be banned in the UK and the US.

>Canada, too, probably.

I can't wait for the suicide epidemic.

All those girls hitting their 30's now, delicious, delicious . . .

Marriage had turned into a meme. It's basically giving a women a gun pointing it to your head and saying don't pull the trigger. Divorce has turned into who can get the most money and the guy almost always gets fucked over. It's just not worth the risk.

I moved in with an attractive woman in her early 30s.

She told me she had been planning on killing herself if she didn't find love. And that I saved her life.

She then cheated on me with her ex boyfriend from college and later married him after I left her

>I guess I helped her get past a bad time in her life, so I did a good deed.

Women are selfish and narcissistic whores

It's shit like this that make me want to 2D only

Watch how quickly governments and media move to address this issue after decades of ignoring male suicide.

Glad I didn't marry her.

I heard she was divorced now, with a couple of kids.

I don't feel sorry for him and I sure don't feel sorry for her.

She grew up pretty in a world that valued prettiness over personality or intellect.

Now that she isn't so pretty...

...

>declining fortunes for the working class and increased income inequality have resulted in a dearth of marriageable men.

>marriageable

This. I read something completely contradictory in Jet.

not gonna read this shit thread but women find ability attractive, as in, not how rich you are but how well you can get rich and maintain your life. also good skills w kids

>not how rich you are but how well you can get rich and maintain your life

That is just something women say to make themselves feel better for being gold-digging whores.

Truly.

what the fuck does any of this bullshit matter when marriage rates are at their lowest point in history.

Is the redlight district in Amsterdam still a thing, user?

How about Utrecht?

>Just curious

Stupid fools they said, "steady jobs". They don't marry a boomtown Chad. Just take his seed and drain his wealth.

Always live with a woman at least a year before you marry her anons.

people dont get married because it costs a fucking fortune these days.

I wish my lazy bitch wife made more than me.

This, I toured 3 wedding venues this week and including bar, dj and cake all of them are over $15,000. I graduated 5 days ago, the wedding is in two years and after loans I take home $80 a week like wtf

>all of them are over $15,000

That money could go towards a house.

Why all the shit?

You are just as married if an old man reads some words in a civil ceremony down at the court house, user.

Because I measure my success by the happiness of my fiance, and because I refuse to give her a child I make it up in other ways
Say want you want about women, but I found one that I know I can tolerate and love for 50+ years so I'm pulling the trigger

It really is about a lack of a good father figure that damages women. It usually takes years for women to get over these issues.

>Say want you want about women, but I found one that I know I can tolerate and love for 50+ years

No man has ever said that before, user.

Ever.

Good luck to you.

>Protip - live with her first for a long time.

Don't get a bar and a DJ, that shit is degenerate. Just immediate family and close friends at a small church.

Thank you user, lived together for 2.5 years

>import third worlders
>there are a lot of theories about why third world shit is happening

>don't get a bar
I'm from a fraternity, me and all of my guests are alcoholics
>so get help
But I like being an alcoholic

>be complete slut
>where did all the good men go?

>>Sup Forums: "Women are gold diggers. They just want some rich Chad!"
>>study: "That's false."

Rich Chad, not random rich ugly guy who's not even famous or anything. You read the article wrong, it's that "just being rich" isn't enough anymore.

Yeah, this is another reason. The same root cause of immigration, socialism, etc
> me me me! fuck tradition and responsibility, me want good feels!

>I'm from a fraternity.
So you're doing it for your guests, not your wife and yourself. The day is only for you two, nobody else.
Typical American, want to live lavishly and complain when it costs a lot.

Fair

>Sup Forums: "Women are gold diggers. They just want some rich Chad!"
>study: "That's false."

wait wait wait... isn't it like the opposite ?

My wedding cost less than half that. It was a small church in the country with only immediate family. No alcohol, no DJ, just us. It was wonderful, and anything more would have distracted from the day.
