You know why?
Because women don't want to live a simple life anymore.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned. But I want to have a small house, a little property, and live comfortably, make enough money to go on vacation once or twice a year some years, and just live simply. I don't spend tons of money, I don't eat out very often, I cook all my own food, I live a very inexpensive lifestyle.
But that's not what women want. Women don't want to indulge in their hobbies. Writing, drawing, reading, gaming, hiking, whatever.
Women have wanderlust. They want to go to Hawaii. Then they want to go to Burning Man. Then they want to go to the city to go clubbing. Then they want to do this. Then they want to do that. They feel suffocated if they have to stay in one place too long.
They want to live the Dan Bilzerian lifestyle. They want to be on endless road trips. Endless getaways. Endless spontaneous adventures - normally paid for by men they leach off of, the proto-Bilzerians who have harems of these chicks.
And if a woman isn't indulging in this wanderlust, she's saving up to make it a reality, trying to find a rich boyfriend who can indulge her wanderlust, and generally steering her entire life in that direction.
They see these celebrities in all the magazines and the celebrities are always on the move. Superyachts, club promoting, instagram modeling, staying at exotic hotels for free.
Do you think ANY modern woman wants "the simple life"? No. If YOU want the simple life they think you're SCUM and not worthy of their consideration.
The only women who DO want the simple life are fat breeders who have no hobbies, no interests, and feel their goal in life is to have children. My brother married a chick like that. It was a complete and total disaster.
So what do men do who want the simple life? They drop out of society. They shun women. They forget about ever finding their happily ever after.
Cause in this cultural climate, they never will.
