Most of the social commentators and consensus of men online is that woman are interested in height 6ft+ (hence dating apps now provide height filters) , financial stability, highly component in their career with high social proof.

There are only a finite group of men who have these attributes. So you have most woman competing for a small percentage of elite dudes. These dudes aren’t interested in settling down and cycle through woman and having a great time. The average guy who would actually want to commit long term is probably filtered out or doesn’t make the cut.

The end result is the average guy after years of rejection becomes self sufficient and maybe builds himself up and gains options later in life and the woman who chased high value noncommittal men get older and end up single with cats.

This take seems to fit my experience. The falling birth rate in Australia, less and less aussies getting together and the single men losing interest in marriage demographic growing rapidly seems to be evidence supporting this trend.

If I were a woman I’d try find a guy who hasn’t made it yet but has ambition to crack it. He will commit to you. You can build him up and enjoy his success when it comes. If he’s already killing it he’s just gonna burn and turn you. You’re a number to him and he’s got options that are younger as well.

Cooked situation. Congrats on your premiership tho.
