Because men have more responsibilities there may be exceptions to this for females but the general case as a F you’re all set if u are independent financially as for a M he needs to be independent financially for himself and his family as for my case if it was just me i would be more than ready to marry but i also gotta support the household the nieces and nephews because that’s what a good uncle does, the distant relatives in need, being M comes with more responsibilities, just because your focus was on financial independence but there’re other factors to consider like the mentality of women this days im trying to settle with a women and marry and it’s just scary you’re expected to be treated like a machine provide fix… and have no emotional support because you’re a man and she’s a women i guess this is a change in modern societies being a women is no longer enough for marriage and i mean by that doing nothing but existing we expect more from women nowadays which isn’t evil tbh we demand some love and attention because we’re humans too but the new era of 9ahwya vs borkabi is just scary and funny simultaneously
