This week there’ve been a rash of articles all outlining the latest statistics about marriage in this decade. US marriage rates are at a 150 year low and, if you believe the all-female article writers, it’s of course men’s fault for failing to be marriageable. These articles are referencing a study published last week titled Mismatches in the Marriage Market and this study reveals large deficits in the supply of potential male spouses. One implication is that the unmarried may remain unmarried or marry less well‐suited partners.
That’s right gentlemen, you’re unmarriageable and the ladies want you to shape up. If you want to experience marital bliss – despite all the inherent personal dangers for men in today’s “marriage economy” – you must make yourself “economically attractive“:
“Most American women hope to marry, but current shortages of marriageable men — men with a stable job and a good income — make this increasingly difficult,” says lead author Daniel Lichter in a press release.
The stats don’t lie and they are pretty bleak. More women are enrolled in college than ever before and more are expected to enter through the middle of the coming decade. Now, a degree doesn’t guarantee a woman a job, and it says nothing about the majors and job sectors women prefer, but a college education does reinforce the idea that women are entitled to marry an economically attractive man who himself has an education and enough aspiration to make something of himself to become marriageable.
That’s some real shit right there and we’re not even half way through this post. We’ve gotten to the point where the truth of the past five decades is apparent; gendered politics has actively, openly, disadvantaged men in terms of education. Whether this hobbling of men is via educational dispensations (Title IX) or social conventions (divorce, child support, Duluth model feminism) the outcome is now unignorable.
In most western societies today there is a separate standard of justice that applies to women. Women are receive far fewer consequences and are sentenced much more leniently than men for committing the exact same crimes. These are easily proven statistics, but even when they are brought to light the gynocentric social order doubles down and justifies them because, women.
My intent here today isn’t to depress anyone. Neither am I drawing attention to this because I’ve made a new turn to the Men Rights Movement. No doubt there’ve been many article already written about the female hubris inherent in these revelations – revelations the Red Pill community has been pointing out for almost two decades now.
The manifestations of about 50 years of social changes produced by a feminine-primary social order are unignorable. Even mainstream media sources are finally seeing these stories as the red meat du jour for the masses now. A lot of the Red Pill principles and I and many other men in the Manosphere have been drawing attention to about intersexual dynamics are now coming to light in popular consciousness.
Aww Quit Complaining
Last year I delivered the State of the Manosphere Address, and in that talk I outlined the rise of what I saw as a new Gender War (or gender cold war). Naturally I was called a reactionary, and have been since described as “overly negative” even by the organization that asked me to deliver that speech. But yet, everything in that outline has come to pass in less than a year. Of course, the easy dismissal is to blame this on election year propaganda. More than one mainstream talkshow conservative has jumped on the Toxic Masculinity bandwagon, pointing out how the Left and mainstream feminism are one and the same.
However, there have been many swings of the political pendulum in the past 50 years. Conservative zeitgeists have contributed to the same feminine-primary social order that’s resulted in men being unmarriageable today. It’s just been good politics to appeal to the Feminine Imperative no matter what side of the political aisle you happen to sit on.
But I’m a man. I’m not supposed to be overly concerned with issues like this. As long as I’m measuring up to my Burden of Performance any marginal raising-of-awareness to truths like the ones above make me seem like I’m complaining. And that’s something men are never allowed to do. It’s a very effective way of silencing men. Get them to feel like they ought to silence themselves. Real men don’t complain.
Meanwhile, it’s Broke Men who are hurting American Women’s Marriage Prospects. My good friend Dalrock once wrote a series of post around the idea that feminism would be so much more successful if men would only cooperate with it. When women are unable to optimally complete their mating (and life’s) strategies it’s men’s fault for being uncooperative. It’s men’s fault when women’s life plans don’t come together as Sheryl Sandberg told them it would. It’s men’s fault when they won’t play the approved role they should when women hit their Epiphany Phase and their sexual priorities shift.
Confirming the Red Pill
If you needed a better illustration of the Solipsism inherent in women’s nature you’ll be hard pressed to find it on a bigger scale than the dozens of stories bemoaning the lack of marriageable men today. Furthermore, it goes to prove another Red Pill truth: as a man, women don’t care who you are as much as what you are. I’ve taken a lot of heat over the years over my assessment of how men and women have different concepts of love. Men love idealistically. I rarely get any pushback on that assertion, but when I layout how women’s Hypergamous natures predispose them to a concept of love based on opportunism men and women lose their minds.
Yet, here we are. Women enthusiastically proving my point for me without me having to do any heavy lifting. As women become more comfortable in Open Hypergamy we see this embracing of their nature proudly flaunted. Naturally women will double down on this.
“Of course women don’t wanna marry no bum!”
And then the Trad-Cons join the chorus,
“It’s men’s fault they aren’t measuring up to being the men all women are entitled to.”
There are dozens of studies that correlate divorce with women earning more than their husbands. In fact, women are reluctant to admit that they out-earn their husbands. Throughout the history of this blog I’ve shown the evolved reasons for this dynamic, but what the articles all dance around is women’s natural evolutionary desire for men who exceed them in all aspects. But because we’ve opted to believe in, and standardized on, social constructionism we lay all of that on “societal expectations” of men and women. In a future essay I’ll be defining how the cope of humans being ‘above it all’ in their evolved instincts is the root source of many deliberate misgivings about intersexual conflict. For now, understand that blaming any inconvenient intersexual truth on a nebulous “society” is the go-to rationale for a feminine-primary social order.
“If only men would evolve and rise above what society foists on them we women would be happy” versus “Men need to accommodate women’s success by making themselves more ‘economically desirable’“
And “Oh, but love is important too, *wink wink*.”
“Many young men today have little to bring to the marriage bargain, especially as young women’s educational levels on average now exceed their male suitors’,” Lichter says.
It’s interesting that some articles advocate for marriage as a “stabilizing force” in society, all while never (maybe deliberately) seeing the economic risks of disaster that the divorce industry incentivizes in women. There’s nothing stabilizing about promoting marriage between men you’ve deemed “economically unattractive” and women who feel entitled to a man who exceeds their Hypergamous expectations. There’s nothing ‘stabilizing’ about the incidence of divorce between couples where the man is unable to out-earn his wife.
Naturally we want to make this a ‘his‘ problem. He can’t get over the fact that she makes more, has more education, etc. He’s insecure in his masculinity and must feel threatened by Her success. Or it could be the fact that on an instinctual level he understands that it’s an evolved imperative for a man to provide for and protect his family. This is the fallacy of Rise Above It. No matter how enlightened and progressive we’d like to think we are nature drags us back to reality. It’s not a socially constructed problem – if it were it would be easily solved – it’s a human nature problem. Women reveal the true Hypergamous nature in articles like these. They want a man who they can naturally look up to, respect and admire. That’s the natural truth coming out, but they source the problem in a socially constructed fantasy that it’s men’s insecurities that are holding them back from completing women’s mating/life strategies.
Women don’t need to get married anymore. The average age of first marriage is hovering around 27 years old for most couples. Studies also show that more than half of young people in America don’t have a romantic partner. We’ve all but eliminated the Beta Bucks side of the Hypergamous equation for women. Open Hypergamy (and Open Cuckoldry) are the logical outcomes of this provisioning insurance we’ve made ubiquitous for women over the last 40 years. Yet, women still want to be married to a man who outclasses them in all areas of life. They feel they deserve that guy. Their hindbrain knows they do, but the nebulous society still encourages women to believe there’s never been a better time for them to be single. This is the message women are being fed as they complain about men’s not living up to being their “equals”.
Nearly half of working-age women will be single in 2030, a new Morgan Stanley study predicts, a demographic that will drive increased sales for companies in the athletic wear, cosmetics and clothing sectors.
The investment bank’s “Rise of the SHEconomy” report says 45 percent of working-age women between 25 and 44 in the U.S. will be single women in 10 years, Forbes reported.
Single women will drive the economy in the next decade and savvy businesses are already planning on exploiting this demographic. But yet it’s men’s fault for not being marriageable and/or avoiding marriage altogether?
Too many people think I’m down on marriage. Apparently 23 years of what most guys would consider an ideal marriage isn’t enough to convince them. Honestly, as an institution – socially enforced monogamy – I think marriage, based on evolved gender difference complementarity has been the foundation of the success of western culture. But maybe we’re at a turning point in human history where traditional marriage is left behind, replaced by feminine-primary polygamy with all its inherently violent risks. It seems we’re heading in a direction where we convince Beta men it’s in their reproductive interests to abandon their evolved need to be invested in their own paternity – and that attending to and raising the children of men that women selected before them makes them ‘better men’.
There’s a lot more to the anti-marriage reasoning than just the “losing half my stuff” arguments.
It really sucks for a guy like me who’s managed to make a Red Pill aware marriage work in spite of all this. Guys get confused. How can I be anti-marriage and still married? But it’s just that dichotomy that tells the you about the nature of what marriage has become for men today. The way we do marriage today has the potential to be the most damaging decision a man can make in his life. It may even end his life. But despite all that I still believe men and women are better together than we are apart. We still evolved to be complements to the other.
It’s the coming together and living together, and all the downside risks to men today that I have no solution for at the moment. Maybe it’s going to take a war or a meteor striking the earth to set gender parity back in balance, but at the moment there’s only a future of sexual segregation to look forward to.
A lot of men are simply checking out of society…taking the big vacation in one form or another. They come from differing backgrounds and financial status. Marriage in particular and women in general are an increasingly reduced influence on them. That has different effects on different men. The loss of hope for family and meaningful social ties leaves many failing to see any point in busting their hump to build a nest egg for a female culture. If they marry they are held in contempt, and if they don’t marry they are held in contempt. Society has no use for… Read more »

@Novaseeker
Maybe reading all this complaining just put me in an irate state of mind.
Cant we find some fat, cucky punk and burn him alive as a scapegoat like the Jews used to do as an offering to the god of collective disgust?
There are two types of hypergamy, that based around attractiveness of the male, and the second based around social status. Woman are obsessed with social status to a much greater degree than men, and are constantly calculating it in those around them. A big indicator of status in America and most other countries is education. A big reason for the escalating cost of college is colleges trying to boost their perceived status, which is probably largely aimed at girls and their mothers. On TV too I’ll occasionally watch those lifestyle shows where couples are looking to buy or rent houses.… Read more »
For millennia ordinary men have married, but now according to two times divorced Novaseeker young men (unlike his smarter brighter generation) cannot cut it when it comes to marriage. This mania for improving oneself to make oneself marriageable seems to me to be an American obsession – which clearly does not work. Of course, as an internet interloper I am seriously uninformed about these matters.
Ignorance is truly bliss.
So, in a nutshell:
Men get married; society holds men in contempt.
Men don’t get married, society holds men in contempt.
Men told to live their lives for the benefit of others; men are miserable.
Men told to live their lives to benefit themselves; men are miserable.
Bart: “Got it, Homer. ‘Can’t win? Don’t try.'”
Also: Men committing suicide at record levels; women most affected.

The funny thing is you think you’re Bart.
No, Yollo, the funny thing it that you think that I think I am Bart.
Nowhere have I said “can’t win don’t try”.
If you can’t win THIS particular game, go play another game where you can win. And be the best you can at it.
And don’t tell me marriage is the only game in town.

“This mania for improving oneself to make oneself marriageable seems to me to be an American obsession”
For the life of me, I can’t recall anyone saying that. Saying that young men are unmarriageable does not mean that one should improve oneself for the purpose of getting married.
Young men should improve themselves for their own sakes because then their options and freedom of action will increase. (options being women, lifestyle, health, being good at being a man, etc.)
Anon Your ideas about why men are in prison are way off, but you’re pretty much making up your own narratives. As for me being cucked and unhappy, or seeing pussy as a prize😂.

No.
Things you need to “settle down”:

Things you don’t need to “settle down”:
A woman. Bullshit.
Averages are rarely a good way to understand a subject. The American woman in 2019 has hard uphill battle proving she has not had intercourse with another man to any man she may consider. Her reputation is thoroughly destroyed. Women in America do not age well at all.
Maybe this is all just another indicator of who the alphas are and who the betas are. Real men will adapt, see the silver-lining, and use this all to their advantage. I certainly have. I love not having kids, travelling the world, focusing on my career, health, etc., AND having the girl and NOT having to buy a ring or expensive wedding. Thank you, feminism.
“The hilarious thing here is that lots of you seem to be misunderstanding what “own point of origin” actually means.” If by a lot of you, you mean yourself you are correct.

What does your average American woman then consider to be “economically attractive”? If she is already employed herself, say as a hot RN pulling down $75K per year with long hours, then she is absolutely NOT looking for another $75K man. She wants, and frankly demands, a $120K to $140K plus man because once she gets pregnant she is not taking a step back in lifestyle. Same for the 4 year marketing grad who is earning less, say $60K.

“There’s going to be a clear down. It’ll probably take a couple of decades.” I don’t disagree.

Honestly, let them complain, who gives a fuck what their solipsistic mind conjurs up. Water off a ducks back. Agree n amplify gentlemen .. now, back to my harem.
A few years ago, my wife and I were watching an interview with Bill and Melinda Gates. Mrs.Gates complained about how she isn’t given enough recognition in their foundation, while Bill looked on uncomfortably during this mini-rant.
We both couldn’t understand why she couldn’t be content with her lot, her immense good fortune at having snared the richest (then) man in the world and one of the most famous.
So what hope is there for the average husband?
Contentment is not a female virtue.
“If you’re Blue Pill, this is more likely than if you are Red Pill. I don’t know any men who entered marriage as Red Pill men who this happened to.” Lmfao. Silly blue pill TradCuck. I was gentle with the red pills before but now I’ll go in a bit harder. Here is the simple reality of the matter. All three of those books, yeah the ones written by the creator of this blog? They’re NPC checkers. All three of them repeat again and again and again “Here is a fire, it is hot, it will burn you. Here are… Read more »

“So let’s try to get in her head and see her checklist for that “economically attractive” Why? Personally, I don’t care what is in their head regarding economics of my income/worth or theirs. Leaning into the female frame here is going to cause anxiety for men. Don’t discuss this shit with your women, and get this shit out of your heads. A few years back I was dating a very attractive blonde who a few years earlier had done some modeling for home & family magazines. She was a widower having lost her husband to an early heart attack.

Found this in California “California, however, is the only state that offers both a regular public marriage license and a confidential marriage license. The original of the law date back to 1878, when it was meant for unmarried cohabitating couples in the state. Some of these couples lived in rural, remote areas that were inconveniently far from a church or court, but most simply “lived in sin” and/or gave birth to children out of wedlock. Confidential marriages were a boon to the California legal system because inheritance and property rights were more clear-cut when the majority of people cohabitating and… Read more »

Rock out with your cock out gents… All will be well.
I nearly always prefer a neutral and objective approach to a subject. Emotions tend to get in the way of the message.
But of all the quality you’ve written, this is the first where i can feel a tangible feeling of “rage against the machine”.
The surprising part to me was that it did not detract from the writing, it added to it.

Anon, you are singing to the choir, The married men on this blog are red pilled and have mastered their relationships. These married men can also tap strange any time they want or choose to without repercussion. The blue pill types you are preaching to show up from time to time for advice and if they follow it they to turn their relationships around to a favorable situation.
@PalmaSailor
“…and don’t discuss it with your wife.”
I hear you.
@Cptfalc I don’t necessarily disagree, but there is much more nuance to it. Having lived in mainstream secular society then joining a religious subculture, then becoming red pill aware, I’ve seen both sides. There are just as many beta guys in the mainstream. The difference is when the culture and religion has your back, a beta man can still get married, make and lead a family, and do okay with low risk of divorce. You can be beta within our subculture without becoming a lonely frustrated loser. You don’t even need red pill awareness. This is because men and women… Read more »
Back to topic at hand, women complaining men are not financially suitable to marry since the men don’t make enough money. orthodox Judaism has an extreme opposite case. We have a not uncommon situation when a very religious couple marries, the wife agrees to work to support the family while the man learns Torah instead of working for a year or two with other men. This probably sounds crazy, but our society puts such a high value on learning, and a man and his family get much more respect when he has focused for years on intensive learning. This is… Read more »

““Rollo says: “Here is a fire, it is hot, it will burn you.”
“Rollo says: “Here is a fire, it is hot, it can burn you if you aren’t careful. But it is useful if you are careful. Use mitts.””
Brainlet NPC tier. Mitts protect from heat, not fire. it’s false security for blue pilled cucks as you are demonstrating.
You’ll catch Pretty Princess with her real man eventually and will be redeemed for cash prizes on or before that point.
“If you’re worried about how much you make in relationship to getting a woman you’re doing it wrong. If they are not into you money is NOT a factor you want involved. Lose the gut, get better game and be attractive with your own confident MPO. Don’t be pussy begging and come off thirsty. Quit worrying about how much money you make, or how much she makes.”

Nah, the worrying about money and a girl taking your shit is fear based excuse.
Some men Will never learn any form of game ( pua or otherwise ) and will stew in anger and ignorance.
It’s just too hard….
Why should I?…..
You’re gonna get screwed ….
There have always been fearful men around, but usually fear and weakness has been discouraged. Not so currently in the gynocracy.
After MIT accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre also accused the late MIT AI pioneer Marvin Minsky. Now legendary programmer Richard Stallman has been forced to resign for defending Minsky. Please comment on how women like to attack men who look like this:

Yes, plenty of beta, but not with enough bux for their liking.
They won’t put up with beta unless the bux are really good, which is why billionaires get trophy wives but in this generation average guys get nothing
I work the oilfields, make bank and not in the best of physical shape, but women can smell a mile away my beta provisioning emanating aura when I’m either receiving interest or projecting interest. Once I speak and show fervency, their filters quickly show reaction to submission or dominance. There’s no between. I’m confident that western women extrapolate their innate filtering systems based on Hollywood cinema and media. I don’t have these problems with less media dominated foreign women who seemingly come across as “real” and uncontaminated with meaningless social constructs which they don’t allow to control their cultures. Western… Read more »
“Mitts protect from heat, not fire.” Up to the point where they begin protecting from fire, but not heat. What kills people who plunge full in is asphyxiation and/or lung damage, not external fire contact burns. Even Niki Lauda, who survived the acute phase of danger, eventually succumbed to the chronic. “You’ll catch Pretty Princess with her real man eventually and will be redeemed for cash prizes on or before that point.” Could happen, but he is already past the point of the involuntary child support economy (other than the general social cuckitude) and has a large proto-soft harem.

“Novaseeker- Women are fine.

They have adapted. ” and of course Novaseeker the current western woman has adapted…..I call bullshit….least you forget that woman are collectivists – give them divorce privilege and they shall take, give them food and they shall land whale, give them degrees and they will ask where are all the good men.… Read more »
men are unmarriageable – who cares fucc marriage – western marriage is fucced
” . . . in this generation average guys get nothing . . .”
On the other hand, all average guys of this generation need to do to rise above average is to put in an effort. Any effort at all will do, as so few do even that.
“You should be a dancing monkey for a cheap and liability filled hole!”
Spoken like a merchant. You do realize that once you’ve actually emptied your balls without going through a bunch of bullshit you realize they’re demanding a price higher than it’s worth right? No, of course not because you are a merchant, and if men get bored and walk away from your shop that leaves you holding the bag.
“So what hope is there for the average husband?” average…that bar is set so low… if you are happy being merely average, it’s your life, but don’t expect any respect from women or most men…or from yourself! …last Friday night I went out and didn’t have a good time…was thinking about stopping going out…then I realized that it was my own fault that I didn’t have a good time…I wasn’t bringing the party to people and wasn’t being fun and I wasn’t getting any energy from going out and I was feeling drained…my own fault for being average…now I know… Read more »

I think people have too many anti-social tendencies to take advantage of what they’ve got. Besides, it sucks finding out that your mother was trying to raise you as a back-up beta provider.
This marriage thing isn’t just Red Pills vs MGTOWs(They’re on the same spectrum as far as I am concerned). It’s a social problem.
And if you think sexual politics already are going to hell, just waiit until a $1000 monthly “Universal Basic Income” further distorts reality.
Best comment section in a while, I think, off of a solid Rollopost. Just “The SHEconomy” alone was worth the price of admission.
“I’m confident that western women extrapolate their innate filtering systems based on Hollywood cinema and media.”
It’s more than that. Pay attention to the recent spate of very public, but very false, sexual assault narratives. They can be easy to pick out because the stories consist of things that routinely happen in movies, but cannot happen in real life where bottles are made of glass, not sugar.
Increasingly they really don’t know the difference between movies and reality.
I think the ending paragraph reveals some stricking honesty — there’s nothing as sales-hurting as admitting there being no solution, or having none, and that the future is bleak (and I mean “sales” in every sense, including getting more page hits, and readers and supporters). The two teams have too uneven lineups for evenness to be even dimly hoped for. You have the elite with their Unified USA (and Western, since the EU is a protectorate of the USA) Propaganda Machine (schools up to university, social media giants, print media, broadcast media, everything, really) + lower parts of the female… Read more »
Stallman’s defense of Minsky was logically sound (at MIT she would have been of age) and the more “radical” viewpoints that were dug up are those of traditional Christianity (marriage 12, consent 14), but he was an unacceptable person to make them.
Note also that Torvalds was forced to accept a progressive “Code of Conduct” and take a “sabbatical” from the Linux kernel group.
Feminist feelings based programming, coming soon to a computer and Internet backbone near you.
…but after the sheer volume of blue pilled responses I realized they had at most gotten baby’s first red pill and were living in a false sense of security and confidence. Case in point, there is absolutely no such thing as married red pill. None whatsoever. Ignoring the countless liabilities that children and females (repeating self) impose what the red pill does is dispel any illusion whatsoever that marriage offers anything for men. So if you do it anyways you might just be a masochist pain slut, but if you say it’s a good idea you’re NOT red pilled as… Read more »
@Increasingly they really don’t know the difference between movies and reality. The people in charge can make most of their subjects hallucinate anything, both positively and negatively. Positively: to see/hear/remind things that aren’t there. Use the Unified Propaganda Machine to non-stop tell people that those things are there (and that any non-worthless member of society sees, hears, them), and they’ll say and believe they see, hear, remind them. For instance, a propaganda like that we have now on rape helps a lot to raise the incidence and number of false rape accusations. It’s nature, lent a huge hand by nurture.… Read more »
