The Hidden Costs Of Dual Income Relationships

There are many factors at play. But, women who don't get married by 30's often develop rabid feminist attitudes that are incompatible with long-term relationships.

Nah, these attitudes begin to develop around the time of menstruation for most women with life ambitions and functioning brain cells.

Nope. By early 20's women may be "feminist" (in the first-wave sense) but totally capable of a healthy relationship. If they are still single by their 30's, many if not most will be radical third-wave feminists with no such capacity.

Also, for single women in their 30's, 50% are fat and 75% are emotionally damaged in some other way, also not good qualities for marriage. If you find a good one in their 30's you are lucky. I recommend looking for women in their 20's even when you're in your 30's.

Did you read his original post? The guy writes crap that makes him sound dangerously like the next Elliot Rodger. The guy needs therapy.

I've also drawn this comparison on these boards. We should start a contest of some kind.

Note: By third-wave feminist, he means someone fully capable of seeing through his patronizing bullshit.

The highest divorce rates are among those who marry very young.

Basic statistics would predict this.

Where do I begin with this ignorant remark. This is not a coin toss probability problem.

Go back to class stat, stat man.

Pull you head out of your butt and look at reality. This is absolutely spot on but all you brilliant liberals know best.

Those who marry young have the most time to get divorced and remarried. Thus basic probability could predict those who marry at 20 get divorced at higher rates than age 30.

Why wouldn't it be?

Because you're a troglodyte and a backwards idiot.

Women hate men like you.

And a divorce at about 55 and later doesn't make sense any more, as one could just sit it out.

What kind of contest?

Tried looking up data on this. Found a bunch of articles claiming "families with both parents providing income" are x% less likely to get divorced. At face value, this suggests that your premise are wrong.

However, none of the articles on the first page of google results listed any reference to where they got their statistics or actual data. Also, what x was varied significantly from one article to another, making it pretty hard to believe.

Might try a google scholar search or something later to find real data if I get bored enough.

This.

Time is a correlating factor, not a causative factor. Maturity and self-esteem play a much larger role.

This ...or Maker/Taker relationship.

You can always try to find a submissive and dependent wife among foreigners willing to trade sex and independence for a more comfortable lifestyle in the US. I understand lots of insecure American men go the foreign bride route.

Or find an educated women who will bring home the bacon while you stay at home and post on LRC.

Jamin -- In your 'relationship cost' estimates, do you factor in the price of burkas for your ideal wife?

Quite.

Everybody knows that men who think like this struggle to attract the more desirable women. Dull, unambitious wives tend to produce dull, under-achieving children and cheating husbands, with large divorce settlements to pacify them because they can't earn their own money.

Be suspicious of any men who thinks that women earning their own money is a good thing. It is a very bad sign of quite a lot of psychological traits.

Plus, other women laugh behind your back if you have a wife far less intelligent or attractive than yourself.

Not needed since she'll be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen making sammies for jamin 24-7.
