Men are losing economic ground because there's just no incentive.
I'm one of the few who's arguably done quite well. I have Ph.D., relatively highs status job, nice pad, I travel, etc. None of that has really made any differences with the ladies besides some chicks who have an almost fetishistic attitude towards dudes with doctorates.
Why bust your ass to gain status and riches if it doesn't change the type of girl you can pull? A lot of dudes are perfectly happy pulling down 30-60k/year and living a modest lifestyle. The only reason they'd try harder is if there was pussy at the end of the tunnel. It's just not there anymore. If girls started to reward economic success with easy access to poon dudes would become so productive the economy would fix itself in 6 months.
