I ask this question because I just read a compelling article in an Australian paper about a projected demographic crisis for women of this generation. In short, within the next 10-15 years, there are going to be a TON of unmarried, childless women in the Western world. And they aren't going to be happy. Precisely what impact this will have on society at large is uncertain, but it will be profound.
I'll get to the article in a minute but first, allow me to sum up how I got thinking about this topic. I just spent my first weekend in ages in my "home" town - Washington, DC. (I've posted many threads on the wonders of DC before in other threads). But I'm so seldom here I often forget how bad it really is. The differences with other cities in the U.S. are striking.
I can pick up some 8/8.5s out in LA or Vegas, some 8s in New York, but I will seldom get anything CLOSE to that here. (Granted, a 9 is tough no matter where you are, but it too can be done). In DC, you don't even get the chance. I'm a decent-looking dude and have received the hand-in-the-face response from 6's/7's on multiple occasions here, within the first minute! Yes, from a 6. Within the first five minutes, they'll offer the standard DC-shit test on school/job. Of course, that's child's play since I'm able to outgun 99 percent of DC girls on that account. Doesn't seem to help though. If you don't even get past the first minute, you can't even demonstrate value.
So you have the strange dynamic of decidedly average girls rejecting men of superior looks, superior intelligence, and superior wealth right off the bat. Men of clearly superior value being rejected hands down in less than a minute. Even more stunning - Women in DC constantly moan about the lack of men in this town! I hear it in my office every single day. It's their main topic of conversation! What the hell are the looking for?
My question is mainly philosophical: What on earth happens to the DC 6/6.5s when they are 35? Do they eventually find a partner and settle down? They can't offer superior looks, they can't offer superior personality (if any), they can't offer superior money, and they can't offer superior intelligence. DC, for all its flaws, is packed full of intelligent high-earning dudes in the mid 100k range. What can these girls bring to the table?
Apologies if this has been posted here before. Take a look at this article. Makes you think. Until then as always, see you in the airport:
