I know a couple families dealing with this (everyone probably does.) And I blame the parents because they let the young adults remain at home and don’t force them to become self-supporting. Young men used to aspire to marriage because marriage meant sex. To get married they needed to be employed- it was a big incentive to work. Everyone laughs at that now, except the young women who want marriage and can’t find a willing husband. We are in big trouble.
A young man used to have to marry to get sex. And he had to have a good job to get married. Now he needs neither marriage, nor job necessarily to have sex, but has otherwise lost interest in pursuing sex anyway.
There were always women available for a price. Goes back centuries. Plus now women can earn an equal wage. Takes the pressure of him. I believe a kind of depression is affecting many young men today.
Sadly the young men aren't even bothering with "at a price". Being told you are toxic can do that. OTOH, many young bucks never have learned how to try a pass at a lass of interest, accept a rejection or discover she is more than willing. They get groomed on porn and can't interpret any signals females sent to express interest. A lot of unsatisfied youth out there, I think.
I’m sure there are women like that. Unfortunately, I know many 20 and 30-something women who want marriage but can’t find a guy interested in more than sex. It’s not about money, they want a family.
My daughter married at 46. She earns 10x what he does. He had 3 small children she helped raise and put through college. I do see women marrying men who don't work. So, you could have a point. My parents would never have accepted that.
Many claim they are happy - and while that might be true for some - many are not happy at all. Dr Jordan Peterson has video on YouTube, where in great detail he describes the many counselling sessions he had with all the 30 something C-suite women who have "everything". The car, the title, the corner office and the Mercedes - but would give it all up for a child because they are disillusioned and empty. They are upset because communism sold them a lie that these things would give them meaning – when these things don’t. Has anyone noticed the extreme rise in the number of women attempting fertility treatments when they are older? Are we really going to deny and ignore this reality? If a woman wants to be a CEO of Pepsi, or the PM of Israel or Britain – good for her – I say go for it! But please, don’t lie to women. Tell them the truth. Tell them that the car and the fancy apartment and the title of CEO is very unlikely to give them meaning. Then if they chose the Mercedes, they won’t have anyone to blame because they were warned.
Quite a reflection on how corporations have affected so many women. We do need their voices particularly at the highest level but need to find ways for motherhood on the way.
My late wife was making more than I but she left that to join me. She found herself burned out by her job, a middle executive. She later got her Masters and became a special ed teacher. By the time I retired we had plenty enough but she kept working for quite some time. Seems money wasn't her motivation. OTOH, our net worth is quite enough.

Feminism turned into selling your butt on onlyfans, that is how bad it is.
Actually I meet many woman not interested in marriage. They earn more than most men and are happy.
