Agree, for the most part. Of course there are exceptions.

I noticed a worrying trend about a decade or more back. Young women, having observed their mother's lives and quiet despair and not wanting the same for themselves, were referring to boyfriends amongst as themselves good/bad starter husbands, indicating they had no intention of marrying for a permanent commitment anymore. They were expecting to be cheated on and left and we're not willing to emotionally invest completely in the first place. Quiet quitting before ever saying I Do. This speaks to the overall erosion of trust eomen feel towards men.

Young women today, increasingly, aren't even interested in starter husbands. Makes sense. Trust has eroded further. Violence afainst women has increased. PUA and respill culture have made men undesirable overall, divorce is costly, and you're going to get left with the responsibility for the kids either way.

It's like men have said they never want to be more than pack mules and sperm donors. Okay. You don't have to marry a guy to get him to be your beast or burden and there is always a line. Same for the sperm if and when you want it.

If men don't want to be partners and companions, so be it.
