The cheapening of sex means that men - potential husbands - just dont bother to court these single women. 25 years ago (when we were like US), men would make an effort and would perhaps marry for sex, the lucky couple would have babies and the wives would stay out of the workforce for as long as financial circumstances would allow.

In our social group there are now a lot of women friends who are missing out on partnerships.
So, men are so shallow that all they want is sex - that is what marriage is only about, sex? Companionship, procreation, love... means nothing.

And aren't marriages based on sex alone usually destined for failure? The ones I have seen headed south pretty fast.

And maybe many women like working - just like men. We like being valued for our skills in the workforce, we like the independence that it affords us, the value of friendship of those you work with and the reward of being successful at what you do. I assume you enjoy working, why would women be any different?
