"Men 6' tall or more are 10% of men. Men on 100K + salaries are 10%. Men who fall into BOTH camps are 10% of 10% ie: 1%. Out of that 1%, less than half have any interest in marriage due to the crippling financial risk and the fact that such men are picking & choosing which gorgeous, leggy, thin, young PR lady they sleep with every Friday/Saturday night. That leaves 0.5% Consider that as soon as single women hit 30 (on average), quit dating the musicians, bikers, surfers and sundry 'bad boys' and no-hopers and start to seriously seek out a husband who (ideally) is tall and of high financial status, you effectively have 100% looking to hook up with 0.5%. That's like 200 people applying for 1 job vacancy. There's going to 199 "We thank you for your interest but unfortunately you were unsuccessful. We wish you luck in your future endeavours. " letters going out."
"Good analysis, but I'd like to add that those 0.5% of guys (due to their high demand) may either not marry or engage in affairs. The term "sidechick" comes to mind, the 199 of women left have the choice of settling for lower standards, never producing offspring, or become single mothers with the offspring of the 0.5% of "high" status men. I'd argue that the latter of these choices is the common outcome."
Sounds like a numbers game.

@sim dating is easy for young women and older men, everyone else loses.

@lain I'm not so sure. I've never found dating easy. But it doesn't help that I have such low self-esteem to begin with.

@sim not for everyone of course, I mean for the general population.

@lain Oh, more as a general thing? Yeah, that makes sense.
