Marriage rates have steadily declined over the past few decades, and now researchers from Cornell University are offering up a possible explanation: there just aren’t as many economically-attractive men for unmarried women to meet as there used to be. Previous studies had attempted to answer why marriage rates are on the decline, but most focused solely on gender ratio discrepancies as opposed to looking into the specific socioeconomic characteristics that make a particular man and woman a good match.
"Young people" today appear to me to be unable to create and sustain lasting relationships. I am convinced most "gay" individuals are simply retreating into same gender "relationships" not due to any "sexual preference", but because they are afraid of the responsibilities of what was once thought the adult world, like having and raising children. Hanging out with like-minded people is just so much easier, and friends easily come and go much easier than spouses.

Due to media influences, many women don't see steady, reliable, manly men as "attractive". They've been convinced that only "exciting" or "rich" men are attractive. Generally those who have a greater tendency to use and abuse rather than protect and support women.

Maybe women are looking for a man, not a gender??

"Economically-attractive men"? You mean the ones who believe in capitalism and are successful at it? Perhaps the rising belief in socialism has something to do with this, ya think?

Thanks to the hookup culture, young people don't know how to date or commit.

To save Cornell researchers gazillions of dollars in studies, I'll share my simple theory: As the moral structure of this country continues to erode, more and more cows are giving away their milk free.

Simply put, they want MEN..... The old fashioned kind of men. Not the girly boys who are afraid to be men and take responsibility for things and be aggressive in life and work.

Women are taught that men are oppressors of women. They think they don't need a man as the man will just "hold them down" or "not let them be who they are" (whatever that means). Their liberal brainwashing from traditional gender roles and cultural norms have made women afraid to even consider that: maybe, just maybe, they might be happy to settle down with a male partner/spouse, start a family, and still be able to have a fulfilling career or life. People did this for thousands of years before the "gender studies" and "gender equity" crowd came along.

The women in this study are looking for men "with a stable job and a good income", no surprise, that's the way it's always been. I do wonder though if the women in this study automatically dismiss men with stable blue collar jobs as potential spouses, is it economics or elitism?

Oh there's way more to it than that. To mention just a few: Very few young people come from homes with good marriages that didn't end in divorce. Men are afraid, the law is against them, they get married and lose everything in the divorce. The feminists deserve a good share of the blame as do their parents, many of whom raised snowflakes.

Through very Keen Observations, I can tell you that the primary reason Marriage Rates are Down is due to UGLY, hairy legged, obnoxious Liberal WOMEN!
Prove I am wrong...

B. S. People just prefer to shack up than make the commitment.

Too many males are raised by single women and have few males for role models. When moms try to help their boys find work, they are sent to jobs that are traditionally female. Usually these moms do not have contacts at engineering firms, construction firms, etc. So the boys work at fast food, restaurants, or go into teaching. All honorable jobs, but not high paying. I see it all around.
Fathers would send the lad to drive a truck, to the golf course as a caddy, to the oilfield as a roughneck, or to a friend at a construction site. Think of Clint Eastwood in that movie Gran Torino where he gives the kid some tools and gets him a job at the construction site. Fathers send their sons in a different direction and it makes a difference in where they end up.

Have you seen the weak (physically and emotionally) men that we see everyday at work and on our TV's? If I were a woman looking for a life partner, these soy boys would not be particularly attractive to me! But that is ok...a feminazi can always become a lesbian or another letter a proceed with their lives. For those of you looking for a real man and a white picket fence...good luck! The men of today have had speed pumped into their bodies since age 3 because they acted like men. It seems to have had some health effects on their bodies and minds. Who could have guessed. But...the female teachers who did it didn't care about that! Just get little "Johhny" (if he's lucky enough to not be given a female name) to be a vegetable in class to make the teachers job easier! Now the Soy Boys are the teachers! LOL! What a spectacle! You must Home School or get them into a Christian School as soon as possible and keep them out of government run institutions!
