- NeverFade 7y agoFunny coincidence, I never met such a woman either! I did meet plenty who just happened to only date men who make high six to seven figures. It was a serial coincidence!
- Apocryphon 7y agoSounds like a self-selection situation
- take_a_breath 7y agoMe too! Unfortunately none of them ever married those men and most of them remain pretty unhappy with their dating lives. Another serial coincidence!
- NeverFade 7y agoThat's a pretty expected outcome when you pay that game. If you take the sum of all the comments, it goes something like this: 1. Women are disproportionally flocking to a few guys at the very top of the income / success curve. 2. Those guys have amazing dating life, and no pressure to commit. 3. They will go through dozens of women and eventually settle with one. So if they date X women in their bachelorhood, only one 1/X will end up marrying them, and X-1/X will be left disappointed and unhappy. 4. X can be 200+, so that's a lot of unhappy women. 5. Meanwhile tons of guys below the top would love get a date, and can't. They're also unhappy. 6. Evolution isn't optimizing for happiness.
