You are generalizing your stable situation and values far too much.
The population stats are something like 60% of men will be fathers but 90-95% of women will be mothers. Most women who can reproduce will but a huge percent of men who can will not.
40% of births are outside of marriage in the US.
I would think the only real generalization that can be made is that an introverted guy with money is more likely to get married.
I would bet money on that stat that women being the aggressor in Korea is simply not true in a statistical sense.
- mdorazio 5y agoNot sure what stats you're looking at. In the US it's about 80% of women [1] and 60% of men [2]. More interesting to me is the overall downward trend in fertility rates.

- lariati 5y agoI think I am confusing % fertile women vs all men. I think it says about 10% of women are infertile. One thing to keep in mind with those long term fertility rates is that child mortality rates going back that far is just shocking https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041693/united-states-all-time-child-mortality-rate/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041693/united-states-al... It is too harsh to even think about really. It is hard also to understand the rise in fertility rates from the 80s to 2010s.
- newaccount74 5y agoYou guys are mixing up numbers. 80% of women have a child at some point in their lives, and 60% of men age 15+ currently are fathers. A lot of those 40% who are currently not fathers yet will become fathers at some point in their lives.
