It's amazing how easily you skim over the behavior that women don't marry down. It's always been a selfish behavior void of love, but I suppose that one can find rationalization in needing stability and protection if one is to start a family. Now, however, as women match earnings or even out-earn the typical guy, they still won't marry down. Which creates selection criteria of an "impossible man". Acceptably attractive, stable high earner, emotionally advanced (yeah, right). Meanwhile, men do marry down. And none have an ever increasing list of demands. Just noticing the asymmetry here. Anyway, men won't emotionally "improve" because that is a strictly female value assessment. We're not broken, we're just different. My girlfriend gives me a daily update of all the ups and downs and gossips in her dealing with colleagues at work. I do not give a shit about any of it, but will pretend to care. Neither of us are broken, we're different. And that is fine.
