'Oracle of Wall Street': 'crisis of the American male' will crash home prices

• richrichie 3y ago
  > A lot of young men are single, a study from the Pew Research Center found last year. More than 60% of men under 30 described themselves as unattached in a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center; Whitney referred to this analysis in her thinking. Is a partial analysis of “men only” useful here? Surely there is a symmetry with young women. What are they up to? If 60% of the men of this age cohort are unattached, what are the women of this cohort attached to? 60 is too big a proportion to ignore.

    Some unattached, some to women, some to men in other age groups. This doesn't surprise you. There's no requirement of symmetry. You finding an older SO doesn't oblige anyone in your gender to restore symmetry by finding someone younger.

      The classic reminder of asymmetry in these situations is: "a ski resort is a place full of young women looking for husbands, and husbands looking for young women."
