Not that long ago — in the 1950s and 1960s — “dating,” or the pattern of premarital sex that replaced the Courtship pattern, was something that you did for a few years before getting married around Age 21. By the 1990s, it was taking a lot longer than that, but still 92% of White women did get married.
Today, “dating” is increasingly seen as a trackless swamp that has no exit.
Yes, this is largely because women are chasing the Top 5% of men, especially on dating apps, that are not likely to get married at all (or they would already be married and wouldn’t be on dating apps to begin with). Also, it is because women overtly prefer those men who are not marriage-minded, aka “bad boys,” passing by those that are. Although much of the problem is women’s behavior itself, nevertheless, it isn’t working.
Women used to get married before having sex. And, this process did not take very long. You either got married, or the courtship would end, commonly within about six months. And once you got married, you typically, or ideally, did not have to work outside the house ever again! How’s that for “having your needs taken care of”?
But women aren’t really ever going to figure this stuff out. They can complain about the results, but as always, men will have to fix it. Mostly, this will be their fathers, if they have fathers. Or, it will be other men telling them what to do — church pastors, perhaps — and setting up institutions to facilitate marriages.
It should be clear by now that women just make bad decisions over and over again. They seem to come to their senses around Age 30, but by then it is too late.
