When you see marriages in which women actually make more money than their husbands, there's a higher chance of divorce. There are all these other awful things that are associated with it that I discuss in the book.
Exactly. I was testing you. Um hypergamy which is the the square root of the hypotenuse by the way for kids who are watching this doing their geometry homework. No, hypergamy is um involved here because um the more men check out as far as academia, yeah, they graduate much less much fewer men now. Yeah. I mean, men are the ones who need affirmative action now in in in college.
Exactly. Uh there's a stat that we keep called the unemployed. But the definition of unemployed is you don't have a job, but you're looking for one. There's another stat which has I don't remember the number, but it's an astoundingly high number like 7 million. Yeah. That's not unemployed.
No, women do like achievement. You know, they like, you know, it's and it's not just the money. It's also just feeling like this person has ambition. They're moving towards something. They have joy in their life. If you I imagine if you are sitting in front of a screen all day playing video games, online betting, you have no goals, you don't get, you know, dressed. Um I don't imagine some light to be very happy. And so if you're dating, I mean, someone like that's probably not even dating, but if they were, you don't really have as much to talk about.
