I rarely enter the dating discourse because I’m old and I do believe something has changed in the last ten years to make my experience somewhat irrelevant, but to put the discourse in finance terms that have stayed true for generations: too many women are looking for growth stocks when they should be focused on value. Men peak much later than women and attention in dating markets concentrates on high-growth, when there’s so much value just laying there for the taking, especially in your 20s and 30s. Men get better with marriage and family, not worse, and that value compounds over decades. Part of the problem is the internet makes everything a power law. Dating apps concentrate attention. Everyone is looking for the Mag 7 when there’s an entire market to survey! Get off the apps and go full value.
