my opinion: Men are motivated to work by poon - no poon, no work.
I agree, Why bother to work when there's no poon? Though you're exaggerating this trend.
Many workers not getting poon also aren't near the salary level where they can directly pay for sex regularly either. That's a bad place as a worker. No poon in conventional dating + not enough salary to pay for sex.
In 2022, 89% of men 25-54 were working. That was 97% in 1962 in that age range. Most men 25-54 are still working on the hope that they'll get new poon or keep their existing poon.
I'm kinda lost for 2023, so we now have to help them more at home so they can work on their career or should we work on our career so they can stay at home with the kids?
If those are the only 2 choices, the better choice is to work on our careers so they can stay home with kids.
Interactions where women outearn men are unnatural and unstable. Yet, for a lot of reasons, they are becoming more common. Some of these interactions are turning into multiyear relationships.
Against my better judgment, I have been on dates with a female doctor and a female lawyer. Both dates sucked big time. They both outearn me. I do alright at a white collar professional with an advanced degree (MBA). The doctor was boring and had a bad attitude. I had no interest in her and she didn't have any in me. The lawyer wasn't feminine despite being thin and having 1-2 interesting hobbies. I didn't have sex with either and that likely saved me a lot of aggravation.
Most men who do have extended relationships with high powered career women don't report that it's a good time. Even a lot of wimpy, blue pill, non-red pill aware men would agree with this.
It's not a good idea for any man to sacrifice his career for a woman. Let these high powered white collar careerist women cuddle up at night with their advanced degrees, cats, and dogs. Only choose to date women who make less money than you do, whatever you make. It's going to feel better that way.
