An article by: Son Of the Most High
Alright, reflecting back on my own upbringing and childhood, I have to say that it isn’t just the media, television that is screwing children (and hence adults) up today with a bunch of negative ****. The thing I’ve come to realize about people is that they don’t think enough, most of them do not use scientific reasoning in their daily thought processes. Part of the reason is because we as human beings are creatures of habit and as human beings we will often believe something on the basis of how often it is repeated by our parents, some TV show, the news, or simply mutually agreed upon bull**** even if it is totally FALSE.
We as human beings believe falsehoods on the basis of unreal and emotionally appealing idealistic expectations, for instance it’s a mantra and religion now, not to “Settle for less”. Because we all know “Settling for less” is “bad”. Like little children, this concept is believed and revered, you hear this parroted about thousands of not millions of times throughout your lifetime. The problem is… its total propaganda based on half truths and lies. Most people’s idea of not “Settling for less” is totally divorced from the underlying reality of demographics and modern market economics in the countries they live in.
Now people today are given UNREAL expectations in our society because we have the high life of the rich and famous beamed at us from every which way as constant reminders of how good life could be. But this is only for the top 10% of the population, 10 percent ladies and gentlemen. That means to use an analog. Out of say a high school of 1,400 kids, only 140 will become wealthy. The next 10 percent will become lower upper class. And the rest of the bottom 80 will become middle class and poor. So 80 percent of the population will be middleclass and poor, this means 4 out of 5 people you will meet in your life will fall into this category. So it is totally ****ing unreal of people to say “They aren’t going to settle”, you’re either 1) Going to have to if you want to get married or have some form of LTR in this lifetime 2) do not get married at all and just have a bunch of relationships of varying types or 3) Move to some other area with a rich demographic or move to another country. 4) Go some other way, open marriage, etc.
I’ll use Canada as my example, Canada has a population of 33 million (est) using the CIA world fact book. Canada’s workforce is roughly 17.59 million people strong. Labor force: 17.59 million (2006 est.)
Now the top 10% of that is upper class to super rich, roughly 1.8 million people upper class to very rich. The next 10 percent (1.8 million ) are not exactly ‘rich’ but lower upper class and well off, not quite rich but rich by most middle class people’s standards.
This means only 1 out of every 5 people you could possibly meet will be fairly well off, and the other 4/5 will be middle class or poor. This means 80 percent of the people you will meet will be middle class or poor.
Right now over 6.4 million Canadians are living in poverty. That is a hell of a lot of people, that’s roughly 39 percent of the total workforce is in serious poverty. So that means 2/5, that is, 2 out of every 5 people will be poor, almost half the people you will meet.
Now we know about using dating sites to filter incomes or using for pay matchmaking services, unfortunately this means that many women are living in a fantasy world unfortunately. The number of women that want “economically stable” or wealthy men to the amount of wealthy men available is ineffably small, this means a lot of misery for a good number of women out there. The same applies to men looking for wealthy women. Just so you don’t think I’m leaving men out ladies.
The truth is this, modern market economies dictate what economic prospects are available in terms of jobs. Say even if you had a whole population of people with the same or similar IQ’s, talents, etc, because of the limited supply of high paying jobs, someone would end up being middle class and poor anyway. There are simply not enough high paying seats to go around, period. I’m not even going to mention the complexities of off shoring and currency disparities between the West, like the United States and Canada with those of the east, like India, China, etc.
So ladies and gentleman stop living in a fantasy world and get real, no one wants to build wealth through hard work and sacrifice today. Many people want someone who’s “Ready made” stamped out by a cookie cutter factory, ready and able to meet their relationship and economic expectations.
My advice to you those people is to GET REAL. Both my parents both came from dirt poor backgrounds, they were among lowest of the lower classes practically. They opened a business together and are now fairly well off middle class couple, they came from nothing but $10,000 in savings in their pockets to much more then that now, 3 cars, a nice house, HDTV, Internet, Cable TV, etc.
The truth is today everybody wants instant gratification. Many people are going to be in for recurring disappointment simply because they are unwilling to take the steps necessary due to unreal ideas about how the world is.
So my advice to you all, study the demographics and income distribution of the populations where you live and the sex ratios to get an idea of how difficult it will be for you to meet the expectations you hold now and to make sure your expectations are not distorted.
