I was reading an article about why marriage rates are plummeting, and in it, there was a blurb about how women do not want to marry a man who cannot hold down a job (or does not have a suitable level of assets, etc.)

It seems to be that with the rise of robots and expert system software, there will be many such men. Women will still have their maternal instinct, and want that instinct to be satiated in a proper social contract (i.e., that marriage has always done.) It seems that the only way that this will work out is if multiple women are allowed to marry the same wealthy enough man.
Or do you think that women will simply discard the necessity of marriage to poor, unemployed men - and free of the constraints of monogamous marriage - and simply get pregnant with the best available sperm donor (i.e., a good-looking, "bad boy" poor, unemployable man)?
