The gist of the paper is that screwing everything in sight is not the path to a fulfilled life, but marriage and children are. It's how we are built.


AC,

The current reality of the dating world is much worse than this author can even imagine, and he's completely missed the true root causes.

In many sphere's Social Media and hook up apps have broken women's ability to accurately gauge their value to potential male suitors. They confuse their number of followers and likes on facebook post with the number of men willing to marry them.

Like wise on hook up app, 80% of the women are only selecting 20% of the men. These men are happy to bed them for a night or two, but too many average women mis-interpret these encounter as what they can expect for marriage. Since these top men have options, Miss Average gets plenty of hookup, but no proposals from the men she's after. After about the age of 25, her prospects diminish every year after that until at age 30 she hits "the wall". This is where she goes into panic mode trying to lock down a high value man, but the 35 year old man has plenty of prospects in the 23-28 age range, so they are just not interested.

Here's an interesting look into the psyche of the Modern Woman who over values herself on the dating market, and what she has to look forward to:
