Jokes going to be flying in this thread, but you're speaking facts breh.
There's a direct correlation between depression, suicide, addiction, and many other things linked to things like this that make men more susceptible to it.
Honestly a lot men are okay with accepting the bolded over risking getting played or having a wife leverage the threat of divorce. Barring non government sanction life partnerships becoming a widespread phenomena, at least 25%-50% just won't do it (millenials and gen z). I know because I'm one of them (gen z). With how bad the economic present and future outlook appear, IN ADDITION to climate change IN ADDITION to resurgence of unhinged cacs broads just aren't a priority.
Notice how I didn't really delve into the quality of women and their expectations (as well as how realistic their expectations are).
Some dudes think women will come around because as popularly explained by Kevin Samuels "
financially we (black folk) need each other" and as logical, statistically verifiable as that is, it hasn't made black women increase their marriage/long term companionship rates in the 2010s, 2000s, 1990s, 1980s, etc.
Even if women do (and some do) double back and get realistic later in the game, dudes with pride and respect know what time it is. The same way theres was always the boy in jr hs that just got girls and in hs, and in college. Same goes for your mid 20s. Broads overall either choose up or
not really/not at all. If you're in the italicized group until you get brolic, or start making beaucoup bucks or are 30/35+, SPOILER ALERT broads don't like you like that. They just don't want to work for like/fend for themselves in old age, or just want a kid and guy they know will be involved literally or financially with the child (if she's not already a mother).
Dudes deep down are fairly honest with themselves, but truth/honesty require vulnerability and transparency so naturally dudes front in real life, or around others, but men know deep down whether women make it easy or if they have to apply to get a broad more or less.
Some men are okay with being a means to an end but a growing swath, are cool thuggin' it out, there's no malice in it either to paraphrase Cole some dudes just "aren't as comfortable as others are with lying" especially to themselves more than anyone.
I know I know I hate women yadda yadda, just a growing perspective
