Of course you&#x27;ll find some males that &quot;marry up&quot;, but the data proves what many of us have known forever - as a man, you should strive to be elite in <i>something</i>, preferably something useful and sexually attractive. Otherwise you&#x27;re just another brick in the wall.<p>Where this is all going to blow up in society is the fact that women are now better-educated, and will soon make more money than their male counterparts, who are slowly getting more discriminated against (see Yahoo lawsuit) and less engaged in the proverbial rat race.<p>A case in point is looking at highly successful black females. They have a rough time in the dating scene, and this is extremely well-documented. Over the course of the next generation, I see this spreading to other females as well.<p>What effectively is going to happen is that you&#x27;ll see more men dropping out of the marriage pool, the pareto principle in dating will become stronger than ever, and reliance upon the nanny state to help single mothers raise their children will likely go up too.<p>Hate it all you want, but these are three extremely well-established trends and I don&#x27;t see them getting any better. Tinder is the canary in the coalmine. This is where we&#x27;re heading.<p>A country needs strong, highly-engaged men who act as leaders. America is losing that more each and every day, and it saddens me.
