They point to financial problems as the number one contributor, because even though employment might be high,the problem of underemployment is more prevalent even though not talked about much, especially in the media. Educated people after spending thousands of dollars, are forced to accept jobs they are overqualified for.,and at lower compensation. The survey also points to tough decision on whether to start a family. So I guess there will be a lot of single people out there going forward,
Most divorces that end due to financial reasons are because there is not enough money. Those guys are not shelling out for providers so easily. Yes, there are few that have money but just don’t agree about how to use it. But those are less of them.
Also, providers rely on married clients. So many stay married but lose the sexual spark. Safest way to not get caught is to occasionally see providers. Civie women you risk them wanting more, feeling guilty, or whatnot. Providers are professionals and understand it’s in both their interest and yours to not have your arrangement discovered.
Good topic!! As a Libertarian I do not think the government should have any say in who you are with or who you choose to part ways with, so I personally will never get "legally" married ever again. And being "single" does not mean just because you are not legally married. This is of course what the government uses for tracking purposes, but I am not legally married, but most definitely do not consider myself single.
And yes, I will agree with money often being the biggest hurdle when it comes to relationships. I have a degree in business and finance, so I have a splash of knowledge in this area.
One thing I don't think we talk about enough is there is a huge difference from being actually poor and just being very poor with money. Everyone, regardless of your financial status, needs to have a budget. Most people of course fall in the middle class, but you do have outliers on either end of the financial spectrum that either say they make too little money or they make too much money to worry about making a budget. Not true. EVERYONE should have a budget, even those that are retired and are no longer in the work force.
I have a gentleman that I see that when he retired he had several million in his retirement. He spent money like it was water and within 5 years he told me he is down to about 300K left and is now worried about having enough money if he lives another 10 to 15 years. He has now reigned in his spending but that is just silly. Live comfortable in your retirement but the pot of money will run out.
And also a lot of people's money problems are trying to keep up with the Jones'. The Jones' are actually already in debt up to their eyeballs and you are quickly going to be just like them.
Too bad that so many can't bring themselves take it to heart. Wouldn't it be nice if instead of teaching kids who knows what in the schools these days, they would start making "life skills" part of the core curriculum?
Thanks to those that figured it out.
providers rely on married clients
Some providers specifically want clients who are not married. The majority of my clients are divorced & single. I strongly agree to disagree with your statement. I do not rely on married clients.Let’s be clear. By no means was my statement, nor really any that I make, ones that apply to everyone. Sure, you might have your preferences, and you’re not alone. Though you may have married clients and not realize it. But that’s a maybe. Regardless, my statement stands true for most providers. You can strongly disagree all you want, but I assure you, you are basing it on a very small sample size. There are plenty of married men who will tell you they are not being turned away due to their marital status. When was the last time you kicked a man out who made an appointment when you realized he was married?
Not to say "you are a special snowflake who won't get divorced" just that that particular statistic isn't useful for an individual to make a decision with. Specifically, first marriages tend to be more successful, marriages between an older man and a younger woman tend to be more successful, marriages within a given demographic group can be more or less successful depending on which group, etc etc. The point being that, you really have to generalize your own situation in order to have any idea of what the odds are.
Or to put it another way, your 4th marriage to that woman who's around your age is likely DOA and it'd be cheaper to just not. Also, if you are married already, and have been for longer than whatever the alimony cutoff is, it's very very likely that it's cheaper to keep her.All a bit of a moot point though, given that the kids nowadays aren't even dating, or leaving their parent's house much. Sure they'll be single, but not because of divorce, just because their lives are limited to instagram and pornhub.
Great assessment ; full of facts and real life solutions.
For quite a few years now the statistical divorce rate have been hovering around the 50/50 mark . I thing the recent adjustment (60-70%) should be considered because a lot of things have changed and will
Continue to change economically and socially ,and probably at pace far different than in the past.
The points they emphasize are just major contributors ,but there are also many other factors, including the same old generics ones that will always be there . The study is based on future prospects and the way things are in the world today. And moving forward, I don't see life getting any easier for the majority, but indeed a small minority.
arrangement marriages sometimes have a shelve life.
escorts help marriages. I don't want to choke my wife and spit in her mouth while pile driving her asshole.
to the survey? I'm a little confused on how a researcher can take a survey on FUTURE marriages. Does he time-travel? I didn't know that had that yet. If someone is speculating, it can't be a survey. Surveys are conducted to find facts. Sorry, but have to call bullshit on your post unless you can produce a link to this "survey." You are rapidly developing a reputation for wasting people's time here with speculation and conjecture.
by showing her they were NOT wearing a wedding ring? Convinced? Lol
I think the only way to project the future is to extrapolate trend lines. I assume "survey" is a generalization for statistical data. Extrapolating trend lines can sometimes be accurate and at other times ridiculous.
Huh?? How does this benefit the hobby when the majority of the hobbyiest are married men already?
