Marriages that begin between 20-24 are almost 39% more likely to end in divorce. A lot of this, I speculate, is due to women feeling like they need to make up for missing out. The idealism of young Blue Pill men marrying early has one big obstacle and that’s the influence of Hypergamy on their wives.

No one could cheer her up like her father. “Mom has made you watch too many crime shows. How about just shaking your fist or saying a few angry words?” in the 80’s we were all latchkey kids. We were alone. We made ourselves. Boomer parents where all about themselves. I thought it was time for a change, and I wanted to be here so I could help you . . .” Her voice trailed off when her mother frowned. Not that fine.” Her mother gestured to the brigade of aunties filing through the door, some wearing saris, a few in business attire, and others in salwar kameez, their brightly colored tunics and long pants elegantly embroidered. Uncles and cousins took up the rear. “It seems you bumped into Lakshmi Auntie’s nephew at Newark Airport and told him you’d broken up with your boyfriend.”If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Where would your spouse like to live if they had a choice? Layla looked longingly as the server handed over his feast. "I don't want to ruin my appetite." She pointed to the baked-goods counter. "You forgot dessert." If you could send your mother-in-law or father-in-law on a trip, which would you choose, where would you send them and for how long? We aren’t old. We don’t need help. She had a good job. Every week I time her on the Face and she doesn’t say anything is bad at work.” Is this a sales technique?" he whispered in her ear.
