Is hypogamy + state + anarchy-interest the reason for that I am single at the age of 38?

I was just listening to Stefan Molyneux's podcast 3309 - Question 3: [2:25:20]. I recommend listening to that part of the podcast if you are interested in the topic of woman/dating of today.

Anyway... I have been married ones and I have 2 children with 2 woman, but as of today, I live as an single man! In other words I live alone...

When I was younger, even when I was a child, I never thought I would be living alone as an grownup man. I always took it for granted that I would have a family life, with an wife and children.

I was dating a lot of woman when I was in my 20s and early 30s, today I almost never date any woman. I also have lost a lot of regular social status, as I do not work as an economist, as I did earlier in my life and I lost money and friends along the way!

What I take out of Stefan Molyneux's podcast, is that quality woman don't care about money and such. I have to say that I dont identify myself with the caller into the program, but I have to say that of course woman look a lot on social and economical status, which Stefan Molyneux also say earlier in the podcast.

Hypogamy, combined with the states heavily support of single mothers, have made the dating market complicated for many people, both woman and men. I have followed Stefan Molyneux and the freedom movement since around 2004, I found that many people (also woman on a date for instance), are not so interested in this topic, even that more and more people get interested over time.

So I think that the combination of the 3: hypogamy + state + Anarchy-interest. Is the reason I have not found an traditional marriage in my life.

I find it that woman mostly want a man with an steady income. I have been more creative in my life, changing occupation over time, due to curiosity.

(I am the red guy!! Even I live in Denmark where the general standard is higher, then many other places in the world.)

Anyway I could be wrong, I think I am not, I think I have many interesting personality traits. I am inspiring and very curious about many topics of life.

A less than steady income is definitely a thing, especially in your age group. Women in your age group have already experienced the exciting bad boys in their 20s, gotten burnt, and are looking for providers now in their 30s. So, if you don't have a steady income, you are not very desirable.

Maybe you could try changing up your look, too, I don't know. I recently re-grew my hair, and I've noticed a sharp increase in women's interest in me.

In today's dating market, it's extremely important to stand out somehow. So, try something new.

Also, if you don't already do it, go to the gym and start working out. Chicks like muscles.

I appreciate your comment, I think making too woman pregnent, and with my age, I have alot of experience in woman in generel. I was not looking for specific advice on how to improve myself, the post was more meant as of an philosophical in-kick to an debate on the topic.

To make an response to your comment, I will say: That I think that my dating possibilities in the "main stream dating arena" is more or less over! Due to my age, history and personal interests. I think I have a small chance to find a woman that are interested in the same topics (Anarchy, bitcoins or similiar) at one point (these woman are rare in my age group, but I find more young woman might have a little interest in these topics).

Does that make sense?

Sure I know that woman like men that are fit and all that...

So you only want to date women that are into the exact same things you are? That sounds boring...

No not at all, they just need to atleast understand my view on the world, as Anarchy vs statism is pretty different, and I dont think a relationship would work if the woman is statist and the man anarcist! Thats all I was trying to say.

The mainstream arena never worked for me and I'm only 26, lol. Try not to analyze the situation too much. Falling in love isn't a logical process and I don't think you can make it happen through thought and analysis.

What do you do, approach a woman in a bar and tell her you can't keep a steady job?

I almost never go to a bar, when I do, I dont take it too seriously. Have had some success with dating sites in the pasts, but we are talking like before 3-5 years ago. I am not really so motivated for finding a partner anymore. I used to drive a taxi in the nightlife in periods, in between entrepreneur-projects, and I got a very deep insight to the woman in the night life, of all ages.

Not really my point... you're blaming "hypogamy" or whatever, but how do you think women know you don't have steady employment? I'm wondering if you might lack confidence because you're telling yourself women only want guys with steady jobs. Meanwhile there are strippers out there supporting their boyfriends, and homeless guys picking up women every night so they have a place to sleep.

I don't really think hypogamy is as big a deal as you think it is. Plenty of women are out there looking to date and have fun without necessarily looking for a husband.

I've never met a woman who wants someone with no ambition or interests, or someone who will loaf around while she does all the work to support a family, but this is just common sense.

There are plenty of women who prefer entrepreneurship (with all its risks) to steady jobs! Some even travel the world as digital nomads and bring their children along. Don't assume women are all focused on the boring things in life like security and creature comforts. ;)

Socioeconomic status is bullshit. If you're looking for someone who loves you, don't date women who care about finding a guy to make themselves feel rich or important!

It seems like you also want to avoid statists. I think you should look outside of the mainstream arena since you aren't seeking a partner who is mainstream.

I love Stefan Molyneux! Great post :)
