Millennials are causing the US divorce rate to plummet [ed: “plummet” is hyperbole]
Americans under the age of 45 have found a novel way to rebel against their elders: They’re staying married.
New data show younger couples are approaching relationships very differently from baby boomers, who married young, divorced, remarried and so on. Generation X and especially millennials are being pickier about who they marry, tying the knot at older ages when education, careers and finances are on track. The result is a U.S. divorce rate that dropped 18 percent from 2008 to 2016, according to an analysis by University of Maryland sociology professor Philip Cohen.
Sometimes superficially good news conceals much worse news. This is the case with the latest divorce rate statistics.
The Shrillennial divorce rate is lower than previous generations because
1. they are getting married later in life when they have fewer sexual market options to tempt them,
2. fewer of them are getting married (marriage has become a signifier of UMC membership) and
3. PoundMeToo has scared them to retreat to their fapatoriums.
These are not good developments from a society-wide perspective.
From Doom Chesterton:
in the year 2050 the last economically viable unmarried heterosexual man will have his career destroyed by vague, decades old accusations from the last non-lesbian female, and the divorce rate will go to zero
women hardest hit
haha. Delayed marriage is really the killer tell of a culture in decline. Delayed marriage works to everyone’s benefit in one context: when women are kept (relatively) sexually pure during their premarital years, largely to avoid the “alpha widowhood” syndrome which occurs when a woman has supped of alpha male staffs and consequently can never fully commit her love to the beta male with whom she will inevitably settle.
What’s the difference between a woman who marries later in life after her body has been spent by a decade or more riding the cock carousel, versus a woman who marries young, divorces, and remarries? If anything, the latter likely has spread for fewer cocks than the former. In this case, a higher divorce rate could signify an emotionally and genitally healthier marriage market.
And the latter likely has more kids. A dried up husk of a careerist battlecunt shrike at the ripe old age of 37 would be lucky to pop out 1.2 non-autistic sprog with her soypplicating beta hubby.
If you’re interested in making America great again, what you’d look for is an egalitarian trend in marriage — more long-lasting marriages in the middle and lower classes — and more younger marriages with larger families. You’d also do like Based Italy and make it harder for women to initiate divorce, since women are responsible for 70% of family breakups.
During the Roman Kingdom, marriage was sacred. During the Roman Republic, marriage became something easily broken. And during the Roman Empire, the idea of a lifetime, faithful marriage all but disappeared — except among the Christian remnant.

It was everything I could to bite my tongue when my friend’s wife, who is north of 35 and had to go in vitro to barely get their first kid, talked about potential for a second kid.

I just found out she’s half-Russian and visits about each year. Has family in Moscow.
I like teasing her and she responds well to it. She’s at that precipice age where she “needs” a kid. She’s prime.
I’ll be honest with you: I am overthinking this too much.

She is probably keen to date you. Don’t over think it, just do it. Russian women are easy to date, very little game required, just be a man and have values and principles. You are already good looking enough and age means nothing as long as your plumbing works. You are on her target list because you already display these characteristics. She will be an exemplary w**e and mother. They are programmed for it.

They are worth their weight in gold if they are the good type. She sounds like it. My w*f* has had two kids and still has a nice smooth ass, legs, and a great figure. She will turn 40 in about two months. When she was teaching Russian literature, she was easily one of the hottest women on campus including the students in hr mid 30s. The woman upstairs from us is also Russian and is a beauty after two kids. I had a crush on her for a while. Ask her to make you some Pelmeni. Meat dumplings very similar to the Chinese kind. I just had fried ones mixed with salad. Good stuff. I have enjoyed being a father too. They like a big age difference with the right man. Just don’t be an old fudd who sleeps in front of the TV and you will be in like Flint.

It can also be low sperm in the husband. The little man was conceived with my wife at age 38 and on my second nut. I was 55 at the time. Send her over to see me.

I’m sure it’s also the hubby. Big drinker–especially beer–has that gut, so for certain that doesn’t help. He is active, but just around the house kid of things. Nothing of a lifting sort or in that regard.

No wonder he drinks beer. You have to screw at least every other day if you want to conceive. Homeliness is an obstacle to that.

One of the underlying problems is that in the West, we have de facto no fault divorce. And many Western countries, mainly in the Anglosphere, have draconian laws with respect to child custody, child support and alimony. Paraphrasing Milton Friedman, you can have no fault divorce, OR you can have alimony etc. but it is foolhardy to have both.

Dating/hook-up apps have conditioned women to have standards that are so unrealistic they border on bizarro world stuff.
The thing is women deep down know their exact sexual market value, so rolling the dice on alpha cock causes a tonne of cognitive dissonance.
