The “everyone gets a wife” experiment lasted about 50 years and failed. Now it’s back to normalcy

And we are in a period of discomfort and growing pains as a society where women really don't need men, and men are nowhere near guaranteed a partner.

If anything, it's clear that going forward being single as a man is the exception not the rule.

But we did have a period of a few decades where marriages and coupling was the "expectation". This was because of the remnants of religion in society, the promotion of the nuclear family, and a more localised dating scene that was essentially a few dozen men in your local area and social circle. It was also the product of female oppression and dependency on men economically.

But it failed. Women gained economic and social freedom. Conservatism and religious values are fading away, and connectivity between a much wider sample of dating prospects has resent womens freedom and revealed their true preferences and desires. And low and behold, far more single men.

Monogomy and relationships "as standard" is no longer the norm. It's the exception and now something people do because they want to not out of necessity. And the biggest proof that the past few decades were a true failure and went against the human condition?

Nobody is stopping that way of life. Nobody has made it any harder for people to pair up and get married and live the nuclear family lifestyle. In fact, technically it's easier now than ever to communicate with a dating prospect and reach a wider group of people.

But women are not choosing to do that. They are choosing freedom, selectivity, and happiness.

"Everyone gets a wife" is over, and to be honest it's a side effect of positive societal change.
