Economic Mating

It is my dream to write a breakout Economic Article that leaves my colleagues and those who read with a new viewpoint on the issue I talk about , but until then I will try my best to keep writing good articles /blog posts that more and more people will read and see My point-of-view (POV)

Today our topic is the Economics behind finding a mate.

A few years ago, the 80's and 90's when young adults when to college or university they not only went with the intention of getting and Education but to find a mate. In the past for many people who get married early they find their partner in University, college or even High School.But over the years fewer persons are getting married young and college relationships tend to be short lived.

It is my view that more and more people start looking for a spouse after they have achieved their personal, professional and economic short tern goals, practically when they get closer to 30-33.
This implies a mean age of 1st marriage of 29 for males and 27 for females. This is a solid representation of an Educational pursuit variable in the marriage analysis. but apart persons getting married later another question is which markets do both men and women go to look for a potential mate.

Statistically and logically the best market to look for a mate is college but since the focus has shifted at that point the next best alternative is working and social groups. Which sharply reduces the pool of eligible candidates for a spouse. However it is important note that mainly women have the problem in actually finding a mate.Some analyst comment that because men do not wish to settle down, women have a challenging time. My belief however is that women generally are looking in the wrong markets. For men they make pilgrimages to places where women will be, they network with colleagues about social circles and the men who actually wish to get married most times do.

So the real problem isn't the lack of (wo)men, but has to do with how the individual positions his/herself  to find that mate.

My advice to women is to look for a man from college, take a look around and see what you like, what you don't like ,what you can make work and keep your Gay-dar if you are not of that persuasion. For men play around but in doing so consciously select and deselect women who you can make work.

The rules of attraction are there as a guide. I am a man I know that men are attracted by physical things; Breasts, Buttocks, Hips, Legs, eyes, Stomach. In the case of women, as I did ask, they are mainly attracted to traits and lesser so features. Women tend to be attracted to males who show;Passion , Confidence, Respect, Intellectual Curiosity (Yea girls like smart guys too), a sense of Humor, and You cannot forget looks.

So guys, gals, people who are looking for a mate, take a look around an analyse your market, make smart choices and Do Not Give Up on LOVE!!
