10 Weird Rules College-Educated Women Must Follow To Find A Husband
Have you heard about Jon Birger’s book Date-onomics: How Dating Became a Lopsided Numbers Game? In it Birger applies economic rules to the business of
dating. You may think that romance and economics should be separate and that money should not play a part in love. Well, you might well be right, but only up to a certain extent.Money should not determine who you fall in love with (if it does you might find the marriage less satisfying in the years down the line) but the rules of economics, simple supply and demand actually translate very accurately, and indeed scarily so into the world of dating.
We all know that a premium attaches to a scarce resource but what are the scarce resources when it comes to love? Roses? Chocolates? No, it turns out that the scarce resources in modern day dating are college educated men! This means that if you want to meet the man of your dreams and get that diamond ring on your finger you are going to be facing some very stiff competition; in New York, for example, the number of single straight women is more than double the number of single straight men. This is where economics comes in. When a traditional resource is scarce (gold for example) enterprising prospectors search for new sources of the product. They spend time and effort exploring untapped regions and, if they are lucky they hit the motherlode.
In his book on the subject, Date-Onomics, finance and tech guru Jon Birger has set out clearly and succinctly exactly what young college educated women today need to do to maximize your chances of making a success of your dating dreams and beating your contemporaries in the race to the altar. Here, in this article we have summarized his 10 key points for you. Is it really true that if you’re over 35 and unmarried you’re more likely to be killed by terrorists than get married? Probably. But if you’re under 25, college educated and looking for a college educated man your chances are even worse! Keep reading.
