In 2025, women "marrying up" is celebrated by some, condemned by others, and endlessly scrutinized in the so-called manosphere. But what do men and women really want in our fraught new mating economy? nyti.ms/3UV6qT0

People are either superficial or they aren't. A women what only brings her looks to the table deserves a man that only values looks. I don't hate on that, it's just not for me.

Most of the men that are upset can't afford a gold digger. To them a gold digger is a woman that wants you to have a job.

It takes 2 to tango. Some men like to marry the gold digger as a sort of status.

Women have always dated up and ended up with men much older than them. It's natural. Age gap relationships are normal and looking for "equality" in every relationship was a mistake. Power imbalances are a myth.

I think Annabel Monaghan or Curtis Sittenfeld or Emily Henry will just have to be this generation’s Jane Austen

A mating economy. The archetype for this aspiration would have to be Melania Trump. If ever there was a purely transactional relationship, it surely is that one. Certainly a quid pro quo worthy of the oldest profession. I always say “She made the deal.” You’re the girl in the Eagles “Lyin’ Eyes.”

In other news, chickensh*t @nytimes.com editors are (quietly) celebrated by press-hating fascists for looking the other way while Donald Trump uses the power of the presidency to cover up child sex crimes.

If a woman is expected to hold a job, get raises, be kind, donate to charity, and push a bowling ball out of her, she should have say in our choice of leaders. A woman has every right to expect to be helped financially by a man that is better off. Why does the man want to date her? For her looks?
