>>586334I'm a shabbos goy, not Jewish. But, still the problem with hypergamy is it creates a lot of losers, of both genders. How many spinsters exist today? Monogamy spreads the losses out at least. But, the main problem is, and this is going to sound edgy, but not enough young men die. Some historians actually studied this, and every so often major wars, like the Napoleonic wars or the world wars, would pop up and cull a certain % of young men. Similarly a famine or something else might also cull them. The problem nowadays is a lot of men just shouldn't exist. Think about infant mortality rates and how historically low they are. I even read an article in (((The Atlantic))) explaining how we have an excess of elites.
We really are living in interesting times. At least back in the day, Leofwine's potential wives could get jobs and were sort of forced into marriage.
