NO. No. Please. Not again with the supply and demand silliness. It's wrong. It's silly. And it's old. Very old. And it's being used here in the wrong context of sociobiology & evolutionary psychology. Really. Let's cover only some of the salient points, as I'm not sure if anyone's interested or listening. Premises: 1. Guys & gals Want, Desire & need Love. 2. BOTH SEXES Like & desire Sex. Really. You know this. Why on earth would any woman want to try and deny this to try to gain some putative 'advantage' in some (any) marketplace? Reputation perhaps, but this is truly a different age. No a longer horse and buggy culture where 'fast women' are decried as the universal 'scourge of youth'. 3. How Much do the partners Desire sex & how much are they willing to pay for it? This is critically more important than any projected simple 'supply & demand'. Without this? There IS no supply, nor demand! What happens when you get email, a mainly almost costless & now ubiquitous communication system that can easily convey complex written texts & much more? The Post Office goes broke! It's users use it less, it's needed for fewer things, and it's volume never recovers. What happens when any bloke with an computer ($300+, sometimes supplied by parent) and an Net connection ~$20-30 mo. can download more images of beautiful naked women doing whatever he might imagine in his most wildest erotic dreams for essentially Free? The market is reconfigured. Now I don't think this is the main problem here, (what's wrong w/ a few serial 'college marriages', and why do you imagine this is somehow 'new') but it's a start to understanding the supposed 'economics of the 'marriage market'. So again, how to describe the market? It's really not a 'sex' market. Sex is now ubiquitous. It's everywhere. People can download high quality porn into their phones for amusement. It's mostly free too. More images of nakedness & skin than a small village might have viewed in a lifetime of illicit pleasures just 50 years ago. Available to any teen with a modem & a 'home' isp address. Again, this creates a disincentive for many of the guys to actually get up off the couch and meet 'real live girls'. After all, they're much more complicated to figure out, and the sex per expenditure on the 'real' gals is often in multiples of 10's -$100's over the 'fantasy' that's readily available on the net.
