I'm happily married with 2 kids, but weirdly I have recently been tuning in to a youtuber who talks a lot about this very subject!
He has a lot of opinions on this topic, but his main position is that modern media/women's mags/feminism/equal rights movements etc have created a societal "norm" where dating-age women (in general) have been conditioned to think that they deserve the absolute best from a partner, rather than just a partner who is suitable and compatible with them.
The youtuber often uses dating apps as an example, citing studies that show that between 80 and 90% of the women are only interested in dating the top-rated 10% of the guys...
This results in extreme competition between the women to "bag" the top looking/ top earning guys and often leads to behaviours that would traditionally be seen as "improper" on first or second dates!
The top guys are provided with a never-ending conveyor belt of fresh "conquests" and so have no real incentive to settle down.
And.... accidents do happen.
Point being - it's not necessarily always the guys that are getting into serious relationships and then "running away" when babies arrive... there is a whole new dynamic at play and I for one am VERY glad that I'm well past all that dating stuff!
The youtuber is called Better Bachelor BTW
I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but it is an interesting topic.
