Nope, now Jane has a reputation for being easy. It won't be long before the star quarterback tells everyone on the team about his fling with Jane and every other guy on the team wants a turn.

Joe Schmoe can't take no for an answer and sustains a beat down. Joe's known as the creepy stalker.

In my book both are losers.
However, Jane still comes out ahead, no? (Not meant for you.)

Sorry guys plain Janes always win Woman always win.

Plain Janes has hook ups with good looking guy while she is young.
by the time she realizes she wants a serious relationship,she can always go back
to Joe Schmoe.

Meanwhile while plain jane is having her sexcapades. Joe Schmoe
is chronicly mastubating to internet porn,and standing on the walll at a bar
or club,painfully hoping that a girl is drunk enough to dance and talk to him.

Once plain jane is ready for a serious relationship,She goes to Joe schmoe
Joe schmoe has to accept this relationship,because its the only way he can be guranteed
sex on a daily basis.

Joe schmoe goes on live a life like Ray in everybody loves raymond,where he comes
home praying that plain jane doesnt have a head ache,so he can get laid once or twice this week.

Hehe. Sounds about right. Even if Plain Jane aka Margaret from Mad Men isn't 'cutting' with every guy that isn't Average Joe The Plumber, she still wields the power to decide. But sometime absolute power corrupts absolutely.

More and more men are becoming wise to this which is why marriage rates are plummeting.

Marriage rates are plummeting because plain Janes are having sexcapades in their 20s and Joe schmoes end up like a sit com on TV? Your thinking is so irrational. I don't understand how you can adhere to it day in and day out.

The everybody loves raymond complex is a big reason
for divorces going up and marriage rates declines.

Men are realizing that being in a relationship at high emotional
and sometimes financial capital cost, for consitant sex that becomes
less consistant over time because plain jane did not marry you for passion
but just for social and emotional stability is not a good investment

Joe schmoes are realizing its better to stay single
and just live for the occasional bar hook up or just to bang
ugly duckling for low capital cost.

The only realization here is recognizing the delusional rationalization some of you cling to. The reasoning behind it, as far as I can tell at this point, is diminished intellectual capacity. Maybe you missed the memo, but men are no longer needed for financial security in the west. That's just the way of it. Further, as has been pointed out (with links) a hundred times on this forum, it is men, by and large, that need women for emotional stability. Women tend to have social support systems outside of marriage. Men do not.

As far as what's good for Joe Schmoes or plain Janes, it doesn't really matter. All people do not have equal choices in life. As it stands there is disparity developing on the marriage frontier, as with other areas in western culture.

They proceed to her house where they have mind-blowing sex that she will cherish for the rest of her life.

Joe Schmoe has a crush on the head cheerleader who's the prettiest girl in the school. He knows that there are taller, more popular and better-looking guys competing for her affections, but he's absolutely enamored with her. So he approaches her after cheerleading practice and says, "Hey, I know a good ice cream place. Wanna go?" She replies, "No, but thanks for the offer." Then Joe says, "That new Star Wars movie is coming out on Saturday. Wanna go?" To which she replies, "Sorry, I'll be washing my hair on Saturday." Joe, desperate to get any quality time with his goddess, finally says, "Hey, my parents are out of town. Wanna come over?" She pulls out a rape whistle, blows it, and then Joe Schmoe sustains major internal injuries after being stomped out by members of the football team.

You'd have to say that Plain Jane comes out ahead on this one, no?

^^^^This is what happens when males presume to take a female's point of view.

In reality, Jane probably writes page after page of poetry in her notebook diary about the guy, avoids eye contact with him in the hallway, and ends up going to the prom with a fellow who later turns out to be gay.

If, by some odd twist of fate, she does end up having sex with the guy, it's because he found out through his cousin, who overheard her talking at her locker, that her parents were going to be out of town, saw an easy mark because she blushes every time he looks in her direction, offers to come over to "help her study," convinces her to break into her parents' liquor cabinet, gets her drunk, pops her cherry with zero to no foreplay, goes home, tells his friends about it, and pretends she doesn't exist the next time he sees her at school.

Thank you, drive through.

I see what you're saying. However, I think that some men are starting to realize as the poster you quoted wrote, marriage is more expensive monetarily than not being married. And by that I mean the divorce will cost you more in the long run than not being married. I look at my friend whom just finalized a divorce and the man is paying out the wazoo for alimony and child support. The relationship was also a emotional burden on him with scars that he still carries today. I can get a study to say anything I want it to say. Doesn't mean much in the real world.

But you are right in that everyone does not have equal choices in life. Such is life. However, when everything is even as should be the case with Average Joe and Plain Jane there shouldn't be any discrepancy but there is.
