You're hearing hooves and thinking zebras.

A couple that splits expenses will be better off than someone who carries the load by themselves.

"also". It doesn't have to be one or the other. Both could be contributing factors, and it looks like the research didn't control for either.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

fair, but you're kinda wedded to the idea that "People with more money" more readily get partners in a weird way.

[-] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

It is true that it's harder to date when you're poor. Try taking a woman out to dinner and asking her to pay for you. See if you get a second date.

If these are the only dynamics you think possible in dating, then money ain't the reason you're not getting a second one.

I mean, by inspection, it seems easily true. If you’re working 100 hours per week, you’re probably not taking much time out for dating.
