Oh, please. Leaving aside the fact that women lie about this sort of thing routinely, you only have to do a Google search to figure this stuff out, assuming you can't just observe what women do. Don't listen to them, watch them. That tells you all you need to know. You're just being emotional now. Any sane thinker can see the reality of it.
I live in an area that was one of the centres of Australian 1960s counterculture, and we still have communes up and running in my valley. We get somewhat more than our fair share of those who reject chasing material success, and scrape by on subsistence incomes, or selectively work little, and offset low incomes with modest, self-sufficient lifestyles. Getting partners does not seem to be an issue for men (or women) in this situation. Quite the opposite, actually.
Likewise, if you look around at your average guy who would fit the description "deadbeat", on the whole, they seem to have no issue getting partners, and indeed children. Ever heard the phrase "deadbeat dad"? How does such a phrase even exist if women are all throwing themselves at the Masters of the Universe?
So, Zark, now that I've done my observations, and seen for myself that your claim looks less than convincing given the available evidence, I should reject it, right?
