"But it seems all the would-be husbands have been left functionally castrated by porn addictions, or slaving away at a 9-to-5 trying to pay for a tiny apartment..."

You have to build up one's career and buying power. It doesn't happen immediately. Sounds like she doesn't value a decent, hardworking guy or understand the work and years of effort that go into living a comfortable life. No wonder she can't find any good guys.
This comment is today's internet winner! Thank you! Our grandparents went to work and complained about it, it just didn't get exposure beyond the kitchen table and maybe a neighbor or two. Now every complaint is heard and reinforced the world over by social media where delayed gratification does not exist.
Yeah, I haven't worked a 9 to 5 job ever. My job is like 8 until 6 on good days. My husband works 8 until 4 on normal days, but way over during sports seasons coaching (he is a teacher). 9 to 5 jobs are just clocking it in, doing the bare minimum. Nothing wrong with that, but 9 to 5 jobs leave more than enough time to practice relationship skills and to go out into the world and find a mate.
Yeah, that line tripped me up as well. I am guessing it was just sloppy writing, and she meant something more like "slaving away at a 60-hour/week, high stress job so they can afford a tiny apartment in a trendy neighborhood".

Ha! Work and years of effort? What???!!! Sorry. Not even 9-to-5...not happening...:)
A consequence of living online is no ability to delay gratification.

That same line caught my eye. You don’t want a self-sufficient, employed man? You want a part- time dog walker or what?
