Definitely. By our definitions, a normie can get sex or else they would be an incel.
Wrong
Being able to "get sex" and being able to "get sex as consistently as you'd want" are two different things, and you don't have to do the last one in order to be a normie
A lot of normie men get laid sporatically, some of them got months at a time sexless before they get another girlfriend or even a few years, they don't magically become incels because they have to wait a little longer
An incel has to pay for sex but a normie naturally has girls interested in him.
You clearly don't talk to any normie males IRL, you are literally describing Chad right now. Normie males have to go out of their way to invoke interest and more importantly
MAINTAIN INTEREST so they don't get cheated on or dumped
Women will literally dump if they think you "became boring"
You are literally describing dating as a Chad and saying that's how it is for normie men
You do not need to spend money on a date but you definitely need to spend money on a hooker
I don't know how many guys you think are going for a "walk on the beach" and getting bitches to drop the draws afterwards but you care clearly deluded
Chad can pull that off, but an
AVERAGE man, no
I think the problem is you are hanging out with incels and conflating them with normies.
I think you have no real sense of reality and you are the cliche "basement dweller" incel who bases all his beliefs on memes, so you have no idea what a "normal man" is
The guys I'm talking about have had multiple girlfriends, some of them have children right now (may or may nor be married, I don't know)
Dating for average men is not some effortless thing, its a struggle, its an annoying series of "mind games" that you have to play in order to get laid
You don't just say "lets netflix and chill bro" and then you get to fuck, you need to stop watching those American Pie type of movies and thinking that's how normie males are living
Come on bro
First sentence of the abstract:
This study investigated how savings behaviors between individuals in cohabiting and married relationships differ.
Were the individuals two males or just an unmarried male and female couple?
That's the question, I'm willing to bet it was just for unmarried couples, not two single males that weren't dating
Also:
This advantage remains even when household income, number of children in the household, respondents’ age, race, educational attainment, and working status were kept consistent.
Advantage relative to what, I don't think you are even reading properly
The average cost of raising a child to adulthood is around 230,000
So how the fuck would a married couple that have children have a financial advantage when compared to two single men living together that don't have to worry about spending an extra 230,000
You aren't looking at which groups they are comparing, having children, paying a mortgage, paying tuition, etc,
IS OBVIOUSLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN LIVING AS A SINGLE MALE
You are misinterpreting the study because you aren't looking at which groups they are comparing and under which circumstances
I guarantee they are comparing unmarried couples that co-habitate to married couples that co-habitate, but even then your quote is out of context and doesn't make sense, because the unmarried couple that doesn't have children will obviously have more money than the married couple that has children
The "number of children in the household" will obviously make a difference when it comes to spending
If I had a gf in my two bed that would further decrease the amount of money I fork up. The savings on my housing would be such a plus. Even if she isn't living with me saving money on groceries on entertainment would be welcome.
1. Women hold around 2/3 of all student debt
2. Women control 85% of all consumer purchasing decisions
Women spend more money period and they expect their men to spend money on them, having a girlfriend is like having another bill to pay along with all your other utility bills
If you think having a girlfriend will be cheaper for you
IN THE LONG RUN you are a fool, and the further you progress in your relationship the more it costs
