A 30 year old man with a good career and assets will try to date the 23 year old who looks like a fitness model. That's not to say women who make money cannot look like fitness models. There are just few of them because time is a limited resource.
The other part is that men are not on a certain timeline. A man can could spend his 30s and 20s casually dating, then get married at 45 and have kids. Whereas women try to get married before 30, so then she can have a kid or two before it's too late. Sure 35 year old women can get pregnant, but it's common to have miscarriages at that age.
In the fall and winter, you have an excuse to stay in. Everybody else is doing the same, so you're not missing out on much.
Plus part of it is academic. For k-12 and university, you see your 'friends' and 'acquaintances' very often. During the non-academic season, you don't see people as much which can be isolating.
Plus summer and spring, has the expectation of "you're supposed to be happy". So if you're not, then this can be devastating. Winter everybody has this "we're all in this gloomy mood together".
Here's the big difference between the upper-class kids and everyone below when it comes to admission's fairness.
Everyone else says "I worked hard as an individual, therefore i deserve to get into a good college."
Upper-class kids says "MY FAMILY worked hard, therefore i (as an individual) deserve to get into a good college."
The emphasis is WHO worked hard. Upper-class kids tend to ride on the coat-tails of their parents and grand-parents.
if I took money from Trump, am I going pretend to act shocked when he did something controversial? No, I knew the whole time
People get the Costco membership but barely go to it because Walmart or Kroger is closer.
Plus some companies buy loads of Costco membership for employee benefit.
