you by definition can't be both

The divorce rate has gone down for younger demographics, yes. But at the same time the marriage rate has also gone down. Younger generations have become much more selective with their marriage, meaning the ones who do end up marrying have an advantage going into it. This means many of the people who would've otherwise divorced are simply not getting married in the first place.

So the breakdown of marriage is in fact accelerating. The youngest generations aren't "better at marriage", they're just more selective about it.

Fewer and fewer people endure a long-term relationship. And the factors playing into that are the same as ever - number of children, wealth, status, bonding and communication, physical attraction, and so forth.

You can also call the breakdown of marriage by another term: the increase in atomization. Younger generations are more disillusioned about life and romance in general than most generations before them. Education and the job market haven't been in a proper symbiosis for decades. This coupled with increased online presence makes people make more pragmatic choices as individuals instead of being naive and optimistic about family life.

it's more they are slower about getting married

because they watched the older generation get divorced so much

they tend to be in multiyear relaationships before getting married first

Not slower, less.

yeah

but that's what I mean

instead of getting a divorce

they were in a 2 year relationship

then broke up

or maybe 4 year

then broke up

Yeah but they don't end up marrying later instead

They just stay unmarried for life

Marriage is no longer the good investment that it used to be. Feminism and other things have made sure of that.

Well, good. Now men can be more selective about those thots, instead of marrying them and inevitably ending up divorcing them.

Used to be that they married them regardless and were unhappy.

Bad bitches don't deserve good men, asshole men don't deserved good women, simple.

Maybe this'll lead to a cultural revolution where people reinstate healthy social norms. But probably not in my lifetime.

It could also be described as such: "where have all the good men gone?"
Well, they're still there. They're not gone at all. It's just that women's demands have gone up, but the supply hasn't changed.

I believe it's also difficult for women to find those good men

in many ways

And men's demands are the same as ever. Which means the fact that women's demands has gone up has made them less valuable to men.
