 Dates are expensive these days 
 So are groceries. He needs to keep up with inflation or he won't be able to feed her. 
 90% of men can't keep up with inflation. So I guess westerners will just stop reproducing. Which is exactly what's happening.

Women can say that it's mens' problem, but it affects us all. 
 If he can't keep up with inflation, how does he plan on feeding a family?

You think dinner out is expensive?
Try to feed teenagers. 🤷‍♀️ 
 So I guess most of us just die alone. 
 Not most, since most men are already married, but a lot. Up to a third.

Unless the economics changes rapidly, that is, perhaps through harder money. 
 I keep up with inflation, but can only afford one wife. 
 One is more than enough.

 My husband tells me this. 🤣

Says polygamists are insane because one wife is more than enough. 
 Besides, you have to do some mate-guarding and If you had more than one, then they might wander off in different directions and that would be tricky. 
 Well Lady H doesn’t need to worry because I pay for all our meals out
