If either men or women have been “success objects” in prior generations, from what I’m reading, that might not hold for future generations by virtue of pure economics.

Since such a huge percentage of young people are so far “behind the curve” financially, with regard to establishing themselves in careers, buying their own homes, etc., etc.–perhaps we’ll find that, for the majority of the population going forward, the concept of choosing someone because of what they can provide you with in life may simply disappear because that option no longer exists.
