Seen it a million times,
Probably 80% of guys who went from broke to rich overnight, usually via startup acquisitions, had nearly identical stories about a sudden extreme flip in their girlfriend’s behavior
Not talk gold-digger types, but rather usually opposite, plenty whose girlfriends were super independent types with their own careers, who would swear up and down that they didn’t care how much money the guy had
In nearly every case, nearly all were on the verge of breaking, or already broken up with the guy, being increasingly annoying to the extreme and making the guy’s life hell
…until the acquisition hits, and then suddenly the suddenly like clockwork the same women would completely flip, suddenly begging the guys to get married, suddenly out of nowhere doing all kinds of trad wife stuff the guy never asked for at all, suddenly begging for kids right now
Directly experienced it 2x myself, seen it dozens of times with guys I’d worked with, in a couple places I’d worked at which had acquired many startups
Coach Bruce’s comical story is wildly true beyond what you’d ever believe, until you see it yourself

Among the strongest evidence of these is the numerous studies of “resource shocks” e.g. mining booms and busts, around the years over the decades
— which like startup acquisitions, suddenly turns a bunch of below-average salary guys (typical for startups to intentionally take below-market salaries as a sign of confidence to their investors), into suddenly rich guys, overnight
EXACT SAME findings:
+ Before mining boom, when men and women are earning similar = low fertility
+ Mining boom hits, suddenly causing the men to far out-earn the women = suddenly tons of the women are begging to get pregnant, fertility boom
+ Mining bust hits = fertility again plummets
Men earning similar to women collapses fertility, no matter how much the couple earns.
Men suddenly earning far more than women, fertility booms.
Many women instinctually HATING this reality, perhaps because they can’t stand some implication that they’re gold diggers or whatever.
Guess what, GUYS HATE THIS REALITY FAR MORE.
But love it or hate it, it’s an overwhelmingly confirmed, undeniable reality, not for all, but for the vast majority of the population.
Embrace truth.

Myth: gender pay gap
Reality: gender work gap
If you measured it properly,
= income / hour worked
Women have absolutely dominated guys in this metric, since the dawn of humans… no, since the dawn of sexual reproduction, and it’s not even close.
(There are ofc cases where it’s flipped, with a lawyer wife, or equally earning spouses, but if you insist on looking at the population level, for entire genders, this is the reality.)
Refusing to use this proper metric to compare gender earnings is on the same level as refusing to use per-capita to compare race crime statistics. Statistical absurdity.
Does a slavemaster who works 0 hours but gets all the earnings suffer a “wage gap” versus the slaves who are working many hours?
No. Statistical absurdity.
Embrace truth.

Another reality check:
Long-term cohabitation absolutely kills many women’s interest in sex.
Men’s sex drives totally unaffected.
And before you start making some wild excuses or reasoning for it, no, just stop. None of your advice is going to change this reality at the population level.
It’s just the truth, for a huge fraction of the population. Is what it is. Just embrace it.
