If you think a single girl in Britain has made it to 30 as a virgin then you are slightly deluded. “Traditional” is a misnomer. It has been in collapse for about 500 years. It always depended on external sanctions, which were largely shot away by 1850, nevermind 2018.

Then don't marry a 30 year old whose ova are mostly degraded if they've not been used up already. Marry a younger woman, from a family that's taught her that she needs to marry earlier if she wants to maximise her chances of a decent family life. (1/2)

1. British women become sexually active at 14 (low class). Middle classes at 16-17. The idea that a family “instructs” a girl is alien to British modernity, and doesn’t happen outside bizarre religious sects. Young women have 0 interest or incentive to marry an older man.

2. They have their pick of attractive younger men in their sexual prime, and they’re also expected to be educated and to have completed that before (+career) marrying. That puts the age range of marriage up to, at earliest, 27.

I am interested in the aetiology and genesis of this pattern of behaviour (which is indeed empirically attested), specifically in the British context. What kind of pressures cause and sustain such behaviour? Do you have any literature (by you or others) on that?

I think any book on the sociology of sex in Britain published recently would cover it. It’s the pattern for the entire Western (&. Westernised world) pretty much. Cause? Education of women, collapse of the family/religion, birth control, feminism, women entering workforce.

I’ll look into it, though I am weary of academic sociology because of its progressive bent. Those are the material factors, yes; but where does the pressure to become promiscuous come for these girls? Their mothers? Their peers? The media? All of the above? (Most likely)

There's a decent discussion on this made by the youtuber 'The Distributist'.https://youtu.be/5wuBQa86nj0

His main idea is that women are choosing younger, more sexually oriented men despite at least subconsciously wanting to settle down because they don't perceive older men as an option, and haven't finished their educations and worked yet. They end up behaving like those men.

I’ll have a look at it. Seems like a good summary, but the definitive detailed history of how and why it came about has yet to be written, I think.

@RationalMale and M. Houellebecq (“Atomised”) are strong on this in my opinion—as is Schopenhauer.
