Another example: I do not at all buy that most people (or at least most straight males) are able to avoid the trap of money-hungry romantic partners. Here’s an infographic:
The infographic you linked does not prove that most people are unable to “avoid the trap of money-hungry romantic partners”.
It does not at all preclude romantic partners from deciding together that they want one partner to be a homemaker or take a less highly paid job in order to pursue their interests.
Many people, especially older straight males who make a decent salary, wish to support their partner and have their partner focus primarily on raising their children. They would prefer this to the alternative where their partner works.
The non-egalitarian parts of this graph do not indicate “money-hungriness”, nor do the egalitarian parts of the graph clear either part of the couples from being “money-hungry.”
It could be true that straight men can’t avoid “money-hungry” partners (in fact, most people need money to survive and pursue their goals), but this chart does not at all communicate that.
Yes, my point was just that the graph alone cannot prove that people aren’t able to avoid “money-hungry” spouses and shouldn’t be cited as if it does. Arguments comparing it to a game of chicken make more sense to me, especially in child-free marriages, although for most marriages, I think it’s important to remember the specific unavoidable burdens on the child-bearing players of the game, a biological “throwing” of the steering wheel out of the window that isn’t at all symmetric between players.
I personally am planning to fully support my future spouse and be the primary breadwinner if they’re amenable to it, and in doing so have unintentionally opened up a larger amount of potential partners I could end up with. In my particular (majority male) social group, I am far more likely to hear complaints about not being able to find a partner who will be a stay at home parent than I am to find complaints about wanting a partner to pay for half of the bills.
I think it is strictly the better position to be in to be the working one while the other partner is taking care of the home, and am personally too ambitious to be willing to take a low paying job or ever be a stay at home parent, but men who wish to do so are of course fine to live their lives that way too.
