You are rationalising a process where the ratio isn’t the controlling part of our brain. How many of us decide whom they fall in love with, then make a series of logical steps to a steady future?

Indeed. In my case I followed my dick and ended up married and I admit that.

Totally agree.
I should probably just have said: A long term relationship may result after the irrational, random phase is over!

LOL! Sometimes that works out ok. My first wife and I were passionately in love but it didn't work out. I followed my dick the next time and I've been married longer than many of you have been alive.

They make the rounds, and any friction and a gal gets easily dumped. There is nothing for commitment, it's not needed it seems.

Men like that have always existed, an older friend of mine went to college in the early 70s and mentioned a friend of his in school who "majored in fornication", it's always been a thing.
The pool of men looking to be the step-dad of some other man's kids is considerably smaller than that seeking women without such existing commitments however kids are not a huge obstacle to a casual fling. It's only natural that it's harder for those women to find a guy who wants something long term.
