Women Struggle to Find Men Who Earn as Much as They Do

A good man is hard to find, especially in this economy.

The country is facing a crisis of broke dudes, according to new research from Cornell University — and it's left successful ladies single and disgruntled.

In the study, published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, Cornell sociologists explored America's declining marriage rate. They discovered a lack of financially eligible bachelors.

“There are shortages of economically attractive men,” lead study author Daniel T. Lichter tells The Post. Although we like to think marriage is based on love, he says, it “also is fundamentally an economic transaction,” and women want partners whom they can call their equals.
