i haven't seen a normal healthy relationship in a very long time, the most recent example that comes to mind is possibly a teaching assistant at my old university, who bragged all the time about her perfect relationship with a tall good looking guy, she was pretty good looking herself despite having no tits, and they had been together since 18 since they met at college and never stayed apart since then, status and looks match.
besides that it's a total shitshow, men marrying older women (seems almost an UNBROKEN RULE in the big city), marrying single moms, marrying women that nobody wanted and avoided until they got old
also another thing i noticed
- if the female has power in the relationship and has more SMV, the relationship stalls for a very long time, no marriage happens, no children happen, sometimes not even co-habiting will happen, the femoid will keep her options open
- if the male has power in the relationship and has more SMV, because the female is an ugly troll significantly older than him, then the female will behave the exact opposite way and FORCE marriage as early as possible
in either case the cuck will STFU and not protest for one second, he does what the femoid wants to do, and the only one "settling" is the male, as he accepts either a light relationship where the female keeps her options open, or a relationship where the female tries to lock him down and control him via marriage as soon as possible.
either way the male "settles" and gets fucked.
