Gender ratio theory: http://aeon.co/…/how-rising-inequality-is-changing-marriage/

Societies seem to work better (and more people get married) when men outnumber and have to compete for women. This seems to have a lot of explanatory power:

-the sustained marriage rate of top 10% income earning women

-university hook up culture

-communities with high incarceration

-even stories about ancient Spartan vs Athenian women.
