The Spousing Bubble
by Adam Hills
I stood there by the wall of windows in my 14th story condo overlooking the city. At only 897 sq ft, the place was a tad bit small, but it was a damn nice place. I had just moved in, but I bought it 18 months prior and rented it out.
She stood there at the altar for the 4th time that year as a bridesmaid overlooking the crowd. At only 34 years old, she was a tad jaded, but she was still a damn nice all-American girl. She had recently realized her desire for commitment, but she had put herself on the rental market 15 years earlier as a hookup party girl.
With my mortgage, insurance and condo fees, I wrote a check for around $1,600 per month to own the place, and I considered my panty dropper little slice of the American Dream to be worth every red cent.
With her pleasant demeanor and attractiveness, a beta male would offer to work hard to keep her in a modest lifestyle and father her children, and would consider his reformed slut all American girl to be worth every red cent.
For the 18 months prior to my move-in, I rented the same place out for $2,175 per month and it never sat empty. People were willing to pay $575 per month above the ownership rate in order to keep their options open and avoid the hassle that comes with a commitment to ownership. When I moved to Austin for work, I rented it out again after running an ad on Craigslist for only three weeks thanks to a soft housing market flooded with renters. A foreclosure epidemic had led many lenders to turn away buying prospects saddled with undesirable credit.
For 15 years prior to her revelation that she wanted commitment, she was able to rent herself out to exciting Alpha males for sex, costly dinners and free vacations. Men were willing to pay more for her time than they generally would in order to keep their options open and avoid the hassle that comes with commitment. When she or the men moved on, she’d be rented out again in only three weeks after running an ad on Match.com thanks to a marriage market flooded with players. A promiscuity and “strong woman” epidemic led many desirable Alpha males to turn away marriage prospects from a female population saddled with undesirable attributes.

The property is up for sale, but in today’s sluggish condo market, I would never be able to sell it for the $256,000 I paid for it (a good deal when the market was up and the building was new) much less the inflated $364,000 the rental price suggests its worth. The property is generally valued more as a rental than a purchase due to a lack of interested buyers and the uncertainty of the real estate market. I could do a quick sale if I had to, but I'd have to settle for less than I paid for it.
She’s up for commitment sale, but in today’s sluggish marital market, she may never be able to sell herself for the price of Alpha commitment (a good deal before she had 50 cocks in her and she was younger), much less the exciting super-Alpha rock star sex-pistol commitment her inflated rental price makes her think she’s worth. She is generally valued more as a rental than a purchase due to a lack of interested Alphas and the uncertainty of the marriage market. She could do a quick wedding with someone if she had to, but she'd have to settle for a beta.
How many times have you heard a desperate, delusional woman who was five seconds from slamming into the wall (or had already plowed through it) say something idiotic like "I could get married right now if I wanted - I'm just not interested in those guys?" What she's really saying is "I could marry a beta loser right now, but I'm holding out for the Alpha I think I deserve based on the high quality jizz that's been shot in my face over the years."
Newsflash, my aging Americunt princess: Those betas you're rejecting are giving you an appraisal. Your marriage market value is not reflected in the sly grins of the Alpha males willing to fuck you sideways on vacation and never see you again; it's reflected in the puppy dog eyes of the Beta males who are willing to meet you at the altar.
As speculators, flippers and loose lending standards caused the housing bubble, so did feminists and loose moral standards cause the spousing bubble. A buyer who estimates a property's worth based on it's short-term rental price or thinks he'll gain equity in a down market is a fool; a woman who estimates her marriage market worth based on the high-value Alphas who fucked her, or thinks her aging wrinkled ass and saggy tits are somehow a form of equity is the same.
When will the spousing bubble pop? When will the inflated marriage market correct itself?
Not in our lifetime. Buyer beware.
