It's very clear that is the exact pattern of many, many American marriages. Women "experiment" with the guys that excite them, then when they start to realize they won't be young forever and that their charms are disappearing, they nab the first schlub that comes along who will marry them.
I have seen many movies that program women to think this way. The film starts out with the woman being cheated on by some handsome jerk. Then she "learns to love" some nerdy Jєωιѕн guy played by the likes of Jack Black or something. The TV show Six Feet Under played on this motif, with the main female character "Clare" being in love with the usual "bad boy" figure, then deciding to marry a neo-con Republican. The French film When the Cat's Away is the same thing, showing a lonely girl having casual sex with a rock musician, after which she ends up lonely again, searching Paris for her missing cat who is the only purpose of her life. Then she decides she is in love with some nebbish in a really unconvincing turn, but you can tell that the film knows its audience of desperate thirtysomething women.
This is constant in films, this same cycle, this theme of having your heart broken by the hunky jerk and then learning to settle, which they try to make it appear is an improvement. But in real life these women don't settle, they are too used to serving themselves. With these men that don't really interest them, they'll be dissatisfied and cheat, and end up in divorce court.
These schlubs tend to be the guys who didn't have the looks or charisma to attract women easily, so they worked hard and got good jobs in order to find a mate. When they see a beautiful woman with just a little age on her showing interest -- who of course will downplay her past -- they think they've hit the jackpot. Then of course all that happens is they buy a wife who ends up divorcing them and getting their money.
It's interesting how people who live immoral lives tend to become very "non-judgmental" about everything, including their sɛҳuąƖ partners. You start to see the most freakish combinations. Because at a certain point, these people are simply afraid to be alone and they don't care WHO they're with.
Men have a different pattern. A guy who has a tendency to be promiscuous will most likely stay that way, either not marrying at all, or marrying many times with numerous affairs and relationships in between, or just being routinely unfaithful. Men age better, generally speaking, and can get through an entire lfie this way, while no woman -- despite what the media tells you about Helen Mirren, that is all meant to puff up the ego of women -- stays really physically attractive into her sixties, in the sense of being desireable by many men. Women who live evil lives tend to plot and calculate, because they have to use what charms they have, when they have them, in order to get the "most" of out of life in terms of financial security and social advancement; evil men seem to just kind of narcissistically do whatever they want until something stops them, bulling forward with no conscience.
