The principle of scarcity may work in business, but it does not work the same way with emotions, love, or sex.
A woman choosing to tightly guard access to her body does not automatically inspire commitment, loyalty, or respect. It does not stop some men from pursuing sex, getting what they want, and walking away. Nor does it guarantee that a man will stay.
People do not remain because something is scarce. They remain because there is connection, character, trust, compatibility, and genuine desire to build a life together.
Scarcity can create demand. It cannot create love. π€·ββοΈ

There are markets where the tax environment is different, housing costs are lower relative to income, and your wages actually go further. Not for the ultra-wealthy β for working professionals who've done the sums and decided to look elsewhere.
If you're watching this and thinking that's my life β you're not failing the system. The system is failing you.
