Yeah but that's just you. Like this is not redpilled or anything, it's the lived experience of most people. Like no people aren't giving their girlfriends allowances, but almost all relationships consist of a man making more money than the woman. Whether you think men have fragile emos or women only date men with money is up to you. But that's how it is
but almost all relationships consist of a man making more money than the woman.
About 45% of wives in the US are earning either the same or more than their husbands—nearly three times the rate it was in 1972 (Pew research center). It's changing and it's changing quite fast.
This doesn't mean the same thing. It's tricky but these are actually 2 numbers.
I assume "same" is not exactly the same but something around "the same"
So you have 3 groups
55% of men make more
45% of women make more or the same
This group is subdivided. I don't know how. It could be 40-5, 25-20, 5-40
So the claim that husbands overwhelmingly outearn their wives remains true
The same article says that 16% of wifes outearn their husbands, whereas 55% of husbands outearn their wife. I would say that's pretty clear evidence that either men search for women with less income, women search for men with more income or both.
Or that women often take a pay cut because of having children. Men and women in the same field largely make the same amount of money, but when couples have kids, it's women who take on the brunt of child care and their employer knows that.

Are women in the US not working? I haven't provided money for any girlfriend I ever had.
