That rarely works. You can try telling them hey, here's all the reasons you want and need me as a man, your life is in shambles girl, you're broke, you're childless, you're THIRTY, I can rescue you, they seem to hate that even though it's true.
I hate the type of exchanges where a woman is like "I have this impossible dream..."
And I can legitimately reply "Oh, I already have that, in fact I have two, if you play your cards right maybe you can have two of them too..."
And the OFFER goes right over their head "Oh, maybe that would be possible SOMEDAY, but probably not...".
Oh well, if she's too dumb to take a hint that big she's not for me. My woman has to GET my humor and entendres.

Holy shit welcome to my world, I run a 25 year old water treatment plant. You probably know what that's like, tons of high tech automation that's state of the art, for 1999. Not so compatible with 2023 tech.
Good electricians come in and use PLCs to paper over our old shit...great electricians and electrical engineers came in and did a whole legacy integrating modern scada 'graft' into our old stuff last year and it's working great, finally, after a year of refining and literally millions of taxpayer dollars.
There is no option to replace a lot of our equipment, MOST OF ITS NOT MANUFACTURED ANYMORE, so the only option is cobbling lol.
Stuff like taking this multiplexed tone from a level sender, converting that to 4-20ma to then feed that signal to a digital converter to feed a plc that then reverts back to analog to trigger a mechanical relay, because the system that used to actuate that was a contactor so old and beat up it died and was irreplaceable.
And don't get me started on the TESTING of all that. I spend hours running tests, can I do THIS and make it fail, what if THIS happens, how about these two things at the same time, oh that did fail, send the bro-grammers a ticket...

My buddy is a software engineer, he lost a job opening at Nintendo, his dream job, because in an interview an old engineer asked him questions he had no clue how to answer.
The question: he drew two boxes on a whiteboard, one labeled CPU, one labeled RAM, and a line drawn between them. He then asked to describe this relationship...he didn't even know it was called a bus, he had no clue because he focused so hard on programming, he's so SILOED, he'd never learned how hardware works, it's not his specialty. The engineer was very upset with this, my buddy went to a top school and has a degree, how are they not teaching this he demanded, followed by a 20 minute lecture about how data moves through busses on the main board.
He's worked for the DOD for years making tons of money, and didn't know what to me was stuff I learned at age 10 building my first computer, actual building, I had to solder my cards and boot from 5" floppies, I'm old.

I can confirm men somewhat do this as well, when I started my current job the 'main guy' that runs everything invited me to the Texas Holdem game they would have Fridays and big holidays, a big group of coworkers, all men. This was at the company christmas party, we work a half-day and have a catered lunch, then off for the rest of the day. I declined, I'd just started working there and was getting back on my feet financially. Maybe another time they said.
The next Christmas, had a great first year, I get invited to the same game again, and this time "You've been here a year so we know you got money...", but I declined again.
It's been five years now and I've never been invited to anything with that group every again, and now in a few months that entire group has quit, been fired, or got retired.
I had others not in that 'group' I talked to and they said that's how it works, they invite you to the clique twice and if you say no both times, there is not a third.

For example, to make my workplace ADA compliant, which it's not because it's not a public building, but for the sake of argument... we'd have to rebuild our entry ramp and redesign the entire building, which would be a change big enough the DNR and EPA would have to sign off on it, that's a multi year process and tens of thousands just in design and engineering the changes, probably millions in materials and labor, and that's one water plant in a town of 3000 people in Missouri, now multiply that by thousands of towns nationwide...and that's just one small utility in government that might have dozens of such non-conpliant buildings. It's a huge lift.
Like the new water lead rules that take effect this year, we need to find, Id, and catalog every lead containing water line in the nation, BY LAW.
Good luck. My system has water lines over a century old, that no one knows where it is, no maps, but we're liable to the feds.
Makes me want to go stock at Walmart sometimes.

Iirc, the factor that explains that is married men get nagged more so they go to the doctor more than they want so things get found and dealt with faster.
I can't count the # of times I've had a minor ailment and my sisters are nonstop go to the doctor, go to the clinic, go to the ER, call 9/11, and I'm like it's just nausea, it's just a sprain, I'm just sick, it's only COVID, if all the DR will do is prescribe antibiotics or painkillers and tell me to rest, I CAN DO THAT MYSELF.
