Will be interesting to view society when large swathes of the population are single or childless in their 50s and 60s. Hopefully I won't be around by then.
Generally speaking, I think what the earlier poster is inarticulately saying is that modern feminism (on the topic of when girls overrate their overall attractiveness in the dating pool) substitutes what they in unproven theory think a guy should in fairness care about for what history and biology have shown he will actually care about.
Who we get to pair off with depends on what the other gender values, not what we think they ought to value. We can think a man shouldn’t disproportionally value looks among the females who will give him the time of day, but I really doubt any amount of modern social engineering will move the needle on this.
I've been playing social tennis (mixed doubles) for a long time and recently I noticed women in their 20's actually believe they are as strong as men.When most guys play doubles against a girl they play "politely" to put it s...

Just as it has always been, those old childless people will be surrounded by and supported by the offspring of people socially competent enough to find mates. Their bad genes, socially inept behaviors, poor socioeconomic situations, etc will not get passed on
I think a big factor is relying on the dating apps. It take no effort to write a tag line and post 5 pictures. If that and mass swiping is your dating strategy it is going to fail.
Now if you live an interesting life where you are interacting with lots of people and actually get to know someone, your chances will be higher. That takes a lot of effort.
Chad has sex with lots of women and keeps them satisfied.
Women would rather spend years without having sex than having sex with an unattractive male.
this is a fact too.
How do I know these things are facts?
Well, most men aren't having sex anymore, and not because they don't want to, but because women don't want them.
How will this end?
I don't know.
It would be better to make prostitution legal asap or I'm afraid things will go (really) sour.
What happens when most men wake up and realize they'll never have sex or a family?
I don't know.
Read "Whatever" by Houellebecq.
If anyone has ever watched Everybody Loves Raymond ... If Ray's mom and wife had options today, they would have never married their husbands. His dad is a jerk, and Ray is a doofus.
The big difference is women have options so men have to step it up. You can't just be financially well off, you have to take off the baseball cap and maybe be a nicer person. If that's so hard ... then you don't deserve a partner.
Women don't think they're 8s when they're 4s ... And even if they did, so what? Men do the exact same thing when they take off their shirts at sporting events to reveal their pale, flabby bods.

The fact that you think prostitution is the same as having sex with a woman that wants to have sex with you is the same thing pretty much explains it all...
Phones, and this goes both ways. People rely too much on "apps"
Once upon time as an example, you could go to a bar and you went to SOCIALIZE, drink, dance, play pool, etc. Nowadays way too many people, from all generations and epochs seem to be more into their phones and don't give off the "I'm available to talk to" vibe. Same if not worse at coffee shops. No talk, no date.

The only way to "step up": plastic surgery and penile enhancement (doesn't exist).
It's not about personality, being a nice person, having a nice job and other copes: it's all about ATTRACTION.
Humans CANNOT choose what they're attracted to. That's why rapists, nazis and racists have girlfriends. And that's why the instagram account mugshawtys exist
The real answer is dramatically lower testosterone levels among younger men. Why and how this has happened is open to debate, though oddly we don't hear that debate too often.
This problem manifests itself in men playing video games all day, not going out, less interest in sex, porn obsession, simping for unattractive women online, etc.
Look at the average 30 something guy. He's likely overweight and lethargic.
Slow moving and doesn't know how to conduct himself in public. They often come off as lacking confidence.
They typically have ungroomed hair and ungroomed facial hair.
The stocking cap and hoodie when it's hot out crowd just look like losers.
Women don't want this.
Guys on this message board are most likely fit. You should have confidence and project it.
You're also probably more intelligent than that loser buried in his phone when he's walking to his fast food job.
Don't be afraid of rejection because, believe it or not, many of you are what women actually want once they become women from girls.
These comments are hilarious. Sure, the men are lazy, unfit, whatever. Apparently no one realises that maybe men in general are tired of dating because women nowadays expect a lot of investment from the men without offering anything in return. For women everything should be equal if it benefits them, but that isn't the case when it's the other way around. A man with a bit of self worth and insight will see this and will choose not to participate in this nonsense. Seeing the comments on this forum, there aren't a lot of men with self worth here.
IMHO- I've 64 and for the last 10 years have been divorced. I've dated a few women much younger than I am- one was 28 when I was 59. A couple in their mid to late 30's and one in her 40's.
The younger ones, especially, told me that "men" their age just seem weak and immature. As if they have the emotional maturity of a middle school boy.
The don't understand basic gentlemanly behavior like holding doors, taking off their hat in the presence of a woman, even good grooming and dress.
For all the down votes- don't shoot the messenger.
Your second paragraph is probably accurate. Your third paragraph though? Woman aren’t obsessing over whether a man goes out of his way to open the door or take his hat off.
