If women are so concerned with a partners socio-economic status then why do we have so many single mothers having babies with unsuccessful men. For many women money is never a factor in casual sexual encounters, it is all about physical attractiveness.

The lack of any relationship for years is a red flag for allot of women. Being in one is attractive. Once I got a girlfriend, other girls who ignored me suddenly were laughing and touching my arms. It was disturbing how they acted, knowing I was taken. As soon as I broke up, I become invisible again.

[@lancemurdoc6744]

Women are the "selecting sex" thats a biological fact. But as soon as 80% of women try to select only 20% of men, then the top guys are able to choose. Women are also much more likely to choose a spoken man than a single guy. So women create a polygamous society. They hate it themself, but they are unable to think rational. How should we, as men solve this, by telling them "oh, you are fine, you are right" ??! By the way, a degree deos not necessary mean that you are smart. The really important, heavy, dangerous and dirty work (except rising kids) is still disproportionately done by man...by the men who women don't respect. Thats the ugly truth.

[@stonemarten1400]

For a lot of ordinary, decent men, there’s actually very little choice and for a small minority of top guys, a huge amount. For most women, the choice is also rather narrow, as they target those top 10% of men.

I have said it, they have said it too, and I will say it again. Marry someone based on "set principals and values", this sounds like homework and boring factor but it guarantees much better chance of life long and successful partnership. I The worst way to get married is when you marry based on extreme infatuation (ignoring all other factors), after having great sex for couple of weeks, you seems to have great connection with this new person (thinking that alone will suffice) etc. . You should be we to talk about, childern, finance, religious beliefs and all boring stuff before hand because marriage is boring and will get boring. You take care of this then you will have successful partnership in marriage.

It’s feminism and the unrealistic expectation’s that have been taught and perpetuated by the mainstream and frankly I’d say it’s to do with the sale of antidepressants, you might want to consider which single demographic is highly dependent on them. I’ve lived in numerous cultures and found outside of countries where feminism hasn’t been installed, family values and the traditional family are prioritized. Feminism tells women you’re being treated unfairly and ignores the trials and tribulations that men undergo in a relationship, it’s a selfless act given by both partners for the good of your children. Such a simple concept which is scoffed at in the west and feminism

To believe in such a thing would be to have no education in basic economics, to lack any complete ability to be impartial, to be stuck in an echo chamber and to be void of logic. Women live longer, men are descriminated against by law, women are favored in high skilled jobs and in many industries because of their gender. Women get all the scholarships in education, dominate education at 60%, earn more up to the age of 30, society makes living life on easy mode for women in western society. The fact that men on the whole earn more is because they deserve it, despite the odds. Men work more hours, more dangerous jobs and are 6/7 work centric compared to women who prefer work/life balance at 1/7.

Or chase status herself and then just pick men to have fun with. Women dont want to depend on a partner. Just expect and demand of him. When he has nothing more she leaves for someone who has. A Womans life isnt about earning and growing. Its about consuming and reacting. She simply chooses. A Life of being entertained. Like that of a child or a dog/mammal. She doesnt need to think, Just feel and enjoy. Even when dating she sits back and demands men to entertain her at his expense. Women literal have no accountability and the freedom to spend all your money and just leave. Love, romance. Men love idealistic. Or maybe those ideals are tricks came up to push men to provide attention to the parasite called a woman. You can virtue signal all you want. But when the reality is observed. Women with all their equality, slogans and virtue signaling haven't made an attempt in keeping society functioning.

I think for a lot of us men especially once we get to the point where we’ve built our stability and success we realize the benefits of being in a romantic relationship are overshadowed by the risk and sacrifices that come with it. Why would I risk everything I’ve built for someone whom could exploit me when things aren’t going as they want? Why would I give up my peace and freedom to bind myself to the whims of another? For many of us with a decent social framework the only thing that that doesn’t provide is the sexual aspect of it. Many of us see that as a risky proposition that potentially puts us at the mercy of a legal system that historically does not side in our favor. If the only thing my social framework lacks is sexual gratification then I myself would rather avoid the risk and just satisfy that need myself.

I met my husband at the bus stop 9 years ago today. We are happily married for 2 years. I didn't use any dating apps, I just went out and started talking to him. That's the beauty of saying what if, go and do it. Also, tune into your value systems not so much about education, money or what they have. For a relationship to work you need at least 40% attraction and 60% everything else. How does he make you feel? Does he make you laugh? Does he provide for you... but it doesn't have to be a high level job. If he has values that treat you well, work hard, and is kind and you are attracted to him. Then stop looking... you got him. So stop looking for something better because most of the time they will not treat you right like the person who may not be as popular.

Very true. Women need to calm down and stop living in a fantasy. Marrying for money or status is the quickest route to a miserable life for both men and women. Most men will not admit how turbulent and miserable promiscuity, going for extremely attractive plastic women and multiple partners make their life because men like to think about positive results even when doing things that are detrimental. Just like most women won’t admit how lonely and miserable constantly dating for money, looking down on perfectly good men that will make great partners or chasing after the so called high value men makes them. You are already making money, I’ll never understand why you cannot respect and give yourself to a man that doesn’t earn as much if you two are supposed to be partners.

With social media and dating apps it is way easier for women to just find someone else than it is to work on a relationship once it becomes challenging. I craved a meaningful relationship with someone ever since I was attracted to girls... being married, having children, building a home, finding a "soulmate" and all the antiquated romantic things one could imagine. But after so much heartbreak I have sort of given up on that dream, the pain of yet another breakup after getting my hopes up is just too much to bear. You develop emotional scar tissue and you sort of lose the ability to love. Each breakup damages you a little and then comes a moment when you just don't feel anything anymore and people become just a fun "thing" to do. The new discourse is: live the moment, have fun and let go... I hate it but also I have no control over it, times have changed.

At the same time a lot of young women have wildly out of sorts expectations on their ‘mr right’. One way or another, come what may, reality will bite back, and it’ll uncaringly bite back hard.

RPMT, you're so right. I would confirm women should definitely NOT lower their standards. Even if that means you need to train your patience. I did it several times (they had lower value than me, narcs and abusive or just not a good match) and it was terrible, painful and a complete waste of time in the end. It goes nowhere.

I'm not sure why women want a guy with more status. What could be more attractive than a man who genuinely cares? I realize there must be some attraction, but someone who is willing to go the distance should be so much more attractive than a guy who just sleeps with every woman who is willing. When dating the man I married, I remember how he made me feel when he would always walk me to my car and he would ask me to call when I got home. He would call me in the mornings and tell me he hoped I would have a good day. He has flaws, but I have them as well. Welcome to the human race.

I can't believe how accurate he was with his words. I was that woman who was uneducated and looking for a man to marry and have kids in my mid 20's. I was living in a small town with limited options and found no one. So l moved to the city for better prospects. Still didn't meet a man. I was used and left broken by a man at 38. It was then that l knew it would take me years to heal from his hurt and that it meant I would never have children. I could also no longer see my value as a woman to a man because I would not be able to have his child. So l needed to come up with a plan for myself to look after myself financially. I never cared for education because I was taught by my parents it was unnecessary as I would get married and have children. Which l also thought was my life path. But att 40 went to university to get my nursing degree. Just as l started to work my first job at 44 I met one of those high value men that every woman wants and he is newly divorced. And even though I know the feeling is mutual, what's the point when so many women want him!! I never wanted a man like that. Don't want to deal with the fact he is always tempted with other women. At the end of the day there will always be women, younger, smarter, more beautiful than me and everyone else. What's the point?! What's the point if I can't have kids as I'm too old now.

You are raising a good point and it’s a shame that some men are experiencing this….but Is this really because of women as the main reason? As most men don’t open up and express their emotions. Most men don’t allow themselves to be vulnerable and do not have healthy friends who they can literally cry on, men always have to be men and act tough and strong and that isn’t healthy. It’s a conditioning that goes beyond mens interaction with women. Women cry with other women, open up, cuddle each other, have slumber parties, process emotions when they go through a breakup. Isn’t it time that there’s a conversion on men finally starting to let go of always having to be so strong or resort to sleeping around to find some form of fulfilment. Something has to change! Men need to start deeper conversions on some of what I’ve shared above.

I think perhaps there are pieces missing from this conversation. A reason that people take a break from dating is to try and become emotionally healthy eg. work on developing a secure attachment styles to avoid acting out co-dependent patterns. Many people don't have healthy relationship role models and see only destructive or painful relationships. I think there is a movement towards trying to redefine relationships so that they support good emotional health. We haven't arrived there yet and the transition is painful.

@@PRHVideoFileIt's even worse on dating apps such as Tinder etc, for example, where women only swipe right on ~5% of men while men swipe right closer to the ~50% mark. Agree on the problem with porn however. But that is a result of the immorality and degeneracy feminism and Marxism has pushed hard for, for decades ever since the fertility control inventions (contraceptions and abortion which is rooted in eugenics) which sparked the sexual revolution which was advocated for by early feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir, the post modern Marxists such as Michel Foucault etc. It's the same ideology which drives the alphabet dogma today as well as the feminist one. If I'm to be fair to women regarding critique when it comes to men, it would be fair to say that they haven't really been taking on their responsibility and duties as men but at the same time if they had they would have been deemed patriarchal and toxic by our modern women and the culture the progressives, social democrats are advocating for and enforcing. There's no fixing this problem, it will persist and haunt not only us but our children and grand children as well and most likely several generations onwards after them. We, our children, grand children will witness a dramatic population collapse. We'll be lucky if there are more than a billion people left on the planet in 100 years.

The reason men aren’t putting in the work for relationships is because women are giving it up easily. If you won’t somebody else will. Sexual liberation goes both ways.

[@alaalfa8839]

There is a quote that if you start practicing meditation, metacognition, and physical exercise it helps you to release stress, for example, Qi-Gong helps muscle release and mental health, mental blockages etc. Or you may practice breathing techniques. If you will practice empathy, love, and gratitude more than 50 percent or more than 70 percent of the day, you will start noticing changes in your life, in health, relationships, jobs, hobbies,etc Because your body will feel cleaner and energized as all the negative thoughts and also the toxins will be released out of your body thanks to Qi-Gong or another type of exercises, laso regeneration of your body will be much faster because it creates better circulation of the blood that transports nutrients, and it increases the circulation of other body fluids. It prevents overtinking, and insomnia, improves immunity etc. You will feel more at ease and you will feel your muscles and organs better. You will breathe better. People will notice your good energy. Also, you may practice Static Qi-gong which has all these effects on the body and muscles. The one exercise is called Qi. You may exercise it 5 minutes, because its not easy to maintain the balance. Gym exercise creates pressure in muscles but This Qi static exercise creates a "muscle release". It improves your body posture. You will better feel the pelvis whether it's in a good position etc. As it strengthens your body balance and it also improves your mental balance. The energy is flowing from your head to your feet, your feet are rooting into the ground and under the feet. then as the energy goes to the ground it goes back up to your body, which improves the circulation of the body fluids. You may laos research a Medical Qi-Gong. Doctors who do accupressure use it too. Or you may do other exercises such as Thai-chi etc, but the thing is you should practice self-love, which improves the energy of your mind and body and practice empathy and gratitude, or some meditation because mediation is releasing negative emotions or false beliefs about your self-worth and it affects your career, relationships etc.

The key points that I picked up from this discussion are that there is a misconception that one cannot have a relationship and persue their personal goals in tandem. And, that people are being quite superficial when looking for a life partner. If the first part was immutably true, there would be so many more issues in the world right now. It depends on what one values and what one determines is worth spending time on. As an example, take a look at the life of RBG. The second part has been taught by society and needs to be tempered a bit to get closer to reality. People should be looking for someone who they are compatible with, whom they are attracted to, who shares their values and hopefully inspires them. The other things are secondary, still important, but not the foundations. If one only looks at the superficial things, and ignores the deeper parts of others they will almost always be disappointed by the fact that their vision doesn't match up with actual people.

Thank you for sharing this gentlemen! I really appreciate it as a 52 year old American man living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I've seen so many in divorce or in third or more marriages or just plain are staying single and have given up on relationships. It is so sad. I am a Christian man, also, and when I tried the other day to give out Gospel tracts that had written on them about love, many had just ignored me or just plain said no! No! to love. Whether they were a teenager or older, many rejected a message about love. I mean, not all, but a good many that past me by on the street. I wanted to cry because there is so much hate in this life. Some years back, I tried to give a young couple this same message and they said no that they didn't want it. Wait a minute, weren't theyjust holding hands and in love? Oh, no! They say we don't want love. That would be a bad thing. So what did they have then if not love? Only hate. People don't want love. You know that God is love and without God we wouldn't have love. A world without love is what we have now. I'm in a loveless sexless marriage with my wife for almost 20 years now and I hate marriage because of what my wife had done to destroy our relationship. I still loved her, but she didn't love me back and threw it all away. So I've started to lose trust in love. I've asked God to renew my faith in love and in marriage again. I don't want to go to a wedding again either because I'll only cry thinking that the bride and groom will be divorced later. I've been to so many who have ended up this way.

I notice many men prefer what I’d say “out of their league” and then complain to be rejected. Why men don’t choose someone of the similar level as they are? (Financially, physically, socially)? There are lots of great women who are “average” and who want a simple cozy life with a good “average” guy. They are realistic and their expectations are also reasonable (I don’t say you don’t have to do anything at all for the relationship to work!! ). Many women feel invisible - they don’t feel being taken seriously “in the love market”. They are willing to work for the relationship, but it should be from both sides! Since women are so frustrated already (add to it generations before them being taken an advantage of by patriarchy) - they not gonna give anything before you at least show your GOOD INTENTIONS, wiliness to communicate and “not giving up easily” mentality.

I’ve had several girlfriends myself and I see this same trend with friends and family as well. Women cheating, misbehaving, getting caught up in drama. Women can be extremely difficult and critical with men, often starting arguments and creating situations. They’re always nice at first, that’s how they reel you in, but show me a man who hasn’t been extremely hurt by a woman’s words. This is 100% the truth. This is how they weed out weak men. Women hate any type of weakness or inability to perform to their standards. There’s plenty of good men out there who will treat women really well but they don’t want that, they want everything a certain way to fit their individual preference. And things often start out great. If it’s a good thing why rock the boat? Yet I’ve seen women ruin a good thing so many times that it’s just sad. Then they’re on to the next thing. This is how these women rock around to age 40 with no man or no kids.

The pro's of staying single massively outweigh the cons for men now

[@geohawk6337]

Imagine marrying someone because you love them not because how much money they make.

[@NeoCynics]

Not hard to imagine when you are a man. It is the norm for the average dude out there.

[@pamponpan3376]

I have been rejected my entire life by all the men I ever loved. Now at thirties, after tons of self improvement, self betterment, improving my financial situation, self care, losing 15 kilograms of weight, being a great listener, and many more. I now stop putting any kind of energy into finding a man. Not anymore. So much with trying. There are millions other things to do. Men are impossible to understand and hard to please.

[@horatiudaraban2951]

I'm sorry to hear that. I was exactly the opposite. I'm a 34 years old man that just find out that I'm a narcisist. So, my relationships were all a big fail. I don't understand what is going on with you that you were rejected so much. I don't know how pretty you are, but being a good listener is a big YES from me. Everything is so fucking hard sometimes. I wish you the best :)

I thank my lucky stars everyday that I have my boyfriend in my life. We love and respect each other, and work together as a team to lift the other up. I see this sort of content all the time and am reminded how lucky I am.

[@erwina4738]

Same but with my girlfriend. Our relationship was completely organic. Started off as friends, then best friends, then why not try for more? We’ve been together now for 1.5 years and going good

[@pratzqwtyy]

Girl..... same omg. Stuff like this makes me sick and I constantly thank my stars

[@cendrizzi]

In my case a wife but I feel the same way. We met out our old workplace. Now we have kids and she's wonderful. We work at life together, and having a partner in life, as you go through high's and low's, is a wonderful thing. Western culture does at times feel like it's on a suicidal course. Women are being told they don't need men and there is zero encouragement towards motherhood any more. Men get almost no positive encouragement, and often appear to fill their time with porn and videogames, now being told that they should "go their own way" due to the asymmetries they perceive in marital law (which maybe very well be correct, but only further divides the sexes). A culture where men and women are so detached and confused simply has no future. I hope we can course correct, as being a husband and father is easily the most meaningful roles I've had in my life.

[@ravenzyblack]

@@cendrizzi- There’s also the factor that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Thus creating trauma for children and making it harder for them to get into relationships in the future. My parents have been married for over 50 years, but almost all their friends in the same age group have been divorced at least one time. Both of my older brothers married wives whose parents were divorced. They don’t value family the way my siblings? and I do. It’s sad really.

[@dad102]

Great, insightful dialogue.

[@jessicaa6845]

Very insightful, thank you!

[@generalsirc2615]

The truth about men who give up on dating or trying to find a girlfriend is that they are lonely. They just are. And people are more lonely than ever before these days. Relationships have become this power struggle between men and women. Where if you don’t make enough money your girl is upset, if you have to work too much to make 100,000 a year your girl is up set. If your not in shape your girl is upset. What happen to a partnership against the world? A man and women should be supportive and helpful to each other! Not competitive against each other. Yet that’s exactly how a lot of women treat relationships these days. And so men give up on those relationships, but men are still lonely, and lonely men can become dangerous and not as productive

This episode is like looking in a mirror. You guys remind me of each other so much (wife feels the same). Keep up the awesome work, love your content.

[@broccolipropaganda]

Have faith. Work on yourself. Be a good person. Love is possible. But not guaranteed.

[@NinaR478]

As I’m getting older I’m taking note on the men who act like true gentlemen. No pressure for anything sexual, they enjoy talking to me and hearing what I have to say, instead of trying to shut me up (no mansplaining, lol). Yes I want someone employed and working towards their financial goals. But by no means does that mean they need to be making 6 figures. Just be responsible, have integrity and be willing to be in partnership. Thankful that my dad taught me that even if a man doesn’t have all the money in the world, if he loves his family, he will provide. Same for the woman. As a unit you make it work.

[@ohkissme1]

In my last two relationships I dated boys who did not attend university and also that earned less with than me. I also owned a house and they both did not. The problem I found with both relationships was that both men had no passion to achieve more and no work ethic. I found that as a turn off as potential partner. I want children in future and I was continuing worrying about money when they didn’t care. Or when they would overspent when they did not have the money. When looking for a potential partner to have children with, this I found is a big issue. I have no issue dating someone who earns less. As long as he works hard. My issue comes where in the future I may have to stop work to have children. And my future partner cannot support me or our children whilst I am off from work, due to to lack motivation, laziness or not being financially unaware. This is where I know I’d worry even more about finances.

[@treacherousjslither6920]

If paid parental leave was available would this change your mind about not seeing ambitionless men as prospective partners?

[@jasonm7684]

Good job, this is fine and you will find the right guy. As long as your not dismissing guys based on income and education, if he is loyal, works and isn't totally terrible with money, it should work out. The problem is that a lot of women are still applying gender norms to men as having to be the provider, when most men are being out earned by women.

[@4651adri]

One of the few comments I read that actually made sense. I'm tired of men thinking building a family doesn't require solid foundations.

[@melmel7011]

​@@treacherousjslither6920who even wants an ambitionless somebody

[@KK-ch4qr]

So true. It’s not about the money, it’s about the work ethic. My friend married someone who was unemployed at the time but he was working so hard to find work (and he did). I feel for a lot of men nowadays though. There seems to be a lot of them who have given up.

[@Goodman849]

1. no solutions were identified. 2. many other reasons have been ignored here.

Go to the gym, get fit, build your career, gain more money, develop your skill, increase your education, work on your image, cultivate a status, and you too can get a woman that does NONE of this.

[@42NORRIS]

@RagingDamage. People in many countries especially the UK find American culture ubiquitous, some feel its invasive. That's just the way it is.

[@robsgonesailing]

if men were to also become highly selective and refuse to settle for any woman who is financially struggling, it could potentially shift the power dynamics and restore balance. Unfortunately men are often too desperate and willing to overlook financial stability and low morals in order to find a partner. No more burger king bitches 😂 Don't settle for anyone who found you at the finish line 🎉

[@NN-fz4pd]

It’s interesting what he’s said about women dating higher up, invisible men, tall girl problem etc. My experience has been different. I’m a girl, I’ve got a bachelors degree and I was with a guy who only had one year of college education. I’m 5’1 he was 5’7, he was good looking, so am I. I didn’t care about money even though that’s what culture tells me to care about. I wanted a real connection and a healthy relationship. Unfortunately, he was disrespectful and abusive (emotionally and physically) and even though I gave him 2.5 years and tried to help him change and demand that he change, he only changed like 1%. So I left.

[@coreywiley3981]

I know for me it isn't simple, but it is a complex confluence of factors. I always wanted love and to have a family, but I couldn't do it. To get into it is complex and personal. It does hurt; it is sad, at least for me it is. But some find peace with it. I haven't and never will, but I don't hold it against anyone. I see it as just the circumstance I fell into, and I do my best to make the best of things as they are. But I do have respect for people who are lonely and haven't been able to make things work. I empathize, and they should know they are not alone. It is a sad tragedy for many and a painful realization because it is so wired in us as humans to want love. I want to add that I do not support any type of hatred, sexism, or destructive mentality. I only want to express understanding and validation for loneliness, a loneliness that I share and can realate to.
