[@BuryMeInBabylon]

The fact that we can even ask the question “why are men done dating” should scare everyone. Men are supposed to be Gung ho about dating and attracting women. Women have made themselves so repulsive that men are now uninterested is terrifying.

[@marcmays48]

Feminism has kicked into high gear at precisely the WORST possible time. For most men, porn is a viable short-term alternative, and most men have concluded that the benefits of being in a relationship with a woman are greatly exceeded by the costs.

[@jaysibiri]

@@marcmays48 porn isn’t a viable solution. Just find a good woman with similar values as you, not too much mileage and a job. It seems like there aren’t good women out there. They exist, just not on social media. Social media makes them all look bad.

[@abogado84]

I think it’s a mixture of the rude/demanding/entitled personalities exacerbated by social media and what society has evolved into, the obesity epidemic (not to fat shame but it does kill attraction - and this affects both genders too), the rise in single motherhood and all the baggage that brings, and high body counts to the point that many men are so turned off.

[@marcmays48]

@@jaysibiri That's funny-- I am not on any social media (unless you count KZbin). Even assuming that you can find a woman with similar values, a low body count, and who is gainfully employed, that's no guarantee of anything. Marriage has become like an unholy combination of an at-will employment agreement, and a personal warranty that the woman will remain happy, for what-- the next 30, 40... or even 80 years? Too often, women have given up on Mr. Right... and only want Mr. Right Now. Marriage has become a set of cash and prizes women win when they divorce men, on the way to "something bigger and better." That's a foolish proposition when women have repeatedly shown that they're neither accountable, nor responsible, nor reasonable, all too often. If dating and attracting women were a temporary pain which men had to endure on the way to winning the grand prize of marrying a woman, that would be one thing. Yet, since 50% of marriages fail, and women file for divorce 80% of the time, it's the men who desperately need the protection. Too bad the family courts have been slanted by the feminists, and severely punish men who are dumb enough to get married.

To all young, single men - Think very, very, very hard about your choices in your romantic lives ahead. Do not ignore red flags, no matter how insignificant. Trust your instincts. Never, EVER settle. If you have family members pressuring you to settle down and start producing offspring, ignore them. Love yourself before you love someone else. And for god's sake, do NOT have children with someone you aren't 10000% sure is a decent human being. Stay out there. Stay available. Be selfish. Be critical. Your happiness comes first.

A 9 month relationship ended and I said that's enough for me. That was when I was 23, and I'll be 49 in a few week. 90% of women aren't worthy of a McDonalds Happy Meal.

[@Jake12220]

If you're walking on eggshells to avoid offending them then that's half your problem. Be blunt and be honest, a lot of girls won't like it, but they will respect it and once they accept it your going to have way less issues in the future. At 49 you're still at an age where you could get a lot of girls, certainly your options at that age are now far better than women in that age group. The balance of power in relationships moves heavily to the males favour towards the late 30's. It's sad, but young guys are at a huge disadvantage in relationships, but older women (especially post 50) have it even worse than young men.

And you're not spending your lives together, just the second half of it. It's not love and isn't even transactional at that point.

Silence is golden, the less said the better in philosophy, with police, bureaucrats, on a navy ship at war, in poker, in chess, in cheap car sales man talk, and for women wanting to "seduce" or enchant. Noise and endless chatter distract a man from focus and trying to savor a woman like a fine wine for your beauty and personal enchantment. Talk, talk, talk, men are just tired of all the barista style talk combined with the mean girl theatrics and drama that seem to erupt behind the lava of endless chatter. Cleopatra did quite well with a more subtle charm, a calming relaxed vibe instead of the endless cream puff drama and sordid personalities that have developed from women mimicking the crude antics and low level talk of the demented tattoed on their brains celebrities aka high end pyschotics, capuchin monkies with mascara masks on stage thinking they are Cleopatra. Less is more, and silence is golden. Contemplate that for any lady interested, raise the quality and character of your talk, learn the quiet art of seduction, the cuteness and eye roll encantment factor of puppies, and then romance and true harmony can develop between men and women, a meeting of the minds and lips on a higher plane with only the sounds of birds making noise as palm trees caress the wind.

@@Tiogar60 I suggest you consider some harsh but realistic statistics. Over 48 percent of marriages end in divorce and 80 percent of divorces are initiated by women. Do you believe that men are responsible for 80 percent of divorces? In today's dollars, it will cost an average of $200,000 to raise a child to the age of eighteen. This doesn't include the cost of post high school job training or college. Given I work as a financial analyst and statistical analyst for a federal financial institution regulator I assure you these statements are reasonable. Young men and women face far greater challenges establishing themselves than was the case in my generation, given outsourcing of well paying blue collar jobs to low wage areas of the world, sharp reductions in state and federal subsidies for tuition-leading to a four fold increase in the cost of a bachelor's degree (adjusted for inflation), and a decline in the average per Capita yearly earnings (adjusted for inflation) over the past forty years for at least half of working people. Do not for a minute believe that I believe in traditional gender relations or that I am sexist. I was a teenager when women were still denied access to credit and faced challenges attempting to enter previously male dominated fields. This approach represents an irrational waste of intellectual resources. Indeed, during the 2020 presidential campaign, I contributed substantially to the Elizabeth Warren campaign. However, in a world where women expect-equality they have no right or reason to expect a traditional approach to dating. Please consider the posts from this young woman, advising men how they should project themselves or how to recognize subtle signs of interest from women.Why should men have to conform to any particular image or make the first approach? Why should men have to pay for dates? Why should men have to spend an average of three to four months salary on an engagement ring?

I'm talking about a long term relationship (even if it was a healthy relationship) she can never fully get over, abuse, sexual abuse, or emotional attachments to ex partners. Whatever it is, 90% of women at this age, if they are single, they have in some way been through something that has harmed her ability to handle a long-term relationship.

Not to mention the single girls that have never had a ltr because they were too busy wracking up bodies.

Talk, talk, talk, men are just tired of all the barista style talk combined with the mean girl theatrics and drama that seem to erupt behind the lava of endless chatter. Cleopatra did quite well with a more subtle charm, a calming relaxed vibe instead of the endless cream puff drama and sordid personalities that have developed from women mimicking the crude antics and low level talk of the demented tattoed on their brains celebrities aka high end pyschotics, capuchin monkies with mascara masks on stage thinking they are Cleopatra. Less is more, and silence is golden. Contemplate that for any lady interested, raise the quality and character of your talk, learn the quiet art of seduction, the cuteness and eye roll encantment factor of puppies, and then romance and true harmony can develop between men and women, a meeting of the minds and lips on a higher plane with only the sounds of birds making noise as palm trees caress the wind.

If you are a man and you are reading this here is my advice to you: don't listen to women giving dating advice. If any of the women giving dating advice had to date other women as an average man they would end up with serious depression and anxiety after a month. If you want to improve your situation look at what other men who already have what you want are doing, and do the same. If you can, try to become friends with a few men like that, that way it will be easier to observe and adapt to a similar lifestyle (if you want a wife and family try to become friends with young guys who are married with kids or at least in stable relationships, and watch how they behave, how they look, and their lifestyle). Don't listen to male gurus on the internet who make a living telling other men how to get women. And especially don't listen to women, they can't tell you how to be a successful man.

One simple suggestion fellas: Dont waste your time. Its not worth it. You would not believe the number of cheating women there are these days. Yes, men do it too, but these days it seems to be happening on the female side of the aisle far more. I’ve literally lost count on the number of guys I’ve worked with that have gotten married, been cheated on, and then lost half their shit (income, house, car, and even their PENSION) to some bitch that was looking for a good time. Until we rid our culture of feminism and us men stop treating women as objects (aka, stop watching porn), and we start getting rid of “hookup” apps/culture (looking at you Tinder), “dating” is only guaranteed to get worse.

Honestly as odd as it sounds, while I won't accept rude and disrespectful, I do wish my wife attempted to hold me a little more accountable than she does, be a little more confrontational.

part of me wonders if those women are more disagreeable than their men, which men are typically on average more disagreeable than their men. like if you get an agreeable guy with a disagreeable girl that guy needs to learn to hold his own. and we need to teach men how to handle distrespect and have boundries like that. like one way my agreeable freaind learned to do with his wife was if she got nasty to say "would you like to say that better?" or for me, if i feel disrespected ive told them if they act like that regularrly i will just leave but i also have to add that i will always listen to them. you dont say this upfront, you express this the first time they get nasty or bitchy to you. it eventually happens. and if you set the tone their right, it helps. at same time their can be things you screw up that can send a girl into a sort of amygdla hijack and they freak out, thats a little different, you got to let them vent and listen, but the "can you say that better" or "i'll listen, but be more respectful" helps. then you need to figrue out how to fix that issue to get back to normal.

[@michaeldavid6832]

RE: 4 Back in the day, marriage just happened as a natural consequence of early adulthood. Dating was always intended to be a short stint before a marriage. It wasn't this current sophisticated gauntlet of BS a man has to perform to suit the momentary tastes of a hedonist who thinks dating is merely recreation until they spend their youth away and then decide they want someone to pick up the tab as they enter steep decline. They don't even see marriage as something a younger person is supposed to aspire to. That being the case, the men most capable of supporting a family can no longer see dating as an option -- because becoming the best version of yourself and outcompeting yourself on a day-to-day basis requires time and thought investments which dating in the modern style would destroy. I know this personally because my married or dating competitors in my field don't hold a candle to my knowledge and experience. Not only do I learn more than them, I've learned how to learn more efficiently. I acquire knowledge much faster, more completely, and I integrate it with other knowledge more effectively. I also adapt to non-deterministic problems faster. Being truly ambitious means that you don't allow anything to get in they way of your life goals -- least of all investing gargantuan amounts of time for some outcome which is, at best, a huge cost in time and money. My friends who valued whammen more than a career fell behind very fast -- back in my late 20s. One of them was a legit narcissist. He was spending all his free time getting dates -- successfully. He liked to fancy himself intelligent and we often debated -- but by the time we were late 20s, there was nothing worth discussing that he could win with me -- I had read more and done more in all fields than he had. Heck, the one LTR I ever had was longer than any he ever had so even at that, I had more experience. Now in my most productive years, I can't even find peers that can match me. Recently, there's a guy at my company I respected as a coder initially -- and he's good... but he takes shortcuts which are obviously amateur choices. Choices that would've gotten me reprimanded in other jobs I had over the years. Choices which other coders have to go behind and clean up because he can't be bothered. Choices which mark a coder as a totally self-destructive to a company because nobody else can easily decipher (maintain) what they've written. This coder has made himself a single point of failure for the entire organization because his actions obfuscate his work product -- code. And so, yet another person I'd like to respect loses most of that respect. Others believe he's a genius because they aren't smart enough to fully understand what he's doing and he cultivates that aloof genius personality. I've worked at several places over the years and very few people have earned my respect in my domain. Invariably, the ones who are dating a lot or married can't hold a candle to me. Not unless their marriage is on the rocks and they're a workaholic who seems to have lost the will to live. Either that, or the rare man who met a woman early in his life who actually contributed to his life instead of being a net time-sink and/or money-pit.

I started working on myself and writing about it. Something I've never done. I got some great experiences... If I asked her on a date then I was having fun in the first place... and if the date goes well it means I was having fun. As long as your having the best time in the room she'll be there. And that's where it ends. Girls are attracted to the quality of your lifestyle, fun level, and social grace which goes hand in hand w status and agreeableness. The projection of your future. Dating requires money, time, and skills and unless you have your ducks in a row there's going to be more interpersonal stress. As you say the juice isn't worth the squeeze-unless your set. When you are set you can pick and choose rather than commit most of your time to maintenance. That's what settling is. I feel really sorry for guys who've developed somatic anxieties in social or interpersonal settings. They are screwed. Their voice, posture, emotions will feedback off of women in socially painful to watch ways, which will just snowball for them internally. Women find them creepy even when they're just not socialized well but otherwise normal. The focus of their perceptions are being overridden by anxieties of the Sympathetic Nervous System from past experiences that conditioned their survival instincts in social settings. Like I said your vibes feedback to women and they are like CPUs. Input data goes in and output data (behavior) comes out. This sets off a girls Enteric Nervous System (vibes) and her Sympathetic NS feeding back bad vibes and it's the guys fault. He's supposed to be a rock. He'll cement deeper anxiety with women after these experiences. I think that's one potential source of gender inequality in the workplace. Guys don't get creeped out by other dudes much and if 1 in 7 men are regularly selected by women then the other 6 are going to socialize elsewhere. I guarantee many of the others aren't making social headway with women but they can engineer, or do something else well. Some are conditioned with anxiety, and others know that women are attracted to power-like when your 20 and the girls you went with are in love w the bouncer, But then your inside and their in love with the bartender, then she's in love with the owner even tho she said 40 yr olds are unattractive and old.. its really environmentally subjective. So that def affects male hiring processes if they have a sexual mindset. To avoid settling be like a bird. Males show the attractive colours of their feathers w a dance. Hold onto your passions that build feelings of fulfillment which permeate other areas of your life and make you behave in alluring ways. Women pick up on those vibes through subtle cues like posture, tone, eye expression, acuity, etc. And if the girl your with tells you to forfeit your fav hobby then your settling. You'll lose your passions, social life, to ultimately drink herbal tea at 730PM before falling asleep to Grey's Anatomy. 🤮

Smart phones are portable computers that easily distract people, porn is such an easy resort for short term gratification, and this is coming from someone who has abused all those things. It’s also just the time we live in, there are no real values anymore, people are expected to spend or make an unrealistic amount of money, marriages aren’t based on love, it’s just a benefactor for financial needs, and showing off your trophy to the family. The internet is a major major downfall in modern dating, expectations are all over the place, and sensitivity, depression, social anxiety are at an all time high. There’s no sympathy left, and celebrity culture has infested the population, especially in Southern California. People can’t settle for the little things in life, and have to materialize people, treat them like accessories, etc. nothings wrong with being picky, but god damn, it’s so hard to find a good quality woman without being put on a pedestal.

Worked as a family law attorney for a minute and my take is that there are structural incentives within the legal system for women to find the next thing when things get tough in a marriage (and things get tough in every relationship). There is also societal pressure for women to ditch men. It's a rare woman who will go through the hard times, so the question is really: is the juice of a relationship worth the squeeze. Increasingly, it isn't. So you either take our current hookup culture for what it is or you do your own thing.

[@RusselBode]

Thank you for sharing, unfortunately the majority of women don't care about the injustices done to men as long as women overall benefit from the extra privileges. The hive mind set is distorted, corrupted by the Jezebel spirit.

One of my goals in life is to never be in a family court, except maybe as an observer. At least with non-family courts in the Western world, there is usually some adherence to the rules of evidence, legislation, the Constitution (or similar document), and general fairness. In family courts, accusations are generally regarded as facts, feelings are considered facts (e.g. "I am scared of him"), and there is no concept of fairness. Family courts just seem to be a quasi-official way to transfer assets from men to women and take men's children away from them.

[@goodee4451]

@@RusselBode thats is correct. heres the interesting thing, if women really wanted equality, why are they protesting in the streets on behalf of men about teh unfair was in which men are treated by the judiciary.or how about the workplace injustices. one innocent oh you look nice can destroy your career. like you said women really dont care about men at all. women are worth my time in any way beyond sex. i really dont care abour em anymore

[@cuinncollins875]

Wow....Common Consensus here. Done with dating at 30 years old myself. Married and Divorced at 27. Went on a bender because I was caked up. Over 3 years, the 15 women I slept with ALL had Bf's. One of them pulled up to my apartment with a car loaded with Christmas gifts for her current Bf even though we were fooling around for 4 months....then I slowed down and realized the shifting Paradigm as an adult male.

[@cuinncollins875]

@Elenore....all I'm saying is my own personal experience. I wanted to get across that if someone like me slept with 15 women who all have boyfriends. Each and everyone one of them. I wrote what I wrote so it doesn't happen to the next guy. Mainly its my fault, I didn't ask questions. That one women was basically going around collecting material possessions, having boyfriend after boyfriend help her bottom line while I was just sleeping with her. She's not the only women I saw attempting to whore herself out.

[@Jibbzz]

The main issue I find is that it's always been me putting in 100% and them putting in like...7%. I don't have the time to do that anymore between work, classes, excercise, friends, and making sure I don't want to eat lead. I'm done for now even though I'm a little lonely. Not to mention being crushed by an abusive narcissist for 6 years fucked me up. Better to be alone than a with a sadistic confidence vampire.

[@ShiniGorky187]

These days getting ghosted and flaked on is the norm. I'm so used to it I expect it to happen. Nothing surprises me. I've had amazing dates that she ghosted me afterward without texting or saying a single word, and had terrible dates where she wanted to see me again. I often wonder how we all got here in the first place if dating is like this.

There is a double standard that when relationships don’t work out, it’s the man’s fault. If women are terrible it’s because men haven’t upheld their responsibility to keep women from being terrible. She cheats, then she wasn’t getting the right things from you. It’s always the man’s fault according pop culture. This made some sense when society had real standards for women in relationships but now they can just ditch a relationship anytime for any reason, and in marriages they get to keep the guys cash flow, sometimes house, etc. And yet women are still claiming victim hood in America.

[@McJorneil]

More people need to learn that the message being sent by social media and pop culture is a work of fiction. It's like being told the tooth fairy exists and they want to believe it no matter what. They'd rather offer simple answers and slogans for idiots to get behind and chant than offer real solutions that are actually constructive, though less convenient. Stop believing in the pop culture fairy, people!!! lol

[@Lessk69]

Women are cheating like it's the new trend these days. And the media still tries to push this narrative that men are all bad, men are fooling around and cheating, men are deceitful, etc. When the statistics prove that at least 50% of women in long term relationships are cheating. 80% of divorces are filed by women. "Where have all the loyal men gone?" They were the ones you were cheating on and now you're alone.

I'm 30. I have developed serious anxiety and I honestly think i'm depressed but I'm not even sure anymore, I just take it day by day. The amount of rejection I've had to deal with from women in my life is astronomical, it has honestly left be scarred for life. Listen, this isn't going to be a sob story but please if you're a woman just listen. I moved from Europe to America to persue a different degree and I can honestly say, American woman are IMPOSSIBLE to satisfy. They reject you in a heartbeat and especially if you're foreign (I'm from Norway). I've been on dates, i've had experiences and I don't feel like I have missed out on anything important except having a serious relationship. I've been single my entire life, and part of that is because of me. I've always put my education, my work and my interest before anything else. But at the end of the day, the amount of work, patience, money and competition it goes into getting a woman to show interest in you is honestly exhausting. I'm so unbelievably fucking exhasted from the modern woman that I feel like just giving up. No matter how hard I try, or don't try, it's the same result. I keep getting rejected, ignored and friendzoned that there's literally nothing left for me to do. And as I mentioned, American women especially make it so much harder than it should be. I honestly just don't understand what goes on inside a womans head when they have lines of guys constantly stimulating them to feel good and worthy and they reject all of them. I have gotten anxiety from getting ignored, rejected and friendzoned. The behavior is really damaging.

Because a woman can go on her phone and have sex with a chad at any time she wants. Sex with the hottest, richest etc men is readily available and accessible for all women. So when women have sex with these guys, they think that’s the quality of man they deserve and refuse to settle for less.

The thing that always bugged me was not knowing if some of the dates I went out with were there just for the hell of it to get out of the house for a bit and get a free meal. It's pretty rare to find dates that are legitimately excited to be with you. Most are at best on the fence and only become more attracted to you after spending time together when she can see you're fun to hang out with.

[@terrywood8499]

I’m a 62 year old man who is fit and dating is brutal for me as well. Here are some tips that I have learned over the years. If you are not willing to constantly work on a relationship maybe you shouldn’t be in one. In order to stay fit you have to constantly go to the gym and the same is true for a relationship. You have to continually work on it to keep it fit! If you are texting someone and they answer your questions but never ask questions after about 4 times of this move on she isn’t interested. Move on after a week if they never want to meet. If they break a date with you more than twice and/or ghost you move on. Courtney has given some good advice on this! If all of their pictures are selfies where they are looking up at the camera in most cases they are overweight. Go do things where the women are. For instance take a cooking or dance class. This gets you face to face with people and when you find the one you are a better cook and dancer! Win win! On a first date make it simple and pick a place that isn’t noisy.
