Yup. People want to believe a lot of these women that are not single are gay but the truth is I've met many women that are 'gay' or 'lgbt' that are just extraordinarily picky about men. They present masculine as a way to deter men. But if you're 7 foot tall suddenly their only hobbies are cooking and cleaning.

[@TheRahsoft]

you need to look in details into those stats because many women will say they are not single because they are dating( eg many of them are dating the same 5% man thinking he will marry them) or worse they think divorced does not mean single, whereas men will be realistic and consider nothing less than a wedding to mean a marriage.. men are not bothered about being single, but women are because the years of "i don't need a man " now has bad lifelong its all a game by various activists, media talking heads and feminist idealogues

[@anthonynelson4015]

I get why they would date the same men at 34% if those men don't want them and don't think that they are viable options either, it's weird and funny.

[@laidoffjournalist]

Honestly, at this point, women are overrated. Today, we know too much about how modern women operate. The most telling statistic is as follows: 'within the first three months to a year and a half, a woman will get bored, sexually, in a relationship, or marriage. Within the forth to the seventh year, she will be cheating, and/or planning her divorce. This pattern is like clockwork. The only thing that seems to disrupt this pattern is if a man can be lucky enough to marry a religious virgin from a traditional family. In the end, when it gets bad enough that the government desperately needs children to survive, then they will be forced to rush the development of fertilized-human eggs from skin cells, artificial wombs, and DNA CRISPr technology. If that were reality today, I'd already have 10 kids by now. But, I refuse to give my power, my wealth, and my future into the hands of a flaky-western woman. The danger is just too great!

I didn't get married until I was past 40 years old. It was like a job interview at some points. Women at that time thought if you hadn't been married or living with a woman by that time, its because you are a loser. But as you get older and the women you are looking for are older, women are much less choosy. So maybe it will get better for you. Women in their 20s and early 30s have lots of men chasing them.

With individual exceptions, women simply cannot function together. Let's be honest, there is huge job discrimination against men, as well as socially. You may have experienced first-hand women being unable to work together, and it carries over into being vicious with the men with whom they work. If you haven't seen it first-hand, there are any number of stories you can find. Or look up the story about an all-female company and how the women acted. I didn't use to believe this, but I believe the majority of at least younger women are mentally ill, and that phone in their hand activates and increases their illness. This is going to sound goofy until you think about it, but do you understand how different the world would be if women couldn't vote? BTW, I'm married to a great woman who is great in every way. But as a whole, women literally seem intent on destroying everything they can.

Most men aren't physically Sexy because due to mysogyne society they never had to just be stronger. Therfore there are more better looking women than men, therfore there is no incentive for women to date down unless you offer commitment - that's what most men never offer. Had 24.000 matches, the 1% conversion rate in sales is higher than in dating. Maybe 2.4 man that have a job, no kids and want to settle down out of 24.000. I'm so happy I'm engaged now and don't have to date men anymore.... Just horrible. Ah BTW he's 8 years younger, brought me roses on the first date (but still does), but he comes from a very old fashioned Muslim family - so he never pushed for SEX but was looking to marry. And he earns less money than me, is not highly educated, I earned 100k before my 30s in IT and I never bothered about pursuing an academic man because I knew they only date stupid trophy wife's. So I knew I always had to date down in money and education - for me was most important being treated respectfully, having good sex with one man exclusively from the beginning, not having to beg for commitment and me and him want to create a Family out of love and never wanna risk a divorce - We value loyalty

ironically enough if you're constantly just trying to please women, then you come off super unattractive. I'd always heard people say exactly what I just said, and never fully understood it until it happened to me. I was on a second date with this girl who I was honestly just giving a chance to, and she was very nice, absolute sweetheart of a gal, but not very attractive. on said second date, she stared into my soul and said "I really like you, you know that?" That burned it for me, but I finally had a reference point for what people meant when they said things like "you can't try too hard" "you have to be indifferent" "you have to be interested but not too interested." etc etc etc. You can't, and you'd shouldn't care much about what women think. that changes to some degree in a long term relationship, but only so much. You'll still lose it if you're just doing every single thing she wants you to do, you never speak your mind, or you never stand up for yourself, or you never disagree with her. All these things and your endless desire to please her makes her lose a lot of respect for you. No one wants someone around who is only trying to please them. its super needy and weird, regardless of romantic connection. its also not useful... if all someone is doing is validating your every move and word (even when you're wrong) then they only serve to inflate your ego when you're correct, not give you ideas about better options, plans of action etc.

Older men like 35-50, are considered gross and predatory if they date 18-25 years olds. This rarely happens and it isnt at all what the studies show. The studies actually show an *exponential increase in loneliness* for single men as the age goes above 35 (bear in mind that there are fewer single men in this agegroup tho, but for the ones who are still single it pretty much gets harder and harder with age to get casual sex, not to mention getting a girlfriend.

[@grey_f98]

I don't agree. Some women do share men, but it's such a minority case that it can't explain a 30 to 60% difference. I think the real reason for this disparity is because women date older, they date guys with security, high paying jobs and their own house, which isn't possible at 30. So a lot of 20 something women are with 30 something guys, and most 20 something guys have no one to date because women in their 30s don't want them either. They also can't be dating girls younger than them obviously (age of consent), which overall I think does a great job explaining why so many young men are single when young women aren't. Most of these guys are gonna reach their 30s and suddenly find an influx of women in their 20s wanting to be with them. The old school mindset that men are the providers plus the current state of the economy is to blame. Young people can't even afford a house and unlike women, men can't just marry into owning a nice house in the suburbs.

I like you channel Courtney, and i respect the work that goes into your videos. But I'm still a couple years away from being able to apply most of your advice, because most of your advice assumes that women are willing to have a conversation or date you to begin with.

The only people that say "AIN'T BEIN' SINGLE GREAT?!" are people that have problems with commitment or people that were hurt in the past and so they're overcompensating by putting on an act. Nearly any experience beats being single.

Hi I'm 44 from Ireland. Dated women and had on on off relationships. Marriage and family just isn't suitable for me but I don't have any regret. Yes women today are very discerning about their partners and future husband. Middle class women with a university degree and masters degree or PhD will not normally have a child first and then marry. Charles Murray in his book coming apart about the working class and middle class from 1960 to 2010 has noted this trend. Well done to women for their success and achievement it should have always been this way. But your average hard working guy doesn't appeal to most women today. But at the moment in Ireland a large number of Ukrainian women have arrived and qualities that are seen as unappealing to modern Western women seem to be important to these women. Many decent hard working blue collar men who are highly skilled and practical are finding these Ukrainian women more desirable and approachable than Irish and western European women.

You seem to have many bad experiences with girls/women. Many are true, but some part of it may also be emphasized through your negative reading of things. By having fewer experiences, having negative experiences and then being online much where things are shared about the bad things and negative reading are taking over, I can get that it's hard to see other things working. But I want to add, that it's not only as bad as you feel in your worst hours. This might be a fairly bad place to bring it up, but there are women stuck in sex trafficking and slavery. Their experiences with men must be very terrible. Yet, their experiences with men does not define all men. The same goes for yours and others bad experiences with women.

And when a woman is single how a days and expressing interest, it's always very subtle, rife with game playing and mixed signals and there's always an underlying feeling that you're competing with a bunch of other men (which is always the case but it shines through in their lack of complete interest and communication with you/I).

This is very true! I’ve noticed that women have become very transactional with dating. The biggest issue is difference in values. When no one sticks to their commitments then of course we’ll see divorce like we do now. The self centered mindset is king.

I've never chased after status or money and have always lived within my means. I knew that would be unattractive to women and made conscious effort to be okay with that. I moved on from women and have been single for at least 17 years. Now that the women my age are older, I am becoming more attractive to them. I've been asked out more in the last year than I have in my entire life. The problem is I have completely lost interest in women. The longer you remain single, the less appealing relationships become, your libido evaporates and then you simply begin to care about other things that don't involve women. I don't dislike women. I don't hate them. I'm just indifferent.

For me, a huge issue is "Where do I meet good women in real life?" Off dating apps, off social media? Especially as someone who doesn't go to clubs or parties, and isn't interested in the kind of woman that does. Post-college, there just aren't a lot of opportunities that aren't cold approaches. And from female friends and acquaintances I've talked to, single men are viewed with immediate wariness by women, and you should never approach a woman unless you know she wants it, which you don't know until after you approach. "Don't approach women you don't know," but there are precious few venues to actually meet new women.

Depending on the size of your city, find local events going on. For example, I play coed volleyball and have met solid women there. Expand your social circle as much as possible, and you’ll be invited to more and more things. Cold approach is a hit or miss, but can be effective once you get the hang of it. I’ve met solid women from doing it. It’s not the ideal method, but can be used in addition to other things. I meet lots of women on walks and at the grocery store

[@xgtete]

I gave up and stopped caring 7 years ago when I was 21 years old. I realised back then that dealing with women was just not worth the headache. Both in relationships and every day life. So much so, that not even sex interests me anymore. I don't interact with women at all when I can avoid it. Including at work, in public, or on the phone. If I have to interact with them, I say as few words as possible, keep it strictly about work or the topic at hand, and leave as quickly as possible. Life is just so much more peaceful this way. I don't have to listen to gossip I couldn't care less about. I don't have to deal with people flipping out because I don't want to celebrate my birthday or anyone else's birthday. I don't have to make sure anyone is okay with me playing video games, going fishing, reading, playing a chess tournament or participating in any of my hobbies. Neither do I have to make sure someone is okay with me just sitting around and relaxing. I don't have to deal with shit tests or mood swings. I don't have to try and meet the needs of someone that expects me to read their mind and just know everything they want, without them telling me. I can do what I want, when I want. But most importantly, I can do it in peace. I'm glad that more men are realising the same thing.

@@polpol1005 It's not sad in the slightest. I have found that cutting women out of my life as much as possible has only made my life better.

[@xgtete]

@@DestinyAwaits19 Society has scammed you. "Love" is nothing more than a chemical reaction in the brain that has no value in the modern day. In humanity's primitive years, we evolved to have this chemical reaction to bond with another person for our own gain. Be it to have children, protection, status, etc. It's not something worth chasing or even caring about. You need to get out of this mindset that "love" is worth something. You're born alone and you die alone and no amount of "love" will change that. As for you never having a girlfriend, you don't realise how lucky you are. My advice would be to stay that way and avoid relationships and women as much as possible. However, I know you won't take my advice, but one day you'll finally get a girlfriend and you'll regret every single second of it. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Trust me, life is more fun, peaceful, enjoyable, and overall better in every way without women in your life. So much so that millions of men are walking away from women and finding this out, and more and more men are walking away everyday. As for calling me a chicken shit, call me whatever you like. However, the only real chicken shit here is you, as you're clearly too scared of being alone. It's suckers like you that women look for so they can rob you of everything in family courts.

The problem is that both womens and men's standard have increased too much over the last decade, while a lack of social connections has also declined, meaning that the partner now has to be, a best friend, meet all sexual needs, therapist, and care giver and works a job that meets the other partners standards. This is compounded by social media saying that there is always someone else for you and your perfect the way you are. Being with someone who genuinely just cares about you should be enough, and if issues occur in a relationship then they should be worked on

To be frank: As a man in his 30s with a stable job and income (not super high but decent), with his own place, solid looks, who is fit and who wants to move forward in life with family and kids, there are not many great choices out there. Women today are way less feminine than they were even 10 or 15 years ago. You hardly ever see girls with skirts or dresses anymore, it's only wide leg or comfort jeans and sneakers. The message "be like a man", compete, career at any price and don't settle is hammered in by the media nowadays extremely hard, to the point where it becomes toxic. Also almost half of the female population is overweight or doesn't do any sports whatsoever (if you don't care, good for you, if you don't like that, good luck!). So the possibility finding someone who really fits is very low.

[@JugglernautNr9]

​@@scartissuefilms Last weekend i was going out with friends and we ended up in a big club with more than 1000 people aged from 21 to 50 and i did the math: Approximately half of the people are male, so that leaves us with 500 women. Of these 500 women a big percentage (let's say 30%) are personally either too young (below 25) or too old (over 35), so that leaves us with 350 women. From these 350 women half of them are clearly overweight or smoke (i really don't like that), that leaves us with 175 women. From these 175 women maybe a third have a boyfriend (not uncommon in clubs), that leaves us with approx 120 women. From these 120 women only a very small number share similar values or life goals, i would say maybe 30%, that leaves us with 40 women. From these 40 women only a handful do vibe with me or think that i am attractive. At the end, in a club with around 1000 people maybe 5 to 10 women would be a good match (that's around 1%). Now how are the chances to really meet these few women and connect with them in a crowded club with more than 1000 guests and several floors throughout the whole night with constant coming and going.

[@UGABulldog1234]

That's so true. Women in casual and/or dating settings don't look like they're trying in the slightest (for example, I had a first date recently where the girl's outfit was a baggy unfitting sweatshirt and ripped jeans, with her hair in a messy bun). It's probably because they're validated at every step of life and their ego is so inflated that doing the bare minimum is sufficient. Granted there are simps out there that enable such behavior, but even if they stopped I doubt that would change much since women are now so used to life handing everything over on a silver platter. Men now have to work 20x harder to find a women 10x less desirable than a woman in the 1940s/50s.

[@ryannishikawa1356]

Most of my personal experiences tend to defy these trends. Most of my closest female friendships are with women who are either socially conservative or have extremely low self-esteem; this means they prioritize long-term relationships, tend to latch unto the first man willing to commit, and stay with him despite feeling unhappy, being dissatisfied or having compatibility issues. They quickly view them as family and stick with them the same way one might tolerate a toxic parent/cousin/etc. However, this year I tried to venture out of my little bubble to try and meet new people; it was a culture shock that left me feeling very disheartened. I struggle to relate to my peers and I don't like that; however, I also don't want to engage with their practices either. I'm blessed to have very close friendships but anything beyond that is a world beyond the limits of my patience. I identify as very socially progressive but I also identify with the struggles of modern men; this disconnect is very isolating and it's hard to connect with others. Socially progressive circles tend to avoid these conversations, so despite my values aligning with theirs, I just can't connect with them.

I recently hit 35 and I have been single for the last 3 years or so, never officially married but had long and 'committed' relationships, the longest being 4 years, sharing apartment and basically being spouses. The truth is while for those in their 20's it is hard to get their first relationships due to the reasons mentioned in the video, it is also even harder after one has gotten that experience(s), but they didn't work out. Those who did 'succeed' and got back to being single after, have got a nice background of constant whines, accusations, dishonesty, lack of trust, jealousy and zero commitment on the other end. What you would also get would be CONSTANTLY growing demands and expectations that would feed their 'frustrations'. So bad news folks, those 'unrealeastic expectations' do not end once women have finally got their boyfriends who would meet their 'high standards'. It is a never-ending, and everlastingly evolving thing. Certainly not saying all women are like that, but who cares? The reality is when you a) have your own bad experience b) are surrounded by similar or even more adverse examples, you cannot help but overgeneralizing women. And give up on them, essentially.

But until then I'll just chill when it comes to "dating" (I hate that word...), work on myself, do what I love, find a good job for me and experience life at its fullest, without the relationship part. Someday, I'm sure of it, I will find the correct one. But this time has not come yet and I've grown tired of being frustrated. I will not let this shit get to me anymore. I'll do it my way.

I'll chime in from a male POV. I'm of the generation that came of age right before the rise of social media - high school class of 2000 - so all my formative experiences of asking out the girls in school I had crushes on with butterflies in my stomach, learning to cope with rejection and the whole gamut of wrapping my mind around the [birds and the bees] took place in a world before smart phones, before dating apps, before youtube, Facebook or any of these addictive digital drugs existed. I had tremendous anxiety and confusion about dating back then, but gosh, if I could open a spacetime portal and have a conversation with my former self 20 years ago, I'd smack 21-year-old me in the face and say, “Dude, listen closely. You need to stop whining, get over your bull@#$% insecurities right the %&@$ now and pour your heart out to so-and-so today, make your mistakes, learn, get your love-life in order before the future comes, because the dating scene of the future is a horror-show, and that future is speeding toward us like a freight train. If you think it's intimidating to approach the lady who sparks your eye on the other end of the room, imagine trying to navigate that in a future where everyone's looking down at this magic device in their hands like zombies everywhere you go, only looking up to take a picture of themselves to broadcast to people whom they won't see in person any time soon so they can predicate their self-esteem on some superficial stat of how many people clicked a digital heart icon responding to that image with instant gratification, where a common livelihood is making videos alone in one's bedroom and selling them to strangers abroad whose surplus of disposable income is surpassed only by their thirst for an illusion of companionship to numb their spiritual emptiness. If you think flirting with women is scary and confusing in 2003, JUST YOU WAIT.” I can't begin to articulate how lucky I was to come up in the analog age, how angry at myself I am for not making it a more urgent priority to conquer my dating roadblocks back in that golden age, and how profoundly lost, frustrated and confused I feel trying to connect in this toxic culture.

Not to mention some of those loser men will spend half of their life savings for explicit pictures or videos of women they will never have a shot of sleeping with on Onlyfans.

I really gave it a good try, but then I realized that although I do get bouts of loneliness from time to time, I am much happier overall not having to explain or justify my lifestyle to anyone. I try to do what makes me happy, and that's really just going to Mass more often than I did previously, watch my favorite sports, catch a movie every now and again, spend time outdoors, and take the occasional roadtrip to places like Las Vegas, NV and/or Phoenix, AZ. I don't do crazy stupid things wherever I happen to visit either. I'm a low key man, so I tend to keep my adventures low key as well.
