The women also adopt, they still won't go for the bottom 50% but now they too play around with the top 10% or so. I think a lot of us dudes we eventually become the problem too.

[@TangiblesTracker]

It's purely about looks. In the full interview, Scott ignores this and abstracts this with the phrase "online attractiveness" which he attributes to wealth, location, and other factors. He's completely wrong, it is down to genetic/physical attractiveness and that's it. This is old news to everyone else. Make a profile on any dating site for a 5'5 South Indian millionaire doctor who loves kids & puppies who also does charity work vs. a white 6'1 male model who is broke. The results and responses, or lack thereof, are so predictable that it is not even funny. It's not complicated.

[@jonstewartsuperfan2988]

Its the same with women - the unattractive ugly girl doesnt get the attention the gorgeous girl gets - same thing

Agreed 100%. Just ignore females punish them by refusing them attention and validation while you work on yourself. That's the secret.

[@Jorbz150]

It's shocking how few people are aware of this. They've done studies since the 60s showing that people pick dating partners based almost entirely on physical appearance. Attractive people are always chosen more than unattractive people, regardless of any non-physical traits. Frankly, there are probably some cases where plastic surgery might help. But that's just too sad for most people to accept, so they tell people it couldn't be an issue of appearance.

[@wittysass3812]

While this to some degree is true I think the online dating world has exacerbated the problem significantly because all you see essentially is a profile pic, all the other nuance, potential chemistry, even scent (he was right about that) are completely swiped away

[@gordongekko2781]

This is so true! You don't even need to make the differences that wide, because modern women reject any man who's not a certified Chad. My personal experience: I'm 6'3", average build, 7/10 overall looks, high IQ, and independently wealthy. Yet, I haven't had a girlfriend in several years. I have to conclude that if I had six-pack abs and a chiseled jawline, then my inbox would be blowing up. I do get occasional 'likes' on dating apps, but I don't actually match very often because the women that swipe right on me are mostly 3's and 4's. If women were willing to judge themselves objectively and give guys at their own level a chance, then none of us would be single. But, they only swipe right on men that are out of their league. And, yeah, it's 100% based on looks.

[@Regemony]

So many times I've heard women express their unsafety/anxiety when approached even in such an innocuous situation as waiting in a line for a coffee so why would I exacerbate that by expressing interest. Asking someone out isn't worth making someone else feel worried or unsafe.

I was telling my buddy I said “Man I miss dating in the 90’s and early 2000’s when you could approach a woman and actually have a conversation with her.

When we split up 3 years ago I knew he would be ‘snapped up’ and so he was!

Whilst I can't fault these solutions. My main gripe here is this: Once again it is men who are being told "hey you need to shape up" which as a core message I'm fine with, we can all better ourselves. But nobody seems to be saying to women, "you are delusional, you have been granted equality which is great, but you now need to temper your expectations." Mathematically it is IMPOSSIBLE for women to date horizontally and up to the degree they are willing to accept whilst at the same time having equality of opportunity. To that end, no matter how much a man upskills himself, he is still more likely to miss than hit. The other thing to point out is, the most successful man is still less successful than the least successful woman when it comes to matches on dating apps. Again, we need to point out to women that they are the ones who need to adjust expectations. It might be easy to say "men need to get it together" but as men are the ones overwhelmingly checking out of the dating market and are actively saying that women are too much hassle to deal with, it isn't men who will be disappointed. They are already disappointed, it is now women who now have everything to lose, and that bioclock is catching more of them out. 50% don't have children before 30, of that 50% over 30, only 50% of that number have children at all and once that ship sales they're done.

We have similar levels of education, similar incomes, and while we each tend to say that the other is the more attractive one, in reality I think we're about equal. And we met on a dating site (although I don't think that they work for most people, we got lucky). I've met a ton of men and women who are also very similar in those aspects to their partner. I work in healthcare so I don't know whether being in this field influences it, but it is absolutely not impossible. Some of them met at work.

I used to ask everyone I wanted to get to know out for coffee- potential friends, romantic interests, business connections, ect. Because it was the least threatening place to simply converse with someone, and get to know them. Then people started getting weird about it. Like ask a lot of girls especially to anything, it’s immediately interpreted as a booty call or a date of some kind, and suddenly they become really suspicious of you. Coffee outings included. I think boys AND girls both can work on becoming better at being friends first. At giving up the idea that there is any prescripted method and approach for how to fall in love. That not everything social with each other has to be a date. And that if people do want to date each other, they should start making a point to be entirely un-ambiguous about their intentions with each other- just talk things out when clarity is needed, and trust that people are adult enough to work things out. I think more people should work on taking their time to get to know each other, and work out whether they really want to date someone or just be friends before they go on any official dates. And finally, I think the idea of “friend zone” needs to die. Because it is transactional in a setting where people are seeking deeper interactions. And it undervalues quality friendship as much as it does true love.

Don’t approach women at work, gym or anywhere you want/need to frequent regularly. Only basic greetings and work related conversations with women at work.

[@mentoriii3475]

Work yes but at gym is very easy to make conversation with women

[@Riekriek]

I wanted to add something which should be mentioned in more videos, the fact that a lot of people on apps do not even want to meet for a coffee. As soon as just having a coffee is mentioned its like something clicks and they totally change. I have tried apps though often i have felt that others have just put a text on their profile that doesnt really reflect them. This isnt judgement and I do not judge people by image age background or what ever. My point is the friendship part, the having a good mate part of a relationship is really the key of it all.

[@RandaWise]

I don't understand why young women have to be the guardrails for men in their peer group. We've struggled enough, the odds against us, the deck is stacked against women. If young ladies can hustle to get their degrees, that job, that house and that nice car, what in the eff is wrong with the men? I thought they were stronger than women? I thought they said we were unequal in favor of men? This all sounds like bull. These dudes need to be accountable for self. Get outta your momma's house and get your survivors game on.

Dating apps are for chickens. Man or woman up , go to concerts, bars. Get the hell out of the house talk to some people. So what if you get rejected, keep moving

[@vladimirofsvalbard9477]

I don't really think it's about rejection. I met tons of rejection before I got married. The problem is that a majority of women under 30 don't even have marriage or long term relationships on their menu. I think it's because we're producing a ton of avoidant attachment personalities; maybe something to do with parental neglect? I'm not sure how old you are, but it doesn't work anymore and I'm glad that I was born when I was. There's truly something wrong with the dating game. The distributions will self-correct of course, because those that aren't smart enough or 'man enough' to reproduce with a viable woman will not continue their lineage. Those that impregnate women with no responsibility have extremely short lineages regardless.

[@carolgonsoulin]

Right! Had this discussion with my 26 year old son today. I am his 62 year old mom. Got to be okay with rejection (we all do). It’s a numbers game; the m😅re you ask the greater chance you have of getting a “yes”. And don’t rely 100 percent on physical attraction. Get to kn😅w the person. Trust me on this as an older wiser mom.

[@vladimirofsvalbard9477]

@@carolgonsoulin Well, times have changed. With the internet, everybodies standards have increased; so a woman is not likely to say yes in person regardless. If you only ask people out in person, you're setting yourself up for a loss, because those people are willing to use online dating most of the time. I mean, if you want to do is solely for social rep I would understand, but if you're in your late 20s you're just wasting your time. If they're 18-25, they're probably focusing on school. Thirty plus and single typically implies problems. Making it increasingly difficult and pointless to use all your efforts in person. If anything your more likely to be reported for harassment. I wish things were as simple as they used to be; it's just a different world. You can ask out 100 women and it won't matter. Those that are interested in dating are already using dating apps. Believe me, they will say no regardless of who you are or what you say.

[@carolgonsoulin]

@ I know dating apps are the most common way. I was widowed in 2006 and used dating apps for a few years and got some dates but it made me feel awful at the same time because I knew it was so surface oriented. I, like the guys, based my decision to “like” someone based firstly on physical traits and appearance. I was not a gorgeous woman so I felt sad that the men could not see my sense of humor, my kindness, my everything just based on a profile and I am not a marketing whiz to sell myself or present a highly curated version of myself. Eventually I stopped using the dating apps and concentrated on other interests in my life. I realized that you cannot shop of a mate. There’s no picking one off the shelf like a grocery store transaction. Do 15 years later I met someone who had something in common with me through Facebook of all things when I was not looking. It seemed like a miracle. I agree with Scott Galloway to use as many avenues as you can to be visible/available for that miraculous opportunity to connect. Take dance lessons and ask ladies to dance. Be present in social situations where people are poised to be social and approachable. Yes, its not like the old days but certain things stay the same. Good luck! My prayers are for all you great guys to meet great gals! ❤️

I am 45. By and large single and sexless. Now it's not that I am unattractive, I hear from people often that "Hey so and so really likes you." My bills are paid and I work out hard everyday. Sonits not lack of opportunity, it's thar women are combative all the time. I don't want to spend time and money someone that blames me for all the world's problems and calls me toxic. Call me weird but that dose not sound like someone who spend the next 40 years with. Also women are fat, now I am not saying they put on a few pound over the holidays, go out to meet people and everyone is 30 40 60 pounds overweight, it's gross. Also what if me and partner buy a house or have kids and things go sour? Who has to get out and pay alimony and get second job just to see kids every other weekend? Me I would be out in the cold not her. Women love to ruin a man's reputation as well, my mother when divorcing my father would go to his job just to make a since. Yell scream 50 year old woman just threw a tantrum like a child. My ex-wife 13 after divorce still talks about me on Facebook. What do women offer men? Sex and support but if women are overweight and are wagging their fingers in your face about patriarchy. What do I gain from a relationship? Really tell me.

If you don’t like how a woman is acting look at the way you are treating her.

[@anti_prophet666]

You sound like the narcissistic type everyone faults but you

[@zuhairreza]

Obviously we don't know how you are acting or your role in these bad situations (I want to be objective), but, you raised some very good points, from a man's point of view. I don't wanna get into personal details, but, I was feeling horrible about not dating and having relationships in college before I graduated, and long story short, your comment made me feel better (for example, a lot of the girls I met or who came my way, I didn't like them physically, and some were chubby/fat... and the couple or so I did like, they didn't like me in that way, so it is what it is). Anyway, thanks.

[@BodyByBenSLC]

This is exactly my point. I am sharing my honest experience. I am not making it up. "You must be a narcissist". But no one answered my question. What dose a relationship with a women get me? If we split up could I get alimony? Who gets the house? Who gets the kids? Answers? Anyone? If she dosent pay that alimony with the court force her to pay me? Am I entitled to the standard of living I am accustomed too? Show of hands. Anyone?

[@shaunclohessy5105]

ive been watching Gary's Economics recently and got a better understanding of just how rich the rich are and how much more they have become recently AND how this could be addressed via a tax on wealth and assetts instead of just income .. in any case this distribution of wealth must also be considered when considering relationships because this wealth, which the rich increasingly have, comes from society and its young men as much as anyone who are feeling its absence and the burden of this inequality of resource

Like they have so much love to give and sadly, neither I nor the men have found our equal in femmes. So many are femmes are angry, mean, entitled and just a turn-off! But there’s also wonderful ladies out there I hope come into our lives one day…wherever they are 😢

I feel dating and relationships are seen as a staus symbol like driving a lambo or having a mansion. If you have a partner, you are seen as above orhers. At least thats what i see. Truth is, it's pretty rare for a good long term relationship for a lot of people. Maybe most people. I think relationships are good, and can be beneficial. But sadly, it has gotten complicated and distorted by technology. There is no love. Just looks and status. Its like patric Bateman developed todays dating game. And i feel like that homeless guy he killed for not having a job.

[@AlphaMatt1000]

Women care about looks #1. Second wealth.

[@SilverSurfar]

Its not even the top 10% of men doing well on the apps anymore, its only the top 1% For instance, im a 6ft tall, Software Developer who has been told im handsome, and im good at conversation. I will get matches from time to time. But actually keeping a conversation going for more then a few messages, or meeting up with a women? DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. The real problem is that women have WAY to many options, so you are just one of 10 possible men she is talking to, on that day. Then tomorrow she gets 30 more matches, talks to 5 more, then the next day is 30 more matches, 5 more guys. So she will only meet up or talk to Brad Pitt essentially. Rinse and repeat. Ita fucking BRUTAL out there for men.

[@nealmccoy6176]

Not a hard solve, guys. Be happy being alone, (self improvement will not help you to get women in the west), OR get your passport and leave permanently. Not sure why people are complicating this.
