I mean, would you want to date one of those crazy woke bitches? That's got to be the majority of them. I can't even stand to listen to video that's more than 1 minute 30 seconds. Date that?

So many live on their phone. Maybe single male looking for single female to share popcorn, wings, and pizza while we sit and look at our cellphones.

When you don’t get matches or swiped on, it’s sort of a confirmation that you’re not attractive therefore your self esteem and confidence plummet

There are three issues at play:
1) politics: women are skewing hard left and men are swinging right
2) mental illness and antisocial behavior rates are exploding
3) women statistically are far pickier than men. Because men will have casual hookups with women below their rankings it’s convinced average women they can get top tier men which means the average and below women are refusing to date the average guys. Dating apps are causing these issues to become catastrophic among young millennials and Gen Z.

There is no financial or emotional incentive for men to date. The negatives far, far outweigh the positives. Especially if you live in large cities where all the women are batshit insane.

Pick the wrong woman, and your life is ruined. Permanently. Financially, legally, emotionally.

Work from home culture
Online dating
The younger generation has zero social skills
Porn

Also the younger generation can’t seem to function without earbuds blaring something into their brain. I remember the good old days at the gym. We’d pump iron, but between sets there was a lot of socializing and mooch catting. Go to any gym nowadays and everyone has ear buds in staring at the ground between sets.

No, being a parent does not suck.

It’s the absolute pinnacle of human existence.

Can it be challenging? Of course, as can anything that requires great responsibility.

But nothing is more rewarding.

Exactly. Total dysfunctional generation of social misfits.

Bingo again.

The Controllers made it FREE by design. The MO of "satisfaction" for two-thirds of these victims from age 12-80 (or whatever) will no doubt "suffice" right up until the day they die.

They are all sitting around jerking off to porn on their phones.


We had to go out and find something to stick it in.

This the only point I’d dispute. Social Media, I’d argue, has made women feel that they're worth far more than they are in actual life, to the point where a 5 thinks she rates an 8 or a 9, and won’t settle for an average man.

Modern women generally are nothing like the women of previous generations. Men providing and women being homemakers is not the goal of women anymore.


I think most of it can be easily distilled into a single issue…economic status.

There was a time when financial stability was the primary goal and a stable guy with a union job impressed both the girl and her parents.

Today, women earn 60% of the college diplomas, and are no longer concerned with financial support. That simple fact immediately makes a large group ineligible to apply.

Exactly.

I'd watch porn and beat my meat so when I would score with a nice gal I'd last all night.

It's mostly dudes who have either just checked out or are looking overseas. Who knew that rigging family courts against men, alienating them in schools, overly generous incentives to single mothers, add outsourcing their jobs overseas would discourage men from dating and starting families?

Pump the breaks, dude. Being married and parenting is very hard, but it's what makes you a better person. Nothing worth having is easy.

This isn’t limited to young people. I’m older & divorced. I can tell you for certain the vast majority of older female profiles on the apps come with a list of requirements a mile long. It’s insane. But that’s what happens when they are inundated with male attention online. And it’s disappointing too. You meet a seemingly nice gal who shows early excitement only to be ghosted. Why? Because better looking matches don’t stop coming. They have no incentive to stop looking up. They never stop talking to other guys.

Although I can see why one would laugh at this thought initially I have to mention I see a decent amount of “could be attractive” young women who look like cartoon characters.

All the fatted up lips, fake eyelashes plus some odd rounded cheekbone thing…..I’m guessing they got that to look better on social media but in real life it sets off alarm bells. (For my generation at least….I’m in my early 50’s.)
One thing that’s is 100 percent better though is the recipe for white girl booty is common knowledge now.
I’ll raise my glass to that innovation.

Social media has made the general modern woman undatable. Nothing more complicated than that.
