As an asian man who has traveled to LATAM and the US, I am not surprised. American women are super entitled, hard to approach and borderline delusional when selecting men. It is never enough for them. They are hard to approach, judgy and sincerely just a pain in the ass. Women in LATAM for example are a thousand times sweeter, more feminine and approachable.
Really troubling statistics if true. I suspect the lockdown has exacerbated this.<p>Frankly I worry for my own young children. I almost wish there was a place to live where there was little to no social media, no chronic cell phone addiction, people out in nature, together, socializing, cooperating.
Will probably get downvoted for this. But I'm a very conventionally attractive guy with a good job in a major US city. I basically have an unlimited stream of dates through dating apps from women of all walks of life. Upwards of 20 - 50 matches a day if I really push it. People already know this, but I dont think they know how bad the schew is. Every young single woman is chasing the same few men and they dont care if that guy is dating other women.<p>As these women enter their 30s I really dont know what is going to happen. Society will be an odd place in twenty years. The social dynamics between men and women have never existed like this.
Underlying report discussed here a couple of days ago:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34895267" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34895267</a><p>Note though that this video adds some rare (for mainstream media due to its controversial nature) perspective on the long-known causes of the problem, raised by some in that and earlier discussions.
The maths of dating never makes sense unless you make some really difficult assumptions.<p>Reminds me of a joke from somewhere: Every happy man is single and every happy woman is married.
<i>Some</i> parts of this trend I find it positive for society. The traditional pressure to have a partner is too much, learn to be alone is important to self development, have to sleep in the same bed every night is bananas to me.
Throwaway. I’m looking for advice.<p>I live in a decently big city, I make very good money - close to 200k which is far above what most people here pull in. Lead teams of people. Am in mid 30s, well over 6ft. White. My (few) sexual partners couldn’t get enough. I work out with a generous physique, get compliments that I can’t even accept these days.<p>I’m extremely jaded. I stopped talking/interacting and even making eye contact with women despite working in an industry essentially dominated by them. I’m not sure what to do because the idea that a few men are getting all the women does not sit well with me at all. Even if I could be one of them, to me it’s a society-ruining move and I can’t in good faith participate.<p>So I feel disgust and this disgust is turning me into a misogynist.<p>I’d like to hear some thoughts as to how to get out of this rut and interact with women again without feeling like I’m being used, and that the average man out there can only dream of being in my position as he faces insurmountable rejection and will also be used in a far worse way than me. It just sounds like a kick in the balls.
