Spoiler alert: More men are single now because more women have stopped tolerating their bullshit

This article in Psychology Today discusses what we already knew, women would rather be alone than date the men we were forced to settle for in the past. Get it together guys…

The Rise of Single, Lonely Men

Maybe it’s because we’re tried of hearing about everything wrong with us. AKA our bullshit.

This is basically how I feel. I'd rather die alone than be with someone I don't like.

The sad part on that, a lot of the single lonely men are the ones that actually want to treat a woman right

Bad guys are better at seeming good than decent guys are

@th3r0n 🤔 so do they start out good and turn to shit after being rejected for the nth time?
th3r0n · 41-45, M
@lumberjackslam some do, some stay good on a relative scale and just are lonely but still nice to people

62% of dating sites users are men. So, yes, women can be very selective, and men need to up their game. Mostly though, it's up to women, more so than any anytime, not to put up with bullshit. Remember that bad behavior persists, because some people "enable" it.

I wonder that the break down across age groups would be (62% is the average).

@Northwest That just means that women are still looking for men with the balls to approach in public. I love that. When I approach girls they tell me that they never get approached anymore and thank me. Even if they're taken or not interested they appreciate a man with confidence.

You sure it's not the other way around 🤔

I read a write up of this somewhere else and they'd framed it in the grossest was possible, lamenting that these poor men were finding it harder to get dates because women had the means to communicate.
That is my excuse too. I'd rather be alone than with someone that is going to cause me to go to therapy just to be with them.

@canusernamebemyusername Therapy is expensive
@SW-User I already go to therapy anyway so I know that one. But I don't need more psychological trauma from a bad relationship. Also good article. I like Psychology Today. And I agree standards need to change. Like due to growing up with so much toxic masculinity I am literally afraid of a lot of men. Heck if I met me I'd be afraid of me too. lol

I hate to tell you this. But so would a lot of men.. Not to nit pick on this. But the rise of the "Me' lifestyle in the west isnt just women....😷

May be this is true at some extent but it's not true for all lonely Men!
There’s still more pressure for women to get married than for men, in a lot of circles. There is yet no male equivalent of the "old maid".

@IWasCallingYaLarry I’m sorry you had a bad pp succ experience
IWasCallingYaLarry · 26-30, M
@SW-User I mean my experiences are entirely just of women having used me and having constantly lying to me. There's way worse experiences many other men have had with women and I hear them every day of my life. Like a married man with a wife and kids, she decides to cheat on him, makes it out to be his fault, then acts surprised when he kicks her out of the house and she tries coming back in his life years down the line when her life is all much worse off after the divorce, and she wants to sink her hooks back into him, etc etc. Happens a lot.
