Why are many good men single?

Question

I can't understand how so many good men are still single. When I asked them how they are still single I get the following responses:

I'm not lucky with women or haven't been lucky yet
I'm too poor
Women just don't like me
I am probably meant to be single
And my personal favorite: I really don't know

Really? I can't comprehend this. How is it, that they are still single? They're smart, funny, honest and nice and either never had a girlfriend or had only short term friendships with girls. There are girls out there, who would like them with these traits but I can't understand how they are still single! What is going on? Is this common?

Why?
Because most young women want scumbag bad boys, not good men.
Because false rape allegations, Title IX and the risk of a career or education ending sexual harassment complaint.
Because in Britain and Europe cat-calling laws are being rolled out, which make it an Orwellian thought crime to approach a woman. Approach a girl, go to gaol.
Because divorce law is so grotesquely unfair to men that only a naive fool would allow a woman to move in, or marry her.
Because one night of sex can lead to a lifetime of child-support payments, as well as a false rape allegation.
In short, women, as a collective, have made themselves so toxic, so legally and financially dangerous, that no sane, informed and intelligent man would want anything to do with a female.
I would encourage you to read Men on Strike, by Dr Helen Smith.
For the potted version, go to YouTube and listen to Paul Joseph Watson's comment on Milo's Sexodus article.

Because good guys aren't that outgoing like bad ones, so it means you won't meet good guys at clubs, bars etc... They aren't that active on dating sites or in social life like bad guys, bad guys usually like being in centre of attention so it means they will catch your attention much easier, they are usually very good at flirting with women, has good sense of humour, they like women attention, women like being in competition with each other.
Also good guys are usually portraited as weak, bad guys as cool ones, so that's why good guys are usually being rejected or left in friendzone because they are viewed as weak, boring ones.

I can never find any good guys. I want one so bad like Idc how you look just make me feel safe and treat me right. I'm tired of being lied to.. I find good guys hard to find. Guys look at me and think I'm bad news. I'm really not. Just have hair past my butt and an average face.

I agree, it's something sad when I realise some people even turn their mind to say girls are devil to not date with them
Some will continue with 《I am not attractive 》 or 《girls think about physics at first》

JSmuve · Answer

1) They're not meeting the women they want either because the women they want aren't attracted to them or they don't know how to generate their own opportunities.

2) They're not social and can't connect with people well

3) They don't have the mental and emotional fortitude to pursue girl after girl with reckless abandon until they find one who wants him as much as he wants her

4) They have high standards

5) They don't know how to escalate things physically without feeling like they're taking advantage of the girl

6) They don't believe they're good enough to be relationship material

FatherJack · Answer

I would not term myself a " good " man , as I have my faults & can be belligerent , in my case I' m a single dad , also working FT , I don't have the inclination to date... the last thing I want is a repeat of the marriage I escaped from !!
However , there are more men than women ( a lot more boys are born than girls ) , especially in the younger age groups , also it is FAR harder for a man to win over a woman , than vice versa , men are simply not as in demand as women are. These would be major factors.

The thing is we never get a good feedback, we try endlessly to get a girl and then Boom she friendzones you for years, while you try with others it happens the same. It happened dozens of times for me just because I am a caring and nice person. You must be a badass as a man to get the girl and I hate that. You should be attracted to masculinity obviously but.. I don't see why you girls are somehow attracted to bullshit like a guy that cheats you or doesn't buy you a flower at all or swears at you and a guy that does all the means to get to you, romantically is so ignored and dumped in the Friendzone.

MusicMayhem · Answer

Because courting women isn't taught at school. Must men don't know how to approach women in the right way and it takes 50 or more approaches before you find the right one. A typical guy might only approach that many in a year. There's too much disparity between guys and girls dating potential. So when a guy does find a girl that likes him, he'll go along with it but realise later they aren't compatible and so break up later.

Nice men have 'boring' lives. Wake up-Go to work-Dinner-Sleep.

I think women (Younger women especially) have this thing in their head that bad boys live their lives in a magical, action-movie way. When in reality they do the exact same thing as the rest of us.
... Except, instead they walk around in a mood, with a pissed off look on their face)

Let's be honest. Women may be more intimidating than ever before. Also, let's not forget that women like shit and they need a man with shit who's got his own place and career. He needs to be able to buy her shit from H&M, Zara, Christian louboutin etc. so she can take WONDERFUL pictures on instagram. Men really don't have it like they did back in our parents and grandparents time. The men have gotten poorer but women still want stuff so now most men will die without touching a woman and women will continue to run down only the best men/earners.

Their bar is set really high. The best women are grabbed up early. I met my wife when she was 21. The 30 plus offering are not worth having for the most part. Bad credit, promiscuity, designer label addiction, weave addiction, etc. Too much to risk when marrying these women. If a 30 something really has his shit together and has acquired assets he has more to lose than gain. Especially if they have children.

I have social anxiety from having Aspergers and from having a hormone disorder, so I pretty much avoided women until my 30s, and now I can't find anyone who's interested... so I'm trying to resign myself to the fact that I'll probably be alone for the rest of my life.

I can answer the qn for you. In order to be happy, being single works best. For those who can deal with commitments, relationship, emotional shit etc, being single is the cure. Not everyone needs or wants someone else but are content by themselves.

I ponder that same question every night before I go to sleep. I wish I had the answer

PeachyPrince · Answer

Well I feel like I might be part of this category, and honestly for me, I'd say I can't really find the right girls for me, and the one time I thought I did she rejected me for reasons I'm still trying to fully figure out

samcxcxcx · Answer

Yeah... it is because good men are afraid of getting stuck with some wrong girl and this fear of unknown drives them to remain single...

Extremio · Answer

I'm a perfect victim of this tragedy to be very very honest..

Woxzid · Answer

This is actually very common. Women are attracted to confidence because confidence is sexy. Women usually go for so-called bad boys because they exude confidence even if it's fake. When it comes to good men most of them can be funny, smart, etc. But if they don't have the confidence to back it up, then it's all for nothing. It's a sad thing, but men with low confidence usually give answers like you the ones that you've heard when asked why they're single. Hope this helps

Matthamue87 · Answer

We get friend zoned because we are shy and respectful. if we like a woman we tend to try to hard or play it to cool. And there's always some jackass who knows the right things to say to mislead the good women and play them till they are no longer good

Suitcase · Answer

Im single because everyone thinks im gay and i seem to be a gay guy magnet. I wish i had that effect on women.

bekkesmash · Answer

That's because the guy has to do most the work in the intial stages of the reationship. Most men don't know how to do this, don't want to go through effort to do this, or are too shy to do it.

Zeus23 · Answer

Because they know what type of woman they are looking for and make smart decisions in finding a "good" woman for themselves. Keeping in mind that it's not easy finding the "perfect" guy.

FrenchyRomain · Answer

we are not the ones that CHOOSE to be single, women dont like us for who we are

Marklaw12 · Answer

I'm single because I don't don't know who's a lesbian or who's transgender or who's already attached. It's pretty difficult to differentiate, you know? Lol
