Why are so many decent people single nowadays? (Page 2)

Question

Of course I have my own theories on the matter, but I am very curious to hear what others have to say.  I may list my own thoughts in an update later...

ZeussLightningBolt · Answer

Because they are decent, so they want other decent people

winterfox10 · Answer

I think they look at the modern dating scene and realize that they simply want no part of it.

Avicenna · Answer

I think the top two reasons are they aren't aggressive enough and are too picky.

PaulValentin · Answer

Honestly for me? Consider myself decent-ish. I'm just too unexperienced for my age so I have no idea how to even flirt, nevermind having the guts to actually walk up to someone and ask em out. FeelsBadMan.

OlavLuikens · Answer

I think a lot of people don't want to be single but don't have a way to express their feelings. A lot of people are really insecure nowadays.

OGxtra · Answer

I'm not 100 percent on this but my opinion is that were quite a bit more picky these days than in the past !

soleil2666 · Answer

Because the media space sells experiences and encounters and not relationships. And decent people prefer relationships (and getting gooey)

Stan83 · Answer

Because no relationship is perfect and your loved one will never fulfill all your needs. Most of us are looking for perfection and when it gets harder, most of us are thinking that it could be better elsewhere.

FreyaRed · Answer

brutalization of social norms leads to collective indifference. I'm meanwhile so tired to start a honey sweet convo that turns after 20-30 sentences in passive-aggressive blaming and generalization.

OddBeMe · Answer

Because they can’t communicate properly. I don’t know how many people I know who can’t communicate properly. I think it’s social media. by the way, same issue with my grandmother so it ain’t just age.

fred_durst · Answer

i dont know about girls , but i think the reason why there are so many single guys , it is because of internet porn accessing it is as easy as blinking own eyes

WalterBlack · Answer

I think one of the biggest issues is the economy. When you're working overtime or trying to juggle 2 or 3 jobs in order to get by, it really takes away from a person's availability for dating.

IntrovertedAj · Answer

People want exciting times and adventure so they choose risky or bad people. It adds an extra thrill to things to have an element of danger.

CallMeGarth · Answer

Most people are either overly picky or don’t see a compelling reason to get involved in anything long term (i. e. the disadvantages outweigh the advantages).

R_ūshī · Answer

A lot of nice and cool af single people ik have either been hurt too much in the past or they're just not interested anymore or they're still stuck in the past.

coolhandroo · Answer

Because so many shitty people have left a bad taste in their mouth

Anonymous · Answer

Because women are hypergasmists and refuse to date lower than the bar they set. But then they blame men as a gender for not living up to that standard.

Women are doing better and better while men are stagnated, women are actively choosing to limit their dating pool and complain. Their standards don't consider the current economy, women run on pure emotion

Anonymous · Answer

Because decent and moral people are so rare these days that it is very difficult for a decent person to find another decent person. Wherever you go you find people who are beautiful on the outside but ugly or empty inside.

DorkVader · Answer

Because Door Dash doesn't deliver boyfriends 😅

Slim57 · Answer

I think a lot of people are overlooked because they are introverted and people don't get to know them and they have trouble meeting people, that or simply just plain bad luck in the dating world.

BCRanger10 · Answer

My thoughts are that they don't want to, they don't know how to, or they are too busy.

genericname85 · Answer

Cause as you said being decent is normal. The bar has been raised. People have crazy high expectations created by Hollywood and the modern tinder culture makes them feel like they could find someone better any second anyway.

tpries29 · Answer

Because real people care about their future and won't settle to be unhappy in an unrealistic relationship

Gatman34 · Answer

They aren’t descent. The men are desperate and come off as creepy the women are overly liberal and feminist men don’t want that

Nik1hil · Answer

Because Love is a game that if played fairly you will loose..  And decent people are fair..  However indecent people are not fair..  And hence Game of Love is their cup of tea

Mehzmeh · Answer

Heart break. Some just got out of really long/bad relationships. So, taking them a while to heal.

Shamalien · Answer

most people are in relationships for the sole purpose of having someone there to enable them in some way. It's this weird co dependent thing, I need you to tell me I'm not a loser and you need me to tell you you're pretty or w/e

sawno · Answer

Because its so hard for me to find a soulmate that lives close to me.

dhanyashree · Answer

Probably they are all too far from each other. Not in the immediate circle.

0nMyM1nD · Answer

It’s better to be alone in a world where trust has disappeared thanks to social media

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

Probably depends on the definition of decent. 🤷‍♂️

lovedejj_xo · Answer

No one really has interest me enough to consider dating them

Beautiful_Confusion · Answer

I get so tired of what the process has become, I have to take breaks. I've found it challenging to first, find someone with similar interests; then get to know them.

Singles can do what they want without having to "get permission."

Ninjazzed · Answer

Because chances are, they’re the ones who kept getting used or taken advantage of.

Just waiting for the core of ass-kissing males to show up saying women are victims even though they have all of the power in dating and that men are to blame for everything
