Why are more and more men giving up on dating?

[Mark9807]

I know why but I want to see your opinions.

[AndyFo]

You ask this question but you have obviously already got an answer so its begs another question, what is the point of asking besides looking for like minded people to support your way of thinking? I suppose I can understand making yourself feel better but seriously, you could have just said that outright instead of making it look like you wanted an actual answer you could accept.

To answer the original question (an no I am not going to support your answer to it so please don't try to convince me) the reason men are giving up on dating in my opinion is because its not so easy to approach woman anymore or at least that's the general conception in this day an age. One can never truly know ones intentions if you be male or female and this creates a distance between the sexes and the ever battle of which sex is better just throws fuel to the flame mixed with many other things. One of those things does involves woman being 'picky' as you seem to believe adamantly but it is not the main reason.

Personally I had some issues with women lately. Not In the past. In the past I've had very few issues with women. But lately, say the last 3 years have been a dry run. All the tinder dates turned out to be duds, or they didn't bother to communicate back, or they showed their true colors and I dipped.

I'm realizing that I'm 26 I'm in my prime. I'll worry about a woman when one worth worrying about comes along. I've been screwed over by women enough and I'm taking a break a while. Just focusing on saving money and myself for a while.

Because there's a general shift in society that no longer makes unsavory or blatantly predatory behavior acceptable, and unfortunately, a lot of men (not all) seem to take that as an anti-male attack. Plus, people socialize less, which contributes too.

[Mark9807]

Incorrect. It is cause of women being way too picky with dating and having unrealistic standards. Also women cheating way more.

[johnsmithjs]

That is just wrong, I am sure you have no desire to know the real reason

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't care why. Every guy who drops out of the competition increases the odds for me! Their loss!

[AzzaBlue]

I haven't given up, but I've got a feeling that time is approaching soon. I don't ask for much from a woman except that she acts like a mature adult who is loyal, self sufficient, owns her mistakes and pays her own way. Sadly though we have a great number of girls who refuse to grow up and act like capable mature adults.

[Mark9807]

I have talked to men that were teenagers or adults back in the 90s,80s,70s, etc and they said dating and hooking up was way easier for average and ugly men back then. It was hard still but way easier than before. That is what they say. Now nearly all the men that have it easy are only the good looking ones.

[Still-alive]

i've given up for the time being because of my current living situation, otherwise i'd be out there.

nah a lot of men are just bitter they can't get women so they just give up. maybe they outta rethink themselves first but nah its never them that are the problem of course.

[Mark9807]

A lot of men are giving up. At a way higher percentage than the 90s and before that. There are reasons why

[Still-alive]

which are often terrible reasons. but hey that kinda widens the dating pool for other guys

[Anonymous]

It's very simple. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

The other day a girl asked me why I wasn't pursuing and I said ''I'm just not interested enough'' Judging by by her response, it was something she'd heard many times, and she's a very attractive girl too.

[Knighted2170]

I was going to give my view, but you seem to want to attack those who don't share your views.

[johnsmithjs]

They are not giving up on dating they are giving up on LTR and marriage.

[JackofSpades]

I kinda just realized that I've been avoiding it my whole life because I never felt like I was good enough.

[KrakenAttackin]

Joker pretty much says it all.

Because women demand too much and offer too little. Meaning the average women wants a model who earns 6 figures.

[Mark9807]

Exactly. For most straight men that are not good looking. It takes them forever to get a girlfriend. Regardless if we are picky or not. Straight men that I know that are older, like in their 40s, etc. tell me dating for average and ugly men, although was hard in the 90s and before that, it wasn't a needle in a haystack like it is now. I get annoyed when people assume if a non good looking guy is struggling with dating, that it probably means he is only going after hot chicks. That is bull. Cause even women that are average or ugly are so dam picky in dating.

[Mark9807]

It doesn't matter if the woman is on a dating site or offline. And it doesn't matter if they use dating sites or not, etc. They are super picky with dating regardless. I am tired of people saying "it is the women that use dating sites that are super picky." It is women regardless if they never used a dating site in their life or not.

There's no point since the brotherhood will soon separate all men and women who are unmarried anyway so we wouldn't be able to anyway, better to not know what you are losing

[Anonymous]

feminists, activists, there is no value in it for men anymore. the women are low value and dont offer men what they want

[zagor]

Doesn't seem much point anymore. And I never meet anyone, especially since covid.

[Anonymous]

Why bother when she only wants your money in the end.

[NathanDavis]

because they are inadequate for dating

[TheFlak38]

because it serves only the interests of women

[Mark9807]

Women are too picky with dating and have unrealistic standards. Agree?

[TheFlak38]

Thats a fact so yes I agree

[Mark9807]

Older men that were teenagers or adults in the 90s or before that tell me how dating and getting laid was hard for average and ugly guys back then BUT it wasn't SUPER SUPER hard, like it is now. Nowadays women that are even average or ugly are super picky with dating and hookups. Nowadays, with males, it is mostly only the good looking guys that have it easy with dating and hookups. I sometimes wish I was born like at least a decade before 1991. What do you think a out what the olderen tell me?

[Mark9807]

Older men

[grega239]

I never get a date so what's the point

[Mark9807]

Sorry about that man. Have you noticed more and more man are giving up?

[Anonymous]

Maybe lack of enthusiasm or Discouragement?

[Mark9807]

Or cause women's unrealistic standards and pickiness in dating.

[Dchrls78104]

Because it's not worth it anymore.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

... I don’t even know

[jimmy2]

Too many damn games

[Mark9807]

You mean women playing games?
