Do any men genuinely want a relationship nowadays?

[Anonymous]

This is a serious question. I would appreciate an honest answer from the guys.

I feel like I keep putting myself out there, but every time I date, the guy ends up in some way or another conveying that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship with me.
I go above and beyond to treat the guy Im seeing very well. But giving more of myself doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Are there men out there who genuinely want a deeper connection nowadays and not just sex or settling for a relationship because they are unable to get laid otherwise?

Most guys your age are not interested in serious relationships. There are several reasons for that. First, in the past marriage was the goal for most people, including young men, and dating was a means to that end. Marriage was the carrot that motivated men to date. And sex was another strong motivator for men.

Today, marriage is not the carrot it used to be because it's a scary, risky proposition now for men, and it doesn't offer the same benefits to men that it did in the past. Half of marriages end in divorce, women file 80% of them, men get screwed in divorce court and child custody, and for what? The benefits our fathers and grandfathers enjoyed in marriage are largely nonexistent today, and casual sex is the norm, so why?

Women have created this problem for themselves. They have shot themselves in the foot, and in men's feet too.

Yeah the benefits men enjoy in the past when it comes to marriage is that even if they were abusive the woman couldn’t stand up for herself or leave. Incel comment

That was true of some men, but not most. The fact is, marriage has no appeal to men anymore because women have destroyed it.

Yea they exist, it's just not easy to find them cause normally people look for one at a time and there's really know way of telling the difference between people until you get to know them, they do exist tho just keep looking and don't invest too much into someone until they show that they are looking for something serious and won't just waste your time.

Just because you perhaps have met a series of young dbags your age -- and tbh VERY FEW guys want to settle down when they're just discovering their sexual potential -- doesn't mean that NO MEN are interested in relationships. Come on now...

Good men still exist, but it can take some searching.

Of course. But at this point I have a good amount of assets. I'm sure she does want to share now that I'm self made and she's deeply in debt.😆 I was easy in my 20's to get now the price has went up. She's going to have to put in effort to get me. And if she doesn't want to do that? I'm just fine being single. But of course I want a relationship.

They don’t trust women much anymore and afraid of committing feeling like it won’t work and young guys want their freedom more now it seems and how much it will cost them if they get into one, some guys might feel it’s the only way to get laid is to be in one

I'm not interested on dating anymore, Dating is near impossible. It's all about games and drama. Plus I don't trust women at all anymore 👎👎👎👎
