Why do you think that men gave up on dating, at least how a loads of people say?

Hoeflation. Men today have to work 20x harder than their grandfathers did for 20x worse than what they had.

Many women prefer attention on social media to being approached in person. It's to the point where they literally say they would choose a random bear to a random man to come across.

#MeToo has also made it very hard for decent guys (the majority) to approach women. Good men are being punished for the crimes of the minority.

Women were raised on how to be treated by a man, but not on how to treat him. It makes them extremely entitled. Most of them expect men to pay for them for everything, even when they have equal rights and are allowed to make the same money.

Men don't see the benefits to relationships as much nowadays. It's just a bunch of women that see them as an ATM and expect them to provide their standard of life. They aren't receptive to being approached in most scenarios. And they're just incredibly entitled and narcissistic.

I'm not speaking about all women for the record. There are some gems out there. But the majority of them really aren't worth it, unless they have a mentality change and realize a relationship is about effort on both sides. It's about teamwork.

Participation trophies. The only correct answer


This generation of men is one that had everything handed and nothing earned


You show up to a ball game and get obliterated? Here’s a medal good job


Then the real world hits like a train:
Men don’t work on themselves, don’t improve their looks, their style, their hygiene, their occupation in life and then they wonder why they aren’t being awarded a woman anyway just for showing up.


Because real life doesn’t have participation trophies
Everything is earned one way or the other


All the excuses and the cope: “hoeflation”, “hypergamy”, “unrealistic standards”, whatever else. Are just that. Excuses
And they lead towards nothing but failure


Because success doesn’t have to be “just” or “fair” it’s the natural outcome of making the right decisions when it matters

Too many people focus on their options than building something genuine and good connections. Some people also have unrealistic standards or expectations more than compromising and holding authenticity. Others may be tired of disappointments, emotional burnt out, misled, or afraid to get hurt and they can possibly self-sabotage. There are some guys who puts low effort and wanna get an easy girl who would accept their low effort. And potentially different priorities in life other than dating or wanting to be self-sufficient before commitments.

That is just exaggerated internet nonsense. In reality, men are dating just as much as ever. The only minor change has been the amount of hours people work these days. Some people struggle to find the time to do much outside of their work schedule.

I think there's a lot of guys that are cheap. They would just rather go out pick up on somebody for a one night stand.
And call it good. Guys don't know how to love. They don't know how to act, so they're embarrassed.
They don't want to become a boyfriend because they don't know how. It's probably a fifty-fifty deal.
I think it's just easier forgot it not to date but there's the ones that are gonna lose out. Maybe in time who knows

Because of most women's terrible morals, dishonesty, abuse of men, stealing from men, stealing their children, lying about paternity, false accusations, selfishness/unfairness in relationships by women, and all of that is on top of how ugly so many women are now with their tattoos, nose rings, short unnaturally colored hair, and they are very lazy and fat.

Women are mostly just a source of stress, drama, and financial hardship. When the only thing a woman brings is sex, that is something plenty attractive men could easily get, she really adds nothing of value to his life. Why be with someone that will only make his life worse and not better?

To put things simply. If she's single at this age it isn't an accident most likely. When a guy is young he pursues women. At 40 the power shifts. If a woman wants to date it's on her to pursue the man. Because at this point the man has simply too much yo lose. After 40 it's up to the woman to prove to the man she's the exception (much like before 40 it was the man's job to prove he was the exception). If she doesn't want to, both can stay single everyone walks away happy.👍

Because it’s normal. Stats from 100 years ago all say that a portion of men never do get married or have children. At some point they give up on the desire to date and focus on other things

The same reason women gave up, dating scene is trash. People are disingenuous, scared of commitment, dating is a cesspool of toxic.

[dudeinohio]

Because women think men are creeps if they hit on women. Guys can't win.

Im convinced not a single girl alive would be interested in me

MeToo statutes with the risk of execution or life in prison for violation of those rules
