Why are younger men statistically more likely to be single in your opinion?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I personally think women and girls have become more demanding and more aggressive. Now, this is a touchy topic. Because I believe when females read this or hear things like this, they automatically assume I am trying to degrade them and put them down. But a girl selling her body online isn't female empowerment. When I hear things women say that "We don't need a man or guy for anything". Really? I have sisters and they don't want to do the same physical labour work I do as a guy. Even jobs that require lifting heavy objects because I've worked in warehouses before it's usually guys pushing the pallets, it's usually men making cars or working construction or in the kitchen at a restaurant cooking. So right there, guys and men are automatically dehumanized. Now before a woman or girl reads this and wants to bash my balls, I don't represent the past of how women were oppressed. Because I could easily play victim card and point to every female who has hurt me and assume all women are the same. It's the same logic.

Men and guys are single for different reasons 1) he hasn't gotten his big break in life to have a good job and his own place, 2) he's not handsome enough or tall enough, 3) his personality traits women or girls find repugnant. Whatever the case is, those are usually the ones. Women will say we have higher standards so we aren't dealing with trash! Really? Because I see many good looking guys or men in Hollywood who are getting hit with divorce papers by their wives and I am no Hollywood star actor. Women and girls have delusional, Disney fairytale expectations and thats why a lot of guys are single because they can't own up to it. It's not about a guy being lazy or weak. If guys and men expected any female to look like prime Pamela Anderson from the mid to late 90s, a lot of you girls and women would be single I'm just keeping it 100.

I blame feminism for this BS because it didn't empower women, it merely manipulated them and destroyed them. Women and girls used these abrasive, sexist, dehumanizing texts written by female authors being hateful towards men that now its normalized. Nowadays, both genders hate each other. The media does a great job causing division amongst races, religions and genders and hence why there is so much hate in this world today. To end off, the reason why men are statistically to be more single are the following

1) Getting rejected/ghosted/divorced because a woman or girl put him through so much sh! t in

2) He doesn't want drama, headache, the potential of divorce or breakup

3) He sees females in a different light, not being kind, feminine, he views her as being masculine, rude and aggressive which is a turn off to him

4) He wants to be single because more women nowadays don't want to get married due to the rise of feminism dismissing marriage as more and more women don't view marriage as a beautiful thing but just something legally enforced by the state.

I'm sorry to say, I expect a lot of women to die alone and it's unfortunate, I see so much potential with women to do better in life. I see potential in myself to find someone worthy to be with but I'm just disgusted/annoyed by how women behave nowadays.

What I am hearing a lot of young guys think girls are more trouble than they are worth.

Their divorced fathers are also telling them not to marry a woman like their divorcing mother and keep it to having fun. Girls are more willing to have sex without relationships so that works more than it did when girls would only give sex within a relationship.

The stats are that 60% of young woman say they are in a relationship whilst only 30% of young men do. There is evidence that girls will rate themselves as being in a relationship more readily than young men do and a number of girls will be in a relationship with the same man.

The easiest explanation of the 30 point differential is that either 1/ they are in lesbian relationships or 2/ they are in relationships outside the 20;s cohort.

At my age I can just reach down to early 20's and certainly down to late 20's. I am certainly motivated to do so because 20's girls are more fun and have better bodies. Mostly females prefer their partner to be older and appreciate men who have more resources.

So it is fairly natural that 20's girls are with 30's men. A lot of 30's women are looking at having children, so 30's men are motivated to avoid that drama.

I think that is predominant reason for the differential.

Lol. Some of these comments. In my opinion, it's a multitude of reasons.

1) Someone commented about men being afraid of approaching women because it's seen as harassment. If this is what is frightening a lot of young men, then they need to think about how, when, and where they approach... which is obvious. If they come across as creepy by what they say, unable to read visible, uncomfortable body language, attempt to keep us trapped in conversation for a chance, then yes. Is it a surprise when plenty of women feel harassed? They may be doing it unintentionally, but the men who have zero issues with this have the self-awareness to understand this basic rule of social engagement. This leads me to...

2) Their severe lack of skillful socialization. There's a suggested inverse relationship between advancing technology and the decreasing ability to socialize properly. This inability to communicate properly will be a major hurdle in any relationship.

3) Many are focusing on becoming stable before they pursue a relationship.

4) (Some) Women are not interested in men who lack... aspirations. If I were to generalize, I would assume that most of us desire men who are equal to or greater than us, considering our status in life. We don't want to take care of a man; we want an equal partner (while others just want the man to take care of them). Why does this affect younger men? Because more women are college-educated and advancing in their careers, while these young men... aren't.

5) The younger generation is rife with "nice guys" who oddly expect sexual favors from women just for being decent human beings. They have all the issues stated above and then some. They're also conservatively radicalized, which will put women off them further (especially in the U. S.), considering the current political climate.

These are my thoughts though.

Porn, social media, weak social skills, brainwashed by other immature/insecure men.  In most cases, men are their own worst enemy. Look at that riducious advice men post on here. No wonder they are bitter, miserable, and single.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

They are less likely to have the resources that attract females. With age comes the knowledge and experience necessary to develop the ability to accumulate resources. With that knowledge and experience well applied, resources can be accumulated, making a man significantly more attractive to women.

More likely than what? Single women? Older men? Teenagers?  Please cite some verified statistics from a reliable source.

DishLady · Answer

Young guys are "playing the field" and not necessarily racing to get married.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

One of the issues is that women seek status in men and men have severely lost a lot of their ability to gain that status.

Some might argue that women are given the priority instead of leaving sex out of the equation for who gets to participate. Which would lead those women to think that the men who got rejected because they are not "diverse" enough are not hard working.

Men do not care about this at all. They would marry a basement dweller as long as she takes care of herself somewhat and is not miserable to be around.

I am not saying that women should not be a part of the climb to high status, I am saying that women should give up the idea of dating a high status man because this is no longer necessary anymore. I suppose it might be tough due to defying biological instincts but I think it is possible if there are men desperate enough to date Lizzo.

The second issue is that there has been a lot of anti-family propaganda that straight up says that men are the worst investment a woman could ever make. A story on the Atlantic even says that men who win a lot of money often try to build a family while women who win money often try to leave them.

With these factors in mind, it is no wonder why the birthrate is collapsing.

jshm2 · Answer

Too much detachment from family, and too much attachment to false ideals and social media.

I deal with many young kids, teens and men in my line of work. Working in IT I have a unique perspective as they cannot hide their search history and digital shenanigans from me.

A lot of these people will have interesting stories, but they all have family and relationship issues, and it shows in their digital devices too.

In the case of young men, they are too caught up in ideals and what others do and think, forgetting that they need to think and do for themselves as well. Poor family dynamics doesn't help them any - so they turn to shitbags online, who take their money and peace. Hence robbing and disabling them to boot.

dragoblack · Answer

Because dating standards and tactics are gettinh worse. Next to no one can be honest, straightforward, be themselves, not play abusive & manipulative games, and not have some scheme or alternative agenda. Dating should just be 2 people hanging out, having fun, and getting to know eachother, but people have been making it more and more needlessly complicated... plus the magazine dating advice articles over the years filled is abusive, manipulative, untrusting, and deceitful advice didn't help.
Hell, many relationships in the USA are just situationships where they know little about eachother, then break up when the sex gets stale, or when it becomes inconvenient.
Heck from experience and talking to people many women find it a turnoff when guys want women to talk about their passions or just be themselves, acting like the guys who ask, have some vile motive for doing so.

Jersey2 · Answer

The Left have brutally F’ed over these guys. This is also why they aren’t voting liberal, because they know they have been F’ed over. They killed these guys off jobs, on having a wife, on having a family, on simply being men.

The backlash is here and it will last their lifetime. They will never trust the Left. The world is once again changing. Out is the Left and their nutball ideas. Out with the trans, out with the die hard feminists, out with DEI, out with all that crap. This lesion won’t be forgotten by these men. They are single because they have been f’ed over… and they know it.

Anonymous · Answer

There’s a lot of reasons. One being that they don’t have a lot of resources to attract women. Don’t have the looks. Supposedly a majority of women find 80% of the male population unattractive. They may be shy. I’ve already read that men these days just don’t find it worth pursuing women. That there’s no return on their investment. They may also lack the skills on how to approach women. They may also not want to take a chance of being accused of something. It could also be listening to certain Mae influencers online who are brainwashing them. There’s a lot of reasons.

Kelley1 · Answer

It is obvious from the following chart:

Why are younger men statistically more likely to be single in your opinion?

By age 18, less than 1% of men have been married. By age 20, 5% of men have been married. By age 25, 39.4% of men have been married. By age 30, 47.1% of men have been married.

Younger men include a higher percentage of men who have never been married. It should be obvious that more 18 year old men are single than 30 year old men.

Apple1996 · Answer

Because they have nothing to offer a woman... not even a good personality or a good time hanging out which is like bare minimum for a relationship. And its not even just younger men because the older ones get into relationships yet can't keep them (think about the boomer and gen x men having 5 ex wives) so just men in general need to have something to offer to a woman which many of them dont even do the bare minimum of that.

Neozone · Answer

It's because they spend majority of there time on the internet and their nights watching loads of porn. They assume that girl's won't want to be with them, when they actually do. Also based off experiences and also talking to my brother and his friends, they tend to expect the girl there with to have a body of a pornstar and to want the girl to do the things that are done in the porn videos. Also that being said about the conversations with my brother's friends, they view the girl there "talking to" as something they "own/their property" and sometimes as a "sexual object".

emeraldsaphire · Answer

it's simple, social isolation. Women have more friends on average, women are more likely to go to collage and participate in social activities, and just in general have better social skills. For both men and women the number one reason for singleness is social isolation. Women are more socialized to network, and have better social skills in general, men are socialized to be more independent and aggressive. Both traits not ideal for getting a partner.

SissyQOS · Answer

Because women like older mature men and a good woman wants an older black boyfriend. Young white girls should be taught to seek black boyfriends so by the next generation white girls grow up knowing that they should only be with black men. White boys can’t take care of her needs. White boys don’t get girlfriends. They are to remain virgins their whole lives never knowing what it’s like to be with a woman but they can learn to accept the superiority of black men and how they can show their respect by beginning feminization training from a young age so they grow up to be just like a girl even becoming just as attracted to black men as the women. But sissies are more made just for black men to fuck as whores instead of girlfriends. We are the lowest on worth but at least we are given something to serve black men

Miristheiss · Answer

On line dating is a big factor in my guess. The days of spending time together in friend groups and meeting face to face are sometimes taking a back seat to just seeing a couple of pictures and a brief writeup and swiping. I've heard or read women are bombarded with matches and only swipe on 5% of the guys.

Porn is a big contributor too.

A lot more guys are out of shape and aren't following any life goals and mission.

genericname85 · Answer

cause they don't have the fainancial stability to offer that women are looking for. male value on the dating marked starts out terrible but rises with age. female value on the dating market starts out extremely high but only shrinks with age. that's why younger men are more often single than younger women.

Seangreen · Answer

Yes because women value men based on what they're worth and it takes time for men to build up a value for women to make them think they're worth it so we don't start with loads of cash unless our family is rich so we have to take time to build ourselves up in order to even be considered so if you look at all the rich kids they probably have girlfriends

Benjiman19 · Answer

Why am I single as an almost 23 year old man? I'm working. I don't have the time or money to spend on a woman right now. I want financial stability and hopefully my own house and vehicle before I go and get me a girlfriend or a wife/family. I want to be able to take care of those who I may love in the future and not be a shitty father or husband. If not for these goals I wish to succeed, then I'd be in a relationship right now.

WhitneySnow · Answer

Because more guys want to settle down as they get older

Vegasrunner · Answer

The answer to this is obvious. It takes longer for men to acquire the things it takes to be attractive to women. This is also why younger women have more options than older women. Most experienced people have moved past the why and examined the how. Few of the ways younger guys can increase their options is.

1. Focus on career and money

2. Don't limit yourself to one girl

3. Increase sexual partners

beefcakebradybatson · Answer

Good-paying jobs require more education than in the past, plus purchasing a home, the first true adulthood signpost, is crazy expensive, causing many young men to delay nuptials.(In Canada, the average age of first marriage is 33.5 for men and about 32 for women.)
