Are young women generally happy in modern society given the fewer men are approaching them along with the bombardment of social media?

A few nights ago I had a good conversation with a Uber driver on my ride home after listening to some live Christmas music downtown. I honestly was depressed I couldn’t find a girl to go with me. But it’s a personal tradition to listen to Christmas jazz. I am glad I went anyway

Anyway about the conversation. The Uber driver was a younger guy in his 20s who used to run a contractor business but it went under during covid and he drives Ubers full time. He told me he completely given up on dating and doesn’t use social media or dating apps. He has been single for 4 years. He wasn’t some overweight slob either. Not a trouble maker. Decent looking young light skinned African American man. Seems like some girl would appreciate him but he quit.

Anyway we both shared experiences about how we both once out in a lot of effort into dating that was very under-appreciated by women and then quit. There was a study done that over 60% of men under 30 are single now.

However most young women who answered this survey claimed to not be single. Either they are (or a combination of) 1) dating older men 2) in causal relationship they claim “is a relationship” when the man feels differently 3) not in a relationship at all but lying about (virtual “relationships” are complete bs)

Anyway let’s forget about men for a second. How are young women dealing with all of this? They are supposed to be more “free and empowered” but are they really happy in modern times? Statistically young women are reporting very high rates of depression:

My theory is young women have been indoctrinated in a lot of modern feminism brainwashing that brings them a lot of short term benefits but long term misery.

Good point but you are wasting your time bro. Most “modern” women will never be honest about this. They don’t even realize that they are part of the problem with this “modern” attitude.

That would require them to go against “the grain” if they spoke up about this. Feminists would claim they “want to go bald in chains” or some nonsense.

But statically you are right about two things. More men are giving up on dating and more women are reporting depression. But they they keep falling back on short term “sugar highs” (e. g. likes from posting selfies on social media) to make up for it.

They seem a lot less interested in relationships than when I was their age. That goes for teenagers too.

Yep. I’m even old enough to remember that “being in a relationship” was a huge deal to them.

You don't get out much, do you, and that Uber driver obviously has serious issues (if he even exists, that is).

Men will believe any old crap these days, so no wonder why some struggle.

Thank you for your feedback @nikki1989. I guess I shouldn’t believe the hard statistics I posted about either. After all it’s all just hard data. But let’s all pretend those statistics do not exist.

Also this question was flagged by a moderator on Sunday night but reinstated today. Now you wouldn’t know anything about that now would you?

But hey I guess I am completely wrong and just another deranged “incel”. I mean women must be truly happier today then ever, right? Curious why it would be worth your time to argue with it, mock me or heaven forbid flag this for “trolling”.

It’s either all nonsense or maybe just maybe I’m touching on a deep nerve somewhere and we are all supposed to ignore the ugly truth of modern feminism has really done to society.
