Search Results: single in twenties

I can’t remember the last time I or any of my friends (all in their early twenties or late teens) approached a girl.

I think guys basically don’t approach girls anymore. I can think of plenty of reasons why this has happened: stress (today’s young people are very stressed, which leads to lower sex drive and confidence), the constant criticism of masculinity (masculinity requires support because it’s tough to achieve; without support and celebration, it dies); greater access to and acceptability of the adult industry (which makes being single less painful for men).

I think girls are under the illusion that many guys still approach. It is true that most girls get approached, but it seems to be older men and the small minority of charming, non-pathetic young men who do most of the approaches. Perhaps this is why most girls these days find it difficult to convert a casual relationship into a committed one: there just aren’t enough men making approaches for each woman to have her own man.

Do you agree?
