I would ingrain in myself the idea that inside almost every woman, even those raised by dipshits in a devolving, materialistic, shallow, “feminist” (though not really beneficial to or protective of women) society, there is the making of a good woman who will be by my side and walk through life with me as we take on the challenge of living in this world.
I’m sorry, but I think that’s a rather naive viewpoint to have in 2023.

There are a few good women out there. Most of them were damaged by someone else and learned from it. You have to take the good with the bad. Unfortunately, you are looking for what I call the "1%". After a few years, I was lucky to find one. It wasn't easy and I went through a lot of shallow, entitled women in the meantime.

How does the male get screwed when we don’t even know what a male is?

Most guys do not find that attractive.

Optimistic, maybe. But I don’t think human nature has changed, and I believe men and women were made for each other.
The other side of what I said is that the man in question has to be realistic about the “battlefield” he’s facing and understand that he will have to demand as much or more from himself as he does from a woman. Meaning you probably can’t just do like your grandpa did and basically fall into a 70 year marriage with an old-fashioned girl from your hometown. You will have to work on yourself.
I may be naive, but I think a young man who takes care of himself, doesnt give into the temptations of the age, works for a living, etc, will still be able to find a good woman.

I don’t see the problem. If I could go it again I probably wouldn’t. But to be fair, if you make real good money and can get constant nookie all the time why get married.?????
I’d like to see the socio-economic breakdown. I’m guessing most are lower class with kids. They aren’t living the dream single life. Their situation is far from ideal, and a result of a life full of bad decisions.
Sure there are male professionals that never found the right person to tempt them enough to give up their independence, or career driven women that might have unrealistic expectations, but most people in their 40’s that never married have problematic issues going on in their lives.

Real men have no use for masculine, InstaTHOT, OnlyFans type women.
My daughter, who just graduated with a bachelor's degree in Finance, started a job two weeks ago. She had a roommate who left college in her sophomore year and became a "social media influencer". Unsatisfied that she wasn't earning a six-figure salary as a "social media influencer", she opened an Only Fans account and, according to my daughter's recounting of a conversation she recently had with her ex-roommate, the girl is pulling down over $25k a month.
So I asked my daughter if making that kind of money was that easy, was that something she would ever do. She responded, "I don't want to marry the kind of man that would think me earning a living like that is acceptable, that's why. That's not how I was raised. And I know her parents. They probably don't know what she's doing. They just think she's a social media influencer."
Made me even more proud of her than before.

Depending on where you are, you hit “the wall” in the singles scene to where your choices are divorcees and single mothers for the most part.
It’s a real thing in the BR area simply because there aren’t a lot of white collar professionals here in their 20s and 30s, so if you haven’t grabbed one by the time you are about out of college you will be finding one who spent a lot of time riding the cock carousel.
This is less an issue in a lot of huge metro areas like Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, etc, where there are a lot of young professionals out there.

Sounds like your daughter wants a husband to be the breadwinner.

I think the bigger issue is men and women aren't learning how to coexist together in healthy ways. Our society has destroyed complementary gender norms and weakened the role of the nuclear family.
The problem is straightforward really.
Women are now "empowered" more than ever, it has its benefits and costs, and one of the costs of their new mindset is relationship prospects.
Women have been given more roles traditionally occupied by men yet haven't adjusted their relationship choices.
Over the same period that women have been elevated, male roles have been reduced and to aid women even further male roles are sometimes even outright demonized and deemed "evil".
The fact is both male and female roles are very different now, and the "culture deciders" have reasons for promoting Women in the way they are promoted.l
A man's career choices are independent of marriage data. How do we know? All of human history.
Men of all social classes have married for generations.
Women, as they become more career oriented marry less. We know this because females have been growing in education and in the workforce over the last 70 years.
Now that women actually outnumber men in college...birthrates and marriage rates are at their lowest in history.
Men have not changed much, they've been cut down to benefit women. Just look at hiring practices, college admissions, the innumerable "women in STEM" campaigns.
Notice every "scientist" or "computer whiz" in TV shows and movies are women? If you pay attention long enough you'll notice this.
Men are not anymore career oriented than any era, but their opportunities are split with women.
Women have fewer kids and get married less if they have college degrees and careers. Not true of men, at all. Men of all social class and education have married.
Male dominated societies have high rates of marriage and high birth rates.
Female dominated societies result in no marriage and no children.

i'm very torn on only fans. not that i think it's good, but the porn industry is a freaking monster that has allowed for way too many abuses and underage girls for a long time.
OnlyFans kinda lets the "stars" do their own thing and make the most money without as many middlemen and from my understanding, they do their best to vet the ages of their "creators."
i'm wholly against porn. it's very bad, full stop, but i do feel like OF gives the women way more agency. your daughter's friend may or may not be making $25k a month from it, but i'd wager that would put her in the top 1% of porn stars salaries over a year and if she's just posting pics or videos of herself... then she's eliminating a lot of the gross stuff.

I’m not. If I had a daughter, I would be very disappointed to find out she was doing OnlyFans. I get your point about porn, but I think OnlyFans puts them on a slippery slope.

Idk about this, the loser men incels seem to be like this.
Most of us just want a chick thats not plastic or ruined her body with tats. small tits? who cares, big tits? thats fine too.
Why do you think amateur porn and all that stuff makes a killing? Dudes prefer normal-looking chicks. not frankentits with pounds of makeup.

Proliferation of promiscuous women means its not necessary for men to "buy the cow" in order to obtain "free milk".

They diced it by gender, race and education. They should have done it by income and weight too.
There's gotta be a huge correlation with heavy women and broke men not getting married.

Don't you find it weird that even during the great depression marriage rates were still really high?
Broke men have existed for ages...they still got married.
Why now is a broke man such an issue and why is it an issue when women are now more high earning than ever?
Broke men are not the problem, female expectations have changed the game.
