re: Majority of single women are having trouble finding a partner who fits their standard

The difference is personality used to get you in the door AND hook them. You can’t get in the door with personality now because looks are the door. In addition, your windows for making an impression with your personality are WAY smaller, so your chances of being memorable compared to her literal army of suiters is smaller.
If an alien read your posts in this thread they’d be led to believe women don’t go out of their house for normal social activities since the inception of dating apps.
Is it different? Of course, but it still ain’t that hard. The women on bumble and hinge still go do shite other than go out with hinge dates. And I can assure you, 99% of them would still rather meet someone in person.

I’m not sure what the problem is here. Yall are acting like there wasn’t a pecking order before bumble or some shite
The problem is that 80% of single men are no longer in that pecking order even for the bottom 10% of women.
You probably have a higher % of men in relationships/ married that single women choose before the 80% group of single guys.

They go out literally 30% as much as they did 10 years ago. That’s my point. And that 30% is much more likely to be a planned date/girls activity where they’re not exactly “approachable”. That’s the point. That’s exactly what I am getting at. If you, as a guy, want to compete, you have to work way harder, fight off more suiters, and be way better than at any point before in modern western history. The statistics reflect this reality.

Mingo has the ultimate strike against him so I figure his advice is pretty good if he’s actually reeling in women

I was over 50 and over 60 and single.
I didn't ever have plans to be single, but He had other plans.
I found women were more than willing to date and they were attractive and well-educated, and financially secure.
I was pretty selective and honest with them from the beginning. I assumed my experiences were typical, but I guess not. Obviously, it helped that my marriages were loving, sucessful unions.
I wasn't a fan of dating randoms, although I did it a few times. I was surprised at how quickly sex could happen as it wasn't that way in my 20s and 30s. I guess they figured time is running out.
I loved being married and I am again.

Thank you. I’m a short autist and I can pull poon, what should that tell you?

No, that’s not it. I’m telling you. Gen Z straight up doesn’t go out in public at the same rates that millennials did at the same ages, and WAY less than gen x did. They’re literally NOT in public to the same extent. I have a LOT of zoomer friends. There’s been a lot of research into this. This isn’t an old man yelling at clouds. This is major societal shifts caused in large part by massive financial pressures.

Better good bourbon, and if so, why the OFs?

If you’re trying to date college aged girls you got bigger problems

I’m trying to date women in their mid-late 20’s/early 30’s. But I’m around the demographic dating younger enough to see what is going on. Almost none of the guys are dating, and they’re normal guys. They’re not weird autists, reasonably fit, mostly normal hobbies, extraverted. You can’t choose to keep your head in the sand, but something is VERY wrong.
Just like the cost of living crisis, just like jobs, just like inflation, a lot of things are providing extremely difficult headwinds for young people, and blaming people for noticing is unproductive.
Conventional advice like “hit the gym” and “just ask them out” definitely doesn’t hurt, but it’s just papering over the reality that something isn’t working like it used to. Just like advice “just major in engineering to get a job unlike those sissy humanities degrees”. You start noticing that even the engineers can’t find jobs post-graduation, that’s how you know the job market is cooked, and something needs to change.
Saying that you need to step up and be exceptional is true, but it completely ignores the fact that you barely even had to be average in the past to get the same result. It takes extraordinary effort now to achieve the same results which were once the entitled standard of the barely above bare minimum.
THAT is the problem.

Don’t underestimate the affect of accessibility of pron & gambling. As a guy who has been burned a couple times, golf, gambling & pron is a lot more fun in my free time rather than chase after unrealistic women.
A COUPLE? Jesus, dude. That’s all it took for you to say, “Welp, I’ll just stick with the porn and gambling.” I had my heart broken by a guy before I met my husband. It happens, but you get back out there. If you’re a young man, you seriously need your arse kicked by someone who loves you because just checking out because of a couple of bad experiences is bullshite.

Well, yeah, the one dude had two bad experiences, so he’s just staying home with his porn and online gambling. WTH.
