I don't understand why so many men are single, yet no so for women. WTF is going on?




These "high value men" these chickenheads are seeking are dating multiple women at a time. Some of them are in a relationship in their head while the man is not or at least not with her Women with that mindset want the same type of man when in reality they are not that many men like that out there. In turn them dudes are able to clap multiple cheeks

Seems like the more likely answer is they're dating older men Which wouldn't be a new development


Good point. I still think the 63% doesn’t bode well for the future. If anything I think we can expect to see birth rates continue to decline and this will present labor market challenges.

Without having sample size information, sample size in that age range, and total population numbers, it doesn't mean anything.

Could be much less men reported in that age range. When looking at the overall percentages at 28 and 32, that would be indicative that there are more men than women.

Most zoomer men are incels.

Then who are all these women dating? Women beat men in every age category except >65. By that age, there are even more women than men.

The numbers just don't seem to add up. I think somebody's lying. Either men are saying they're single when they're not, or women are saying they're not single when they are.


...or both.

You're assuming that in a relationship means in a monogamous relationship. Gen Z women who want to date men their own age are increasingly entering into defacto polygamous relationships.

Women are being knowingly or unknowingly haramed by hookup culture. A lot of those women are dating the same guy, both being strung along with no real chance he’ll commit to either of them.

Rhat's your takeaway?


Its a 20 point difference. Statistically thats VERY significant.

The men/women thing is easy...men consider themselves single when dating a woman and not the other way around.

Men - 32%
Women - 28%

Women make up more than 50% of the population. So quite a bit are either lying or their man is dating others girls too.

Not necessarily the same but there are more married women than men ( and this was the case before gay marriage).... This puzzled statisticians so they did research and since wives generally outlive their husbands... Widows still in large percentage considered themselves "married" whereas widowers dont

That's what I'm thinking.

But also many men won't admit they're in a relationship.

Love how men after 18-29 stay constant in the 20-30 percent range while women in their prime years are low percentage but start trending higher after 49.

Basically mens at 50 they’re getting old and fat and bitchy and being traded in for a younger model

Looks like there are alot of single gay men, which makes sense. Might be part of the reason alot of men are single. Depending on where this survey was conducted, 50% of the men surveyed could be gay.

I guess I just find that more interesting than a bunch of poor men who can't find mates.

The question remains: are young adults male searching for mates and having little success or are they not searching for mates at all?

I’m not sure either option is where you want your society tbh

I like the proposition that relatively few males are dating multiple women.

I think that’s more internet fanfiction than reality.

I think our young adults have lost the ability to communicate with one another and that’s why you have seen a rise in parasocial relationships like interacting with Twitch streamers for a form of friendship or by participating on OnlyFans to try and fill the void of a mate and sexual partner. I think it’s a very sad society being facilitated.
