Dating has become so difficult for young men because women's standards have gone up due to social media/dating apps, and most men cannot meet them. Therefore both parties are unsatisfied with their dating results.

The reason why dating has become so difficult is that women in general have been brought up with an entitlement mentality and also they have been lied to about their value in the sexual marketplace. For the most part, western women have been taught that THEY define their value and that no man should decide their value. The problem with that is they still feel entitled to standards for men, which essentially means that are okay with defining mens value for them and expecting them to partake in their value judgement of them, while simultaneously rejecting any standards that men may have for them. Basically for men, this is like playing a game with someone who not only makes all the rulers but also can change the rules as they see fit. For most men, this is absurd. On the one hand, they want you to love them unconditionally on the other they want you to be a provider and reserve the right to reject you if you aren't or if you cant provide for them. They want you to be fit and attractive but they want you to love them for who they are.

I feel like equally so are the people who spoon feed and accept that behavior. If we had a proper model on how to behave as an individual and learn what was inappropriate then we'd have a better acting society. I agree with what you're saying. I think a large underlying part is that huge societal shift from having common core values to everyone diving into subsections of ideals that are far apart and only stand because you can survive on your own. EX> Being selfish and dishonest are bad qualities in any relationship and in a tight nit community with common core values of honesty and mutual respect any person with negative traits would be punished or moved out. You can't survive, there fore you don't do. But now you can have a job and a nasty anonymous online presence or even open online presence and still not have others around you know that you have these negative qualities. Have all that and still survive. Now we got a culture that desire attention, fame, and money more than anything. However you get it almost doesn't matter. Bad behavior isnt check and sometimes encouraged.

You need to realize what caused many women to become entitled though - simps have created a lot of this .. way too many guys are willing to flood women with endless compliments and money. I’m not saying feminism hasn’t played a part in all of this but men have caused an even bigger part so blame needs to go where it belongs. What’s tragic is I don’t see any way of dialing this back

Well here is what they dont tell you in the news: Women have alot more leverage nowadays because men outnumber women in the dating market in the US. This is due to the unbridled illegal immigration into this country. More than 5 million a year in the last three years since Bidet took office. 75% of the immigrants which are young males. I have personally noticed the impact.

@@CommandoMaster in my own experience, being approached by random people is kind of a guessing game. Some people approach you with an intent of being creepy. Some are wanting to ask you out (and good on you for doing that), others are just lingering, or you can't figure out - so a lot of other women, including myself, are polite or nice by default. because we'd rather try to appease someone than risk a dangerous situation. It's literally just our mindset. Not saying that's a good or healthy mindset, but we're always on guard. Or at least I am. Anxiety with social media definitely afflicts this too. But don't think of it as women pretending to be nice to scorn you or try to mess with you; because it comes from a genuine place of worry I think.

It is a complete mad house out here. I have been sort of artistic for some time. It isn't until I started taking off women are trying to weasel into my life/ many new opportunities. This is completely insane. Only niche success makes me not completely invisible. Insane.

My take is that, it's not as bad as the internet spaces like the manosphere and the incel spaces say. While dating has gotten worse for men, alot of men vastly underestimate the amount of women they can get. There's also still good women out there, but they are a small minority for sure. Maybe 15%? Which is still a great number, 1/7 women you meet are going to have some morals/standards.

that's definitely true. I think the biggest issue for us all now is social media and people romanticizing their lives like it's a movie - because then all our standards will be too high. But yeah. Definitely a tendency. And parents are always going to want 'the best' for their kids, whether it's realistic or not.

16:30 I don’t think men are arguing about meeting their basic needs. That’s understandable. However; it’s not basic, it’s a lifestyle that they want met. Furthermore, upon reaching these difficult qualifications (6 figures, etc), we don’t even get the most bang for our buck. She’s not coming to us in a nurturing role if we are providing and she’s promiscuous. The problem is the west has lost their soul in the pursuit of materialism. Lastly, the odds of divorce are still not in your favor. You can be all of those things and she will most likely leave you (look at Tom Brady, Michael B Jordan). That’s why guys are going elsewhere or checking out. And not all foreign women are gold diggers.

A lot of times, we find that our answers can’t be applied universally which invalidates the argument. I agree men should be capable of providing financially the “basic needs”, but the woman should do her part as well.

Around 7:50 you talk about how, if people were given $100 a day, they'd have no motivation to work. This is interesting because I recently had a similar conversation with a man. He told me about a time when he had inherited a large sum of money and suddenly felt depressed/felt he had no reason to work. It wasn't until he used the money towards purchasing a house (therefore had to work to pay his bills/mortgage again) that he felt "normal" once more. I was surprised, because my perspective of that situation is very different. My friends and I talk about how working would actually be *more* fun if we knew we didn't have to because we're already financially secure (whether that's through inheritance, a spouse paying the bills, passive income, etc). I feel that my work and motivation would actually improve without the stress of knowing that I 'have' to do this. I think it would allow for more creativity, freedom and fun in my work. I wonder if this might be one of the differences between "masculine" and "feminine" perspectives towards work and purpose. Anyway, this video seems like it offers a pretty balanced and nuanced perspective towards the current dating market! Many people who discuss this topic get super emotional/inflammatory and start blaming men or women, so I find your rational and calm perspective very refreshing! I hope more people see this and are able to adopt this more balanced perspective. :)

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Yes I would say that that’s a difference in temperament that’s found between most men and women. I believe most men are more driven by a self overcoming instinct and most women more of a self preservative instinct. If most women feel secure but aren’t actively competing they can still be happy and fulfilled. If most men feel secure but aren’t actively competing they will often feel something is missing.
