Men are lonelier than ever as they struggle to meet the higher dating standards of modern women, according to a psychologist.

American psychologist Greg Matos wrote in a recent Psychology Today article that the current state of young and middle-aged men's love lives shows they need to 'address a skills deficit'.

He said: 'I hear recurring dating themes from women between the ages of 25 and 45: They prefer men who are emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values'.

Single men with brains and experience are becoming very adept at dodging bullets.

"...and share similar values'..."

I know a lot of very happily married couples. I’m talking 30 or 40 year marriages. The common thread is both husband and wife are very serious Christians. Wives are not feminists. Husbands are not players. They have common values and are not selfish. Some of the women work or used to work, but “career” is not their god. Many love being traditional moms, that is a very challenging and interesting job in itself. Especially if you homeschool. Happy marriages are possible. I hate the loneliness that I see out there and I hate feminism for destroying the American family and American young people with its lies.

Here is a funny skit from a few years ago, Allie Beth Stuckey goofs on modern feminist young woman going on a date. Poor guy. https://youtu.be/tokYDVBBgpA

I’m so thankful our son found a sweet young woman who isn’t a woke feminist.

Honestly, that would be one of my questions, as well as asking if they were a Christian.

I’m open to foreign women, but distance is a big problem.

There are so many scammers on the dating sites, that it’s not worth the time to try to find a woman that is not within meeting distance.
Plus who wants to pay a couple of thousand dollars in travel expenses for a first date?
If they aren’t local, I’m not interested.
They can be local foreign women.

My last date was with a Russian woman who I knew from dance class.

Wait...60% can’t marry 20%

You should keep on working. You’ll thank me later.

I don't have to. I have enough to keep me going until my full retirement age and collect the max SS. And that's just savings. I don't even have to touch my 401k until at least 70.

My entire goal at this point is to reduce my taxable income to $0 to tell the IRS to kiss my lily white ass.

[usconservative]

If I were a dude, I’d be super choosy and cautious.

That right there is the smartest response on this thread.

[Mariner]

They don’t want a man.

[usconservative]

Most single guys these days are clueless, ignorant d-bags who have no idea how to treat a lady. The concept of chivalry is so far beyond them it’s pathetic.

I assume you're talking about the youngin's.

Us old farts know how to treat a lady. The problem is, women these days don't want to be treated like lady's. They want to be treated like feminist whores.

Yep, I said it.

I’ve known a few girls who liked bad boys. Several of them are now pushing up daisies due to their choices.

They died doing what they loved.

You guys need to go to Trump rallys. You will meet lots of nice, attractive women. Also I saw on Truth Social they are starting a dating app for conservatives.

Well done Aristotle :)

‘emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values’

Sounds like the ladies are looking for a woman to marry!

[usconservative]

Married men are not the “loneliest” men. Married men are still in better general health and living longer than unmarried, divorced or never married men. Until that changes, a good wife is still the best thing that ever happens to a man.

ROFLMAO!

You know why married men die sooner than single men don't you?

BECAUSE THEY WANT TO!

[usconservative]

I’m happily married.

Be honest now: your wife typed that response for you, didn't she?

[Sparticus]

Fool proof plan for women to get any man:

Show up naked.

Bring beer.

In many cases they need to reverse the order... a lot.

[usconservative]

Wait...60% can’t marry 20%

Math is hard.

[CJ Wolf]

Really? Lol.

“...says psychologist.” Heh, heh. I’m a man, but some young women have told me that they’re each looking for a young man whose maturity is appropriate for his age, had a good upbringing and is in reasonably good physical condition.
