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'.

According to this article, and many others like it, whatever women say about men must be true.

The young women who’ve discussed the matter with me, by the way, appeared to be cleaner living young women themselves. I don’t pay much attention to the other kind. ;)

True. But in the past society kept a lid on unbridled hypergamy and female nature. Today’s gynosociety promtes and encourages this and at the same time demonizes men and often supports the “whatever she did, its the mans fault” to incredibly hypocritical levels.

Today's society lies to women and makes them believe they are of higher status/value than they truly are. Unmarried with kids? Divorced or have a ton of notches on the bed post? Not much value, there.

Except, of course, your joke is factually incorrect.

Single men have higher rates of all-cause death and consequently, shorter life expectancy than married men.

Those men that these women desire...are a figment of their imaginations.

There is no accounting for what those “men” want in the article.

People who yell at men to commit should outline exactly what they are yelling at men to commit to.

Key questions need to be addressed.

What do men risk from marriage that is not a risk for women?

What do women get from marriage that men do not get?

My wife and I are the same.

Never a fight. Everything just works out and we want the same or similiar thing or result.

Women want power over a man without accountability to a man.

There is nothing women hate more than men having better options.

"They prefer men who are emotionally available..."

What does that mean anyway? Easily manipulable?

It's not that women are looking for those line items. It's that dating these days has become corrupted by social media -- in particular apps like Tinder.

To someone on those apps, there's always (in their mind) someone better just behind the next swipe. It leads to a vapid, meaningless, and joyless attempt at finding a partner. The best thing they could do is simple...

100 percent, all this “alpha” “beta” bullshit is part of the con.
If your a super macho dickhead your an Alpha.
If you treat people with respect until they prove unworthy of the respect, your a beta.
Makes lots of money on youtube channels though.
Beard boys in wife beaters telling you how to me a “man”.
Freaking hilarious.

Many women spend their twenties drunk and hooking up with random bad boy types.

Those women spend their thirties complaining that good men aren’t seeking to court them as though they were precious flowers.

It’s simple. Just establish at the outset whether republican or democrat. After that, everything will fall into place.

I agree with you. I’m sad to hear freepers being so defeated. Maybe it’s the state/city they live in?

My husband and I (almost 35 years now) this evening were HOWLING with laughter over these parody videos. Sanford and Son replaced by Trump, Hillary, Pelosi etc. oh my gosh. Absolutely hilarious. https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/trump-and-son-comedy-break/

It’s wonderful fun being married to someone like minded when you are on the same page, enjoy the same things and just are kind to each other. I’m very thankful.

Lol, They should take the research further focusing on all the over the hill, miserable, lonely hags in their 50s, 60s and 70s who were picky bitches in their 20s, 30s and 40s. I speak from experience.

All women are evil.

Except for the ones on this forum. Those women are all good.
