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'.

My work hates me; my animals defecate on my bed; I’m short, fat, and stupid; I smell slightly of urine and spoiled milk; and I’m still a virgin.

A lot of very very tainted thirtysomething women, after a decade of being drunken hoes, want to be courted as though they were untainted.

Meanwhile, thirtysomething guys spent the decade becoming prosperous, and therefor can draw the interest of twentysomething women who haven’t ruined themselves.

I almost had a shot with her. We were going to go on a double-date with 'Deep In the Hurtgen Forest' with his lady.

They’d rather be a hanger-on to a desirable man than be married to somebody they could turn into a desirable man.

I notice the absence of articles about men expressing their disappointment about single women.

“Bull crap. These lonely men need a heavy dose of toxic masculinity and general competence.”

Overheard at a restaurant just last weekend, a group of women, some married and some single, but late 30’s, early 40’s, and heard:

- All I wish is for him to pick up after himself (married)

- No, I need domestic help, cooking, laundry and maybe an occasional shoulder rub and a “how was your day?” (married)

Is that too much?

Followed up by:

- I could go for a man doing all the cooking and all the cleaning, but he needs to be educated and have a good job too -— Oh, and a he has to have a skilled tongue and not be afraid to get down there and use it. (single)

I had to turn around and look at who was talking at this point, which they all saw and then broke out in laughter.

I had a smart ass retort ready to go too, but damn, she was gorgeous. Good luck sweetheart!

I could write one today, but it would never get printed.
Haha

I think most single men could write that article, but it would never get printed.

Yeah but when Eschoir joins in, it's all worth it.

He'd always ask if we ever committed sodomy.

The article says more men than women are single. I looked up the percentage of men & women in the country, and it’s 50% men and 50% women.

So how can more men than women be single?
