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'.

When I was single after me first wife died very young, I found that most women didn’t really give you must time to make an impression. I wasn’t Hollywood but I was not hard on the eyes; I wasn’t Bezos, but I had a job, but I was a good communicator and somewhat of a romantic. If they had really taken the time, they would also have found out that I loved to cook, did laundry, enjoyed gardening and wasn’t averse to watching a good rom-com. But I didn’t own a Beemer and don’t live in the right neighborhood. So, they weren’t interested in putting out much effort. One or two dates and they moved on.
When I met my present wife, 26 years ago, she was just reentering the social scene after taking care of her parents. We took our time and got to know each other. She was blown away the day I cooked breakfast after cleaning up the kitchen. I told her I had done all the cooking in my first marriage. The first time she got sick, I put her to bed, made her some hot tea and stayed the night (in a separate bedroom) to care for her and the dog. Again, blown away. Over time she found out about all the other ‘unicorn’ traits I came with. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary tomorrow.
It takes time to get to know someone and I don’t think most young people have the patience to do the due diligence anymore. They want instant gratification and with that you get superficiality not longevity.
I’m 61.
And yeah, I’m screwed up a bunch but I’m comfortable with it. I’m disability retired from the Army so I’m financially stable. All in all, life is good.
Since men in general, and white men in particular, have been emasculated and totally marginalized by the left wing, liberal, socialist, pinko commie geeks in America, I have thought it will be white women, who will come to the rescue. There will be others too, like Candace Owens and Michelle Malkin. 👍
The hubby and I met in Boston 24 years ago, and realized there was magic there when we were on the phone one evening and the subject of politics arose. I’m not sure what triggered it, but we both said, at the same time,
“You hate Hilary Clinton TOO???!!!”
I’d only dated soy boy liberals by that point, and had kept my political views very quiet — especially in Boston.
But when we realized we were both right leaning singles in a very blue city (and he was the only right-leaning member of his family) we knew it was meant to be.
Happily married, have a beautiful daughter, and have weathered some crazy storms.
And have become more Christ-centered over the years, as well.
And one of our dates involved harrassing Al Gore in downtown Boston.
Good times...
59 years with my wife. I’m thinking it might just work out.
Women want men who are 6’-0” or taller, college educated and have a $ubstantial net worth. That is about 5% of the unwed male population.
My advice? Go Asian young man.
True. Women say they want beta BFF sensitive guys, but they want masculine men, with options, who tend to keep them in line.
The funny thing is that, although most men are not going to be 6’0 tall, most of them are capable of generating good incomes if the woman is willing to be a helper in shaping her man.
They want a man ready to go and not a man who can become a desirable man in 5 years.
Unfortunately, they expect men to do all the work in the relationship. If you refuse, there's 100 simps behind you waiting to serve her.
NEXT!
Q: Why is divorce so expensive?
A: It’s worth it!!!
Ha! 90% of the modern young women now are not fit for marriage material. Modern Women have been so misconditioned now they bring only hell on earth. Vile, Nasty, Greedy, Vindictive. Any good guy is going to be terrified of them.
He was right, her teeth are bright and pearly and her hair is black as jet, except I was Air Force, not Navy. My biracial son is a USAF pilot, and never cared about any affirmative action to get ahead. He got where he is, because he can fly. 🤪🤭
I pretty much don’t date American chicks. I swore them off a long long time ago. Feminism did not infect a lot of women outside of the West. They believe in equality yes, but the man hating and the wanting to be just like a man aspects just never made it elsewhere.
I believe 40% of women are on psychotropic drugs, which means 60% are going untreated..
Women just don’t think the same as men do, and I must admit I find that very helpful a lot of the time. And a man with the same interests as say, Mrs. BCC would love movies, art shows, girl parties and their birthdays and ME!
It’s a buyers market and you’re a hot commodity.
[they tell me]
They tell you correctly. Davao is a paradise, if one is looking for a wife. 😀😂😆
This sounds like leftist women telling men, “be what we want you to be.”
No thanks. I’d much rather remain single.
Glad to hear u feel well. Best wishes to you.
