Number of 'lonely, single' men is on the rise as women with higher dating standards look for partners who are are 'emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values', says psychologist
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 15, 2022 | Jessica Green

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'.

Well now, I have a few lines on my face so I don’t mind a few lines on a woman’s face, same with callased hands. Time and place for boots and work gear. You lookin’ for go or for show? Most of the women that I show can really go. As for me, the older I get the less tolerance I have for horse puckey, male or female.

“The Women’s Movement is the reason.”

Yes.

“The modern woman now weighs what the average man in the 1950s weighed. Then factor in the lower height difference. And then factor in fat is 5 times more voluminous than muscle.”

And every modern man is an Adonis?

Someone on a previous thread pointed out that women aren’t necessarily attracted to the bad boy types because of their badness, but because women are attracted to self-confidence in a man.

Wouldn’t the self confidence, shown by a white American man, otherwise be known by leftists, as toxic masculinity? Maybe bad boys, who show their “self confidence,” aren’t worried, about whether or not anyone thinks they have toxic masculinity. As I previously mentioned, men, especially white American men, have been so marginalized by society, maybe many have no desire to show self confidence. I don’t know, what do you think?

“They want a man for his utility. Money, physical security, and fixing things and doing all the crap they don’t want to do.”

It’s part of the natural order, and the way the genders were created. Men are supposed to take care of the women.

“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” I Tim. 5:8

If a guy resents a woman wanting a husband who will provide for her, and he won’t provide for her, he’s worse than an a sinner.

That is a presumption without foundation:

Personally, I am a lifelong teetotaler, and was never a player.

I am perfectly comfortable that, based on that, my condemnations of drunkenness and hooking up are non-hypocritical.

Living a life that seems longer is not living a longer life. I have to correct you on that.

And the boys they rejected, because they didn’t have much money in their twenties, are after the girls in their twenties.

Or they are living the exploratory life the girls lived in their twenties and won’t be wanting marriage firbat least ten years.

“Washed up whores with other guys babies do not wife up well.”

Just as abusive lazy bums who’ve abandoned their babies do not husband-up well.

The alphas are too busy want as much as they are offered. They often don’t marry until they are in their 40’s.

Yep, happy with my lovely Latina - here in North Jersey, most of the white women are Karens who drive their husbands crazy in the most negative of ways.

I saw a comment on Sigma males. I think Signa makes are either divorced makes who had a really bad experience in divorce court or they might be Beta males who finally came into their own, but learned to not bother because their first real relationships will be like starting on the 75th yard line.

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?


Women are only 68% as single as men. This needs to be addressed immediately.

Awesome! It’s kind of tragic because most young men are stuck with the local pool of women. My son, back in High School, related a story where he sat next to a group of girls and they started swearing like drunken sailors casually talking to each other. We had just given him the “Only tramps casually swear” speech. He said it was pretty normal for all of the girls he met at school.

for ever, western men have entertained the thought that only women that look like a barbie doll are “good enough” for them...
thus, many good women will never marry nor have children....and many men will never marry and never have children.....

and then we wonder why the white population is diminishing...


Not forever. Look at pictures of the past and you will see women with a nice pair of eyes teamed with men strong arms. In other words people without much attractiveness pairing up.

I have been watching brit box . Nice to see normal people.

Me too. Why is divorce so expensive? Because it's worth it! LOL.
