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'.

$800,000 to $999,000 is high 6-figures...
Don't you put your crap on me! You own your shitshow.
Mine cost me $1.5m Worth every damn' penny.
Made most of it back in the last four years and it's all mine.
Ok, not that high, lol
Oh the good ones are out there including a lot of Christian Southern Belles, beautiful on the inside as well as the outside.
I’m not worried about it. I’ll just go with life’s flow and if it happens it happens. If not , then as Paul the Apostle says, “I would that all men were even as myself (unmarried)” (1 Cor. 7:7). (And a caveat, “Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman her own husband” for “if they cannot contain, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn” (vs. 7:1, 9).
Depending on what kind of man someone is, if he is a happy and healthy guy, then marriage would hopefully be an opportunity to love some he cares for, not a means of dealing with uncontrollable urges and needs.
But for me, especially in this day and age, I’d rather be like Paul and take his advice, “It is better for a man not to touch a woman” (vs. 7:1), and “He that is unmarried cares for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord...that he may attend to the Lord without distraction” (vs. 7:1, 32, 35).
I have found since separating from my wife, more serenity and peace and joy with a greater sense of the Lord’s presence. It’s been pretty cool. We’ll see how it all plays out.
“And my GF knows it. Keeps her in line”
If what you say is true your GF is only dating you for the free dinners and your car. That’s some sad chit. 😅
There's much to be said about the competition for good men, with women at her age and men at mine.
There's far fewer quality, available men than there are women. That's a fact. Any man would be a fool to not know that and use it to his advantage.
Yeah, I get you don't like that, thus the insult. Must really suck to be you.
Ain't that the truth. See the immediate replies above for an example.
:)
Wow, this subject must have hit a nerve. Look how many responses.
Very little said about this but it is a pretty big deal in our culture.
Rule #1: Stay below the Crazy/Hot line.
Rule #2: Enjoy life.
Rule #3: Read Rule #1 and #2 again.
“Very little said about this but it is a pretty big deal in our culture.”
My opinion is borrowed from Rush who spoke about it decades ago on one of his shows. I never forgot it.
Feminist organizers (commies) realized that it was necessary to break down the family unit.
They began to manipulate the American women by telling them how put-upon and abused they were by “just” being homemakers and stay-at-home mothers. The women said, “Hey! Yeah! I want equality!”
They demanded to join the workforce. Great for the employers. Before this, they paid the employees — mostly men — a wage decent enough that they could support a family well. When women showed up they began in lower positions making some money, but not a lot. And, since the wives had these incomes to supplement the home, employers could get away with paying men less.
Women got all harsh, brash, and competitive with the men. It created an adversarial environment at work and at home.
Great for the men, too, because they didn’t have to be responsible for providing for the family, i.e., their job, per Scripture. It took a load off. Sadly, most men don’t realize they’re feminists because they expect their wives to take on the provider role. (And a lot of them are the ones bitching and moaning about how terrible women are now.)
Because of this, women lost their softness, propriety, and kindness. Their kids don’t have a clue what a real mother is.
Anyhow, my opinion, mostly borrowed from Rush.
He was a wise man.
Some guys just can’t be replaced.
Rush was one of them.
The modern woman who is looking to settle down after she’s worked her way through her fill of hunky bad boys is a prospective husband’s BANK ACCOUNT. They check for home ownership, jobs and debt and income. Many of them run credit checks, IMO.
There wouldn’t be that old adage, “Marry the richest man you can stomach,” otherwise.
Also what followed was the bloody infanticide of tens of millions unborn babies. Tragedy beyond belief.
That right there tells you where the source of the Women’s’ Movement really comes from - the pit of hell.
A lot to be said about this and you’ll see on my post history I’ve said a lot, much to the consternation of many, both women and men - with a few in agreement.
Women like bad boys, men, not nancy boys.
The “abusive lazy bums” don’t dream of being married and rescued from their own situation, and cry on the internet about not being married.
Because marriage largely benefits only one side of the relationship, and it isn’t the mans’ side.
“Because marriage largely benefits only one side of the relationship, and it isn’t the mans’ side.”
Based on my personal experience with friends and family, when a spouse dies the remaining widower is remarried in within a year. If it’s a remaining widow she rarely remarries. I know it’s not scientif, but only my observation.
I know that when my dad died in 2008, my mom’s life began. Ditto with my aunt. Guys I know, both widowers and divorcees, have remarried quickly. They must not hate marriage too much.
