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

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'.

By the time these modern women are done riding the cc, they are used up and unable to form a successful pair bond with a guy. All the stuff she did for free with other guys, he won’t get. All the messes she’s made, he’s the beta simp who’s gonna clean it up.

And now they have unrealistically high standards, thinking they are all 10s and see no reason to compromise.

Its all totally laughable.

80% of men are already invisible to women. Their idiotically high standards they must have, price themselves out of the available men.

The exact same thing can be said of women.

Just substitute “woman” wherever you put in “man.”

It’s a two way street and nobody has a corner on the bad marriage and loneliness market.

'share similar values'

In other words, support baby killing.

Lonely men are just men who haven’t been validated enough to realize their worth.

I’d rather spend my time building stuff than trying to be in a relationship with an antagonistic woman. Men need to relearn the art of accomplishment. Getting things done is what really makes most men their happiest.

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

They don’t love men. They love what men do for them.

Seriously? You do that to my family and a male family member would knock sense into you, at the very least.

I check most of the supposed boxes. 6 feet, 185 lb, high 6 figures engineer 2 years from fully funded retirement, own house, have traveled all over the world. Can build and fix cars, electronics, homes. Grow my own vegetables, excellent cook, and despite that I haven’t dated most of my adult life. Generally, if I notice someone she is already married and is going to stay married, or I just was not born with the skill of attracting women or as my mother likes to believe, my soul mate was simply aborted decades ago. I guess I am just going to continue to travel until I keel over. I have signed off all of my trusts and assets to go to charity if I kick the bucket.

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.

Leave these women alone. They are not grown up enough to share their lives.

Another hack reporter that defines men in terms of benefit to women and conflates loneliness with being single, instead of defining the gap between solipsism and reality never narrows.

Well, that leaves more for the real women who can fish, shoot, and change their own tires.

They will be the ones who rebuild this country when its done destroying itself.

That day when Eliza Doolittle turned to Henry Higgins and asked him: “Why can’t a man be more like a woman?”

If I were a dude, I’d be super choosy and cautious.

Our culture and feminism has screwed up women so badly that I am not interested in the slightest in dating. And I have been single for 5 years now and I really like it.

As Napoleon Dynamite put it, “Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills”. So it always has been and ever will be.

That part is inborn woman.
That is part of her creation.

Modern women aren’t marrying anyone until they realize they’ve hit the wall. Sad thing is so many thirsty beta simp cucks are still around enough to bail them out and thinkthey are getting an awesome deal on a worn out, run through ho3.
