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'.

They are looking for some Hollyweird definition of a man.
The second strike is the unicorns they are looking for are not in the places women go to meet men. They will never find them - one, they do not exist; - and two, even if they did, they are not looking in the right places.
Some of them are evil. But most of them are just screwed up. They entered the field in either a conscious or unconscious attempt to repair themselves.

I’ve met some who tried to be domineering but walked away. Had a college GF who was like that. She was stunned when I moved 1,500 miles away after college. My wife is pure partner and we’ve actually never had a real fight. I just hope my son will meet someone like her.
True. But in the past society kept a lid on unbridled hypergamy and female nature. Today’s gynosociety promtes and encourages this and at the same time demonizes men and often supports the “whatever she did, its the mans fault” to incredibly hypocritical levels.
Where’s a good Yenta when you need one?
Go shopping for a mate in Davao.
It’s a buyers market and you’re a hot commodity.
[they tell me]
Some of the younger gals are horrified of those types of men. They see those guys as heathens. LOL
Most single guys these days are clueless, ignorant d-bags who have no idea how to treat a lady. The concept of chivalry is so far beyond them it’s pathetic.

Oh please, these are not “higher” standards. These are the standard standards of our mothers and grandmothers instead of the “if it feels good, do it” standards of the feminist movement.
Only an desperate idiot would marry an emotionally unavailable Neanderthal that doesn’t share her values.
Married men are not the “loneliest” men. Married men are still in better general health and living longer than unmarried, divorced or never married men. Until that changes, a good wife is still the best thing that ever happens to a man.
Like Triggleypuff?
Cats are going to be in short supply.
I’m happily married.
It sucks being you, apparently.
I will say that these women, who only now are trying to pick better men, would be lost on me, as I expect they chose some men who gave them terrible, incurable, venereal diseases, and I don’t want that coming toward me.
They should have been choosing better, as should have the men.
“The way I look at it as a man, you can get married with a 90% chance of getting divorced or in a loveless lonely marriage”
Perhaps so, but no one FORCES American men to marry American Woman. There are plenty of countries with women who still respect marriage.
“The pickins are pretty slim out there.”
There are always foreign women, too. Most aren’t as pierced, tattooed and slovenly as most American “womyn.”
I have heard that phrase many times and have actually used it. No matter how beautiful and hot looking she is, someone is tired of her S**t.
LOL!!! I’ve seen the Husband Store before, but the Wife Store is new to me.
I recently saw a video featuring Jordon Peterson. He talks about the need for men to be socialized “monsters”. That’s a good thing by the way. It essentially means that throughout childhood, boys learn to control their strength and emotions. It’s done through roughhousing, sports and fights. Men that are highly agreeable are the opposite. They get walked over and taken advantage.
If you want to attract women, don’t be highly agreeable, i.e., a wus.
The PG-13 version is
“Alpha sex, Beta checks.”
Who the hell would want a ‘modern woman’…stay single young man…
I’ve known a few girls who liked bad boys. Several of them are now pushing up daisies due to their choices.
