First rule of modern dating is what women say they want and the type of men they end up with are completely different. Of course, it is the men's fault for the rise in spinsters. 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 with all the responsibilities that accompany marriage. Or you can stay single and have complete control over your life not living to pay the bills and mortgage. From my experience, married men are the loneliness.

The young women who’ve discussed the matter with me, by the way, appeared to be cleaner living young women themselves. I don’t pay much attention to the other kind. ;)

"They prefer men who are emotionally available..."

What does that mean anyway? Easily manipulable?

It's not that women are looking for those line items. It's that dating these days has become corrupted by social media -- in particular apps like Tinder.

To someone on those apps, there's always (in their mind) someone better just behind the next swipe. It leads to a vapid, meaningless, and joyless attempt at finding a partner. The best thing they could do is simple...

Before online dating existed, I couldn’t get anyone. Once online dating became a thing I found myself in higher demand. Really evened the playing field for those who didn’t have a good “in-person game” and were too socially awkward to be pickup artists.

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 with higher dating standards look for partners who are are 'emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values' willing to pay off my student loans.

Fixed it.

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.

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.

This sounds like leftist women telling men, “be what we want you to be.”

No thanks. I’d much rather remain single.

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'

I'd bet a good number of those women with "higher dating standards" are pretty lonely themselves and will remain so until those higher standards get cut down to size by reality.

Emotionally unavailable is the province of womyn

A canard

They don’t want that as much as shrinks say they do

It makes them vulnerable

Like women are better parents or better at taking care of old parents

Strongest emotion in women is fear

Both not true in my observations of 65 years

The Bible writers knew women

Find a smart, conservative Christian woman. She wants her man to be a man and will respect his authority as head of the household.

My husband and I just celebrated 32 years together. I love him more than the day I married him because he is not just my husband, he is the father of my children. I would kill for him, die for him, and he for me.

My son is getting married in January to a young lady who is a rock-solid conservative Christian like me. She loves that he is a manly man like my husband.

When your values align, divorce is the last thing on your mind (after alien invasions and dinosaurs erupting from the core of the earth).

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.
