The amount of women that I've come across lately , telling me they lonely and are getting depressed at the possibility of them not forming a family or finding a life partner is heartbreaking.

I think both men and women are going through a loneliness crisis , which sadly gets converted into hate online. These meaningless gender-wars is just a mask to hide behind. When I was going through that bout , I never blamed it on the opposite gender.

You good bro?
My mans is paying $2200 for a 2/2. That's $26.4k/yr just towards rent and not towards a mortgage. No equity, no ownership. No, I'm not good.

A woman that's your financial equal has better options than you. Not saying it can't happen but from that woman's perspective why shouldn't she date up instead of even?

The many men are dating / married to a woman that brought less to the table than they did.
:manny:
-I don't even worry about shyt like this when I talk to women. I've talked about my ex fiance that made more money than me on here before. We started talking again & she makes even more & wants me back.
-All women ain't worried about dating up or even.

I’ll say this as an older breh that got engaged much later……

What you envision for marriage, kids, etc. Will likely change as you get older. You won’t be the same person you were early to mid-30’s. You could very well find someone you are aligned with. And before it’s part of a reply, that person won’t necessarily have some insurmountable amount of issues, baggage, etc.

It’s a real epidemic that has real consequences on society. Everything from mental health to the way the housing market and education is structured will feel the impact. That’s why the surgeon general is concerned about loneliness.

This is a great read:

It sounds hard out here for many brehs.

If your dating life isn't where you want it to be, then take a serious, objective look in the mirror and decide where to start. Maybe it's finances, maybe it's getting in shape, getting off porn and social media to read books, whatever.

There are no shortcuts to self improvement. Whatever you need to change will be hard at first, but will get easier with consistency.

20% of men get 80% of attention. You can boohoo about how unfair that is, or you can work your ass off to become the catch.

I'm really concentrated on myself and my immediate family right now. But imma try a lil harder for romance or at least being more social in 2025.


Really thinking about it. .....

I need to concentrate more on myself. Because continuing to focus on my other relatives is draining.... and causing me to be a homebody.
