Recent study finds that 60% of men under 30 are single due to social media and the internet

That defeatist mindset sounds like a personal problem, not a 'society' problem.

The more he talks, the more he exposes himself, it never fails

 

[AAKing23]

Thats actually the problem

Dudes dont want baddies. They want regular degular women from around the way. Problem is a lot of these girls want to he baddies or hang around baddies and get influenced by them

You arent in the field clearly

I dont know a single dude personally who goes after IG chicks lol. Wed even prefer if women dont have IGor have a private profile

You old heads are ignorant

Just gonna re-quote my own posts in this thread from 2 years ago.

Exactly down to the tee breh, that’s why these threads be so long, a circle jerk of nikkas bragging about themselves and kicking nikkas that’s down already

It’s amazing how the logical inconsistency plays out in these threads.
One minute these nikkas are timid, fragile and lacking in confidence and masculinity but at the same time these same nikkas become the ones that suddenly have the confidence to only approach IG models while ignoring all the girls in the middle, such bullshyt lol

Too much is going on these days to disregard @Ohene point if your aren’t actively dating right now.

Took me a second but things are drastically different from 5 years ago let alone if you have been out the game longer than that

that's all i'm saying breh.

I can only speak for myself. Do I adapt? Of course. Do I compete? Naturally. Even still, it doesnt get you that far with how things are nowadays. I aint saying that men are right to sulk and give up etc. But simply put the juice often isn't worth the squeeze.

People will say, work on yourself, get money, go to the gym, find a better job etc. And I agree; the thing though is

A) society doesnt work that way. Not everyone is genetically blessed or capable of being the cream of the crop
B) the women demanding that usually aint anything special themselves.

Dudes have seen those pop the balloon clips...kevin samuels clips and still have the gall to think shyt is sweet out here. LOL if you havent experienced being single and dating in the last 2-3 years then you cant speak on these matters

They aint in the field.
It's always easy to tell who actually goes out and interacts with modern single women versus who is just being idealistic.
I know plenty of successful, financially secure, good looking, charismatic men who have the same complaints.

You must live in Hollywood or something.

If that's the case dudes need to either move or get their money up. But your experience ain't what the average guy experience outside of your bubble.

He lives in Toronto breh
That's just one example, one celebrity.

I live in LA and it's the same thing with Chris Brown and a thousand other celebrities and athletes. Not even mentioning CEOS, rich entrepreneurs, Youtubers, streamers, politicians, influencers, etc. Even before IG made this game global social media sites like Myspace and Facebook made it easy for top dudes (which is something different to every woman) to eat heavy. Also allows dudes to get at women they wouldn't usually run into in real life which takes the concept of sneaky links to a new level. Yall didn't even mention sugar babying, so some of these women selling p*ssy to a Coli breh that got rich off crypto or a random cac that makes 300k doing petroleum engineering.

It doesn't mean normal dudes can't eat cuz there are other factors like proximity, social skills, looks, charisma, etc. Celebrities shoot their shot with normal woman all the time and get blocked or rejected, even Leonardo DiCaprio takes Ls. There are baddies who aint fukking him who would fukk Timothee Chalamet or stay with their broke 22 y/o bf and he gotta accept that. It does mean it's chaos out here and many people will fall through the cracks.

Y'all using extremely outliers as if that's the norm. That's the problem with these studies.

I read that and was trying to figure out why he was still keeping the shirt. Did he wish it was him in the situation instead of the chic

 

[Scaaar]

You keep deflecting and taking a combative stance, I AGREE WITH YOU that the modern dating market is wild and yes it has impacted women but where we disagree is that men are powerless victims, increased difficulty does not absolve men of responsibility

You claim to be able to get women, if that is so then offer solutions to those that can't, rather than offering patronizing sympathy. so again, do you have any solutions?

That's my issue with it too. Everyone knows the rules on the board have changed. But the same people that talk all that alpha/pill/masculinity talk are the biggest ones complaining instead of making the adjustments. All this woe is me talk and "why do I gotta be better why can't she just want less talk" is crazy. But I'm a firm believer that for every dude that's complaining there is a chic that was around them that loved their dirty draws and was throwing it at them but they turned it down because she didn't look the way he wanted her to. That's all dating is in a nutshell. Like the people that like you. But everyone feels they're entitled to folks that don't like them should be with them too.

You get it. I think a lot of men and women get too caught up in a fantasy or just trying to impress people instead of being happy with what they have and not treating them like shyt.

It’s a clean tshirt
I wear it around the crib every now and then just like any other shirt. Why can’t i keep it?

Yeap they're saying on one hand they are done dating and dealing with these women. But at the same time complaining about dating still. Pick a side on the fence either you're done with the dating pool or you're still in the water. But that defeatist attitude definitely isn't helping with attracting women lol

Real shyt
I'm guilty of this dumb shyt and I bet a lot of dudes who struggle with women also are guilty of this.

I rejected women who were into me because I was trying to impress my "friends" and I wanted to show them I could pull a baddie.

Life doesn't work that way

I did it too. Especially in high school in college. There were a ton of chicks that were feeling me because I was reserved and focused on my schooling and just kept to myself that I pushed to the friendzone . But I wanted the bad one in the school that everyone else wanted. 1. Because she was fine. 2. Because getting her would show my "friends" that I was that dude. It's the same growth process all dudes go through. It's just that social media has given folks a false sense of how big their dating pool is or where they stack up out here. I don't mind brehs chasing after those chics you just got to accept what comes with it. If you lead with bread to get her don't complain on the back end that you gotta keep spending. The whining annoys me. They say all the chics want to be whined and dined and get knocked down by celebrities but at the same time she's getting dug out by the "pookie" and "ray rays" who ain't doing nothing either. So everyone is hitting her except you. That sounds like a you problem
