OP trust me I’ve mentioned similar studies and gotten cursed out for fact checking this shyt for years. In fact, most of the stuff you read about women on this site doesn’t correlate to reality and when you literally bring years of studies out refuting it, some get defensive and start insulting you personally.
“Feminist, man-hating, asian fukking, black bytch!”
But…BUT what you’ll find is that it actually isn’t most posters. Just the miserable ones.
The real answer as to why some men in society are are preoccupied with the fearmongering “old cat lady” scare tactic is because for many that’s the last dying bastion of hope they have of scaring chicks into getting with them or getting revenge if chicks . COURSE women deal with being single better than men.
Since the beginning of time. Since women were left during warfare. Since dudes went to the store for cigarettes. Since nunneries. Since becoming widowers. Since forever. Why? Because as countless studies have demonstrated, we tend to be a bit better at forming social bonds beyond just sexual ones than men do. It’s key for our survival.
But instead of acknowledging that fact, some men take any admission of women’s ability to not commit that if they don’t marry anybody as an indictment of marriage and relationships.
It’s the weirdest shyt in the world and it’s just plain silly. Great relationships are great but not every chick has to be in one to live a fulfilling life. And you need be comfortable with yourself whether you are single or in a relationship. But some dudes NEED women to feel some kinda way, especially as they confront their own vulnerability b/c some hope that women will finally get punished for the dubious crime of not wanting one of them growing up.
People gotta stop wanting women to be punished in their twilight years for not falling in line with somebody else’s plan for their lives.
“Oh I hopin them twerking bytches die alone!”
Why? Besides which, there are shyt tons of widowers with kids in old folk homes right next to those never married ones…
They gotta stop it with the copium.
lol. Married men live longer thotrue but women shorten mens lives like a steph curry swish
I've seen studies that suggest the opposite though - that generally speaking, married couples (both men and women) are happier than single people.Your personal feelings mean nothing against hard facts. Single women do much better in life than single men. They are healthier, live much longer, happier, and are more content with their social circle than men. Several studies report this and I posted a couple in the OP.
Presenting your perspective as facts doesn’t make it true.
I would agree with you if it were maybe 50 years ago, but single women of today are by and large choosing to be. They see men as burdens, which is unfortunate. But again, the studies support this.
And you don’t see women buying sex and companionship at the rates men do at all.
Men have created a world where it’s so comfortable that women have the option of being alone, men have to build value, that comes with more work and less leisure, which means more wear and tear/neglect of physical/mental health, no one is coming to save us and we know that.Your personal feelings mean nothing against hard facts. Single women do much better in life than single men. They are healthier, live much longer, happier, and are more content with their social circle than men.

I don't think the concern is fake. They're just expressing it differently than women would. And I think they've actually figured out a possible way to combat it.
The jokes are cope, much like the modern western woman's wine addiction.
Why can’t two guys just enjoy being guys!Keep your homies close then
idk where I’d be without the brehs
It’s 100 percent how we cope, when you see other dudes experiencing the same thing it makes us feel like we ain’t crazy, it is what is tho so you gotta adaptI'm tired of the gender wars, but I can see why the OP and others felt the way they did about that thread. It was an echo chamber of brehs saying the same things they always say in those threads. And a variation of that thread is made every other week, with the same comments every time. It does come off as if some brehs have weird obsession/fantasy of "modern women" being miserable and depressed over 40, because she doesn't have a man (and I'm not saying that there aren't women in that exact position because there are, but there are women who aren't too and it's something that some brehs just have a hard time acknowledging). But rarely in those threads do brehs talk about what it means for them, and about the fact that they are in the same boat as those women. It's as if it ruins the fantasy to talk about that.
What I do agree with is that it does feel like those threads are the ways some brehs cope. We're in an era where a lot of men don't feel wanted or needed by women, marriage is on the decline, cost of living is increasing and making it hard on both groups to live their lives, let alone date, and where there are less relationships and less sex being had (well that one I guess pertains more to men but still), where dating has become increasingly more difficult, where people are more socially awkward than ever, and where people are also relying too much on social media and the internet for social skills and to form opinions, learn and get advice--it's not healthy. All of it combined is breeding insecurities and frustrations and that's mostly the tone I get in those threads, I feel that there are brehs that are trying to cope with a world where genuine relationships feel less accessible and where they feel there's more challenges dating women than in the past.
I think women cope with dating challenges by getting sex toys, friends, traveling, drinking and saying fukk men. at some point when they recognize that they can't find the man of their dreams, they either will settle, or they won't and will eventually make peace with it (or try to anyway). Women are able to express their emotions and vent about it with each other though--and I don't know that men are able to do that. So I think some just turn what they're feeling inside on to women and go into tirades or make threads asking about women's fate and what not and it's not exactly healthy but I do get that it's a way of coping.
I said this in the other thread, but both groups are going to have similar fates, unless they work on getting the relationships, friendships, network needed to avoid it.
The OP came through with sources and reports to back up her points, and there are even brehs in here acknowledging that her points are valid too. I'm not seeing anyone counter what she said with evidence. So now we can all admit that things are not looking great for men in the future either.
so I guess the question at this point is now that that we're talking about this issue and what it means for BOTH groups, what now? I'm interested in what you said in the bolded.
I'm upset this wasn't a 'single men become radicalized and act out terrorist attacks thread
I know it is. I honestly do feel sad for both groups, because desiring human companionship is natural--wanting to be with someone and be in love and feel valued by that person is natural. I don't think it's natural for us to be alone. I think we're in a strange place in society right now--where a lot of things are being challenged and where people are really isolated and don't know what to do. I'm just wondering if we're headed in the same direction as Japan. I've said before but I've seen shows where people start to have relationships with avatars and AI/robots. You get people desperate and lonely enough lol and I see people embracing that.It’s 100 percent how we cope, when you see other dudes experiencing the same thing it makes us feel like we ain’t crazy, it is what is tho so you gotta adapt
