Asking "what this thread is" and if the OP was "legitimately serious" is cryptic?
Seems rather clear what I am implying.
If this was satire, I could accept it. As a serious post, this might be the biggest joke of a thread on the C-D forums right now.
I am a man, and I have literally no idea what the OP is talking about. Men as a "forgotten group"...lol, what?
Yes, it's serious. One guy even said women are flourishing while men are out making $10/hr. Are you making $10/hr? I gotta admit, I am flourishing, though.
hahaha don't get mad, what I said is totally true. Yeah I'm sure what a lot of guys write is pretty dumb too. The difference though is women do the picking, not men. It's a hunter vs gatherer thing. With great power comes great responsibility. BUT that is all off topic and will go out of context, I was merely replying to that specific person.
It depends on the market IMO. In NYC, where single women far outnumber single men, it's a man's market. I have some drop dead gorgeous friends who can never find a guy to stick around. There are also a revolving door of beautiful, young women moving in who just want to have fun in their twenties.
A lot of women's problems are simply due to picking the wrong guy, overlooking a lot of guys that only make an average amount of money, or having children that they can't afford out of wedlock. Or having some silly obsession with guys with tattoos that ride motorcycles or something. These are personal decisions they make, not society deciding for them.
You wouldn't believe how many online dating profiles of women where they say some really stupid crap.."love men with tattoos and piercings, rides motorcycles, etc. " I mean, that sounds really stupid for someone that's looking for a guy that will treat them well. It's like seriously, what are you 12 years old?
Could be a regional thing, but I never ran into women profiles that said stuff like that.
Most were either pretty bare (and were basically just their photos - often probably enough to get an overwhelming amount of messages), or they were filled in with lots of helpful information about them. Once in a while, you'd run by a "I'm looking for" or "won't date" kind of profile, and I generally ignored them (anyone with their mind that made up has never been attractive to me).

Same here in OC, but men have the same problems too.
When you have more "options", you can afford to be a little bit picky. It is what it is.

I think a lot of it is that some men feel threatened. The playing field is being leveled and men are no longer the default. But it does bring to light that our changing environment has created some legitimate issues that men don't seem to be addressing effectively.

I guess different women look for different things in men, so I won't judge. In my opinion, not many women I know like men with tattoos and body piercings. ( I don't mind small tattoos, especially the ones military men usually have)
I think a lot of women have codependent issues, they settle for being needed, not loved. Many women like to fix men's problems.
I have a girlfriend who dated a man with drug problems. She couldn't leave him because "Oh, he is so vulnerable and is always in pain." He has nasty bad breath due to the drugs he uses; he is verbally and physically abusive.. what makes him so attractive? I have no ideas.
Seriously? Dude needs a therapist, not a girlfriend.

In areas such as NYC and SoCal/NoCal they are mostly likely looking for men that are high earners. It's only a man's market because they're restricting their options heavily, so they make the numbers game work against them, not for them. I'm sure there's lots of single attractive guys with good personalities that only make an average amount of money.
Does it mean that, “feminism”, stop looking at us with lust. If so, that is Ridiculous! I think feminism is for women who don’t hate, but want their gender to be viewed with dignity.
Men have been hurt, men have to struggle with views and mindsets that they have been taught from society. Men struggle to find their way just as women do. I think women and men can learn to put yourself in other people's shoes.
It doesn’t necessarily change my view, but softens my perspective and responses to their differences.

Do you agree that Men are becoming a forgotten group in America?
