A big problem that people have, on this forum and elsewhere, is thinking that "well, if everything is fine in my own little bubble, then they must be fine everywhere else too." That is not the case.
So why can't you take advice from those in the good bubbles? Maybe they are doing something right in their lives that you are not doing, for whatever reason. There have been many suggestions on this thread and success stories that can give you ideas on how to change your situation. When the status quo is not working, try something different.
I can't believe the tongue wagging and finger pointing going on in here. You men & women want to find a life mate ? It's easy. First everybody PUT DOWN THE PHONES first. Then the next time you see someone you're attracted to, do the dance and take a chance ! Put on your best smile, walk up to that person and say "HELLO!" and start a conversation. Just SAY SOMETHING! Doesn't matter much what. You never know who you're gonna meet.

It ain't rocket surgery.

I met girls in the craziest of places- libraries, parks, laundromats, the NYC subway, language classes, etc.
And yes, there is a reason why baseball analogies are constantly used. Getting turned down 70% of the time is still a successful rate.

Yeah, my little bubble: over 200 family members, my friends/their kids, friends of family members, old co-workers, DH's co-workers from 2 industries, their kids and friends......

Honestly, I hate this gender divide the democrats/feminists pull all of the time. Yes, men are certainly no saints by any means, but all of these women that you see get all crazy in the Karen videos shows they aren't either. Just hate all of this "Life is hard so we just go around pointing fingers at everyone else" crap I hate so much.
1. Proportionally fewer men than in the past are willing to work in manual labor? Is this because of our shifting economy in this country meaning that the necessity for this kind of work is dwindling in our society? I know about the decline in labor participation rate, but is this due to a shifting economy and coming out of a time with unprecedented economic growth in America due to less competition with other industrialized nations?
2. Point taken, should’ve said lure. So it is only a handful of colleges actually lowering admission standards for men, not the wide spread phenomenon you painted it to be.
3. I didn’t say you said that, just imploring if you were speaking about something that may have been captured under that. I have seen many people throw that bogus stat out to try to say there is discrimination against women in the admissions process to many master’s degree programs. I liken it to the often touted pay gap talking point that all of a sudden multivariate analysis is no longer needed when presenting such a study.
Ok at this point is clear you are either playing games or simply not paying much attention to what I write but you are somehow offended anyway.
1. Per my comment about fewer men working in tough blue collar jobs it's none of what you mentioned above, well not much anyway, and more because young men today are generally much softer than in the past.
2. Again you superimpose words and meaning I didn't write. I wrote, "selective" colleges in my original post. The only one painting things here is you.
3. I'm a cold logical and fairly specific thinker. If I was talking about women being discriminated against in MA/MS programs I would have said as much.
Well, someone recently shared his experience of going to a new church on Easter this year.
The Lord's Prayer was printed in the bulletin as "Our Mother/Father, who art in heaven..."
The Bibles in the pew racks were all gender neutral.
The Easter sermon compared Christ's resurrection to his/her/their own "transformation" of having "top surgery." Much of the sermon was about his/her/their que*rness and top surgery.
Sounds very woke to me.
Meh, church different people go to church for different reasons. For some; to worship some mythological deity, others; social reasons and support.
I've been (and still am) happily married for the last 20 years, so I have been out of the dating scene for a long time.
It is only since I created a TikTok account that I learned that in 2022, women now hate men, and men now hate women.
It's really bizarre to me. I'm just scratching my head thinking "What the hell happened while I was gone?"
TikTok seems to have replaced friends. After a break up you would maybe be depressed for a couple of days your friends would drag you out of your couch nest make you bathe and take you out for drinks. That's where you'd complain about men or women and trash the entire sex for your broken heart and you'd see they aren't all that bad you were just trying to make something happen that wasn't happening. And you'd get back up on the horse.
With TikTok they don't keep it isolated with their friends and they express their pain to a world wide audience. And then they get feedback.
I think considering that consensual sex can be considered rape it makes young people nervous.
With all these dating apps and hook up sites if you are "sexless" then you aren't doing it right.
Depends. What kind of sex do you want?
