There are also many positives that will come from this. At least there will be less unwanted children who will be created by this. I mean it is getting harder and harder for people to make it financially in this country, you add a kid that was unplanned to the mix and things can get way worse. Not everybody wants to have a partner or "fall in love" like we have been convinced our whole lives that is what we are supposed to do. Let's face it, many people prefer the peace and solitude of not being in a relationship. Some are going the friends with benefit route, because being in a relationship will do nothing but tie them down!!

It ain't rocket surgery.
Good advice. Except about the phone. One of my sons met his wife using a dating app. But yeah, after the phone introduces you, you have to actually be willing to have a conversation.

News flash: that young beauty you fall in love with will become old and saggy some day. If your idea of a relationship is based on looks you are doomed anyway.

I will suggest this, join something or do something where you meet men and women. Whether it's work, church, a sport or volunteering. That's how most couples connect once they're out of school besides some of the good dating apps.
There will always be that small minority of people who are so awkward or whatever they wont get a date but those are a small minority. I have one niece and one nephew (who sounds a lot like yours) who dont date. They are 30ish. But they really dont seem interested in dating. They are perfectly happy living their lives and being free to just go hang out with friends.

It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
And that independence granted women the ability to be competitive and financially independent. So your idea that women need a man's money is debunked. In reality women are now financial contributors in a relationship.

This tread is about men complaining they are lonely and sexless, not women. It is women who are avoiding the con game. They dont need a mans money, or protection or name so they are free to want a man, love a man, for the content of his character.

I know that everyone thinks all women have equal demand in the dating market, but it’s not true. Just because you have a vagina, doesn’t mean you look like Kate Upton or Scarlett Johansson.
And there is the thing. These are "low demand" men (obese, ugly, smokers, misogynists) who think because they have a penis they deserve a Kate Upton or Scarlett Johansson. "high demand" women are pairing with "high demand" men and "low demand" women are pairing with "low demand"
men. Water seeks its own level

That is mostly what you see but it seems there are increasing numbers of men and women who think so much of themselves anything other than "top tier" isn't an option for them. These aren't people you would want anyway. Let them stay single and delusional. It isn't even something new, my mom had a friend like that, no man was good enough for her, but she really wasn't anything special. So she stayed a single woman for life. There have always been this type. One thing about them is they aren't really happy because they are never satisfied. Even if they find someone they feel like they are settling.

We should certainly encourage our young people to be more humble and realistic.

Exactly. And we have those people complaining that they are perpetually lonely and sexless and that it is all anyone's fault but their own. And on top of that the government should do something about it.

Posturing. Gotta present one's self as a "have" lest you get labeled a "have not" and the best defense is a good offense. In a way he's confirming what his hostility and mockery is seemingly meant to deny.

And the men that are quality aren’t obese, overweight, ugly, or smokers either.

Once society realizes that BOTH men and women have their own crosses to bear when it comes to dating people will be better off.

And Scarlett Johansson I can promise has had casual s3x that we don’t know about. The men she did with Im almost positive aren’t obese and ugly either.

Quality finds quality. If as a man you can’t get a relationship either you are either in the wrong or the wrong location.
