I suppose 'modern men' is a vague term as their 3.5 billion men in different cultures across the world. Maybe it's because I'm young and have unlimited time to spend on the internet which makes me believe that men have trouble dating.
Funnily enough, despite the sensationalism of the internet, the students in my school never seemed to have subscribed 'Red Pill', 'MGTOW', PUA etc...Again, dating could be different in Western Europe than it is in the US but I don't know whether these issues are like the mistaken growing phenomenon of trans/gender fluid people society seems to believe.
What I do know for a fact is that women are getting more legal and social rights while still maintaining more conservative gender dynamics in relationships and other aspects of life. That's undeniable. I'm just not sure about dating for men.
It's just the whiners who either a) have the interpersonal skills of a radish, b) have emotional problems, c) refuse to modify their approach, or d) cling to really mechanistic theories about what women want or how women should behave.
I mean, basically, if you take decent care of yourself, are a decent listener, and manage to both be considerate and have a backbone at the same time, then finding a girlfriend just isn't all that hard.
I don't think men have it any harder than men 30 years ago did. The Internet has just made it easier for people to voice their frustration and connect with folks who feel the same way. In the old days, if you were upset about being rejected by women, you could only whine about it to your close friends or relatives. Now, you can find a Facebook group or some 'Mens Rights' organization and engage in group female bashing. But this phenomenon goes beyond dating. Just look at our political discourse. In the past, if you were a racist, you had to keep it to yourself. Now you can just go online and find a ton of people who all whine about how their country is being taken away from them and how minorities are getting all the supposed breaks.
The men that run around complaining that they can't get a woman, I feel thats okay they cant, we dont want them procreating anyways. Survival of the fittest is the name of the game.

Getting a woman doesn't always lead to procreating.

Very true. You either did something about it or you shut up about it, because no one was going to listen to you complain. If you hang out online where no one really knows you it's a lot easier to hide from yourself and from the reality that you might just need an attitude adjustment.
Red Pill = reference to the movie The Matrix where taking the red pill lets you see the world how it really is.
MGTOW = Men going their own way
PUA = Pick up artist
They basically fall into the "Men's Rights" category where a bunch of guys think feminism ruined dating and that women don't actually want or deserve to be treated with respect.

I'm getting old. "Men going their own way"? Where exactly are they going?
