Just be honest. You are trying to get this "movement" going because no woman is giving you the goods, right? That's what it all blows down to. This whole "tactics" to get more women dating is because you are left out. I got news for you. If somehow it does work, that just means more for the successful. People like you are still going to be left out.

The reason that you are not successful at dating is because you don't have enough appeal. And you have to face it. I had to face it. I was out in the cold while others were getting together. Oh, and of course, the single ladies were happy to be single.

One day, I lose a few pounds and lo and behold, those "celibate" women were suddenly ready to mingle.

I said all of this to say.

IT'S NOT THEM!!! IT'S YOU!!!

Women have "gone off marriage or partnerships" to an extent. I don't make up facts.
People are attacking me for facts they dislike hearing, maybe because they're denying some things to themselves. I know the type of person prone to self-deception and personal attacks is at the top of the list for not making a good partner, so glass houses.

But you're singling out the single people.

Life to a large degree is luck, but it's not pure luck and effort is a factor. Rationalization re relationships usually comes down to excuses not to make an effort. Focusing on other things, even positives such as personal development, can't fill a basic lack. People just have to navigate dating so that it doesn't make them miserable. File it under "necessary evil."

What TJenkins said.

Give yourself an attitude makeover to start with.

Women look for someone who will make them happy. Your control issues and lack of openness & tolerance for other peoples' ways of living and choices, constitute an impediment to other peoples' happiness.

Yeah, because it's a discussion about singles. Think! Just as why in the world would I make this thread primarily for my own benefit when other methods for getting mine would be more effective.

Dating is fun, it's not a necessary evil in my life. If it is for you, then that's you.

He's a right-wing heathen. But yeah, patriarchal and paternalistic sound about right. *shudder* No wonder he's uncoupled.

You move the goal posts all around and around in this need to be right. I thought you were talking about marriage?!?

Many people are in happy, fulfilling relationship(s) and are also single. Telling them they’re “lying to themselves” is just illogical and serves no purpose except to try and make you feel better, or at least ok, or not completely to blame for your own situation. YOU are to blame for your UNHAPPY situation, I will take CREDIT for my satisfying life, as it is all in my own actions and attitude. NO luck involved, just direction.

It doesn't matter. Even if a whole bunch of women have "gone off" relationships, there are still millions of single women looking nearly in equal numbers to single men look. And there are actually more single women, period.

If you can't find a relationship, you need to work on something about yourself or lower your standards (I've seen too often where men claim there are "no single women" but the truth is there are, they just aren't the women those men are interested in).

It boils down to this, no matter how much posting you do online, you aren't going to convince anyone who isn't interested in a relationship to start dating. You might as well hold your breath and pass out for all the good it will do. What other people do is out of your control. You can only control yourself so that's what you should work on if you really want change in your situation.
