It's not that women are "picky." It is that they are radically disinterested in men.

Some of ya'll are really doing the most...suggesting society is going to collapse because things are changing in a way you don't agree with or feel comfortable with....talk about being dramatic. Gimme a freaking break. Reminds me of this tweet I saw that basically said in a nutshell, that this is the first time in history that people are learning they have to be "likable" in order to be in a relationship, and a lot of folks don't know how to do that. And it's showing very clearly in some of these posts.

Couldn’t mind altering drugs make people more prone to being disinterested (along with societal forces too)?

I agree, this 'apocalyptic' BS is ridiculous.

People have always predicted collapse. Go to the politics or economics forum and you’ll see it there too. At some point the predictions could be right — I kinda lean toward the arguments for why the world won’t be a better place in 50 or 100+ years. It feels like the social, political and economic predictions are all kinda coming together to a point where maybe things do take a drastically different course than what we are used to.

This is nuts.

I do not see ANY of that happening.

What makes it even more dumb is that the ones who are arguing this don't realize how much of a self drag it is. "In order to reset the balance, we may need total economic collapse" or insert whatever other apocalyptic scenario they can think of. But it translates to "in order for us to get relationships people have to be in a desperate state." Which basically proves the author's point in the article. They don't have the skills or lack the motivation necessary to be a good, likable, and WHOLE person. They think desperation and complete dependance is the only way for them to get what they want. Which is sad.

It proves how extremely deeply flawed (and probably irredeemable) the human race is.

In NYC, dating aged females outnumber dating aged males. Guys there are struggling just as much as guys anywhere else.

I don’t think anyone is predicting some collapse for selfish reasons where they will be smothered in women in the next 3 years. You quoted me, but I’m a person that has had relationships and has been with more women that I should have. And we are talking 20-30+ years out here to where society may be going — most of us will be well past our prime dating years.
