Who / what us truly to blame for the challenges of modern dating?

[Anonymous]

The phones. The apps. The economy.

I think pornography plays a part as well, but others may disagree. The first three are indisputable.

Divorce at a 50-year low— you should Google it. plenty of research on this.

Feminists wanted timid, demure “men” too afraid to even talk to a woman in real life.

You got your wish. Happy now?

There is no way that is correct especially going back more than 50 years. Many people arent marrying so that will skew the numbers plus I bet immigrants bring down the divorce percentage.

Men are not timid. Do you read the news? Women are afraid of getting killed because some man cant take any negative conversation.

England has had manners for centuries and it didnt affect the divorce rate.

What percentage of men actually meet those requirements? Less than 1%, I’d guess. These young women are totally delusional, including my own DD.

7668 is what my neice and her friends talk about. I’m sure the guys are out there but they’re basically like attractive women and are overwhelmed with choices and don’t want to commit.

This is so laughably delusional. For that age profile, they are basically talking about professional athletes. Good luck!

There is a bifurcation happening among men. Those men that have been aggressive boundary steppers will have been that no matter what. Most other men are becoming more timid and apprehensive due to the stigma, shaming and painting all men with broad brushstrokes.

Interesting that there is no gap in your worldview between woman-subjugating rapists and perpetrators of sexual assault & harassment (which feminists helped reduce in the world) and "timid, demure men."

This. The hookup apps are a godsend.
