There are several things but so many of them boil down to this.

What’s making it harder for straight men seeking women: Swipe culture making everything into a controlled environment, inhibiting the social skills and risk-taking involved when asking a woman out in a bar, to a certain extent MeToo culture causing women to assume all men are creeps, social media making women seek unrealistic demands about height and income and superficial things instead of the real men that are around them, instagram filters that make prospective female dates a lot more attractive than they really are and causing disappointment in-person.

What’s making it harder for straight women seeking men: Online culture creating a generation of introverted basement dwellers with no appeal, porn and online subcultures/redpill/PUAs creating a depressing and contradictory dating market where women are expected to be sexually experienced and adventurous but also subservient tradwives and have a nonexistent body count. Basically, fulfill my sexual fantasies but don’t have a body count.

Things that make dating worse for both: Obesity, lack of third spaces, the economy/lack of disposable income to spend on dates, work hours and demands requiring people to hustle and not have enough free time.

We need to go back to a world where people were trim, fit, and naturally attractive in their 20s and 30s, when work let out at 5pm sharp and people could go out in the evenings, and when young people had the time, resources, and energy for in-person communal activities. [/quote]
