[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those women are not settling for men who are not compatible, full partners. Nothing wrong with that. It sounds like if any of them met the right guy, they'd consider marriage.

But, doesn't that mean men are giving up too? The population of the U.S. is 50.5% female. If they aren't getting married, neither are men. Or is something going wrong with a large portion of the male population making them incompatible marriage partners?[/quote]

Both genders are becoming increasingly unattractive to the other. You have more men growing up to be directionless incel losers, you have more women becoming fat and having delusional standards.

Well put and I agree.

Can everyone see how phones and social media are largely behind these trends?

Social media has definitely been implicated in the whole incel mess (although I believe the number of so-called incels has been blown way out of proportion; there aren’t many of them).

80 to 90% of all dating women focusing on the top 10% of men is the result of dating apps, which instantly allow women to reject any man under 6 feet tall who makes under six-figures ($100,000 per year).   The profiles of all those other men are never even seen.

Add to that the well-intentioned movement toward “fat acceptance.”  While well-intentioned, it’s used as an excuse for both genders to be unhealthy and unfit, which is exactly the opposite of what FLOTUS Michelle Obama was trying to help us avoid:  unhealthy, sedentary lifestyles.[/quote]

You are right, social media is a major driver here. It's funneling men into incel discourse where they become angry losers and TikTok is rife with content telling young women that they can get a tall and rich guy who will want them to stay at home. The numbers bear this out: 20 percent of men on dating apps get like 90 percent of the attention from women. People don't like hearing that they need to compromise; men don't want to settle with working class jobs and feel resentful and the "globalist laptop" elites making 200k and women don't want to settle for anything less than tall and white collar job.
