Whatever reasons other men have, I just want a woman who, coming home to her is better than coming home to silence and solitude. Until I find that, I will be happy to stay single.

I busted my ass from 18 to 32 to "make it" and now I'm expected to take the same women/type of woman seriously who wouldn't give me the time of day 5 or 10 years ago? Yeah, no thanks!

My middle son just turned 19 and has no interest in dating. He has watched his father and most of the older men he knows get drug through a divorce. He sees the young women on social media and observed their behavior. He watched his sister divorce a young man after one year. The list goes on and on. I can hardly blame his hesitation. The culture is a shit show.

There are MANY married men who are absolutely miserable..staying only because of children or not wanting to lose everything they have worked for.

It is women who give men a negative impression of women...no matter what the venue is through which they learn it.

Courtney, there's nothing far more worse than a man dealing with a woman who's a major delusional head case!!!🙄😂

After some bad experiences, I find it difficult to trust anyone. My last girlfriend told me she loved and cared about me deeply throughout the day for over a year, then straight up dumped me out of nowhere with a lousy scrambled explanation, then ghosted me. She literally cried in my arms days before telling me how thankful she is for having me and all the great memories we've made and will continue to make. I treated her like gold. Never argued, cursed, raised my voice, cheated, manipulated, assaulted, begged or forced intimacy. I bought her gifts, paid for 90% of dates, praised her, and complimented her constantly. What hurt me the most, and how I know it really is over is that she didn't even bother checking on me on the anniversary of my mother's death, and she knows that I struggle with alcohol addiction. It amazes me how someone can literally go from lovey dovey texts/calls throughout the day for a year to complete silence like turning off a light.

I’ve found even in my 50’s that many women still have the accountability of a child. You can talk about self improvement or shyness or whatever else you want but the fact of the matter is modern women have changed, they expect us to work 5x harder than our grandfathers did to get a woman that is 1/10th the caliber of woman our grandmothers were. And most of us simply said “no thanks”.

[MrTonycoughlan]

Honestly, the reason is we’re scared. Scared to lose confidence, scared to be falsely accused of things, scared of trying to be nice and we get called out for being “creepy” for trying to ask someone out.

4 years ago I came home from work to find that my fiance and daughter had moved out. It was like getting hit by a bus. 3 weeks later my daughter came over for Father's day and told me she didn't want to live with her mom and her new boyfriend. I then got custody of my daughter, focused on work and I became a supervisor for a great company. In those 4 years I didn't date, I didn't do much besides work and raise my daughter. When 2023 came around I told myself I didn't want to be alone, but I didn't want to be in another toxic relationship. I joined some dating apps and realized that dating and women in general were not the same as 20 years ago. So I had a few terrible dates and was starting to wonder if I was just going to have to accept I'll be single for the rest of my life. Then I got a message from a lady who seemed to have her shit together and was "normal"! I was concerned at first because I'm in Wisconsin and she's in Illinois. After the first date, I knew she was different...in a good way! We've now been together for 4 months and the 40 minute drive is well worth it! She met my oldest daughter and granddaughter last weekend and they gave their approval! This 4th of July she will be meeting my youngest daughter! I'm nervous about it, but my daughter is the one pushing to meet her! She said she wants to meet the lady who's making me a better person and a better dad.
Bottom line...don't give up! Yes I was hurt by women in the past, but I do not judge other women by what my ex did. Time heals and gives you the opportunity to make yourself a better person. Don't give up just because you've had bad experiences. Learn from it.
Courtney, your an amazing woman and give great advice to people who need it. Thanks for all you do!😉

I had a girl staring at me at the gym. Her head was turned ninety degrees staring for five seconds. She did it three times so I asked her name and she Ran Away! I got 12 matches on tinder and everyone ghosted me after a few days of great convo. I give up.

Men are exhausted of the worst of female behaviour as they have no recourse against it.

[VariableReciprocity]

I’ve found that being a man who’s “made it” in life that being single is easier. The main problem I run into with dating is this simple question. Does she actually like me or is she just trying to get me to be a provider for her?

[deldriankeetonjr]

I've been single throughout my 20s, have negative experiences with toxic women, focusing on myself and more introverted/lack of social skills. My generation messed up the dating game, women shaming men for being who they are, wearing 304 badge and acting like men. All of that is why I'm single

We have more realistic things to do than trying to satisfy a creature that cannot be satisfied.

I’m a 27 year old mechanical engineer. Very physically fit. Outgoing, friendly personality. Great job making 6 figures. My life has been very "together" for years now. I’ve cold approached/asked out easily at least 50 girls this year in every type of setting from the gym to church to grocery stores and coffee shops to bars and have gotten nothing but ghosting or already in relationships. It’s tough out there man. Not really sure what more I can do…

[keithnmoore]

I simply enjoy being single, mainly because of the freedom to do what I want and when I want. I can go to the restaurants, movies, hobbies, activities, and travel destinations I want without criticisms or distractions. Kind of nice. 😊

Went to the gym, tried to be better, to be noticed. Took all the dating coach advice, went out, I even lived in San Francisco....my own place. Had hobbies, college education....not super high income but above average. I speak a foreign language. Basic fashion sense. Yes, I in the end....I turned 40. Still deemed by women as "a great guy but..." and dating sites I got no replies. Also witnessed first hand a gazillion times the gal choosing the drug dealer, the thug, the cheater, the first class a-hole. They went by looks only. Hopeless for most men and at 40....was entering middle age. It was just time to end the pain. Hit the shower and get on. If women just told men "we want only hot men" it would end the confusion, and women would lose the right to complain. No, they will never do that. They will still peddle the sisterhood lie that "they like men who are confident, friendly and thoughtful, and looks never never matter to them"

“ I’m an independent woman, I don’t need a man” “relationships should be 50/50” but asks for a man that is miles above her. Men are sick of it
