Why are so many young men single right now?

[trophy]

I’m 24 and every single girl I know is the same live your best life alcoholic social media personality, has an instagram full of booty pics and gets wasted at night clubs with fake friends. Not GF material and certainly not wife material

[minabotieso]

Those reasons you offered are obviously garbage. How is a reason that young women don’t want to date if 70%* of young women are in a relationship? The glaringly obvious explanation is that younger women date older men

[pimpnamedslickback]

Isn’t it funny how we must all champion to close the pay gap but when it comes to relationships. “Oh men just don’t want to compete”

[Iceman]

Not just dating apps, women are more aggressive and difficult to interact with than they've been in the past.

[joshitheyoshi]

"women refocused their priorities on education, career and finances" Then shouldn't there be more single women? Instead there is more single men than single women. Then again, I'm not an "expert" at "Psychology Today" lmao.

[Ceadus]

One of two things. Women are sharing the same man, knowingly or not. And younger women are dating older established and secure men. The pandemic has nothing to do with it.

[YoungJay]

I can’t believe you blamed the pandemic and “women refocusing their priorities” 😂😂😂

[TrueSenseForever]

Everybody is sleeping around. Especially women.

[Re-Todd_Howard]

This statistic was trending upwards long before the pandemic.

Guys see their brothers and friends get burned and decide not to play the game.

[eljefetoussaint]

No, no, no.... I think u got this all wrong. It's most of the women are dating the same men. IDK how many friends I have that have more than one child with 2 or 3 women

Social media has driven female hypergamy to unnatural levels, as a result young men don't want to compete, especially as more women are also no engaging in polyamorous behavior.

Historically men value women who haven't had many sexual partners because it was viewed as the only way to ensure paternity. Which is an exclusive male dilemma because women through their own biology are ensured maternity. Now there are more ways to ensure paternity but men still value women who haven't engaged with many sexual partners because it lowers the likelihood he would be compared to those sexual partners.

Now, women on dating apps and social media, which are the source of 40% of modern relationships, want men of high status and high physical attraction. It's natural because women have shorter reproductive lifespans and are more vulnerable in pregnancy. The issue is since there are fewer of those men, there will be more opportunities for those men to also engage in polyamorous behavior.

It is true that there's a lot of young single man the big reason is women nowadays want to be independent and on their own and things like that and I won't date a man if he makes under 200, 000 a year they consider him broke Which is far from the truth

[zumsloths]

There many reason why men don’t wanna date

[FPumps]

Women in there 20s don’t care about a relationship. Social media is there relationship. Something they can seek attention with is there relationship. If a guy gets in there way to set standards they see it as controlling and taking away from what they so think had. Do you think women would choose a great guy with a future or there posts on social media? The guys they have on Snapchat?

Male in my 20s here. I belive a large reason this is the case, is because of a culture shift here. I don't have any analytics and theories, only my own personal experiences here.

Truth be told, I tend to have more negative interactions with those who are not from my own gender. If I'm walking down the street in a good mood, and I see a stranger, I might give them a head nod, perhaps say good afternoon or something, simply just trying to be friendly or kind.

Most dudes? They will usually give a smile, a head nod, or some other kinder response.

Most females? That's a different story. I get alot of "I have a boyfriend" responses, cold shoulders, and stink eyes. Many of them have been trained, be that by media, family, or else wise, that if a man is trying to be kind, they are either being a creep, hitting on someone, or something else.

While I live on a college campus, which could Influence the kind of people I see, I feel like I'm on eggshells around females more often then I am with other males. While there are always asshole guys and really amazing girls, there's a significant society driven difference on how you interact with each gender. If most of the time, not always, but most of the time, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells... there's not a chance I wanna build my life around people like that.

Other then that, women can get away with alot more then guys can. Specific things can happen to guys, that if a girl was in the same situation, would be a whole different issue. With a large part of the world beliving that guys can't be sexually assaulted by females. Often if situations like this come to light, males are made fun of or bullied for this kinda stuff.

With all this in mind, it's so much safer for males to stay single in most situations. Not all females are scum or anything, and I've had a few female friends in the past. But in my experience, kindness is few and far between.

The math isn’t mathing. 60% of men are single but only 30% of women are single? In general there are more women walking around than men when you consider men make up the most of prison populations and that there are just more women right now according to the US Census. So by that math most men should be taken with a small amount of women who are single. So who are these women dating? The math isn’t mathing.

[autblackwell]

63% percent of young men are single vs 30 percent of young women

Yet in all online spaces, dating apps, bars and clubs.. men vastly outnumber women

Are you able to put the pieces together miss?

[TheAnamnesisable]

That’s crazy that nonsense people put out there- she’s clueless

[Sense_IsCommon]

If you’re not married, you’re single… Right?
