Nobody really cares about men besides a minority of men and an even smaller minority of women. The remainder only consider men in as much as it pertains to validating women. If you reduce women to being brood mares and play things for men it's sexist but men being seen as nothing but wallets, sentries and sex toys for women is just fine.

I sometimes wonder why so many people consider negative effects of porn on relationships obvious while completely disregarding negative effects of romance fiction on relationships (among other things the concept of a soulmate you have to just find and then everything in the relationship is effortless afterwards).

My kid is almost 27, and he hasn't been on a date since he was six. The little girl down the street, with very strange parents, asked him over for a play date.

(No, I don't say anything to him about it. It's none of my business.)

I don't buy the "speed dating has less men than women" thing for a second unless they're talking about the 45+ bracket.

In fact I just checked a local speed dating event and the male tickets were sold out and the female ones had a 2 for 1 promo lol

Tbh I would probably try speed dating if I was looking for someone these days. I don't think I would have at 18-25 though.

The older you get, the more you value your time and energy (mental, emotional, physical, etc.) At least it seems that way for me and people in my age range. I did actually meet a woman recently and actually enjoy every minute spent together so I'm gonna take that fork in the road and see where it leads. Another part of aging, I no longer have high hopes so I just go with the flow. If it works out, great, if not, totally fine, life goes on.

Maybe because they are getting advice from other men how to trick a girl into giving them sex, this why alot look to pickup artist, it involves manipulation and tricks. They got so used to it, they don't even ask people
