Why the rate of single men in the US looking for dates has declined

It seems 63% of men aged between 18 and 29 are smart and informed. Good for them! There's no reason to enter a totally rigged game. Passions, hobbies, travels, education, work even hopefully are young men priorities today. And if they are not, they should be. Times have changed, right? Strong and independent, right? Looks like it can go both ways.

As Are We Dating The Same Guy groups hits another million, men will be much more cautious of using dating apps.

Probably because one can piss away a virtually unlimited amount of time pursuing women and never have a good experience, but in doing other things good experiences are virtually guaranteed.

Dating is a minefield right now. I tell every young man that will listen to be very careful no matter how much he loves someone. Don't let her move into your place while dating. Always have separate bank accounts and credit cards. You have be very cautious in this day and age. All it takes is one bad day for your reputation to be ruined.

Classic CNN and a random professor. CNN blames porn and terrorism then the professor says "men need to level up". Ridiculous.

The whole "red flag" culture in dating is horrendous. ... meaning, people (probably mostly women) have a list of "red flags" or items that absolutely prevent them from dating people with certain criteria. They don't give people a chance, they just shoot ppl down for being one way or another. ... even for dumb stuff like being too short.

Would rather be lonely single as opposed to loneliER with someone. Plus, as a single man (22M) fresh out of university, I have very important things to do outside of dating. That means getting my career on point, my mental health on point, my money on point, my physical health on point & upping my personal brand, as well as investing in side hustles & going all in on my 8 hobbies outside of building up my career & side business(es).

Even when I achieve high value badge, I won't begin dating until I get a passport & I'll begin dating outside of North America.

They still don't get it. It's boys coming from divorced broken homes, having their Dads ripped from their lives, watching their Dads lives get destroyed by their mom, and having their own lives destroyed by their Moms.

I can almost 100% say I am encouqging.my children to never ever get married and have been vocal about what the anti family court did to me, and how their lives were stolen by the courts, judges, lawyers all for profit. Their hopes, dreams, wants, and needs were all stolen and left me financially destitute, unable to provide for them, because w that money was given to a lazy deadbeat who told me I only wanted the kids so I didn't have to pay her. It's all about money, and the kids are the ones who suffer.

I hope and dream my kids never get married or have kids, so they aren't beholden to the state for thousands of dollars a year.

I can see the perspective of the comments here saying men don't want to deal with dating, but how about a different perspective? Perhaps the women don't want the men because they don't reach their high standards? Women can now earn their own money, do their own things, etc, so they want a man who earns just as much, if not more than them. Women are also more career focused nowadays. Looks are a lot more important than what men are being told. Women find most men below average in looks.

Also, dating apps, metoo and social media each have a part to play.

I genuinely think the actual number of young, single men is closer to 70%.

This happened more in AMERICA then in mostly any other place. So it’s a mostly American problem

The problem isn't just feminism. It's a broader problem with the modern Left, and not just on relationships but their views on society in general.

To the cultural Marxists that began replacing the classical liberals in the mid-20th century, nobody has any values whatsoever but everyone is trying to carve out the largest piece of the proverbial pie they can get. So right from the beginning, they weren't trying to get men to agree to equal relations based on love as an endpoint. Rather, they saw that as a lily pad for their ultimate goal of reversing the roles entirely. And because they believed that everyone operated in that selfish, egotistic way, they saw nothing wrong with what they were doing even though they were essentially begging the question, because they assumed everyone else was doing it as well.

Problem is, there actually were and still are some well-meaning people, but if they are not aware of how others operate, they are easily manipulated by those with sinister intentions. This is exactly what happened with men in the 70s and 80s. They thought, sure "Equal relationships based on love are actually a good idea", but they ended up giving the feminists an inch with the latter taking a mile, leaving us in the situation where we are today where it's men who face a whole host of disadvantages in relationships, and a far more cynical society, not only with regards to relationships, but on many issues in general.
