(resubmitted under the right flair)

Over the past century humanity has been through the first, second and third waves of feminism, the internet, online dating, then dating apps, the pill culture, now dating apps are dying, now singers and celebrities with a female audience dominate media (Taylor Swift) and promote a sort of esoteric female independence that really does not want, let alone need, any male influence now. "Alpha males" and PUAs are now parodied, everyone is now aware of all the tenets of dating and relationships. It feels like we are getting closer to the culmination of history's progress with the relations between men and women.

With this it all feels collectively that women have been through all the motions and have had all the relationships - some casual, some long-term. The average western woman has seen it all. Good men, bad men, men who didn't turn her on, men who did and then treated her badly, or she got bored, or something else, and now by the time she's around 30-32 she's now voluntarily single, and very independent (nothing wrong with that at all, just observations). Women are just as happy going on coffee dates with their besties, I'm also seeing a lot of young girls out with their PARENTS - it's not un-cool or unfashionable anymore to involve your parents in things. And not to mention people feel tired in general with the effort and energy involved in managing relationships.

Then you have the whole 4B thing which I know is mostly hyperbole, but there is some truth to it in that a lot of women really just don't date anymore, for all sorts of reasons. They've been there, done that. What do you think?

Note: not criticizing anyone and I fully understand in parts why this may be, just putting things into perspective
