Between the growth of MGTOW, the PoundMeToo backlash, and Billy Betas everywhere wising up and dropping out... the relationship pool for women over 30 has almost completely dried up.

To illustrate, I'm a 5'11", unathletic, overweight, introverted, 38 year old man. During my late teens and early 20's, I never had luck with women (outside a few lightning in a bottle situations where she was drunk and I was available). At 24, I met an awful 31 year old woman with a bad case of baby rabies. That's how I became a dad. After her came a marriage to a woman who still had a thirst for Tyrone on the side. That was four years lost and herpes gained.

When that marriage ended, I was a 32 year old, fat, miserable guy with loads of child support and herpes. Not exactly a catch by any stretch of the imagination.

So to tie this back to the title, it baffles me how much attention I'm getting from women recently. And not just from heifers either, but from some reasonably attractive women. Once they find out I have a house, a job, and a car, it's like they turn into beta-seeking missiles.

I've talked to a few of them about what dating has been like from their perspective. According to them, it's drug addicts, homeless guys, criminals, married guys, and guys who proposition them for sex during the first conversation.

If an average guy like me has the legitimate option to spin plates and rack up substantial partner counts, then I really think that women as a whole are completely and irretrievably fucked.

If I had been born 70 years ago, I would have made a great husband and father and I probably would have stayed that until I died. But today, I'm this strange combination of part-time dad/defacto player/MGHOW. I don't even know how this happened, but it did. One thing I do know is that I'll take whatever the hell I'm doing now over slaving away on the plantation.
