Absolutely wonderful article about the current state of dating for men. Published September 13, 2023.

A few glaring quotes:

Jammall says he’s been on a total of three dates his entire life.

Jammall is one of a growing number of young men who are withdrawing from the dating pool. More than six in ten men aged 18 to 29 are now single, up from about five in ten in 2019, according to data from Pew Research Center.

Many women hold out for men who make not just as much or more than they do, but are also wildly attractive.

While the sexual revolution freed women from depending on men for income or stability, it also means they can privilege more “frivolous” qualities in a mate, says Rob Henderson, a psychology PhD.

The result? Men at the tip-top of the dating pool get everything. And the men who don’t have it all get nothing.
