The biggest problem keeping so many people single is simply that there is a lack of a social continuity post-college/high school.

I think people try to complicate the dating market issues. To me, I think it all returns to this right here. Where do you meet people organically or see someone enough that you naturally get to get close to each other post-schooling?

In a post-social media and religious society, where do you have a social continuity that runs so long you get to make connections organically? Where is there enough of a continuity that there is a push to be social and outgoing, not be on the internet and live in reality? These are the major issues plaguing us, it's really nothing else. I'm not religious, but going to church every Sunday before allowed a place to go to every Sunday where different members of your community would go and you would easily make friends/meet people. I'm latino and in latino culture, we are pushed to be social with each other. Go to a latino market and see how friendly everyone is. Now, social media has divided people, everyone has crazy levels of anxiety, being social with strangers is not as common.

Once you're past college you're FUCKED. If you're a man, you can learn how to cold approach, but that's really tough. As a woman, you mostly rely on apps which suck too. Apps suck ass for everyone and you can't really blame women for being picky on there (they are risking a lot of stuff going on dates with complete strangers, they're obviously going to be unnaturally picky).

That's literally it. I promise everyone, if you were constantly around beautiful, wonderful people, you'd have a partner. You'd naturally learn how to be social, navigate the complexities of managing a social group, naturally bond with people.

College was so easy for me to land dates because there was the social commonality of us being in college, and I would join groups or just cold approach women on campus, get into friend groups, meet women in class, make friends that hosted events. Literally so many dates it was pathetic. I had a RICH social life, I was like hanging with people everyday. It's SO much harder post-college lol It's hilarious. No, women haven't gotten pickier. There's no hoe-flation. This is literally the issue: you don't have a chance to get to know people as easily anymore, so the avenues left to us are by nature far more superficial. NO ONE I KNOW THAT GOES TO CHURCH AFTER COLLEGE IS SINGLE JUST SAYING.
