The Rise of Lonely Single Straight Men

It isn't about men and women. The reality is that we have spent decades building up the idea that all you need is yourself, and independence is key to being happy and strong. Sellers love this, as they make higher profits due to selling more items to individuals rather than shared items. Most advertising is based around this idea of 'it's good to be selfish'

Now everyone is an individual and all powerful (LOL), this is the result.

Yep, companies make more money with people being apart not together, the dating apps boom proves this.

They want to keep people on there for along as possible to make maximum profit.

Yeah I've never thought about that and it often made me wonder what the tattoo obsession is about as I just associate tats as being masculine, think you might of nailed it right on the head.

Its a sad thing to be honest. All men want is,

Femininity
Food
Sex
Peace

All these require ZERO effort from women and costs them nothing. Yet they struggle to offer any of these and hold them to ransom.
 
Whereas I love the look of a woman covered in tattoos and huge fake eyelashes. Horses for courses.

I also don’t prejudge a woman’s personality based on what they look like.
 
Dating in your 50's is very different, even if the women are in their 40's in my experience. I’ve not used the swiping left/right thing as that is not for my generation but when I was dating after divorce I found finding attractive women of a similar age to date fairly easy.

I actually think the 20/30 year olds of this world have lost the skills we had to learn the hard way. Chatting to women face to face and keeping them engaged and that is more likely the issue today. Easy in WhatsApp, less so for many face to face.

Yet, if you are not good looking to a women they will instantly reject you. Doesn't matter how good your personality is. This is where a lot of men loose.

I don't mind a woman covered in tattoos but it screams to me "good for a short time, not for a long time" I wont commit or settle down with them.

All these women covered in tatts seem to forget, one day they will get old and their body will change during the aging process. Tattoo removals are already sky rocketing despite them more being accepted now in society.

Yesterday you said average/ugly men just need to dress better and sort out hygiene..

Yes, to increase their success rate of not getting rejected. I didn't say it was 100% bulletproof.

A fat guy who dresses well is going to be more successful than a fat guy looking like a tramp. That's just common sense, don't even need to relate it to dating.

Yeah that's it exactly, what with the shiny look and those ultra white teeth, also yeah they do all seem just carbon copies of each other, lots also seem to have very similar personalities too, same with the guys, they all are virtually the same person on these shows from the little bits I've seen. I don't watch much reality tv, just used to watch big brother and latter few series I noticed it, just everyone seems to be the same as the last with zero interesting characters like they used to have in the early big brother.

I'm not speaking of shows. I'm speaking of quite a number out and about. Not all but there is a big rise in them looking like this for years now. Yet I hear the normal women who are really nice looking that don't need much makeup calling them... well you can imagine. The normal women I've found has nicer personalities than these who are obsessed with the plastic look and bright white teeth that makes their tans/make up look bizarre.

You're also seeing a number of this same look on twitch and Youtube, anywhere there is a video camera. The same look at horse races or any big events with mass gatherings. Dresses they can hardly move in or shoes that are so tall they're almost breaking their ankles. Almost like the Spice Girl look.

Then there is the other look that is taking place for a while, shaved on the one side as their hair drapes over away from it or over the shaved part of their head. Cyberpunk? As well as the psychedelic look. I'm seeing so many women these days with bright pink, red, green, cyan, burgundy or full on mixed colours. In between all the tattoos. Some less some a crazy a ton. All over their neck, shoulders, chest and arms. Less so from the bottom of their legs up.

All this to post on Instagram and such. Selfies and selfies everywhere.

It's a red flag to me, shows they are thinking short term. With the "forever young" attitude.

No, I have standards and I have met women like this. Who are......single! And wonder why after 30+ they can't lock a decent man down.

Very few men take them seriously unless the are tattooed themselves.
 
Red flag for me: Shaved eyebrows which are then drawn back on to replace the real eyebrows that were shaved off. Just why??







EDIT: Yes this is tongue in cheek. But still... why?

Which is usually drawn higher where they were shaved. Or heavy drawn flat marker shapes. Or the ones they glue on after shaving them.
