The Rise of Lonely Single Straight Men

Its a quite obvious culmination of a number of factors:

1. Women being free to choose whatever lives they want.
2. No real social stigma at being single past X age.
3. Able to have children later/IVF.
4. Society pushing the narrative that men are bad and women are the great (obviously both are rubbish compared to trans people who are the best).
5. Its very easy to amuse yourself as a singleton now in millions of ways.
6. People have much more active social lives despite family/etc so you are no longer an outcast as the singleton/no kids.
7. As a man you can live a fine existence of porn, computer games and GoT re-watches ad-infinitum.
8. Social media sells people a completely unrealistic expectation for life and happiness.
9. People are living at home and relying on parents much longer than ever.
10. People are far less mature than ever and think that maturity is ****-posting on twitter on *insert social justice topic de jour*

Its a mess but no one wants to put their head up and say anything about these things because they will have it cut off for suggesting that modern life isn't all its cracked up to be and perhaps in some ways, old fashioned views weren't as awful as some would like you to think.

Yes much has changed for the better but people aren't happier for it in a lot of cases.
 
Arguing about what each other finds attractive, deeply personal opinions, :P lol how stupid can we get?

I think eyebrow shaving and duck lips are the only 2 universally awful things that men can agree on, everything else really is personal opinion.

Deal breakers for me would be:

Massive fake boobs
Duck lips
Super heavy makeup
Really long fake nails - this is my number one hate. It quite literally screams "I do so little of substance that I can function without the use of my hands" which is never a good sign. Its almost always coupled with a number of other factors that are red flags as well.
 
Bang on about the nails. Unless of course she has a Russian accent and therefore minted or with connections. Either way best avoided.


Duck lips
Nails
Huge fake boobs
Small dogs
The colour pink
Any clothing item that says boutique.
Long hair.
 
anyone without a pet beaver... bring back the 70s
can't stand tattoos either it just shows the childish mentality of scribbling on your body for attention.
Minimal makeup always looks better.... how did this clown face syndrome come about.
anyone who fake tans too... not looking after you when you get skin cancer so no thanks
over size 12? time for a diet

should also add anyone on social media that uses it for anything other than keeping in touch with their family members.
anyone who watches utter crap on TV like strictly, love island or any of that celebrity obsessed nonsense

Agree with everything apart from being over size 12. Nout wrong with a chunky lady
 
Hmm.... Thread about an increase in single lonely men develops into what men like/dislike physically about women...

Thread delivers...
most of them are things any woman can achieve with minimal and in most cases less effort though.
it's not like "arms to pointy" people literally go out of their way to look ugly these days.,

what's wrong with looking like a normal human being?

Normal is subjective, people can look like however they want to look, no one is forcing you to date them :p
 
Can we please get this back on topic, for those saying that men have forgotten how to speak to women in person, this isn't the actual issue. A lot of men are fine with talking to women in person the issue is that 80% of partners find each other online.

HOW do you get their attention online? It's not through personality, it's looks and what you do. These days you need to show off, "Look I go on holidays, I go jet skiing or snowboarding" Or whatever it is. I personally don't like showing off, don't like taking selfies but unfortunately if you are in your 20's or even 30's that's just how the majority are.

It has almost become a point if you just like going to a restaurant to enjoy good food and you're not taking any photos or videos you're considered odd.
 
I agree until the end,

Chasing people who require that level of superficial is a no win scenario.

Theyre looks will fade, their personality is likely non existent / shallow.

I'd rather be single than chasing anyone to that level.


If I became single now? I have so many personal hobbies and aims to do more if stay single. I went for a week on my own kayaking in Norway last week. Best adventure of my life. You don't need a partner/spouse to be happy!

Not chasing them, you're doing those things to improve yourself.

I don't see how making more money, becoming healthier and fitter, building a network of contacts is considered chasing women.

Become a warrior in your garden, sort your life out so that you can take on responsibility in other areas. That give you a meaning and a purpose.

I was always very successful on dating apps, and when single would have multiple dates a week if I wanted. The secret? Invite them out on a date within the first two or three messages. I’ve spoken to many girls about this and they all say most men try and chat to them on the apps and it’s just rubbish. They have fifteen people having the same chat, “how was work?” “Here’s a funny meme” “oh I’m so lonely”. Whereas a few people like me would be asking them out, that night, for a drink. And you know what, most said yes. Those that didn’t, I moved along.

It was a numbers game, sure, but don’t try and get a connection online. The connection is got through chatting in the pub. This idea people don’t know how to have a conversation is true, they don’t. Because they don’t try and have one in real life.
