I just don't see what's in it for me.

Sex - isn't that special
Cooking - modern women won't do it
Cleaning - modern women won't do it
Childcare - modern women won't do it
Divorce - a huge risk

The math just doesn't add up.

Edit:
I'm the decent looking guy with a great career that women supposedly want, finding a woman isn't particularly hard. Although most of the good looking ones have paired up now I'm in my mid 30s.

Also most of the women I know are cheaters, including those I've dated but also those I know. Also my parents and the parents of the vast majority of my friends are divorced, so there's a lot of evidence around me showing marriage not working out. In all cases involving a kid - the woman took the house and the kid and the guy had to pay monthly.

Edit 2:
Economically - I believe that women have been tricked into working. The supply of workers has doubled, but the demand for workers has not. This means employers are able to get workers for a cheaper price. This is why families used to be able to survive on one salary (the man's) but now a family requires two salaries. So even if you want to live a traditional lifestyle (a housewife) you economically can't. The consequence being that the children aren't raised properly, the family doesn't eat well, and the property stock isn't as well maintained. It's actually economically worse than that because the family has to pay childcare. I can imagine a scenario where all the women quit work, men's salaries quickly double, the family no longer has to pay childcare, and women realise it was a scam.

Seems from reading these posts that the main problem is that people are trying to meet people on dating apps and websites.

I tried Internet dating once and it was bloody awful, for both of us, most awkward meal I've ever had :p

Other than that I've met all my partners 'organically', at social events, through friends etc. That way you actually get to filter people out before you get thrust into this 'dating' scenario, and you avoid all the time wasters, spongers, mentalists etc.
 
I'm no longer single but I sometimes wish I was. Not that I'm not happy in my relationship, as I'm fortunate my partner is also my best friend.

But being a single guy in this day and age is a blast. With all the dating apps or swinging sites you can literally find what you're after whilst you're dropping the kids off at the pool in the morning. I always found dating amusing as you either had a great date or hilarious anecdote to tell your friends. Internet dating made being a single guy much easier than it would've been without.
