The Rise of Lonely Single Straight Men

Maybe it is the way you say it? What is with calling people 'second hand' is that a done thing in your world?
Indeed the men I've know have a multitude of hobbies to keep their interest, or 'fill the void' of not being in a relationship. The women, not so much.
I've just had a look at the pew study the article are based on and the original article in psychology today is pretty lazy, the pew study notes a rise in both sexes of being unpartnered. The article ignores this and instead focuses on men, noting that men make up the bulk of dating apps and sites (nothing new), men are typically happier in a relationship (nothing new), ignores previous studies that show men have always been happier later in life when compared to women or how women in general are unhappier than they were 40/50 years ago.
Seems to me that the psychologist in question had a piece about 'lonely, single men' before hand and used the pew study to fill in the blanks so to speak. Hell, the cynic in me would question if its been written to counter the rise of the '30+, lonely, single cat ladies' that are peppered everywhere across social media.

Yes of course. Virgin / virginal means untouched or unsullied. Secondhand means used. Even 1 careful owner is spiel for secondhand
Why do you think some men insist on a virginity test? They don't want to be buying into the secondhand market unknowingly. Sheesh, people get so sensitive when the truth is spoken in plain English. I think the wife is a bit more PC, she seems to favour saying "been round the garden a few times".It's just plain weird

My experience of dating women in their 30s with no kids was interesting.

exactly, seemed he based it on his tik-tok service he is promoting for his echo chamber market segment, so, all self-fulfilling/serving - do, other, middle aged men do tik tok.
With so many options, it’s not surprising that women are increasingly selective. I do a live TikTok show (@abetterloveproject) and speak with hundreds of audience members every week; I hear recurring dating themes from women between the ages of 25 and 45: They prefer men who are emotionally available, who are good communicators, and who share their values.

I assumed it was a going to be a pretty shallow click bait analysis tbh, thanks for confirming it.
I've always said if your single into your 30's theres ultimately something wrong with you (goes for both sexes before the usual start frothing)
Its not sensitive, you are just plain rude and I find it quite strange for people to refer to women as 'second hand'. I've never known anybody insist on a virginity test either. Some strange world you inhabit.Yes of course. Virgin / virginal means untouched or unsullied. Secondhand means used. Even 1 careful owner is spiel for secondhand

Ironically Chris Wilson hates Muslims, but seems to have a lot in common with their extremists.

No it's plain English, and not some politically correct verbosity to flatter women who have put it about a bit
I guess that depends. Are both partners earning the same? Are both partners long term plans aligned?
I earn 3x my wife's income because of the industries we both chose to build our careers in. But most of the big financial draws are due to desires in her life, such as children and bigger houses. If it were just left to me I would buy a (still lovely) property in a quieter and cheaper location. But my wife has always wanted the big house and drove the decision to have children. Obviously it is a joint decision and I have agreed to it at each point in life. But if I were single then I would be doing an easier, lower paid job, with lower costs such as a small apartment. I am sure I would be financially better off if I had never married and had children.

It should be possible to talk about the points being made without getting hung up on the language used.
It isn't even necessary to debate everything - it's fine to let someone have their say and not respond to it. Especially now you can just click a reaction emoji.

Actually if you had a mind to search my posts, you will find that on several occasions I have said I am in agreement with some aspects of the Muslim religion. But I have never said I "hate" Muslims, at all, can you point me to where I have said this, or are you making it up? I think Muslims and Islam have some sound values.
No, it's a throwback to some bygone puritanical Victorian illusion of female chastity, that never existed in the first place, and nowadays just promulgated by school children or mgtows who are just scared of women.No it's plain English, and not some politically correct verbosity to flatter women who have put it about a bit
Anyway virgins are rubbish as they don't know what they are doing, an experienced woman is far better

So are you saying it's ok for the ment to have had sex before, but not women...Yes of course. Virgin / virginal means untouched or unsullied. Secondhand means used. Even 1 careful owner is spiel for secondhand
