The Dating Pool is failing everyone right now
The market is failing most people who are brave enough to be in it. Inequality is prevalent in dating as far as the eye can see.
Dating truly is trash right now. If you’re an average-looking man, you probably get little to no dating opportunities.
Most men view themselves as 5.9 out of 10. I would imagine if you’re a single man, you get flaked on when trying to arrange a first date, and you probably find texting a dense and mundane exercise to try to get a woman’s attention as no matter what happens, when you’re average looking it’s expected that you carry most the conversation. This is why I always go toe to toe with modern progressives. In their everyday lives, they’re fine with pushing things forward and have no gender roles, look, I’m for that too. But in dating. Most seem to like the old archaic guard.
I haven’t forgotten about the women. With some women, the issue might not be quantity, it’s quality. We do know that women find a match about 10% of the time and men around 0.6% of the time on most online dating platforms. Plus, that doesn’t include the random dudes hitting her up on social media and on the street. (The bold ones, anyway)
