Women are more educated than men and are in the workforce in larger numbers. There is less stigma about pre-marital sex. There is apps like tinder, which is like women shopping for Chads at a 100% discount. As women gain status, their standards go up, and they aren't content with a guy who isn't making more. The only reason civilization/patriarchy worked was because those in power knew that they had to deny status to women in order for women to settle with the majority of guys. Nowadays, having a 6 pack as a guy isn't special. I see 6 pack dudes trying to woo below average women all the time.
We have a situation in which men just can't keep up. And that's reality. People are gonna scream incel this incel that, but the problem won't go away.
There's a lot of truth to this. I'm a good looking guy, in shape, good underscored style, good sense of humor, at least I think, make pretty decent money with my own business in my mid 30's, and women still love to turn me down. Admittedly, if I'm on my game, I do quite well, but I'm slippin, it's just another rejection.
10 years ago, it was a little different, Women weren't quite as high n mighty. N I had no money, wasn't in nearly as good of shape, n to be honest, for a 26 year old, my hair was worse than it is for a 36 year old now (slow loss progession, actually at this point, a lot of ppl have leapfrogged me and my hair looks middle of the road for my age). N yeah I was 26, so my attractiveness was probably a bit higher just because of age, but it was different none the less.
Go back 5 years before that, when I was considered a young adult, n it was different still. Hypergamy has taken over gentleman, and there isn't much you can do. For now. eventually the marketplace will even out, when all this #metoo crap and 3rd wave women's "rights" subsides, and the pendulum comes back to the middle. But alas, I'll be an old man, n it'll be over for me. But some of you 16-20 year olds will still be in your 30's n early 40's, so you'll still have time. And that timeline is being optimistic, women have taken over, and white knight b****s n simps have let them.
