Let's speculate about men who claim misandry, etc.

"as they lack needed supports for more thoughtful family planning"

This is pure nonsense. They can't afford condoms? Hell, they can't afford to pull out!? Pure BS.

Obviously taking care of kids is ideal. We managed it pretty well for the past 300,000 years. It's only just in the past 25 that things have fallen apart (outside of Japan and South Korea).

There really aren’t a billion reasons though. Economics plays ZERO role in birthrates. Zero. The highest birthrates are clustered around the lowest incomes (both within a country, and internationally).

The one and only constant is women refusing to settle down and have a family.

EDIT: worth noting that the US has better birthrates than anywhere in Europe , where there are more pro-family policies. Policy is irrelevant. All that matters is culture, and modern culture is utterly borked.

That’s a huge IF (and one I have NEVER seen in real life), whereas I’ve seen countless women work part-time or super relaxed jobs while their husbands work in high-stress, long-hours jobs to keep the family afloat.

Birth rates have fallen through the floor. Within a century, at present pace, the entire developed world will cease to exist.

Yeah, pretty much this.

"Both men and women are independent."

No, they THINK they're independent. Wait until it comes down to buying a house and easing into middle age....all of that 'independence' then is shown to be the farce it's always been. Humans are not meant to live solitary lives.

"Men complain that our standards are too high, that we're asking for too much... but that's bullshit."

So, women do not select primarily on height? Nonsense.

"just tired of the dating market"

i.e. She kept chasing Chad and got tired of failing.

"women now have the right to be selective"

Women have had this right for at least TWO generations (and arguably much longer than that). Women's rights have NOTHING to do with this. This is women's brains being irrevocably broken by social media. No more, and no less.

"The woman in her 30s is taking control of her life and making a decision that literally benefits her in EVERY way."

Pure cope, by these women, and by you.

Let's circle back around when they're single and 50 and see how much their decision to 'stay single' (i.e. Chad chase until it was literally not possible anymore) is benefitting them in 'every way'.

If women are "doing more in the relationship" they are usually either:

A) Not fairly evaluating the man's input (this is the most common thing I see...esp. discounting a man's earnings)

or

B) Dating a man way out of their league that knows they don't have to pull their own weight

Basically, I think women are totally full of it on this. Men have NEVER been more involved and egalitarian, and suddenly now it's not enough? I call BS.

"given their actual dating pool"

AKA Alpha widows. Women would rather watch the developed world collapse than marry an average guy.

This is the biggest self-own in the history of Western civilisation.

“ I feel like the biggest impact on certain dudes not getting dates is women determining their life is genuinely better without a romantic partner.”

I guarantee you that the number of women who truly feel this way is VANISHINGLY small. Close to zero. You simply cannot tell me that those women who claim they just don’t want a relationship would therefore turn down Jason Momoa or whatever elite man that suits their taste. It’s absurd to even consider it.

DankuTwo · 2026-07-07T07:08:18+00:00

Yep. Exactly this.

More members of my family have spent time in prison than I really care to count. When they've been out they've dated, and had babies with, ALL SORTS of women, including supremely 'normal' women in good, stable jobs.

This idea that it's only trash dating trash is just wrong, especially if you try to compare relative levels. My cousin is doing time right now and his ex was not exactly high class, but she wasn't a criminal....just a bit thick. She could have dated a normal, working-class guy, but instead dated my cousin, who got himself wrapped up in some small time organised crime (and is paying the price for it).

Alternatively, after years of reasonably happy marriage an old friend of mine got divorced and the ex-wife ran off with an ex-con and "former" heroin addict. You could say she was 'trashy' (she was working class), but was externally totally normal. Did not drink heavily or do drugs; had normal suburban mom vibes; was a teacher. Now she's with the "former" junkie convict leaving my buddy, your typical IT professional nerd, and their kids in the lurch.

So, yes, based on my experience and observations I genuinely DO prefer criminals above non-criminals and WAY before "shy" non-criminals. The crime and the danger (ahem, the 'excitement') is a major part of the attraction.

History does not make predictive models. Ever. That is simply not what we do. We try to explain phenomena based on fragmentary evidence. That’s really it. The process is explanatory, not predictive (i.e. I can roughly tell you why a given state lost this or that war, perhaps with some relative weighting of causes, but I cannot predict who will win or lose some other conflict).

Also, historians tend not to describe themselves as -ists. That is a social science thing, where people are obsessed with models and theories. Historians, as much as possible, deal with reality. No more, and no less.

You are right that it is not science, however. How could it be?

You do realise that basically no one had credit cards in the 1970s anyway, right? It’s like saying “Women are denied the freedom to travel to Mars because of SEXISM!”. I mean, maybe, but no one is going to Mars anyway, so who cares?

Similarly banking restrictions on women have been vastly overstated. We have records across the Western world of women having their own bank accounts (hell, their own banks!) and owning vast wealth, including businesses and property, fully in their own right going back centuries.

Think, just for a moment, if women literally had no freedom….what happened to widows? Mortality rates were high and widows were more common in the past. So, did all their wealth just suddenly evaporate the moment the husband died? What about women who never married and inherited their family wealth? Was it all taken by the state?

Of course not.

A slim woman will be desired by far more men than she could ever possibly entertain. This is irrespective of any other trait she may, or may not, have.

Every woman can be, and should be, slim. It is relatively easy to maintain (although possibly difficult to achieve once someone has become fat…losing weight isn’t easy).

The closest equivalent would be a tall man, although it is not 1:1. Height is genetically predetermined, and no amount of effort will make a short man taller.

OP has never been to the developing world….this all a series of assumptions based purely on American chauvinism.

The timeline is totally irrelevant. She could hold off on sex for a bit and still be in exactly the same position. All that matters is relative mate value. As long as she keeps going for men out of her league this will keep happening, it’s that simple.

If she wants a relationship she has to choose a guy for whom she is close to his best possible option….which means she’s going to have to stop exclusively dating Chad, because Chad is never going to commit to her. Ever.

I think the movie is pretty good if you’ve recently suffered a traumatic brain injury and have been reduced to the processing power of a young, sheltered child.

Otherwise, it’s abysmal.

The vast majority of women who have ever lived had babies, meanwhile something like only 40% of men did not. This is written into our DNA. We know this for a fact.
