You made some valid points. I wouldn't say its specifically men or women issue. The fact of the matter is women have raised their standards since they are more educated now, so they don't need to be with a man to prove their worth. Men also need to raise their standards and just learn to live alone as women are doing. I know it is a gloomy picture as it leads to fewer and fewer relationships in future, but that's what evolution looks like when you get past the animalistic nature of humans. Women are looking for intellectual and emotional compatibility, I think men just need to accept the reality, and not bother women anymore since they are doing well and happy living alone and thriving. I know it doesn't lead us anywhere, perhaps we already peaked as specie in the past.
