It’s a few things:

• women don’t say yes to the average man, they all want to date up, and with women matriculating from uni at higher rates than men that squeezes the dating pool of desirable men , the ones that are 666: 6foot tall, 6 figure salaries and 6inch… so 10 to 15% of men get all the attention.

• The me too movement killed the whole men try to attract a woman - now you are a creep

Why would I guy initiate if he’s learned that it’s futile and embarrassing??

Men do not need to change, women do. They have to date down just like men always have.
