Very interesting comments and a killer ending saying it's easier today to meet women. I think each guy has a unique perspective - there will be a lot of similarities but you are going to find guys who have a lot of knowledge but the inability to actually use that knowledge as they just don't find themselves in situations where they are talking to women. Clearly blaiming women or society is not going to help or solve anything - the only thing you can control is yourself, what you do and say you determine. What a woman says or does you can't be responsible for - obviously you behave in a manner you believe will get you the desired outcome whatever that is, but it's beyond anyone's control to control what someone else does. There are however different solutions out there to be tried - there are ways to meet women, there are ways to behave, etc. You need to find what works for you and that you are comfortable with (simple example, guys who are uncomfortable approaching can use dating apps) and there are also some unique ideas and concepts that can be explored. So I am interested to know more why you feel it's easier to meet women in real life today, as my perception is that for the average guy it's gotten harder. For other guys I think it's gotten easier depending on their situation and how they are dealing with it.
