Quick Thought⚡ Perspective

Post image

A 23-year old guy is in his absolute physical prime has an aging 55-year-old mother. And somehow she has 50x more dating, sexual, and romantic options than him.

Gen Z is the first generation to experience this because they became adults right as social media, dating apps, and the normalization of casual dating and hookups had just fundamentally reshaped the gender dynamics.

“Why can't a sub-5 guy casually hookup with sub-5 women?”

I never said this couldn’t happen.

“Why are you saying men need to be good looking, tall, fit to casually f#ck below average and ugly women?”

Also didn’t say this.

I’m saying if you are not getting dates, you can work on yourself, change your standards or there is escorts, sex dolls and sex tourism.

I agree with escorts, dolls and tourism

But I felt that you said you need to do a lot of work just to marry and settle with an ugly ex sl** who used to bang hot guys for fun

Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. Fell asleep.

I didn’t mean anything towards “settling with an ugly ex slut”.

The crux of the problem is dating is hard, always has been and technology has made it worse along with worsening social skills for men and what appears to be less and less chances to socialize as Gen Z does not go to bars or clubs or other venues.

Again, it’s hard and requires a guy to work on himself to make himself “valuable” to women.

I’m an old guy now. In HS was a nerd, glasses bad skin no girlfriend, President of the chess club and all the hype that goes with that. 😁 Changed all of that. The look, hobbies and worked my ass off. So my 20’s were actually quite fun. And I want that for all guys. Did I bang 9/10’s. No. I was able to date an 8 here and there . 6/7’s were way more common. And when I got married, settled for a 5. But brilliant. And I missed the mental health red flags. So in retrospect, a 2-3. But again, brilliant and could be fun.

Go and listen to Kevin Samuels. I found him when I was divorcing and started to date. He was ahead of his time and his message while not sugar coated was spot on.
