Have women raised standards for mates so high that nobody qualifies for so long now that many and maybe most single men have just opted out? Rather than seeking females to bond with, are they now limiting themselves to their male friends and “friend zone” females for companionship and hookups with promiscuous females or prostitutes for sex?
I remember hearing one man summarize the dating scene nowadays this way: “It’s like going to a job interview but with a job interview but at the end you pick up the check.”
