@j7704 women outnumber men on college campuses don't they? So from a class perspective, there are more women who consider themselves upper class than men. So therefore, there aren't enough "upper class" men to go around. And even if you do go to college women who go to college don't consider you on their level unless you hold a job with a title higher than theirs. If you're both on the same level, you're still not an attractive mate.

6:00 thank God someone finally said this. I can't believe you have the balls to go against this narrative. It's frustrating having the media constantly paint men as a villains. You don't think I'd date a woman making my salary or more? But women not only aren't interested, I now realize they ask me probing questions to figure out my salary. I've had women straight up say "I don't think you make a lot of money" and just walk off. Media couldn't care less. But God forbid if you flip those scenarios and a man said he wouldn't date a woman for any reason. You're a phobic or ism. For all the things society has asked us to accept while dating, the standards for men have only gotten higher. Make more money, be taller, more in shape, more charismatic, spontaneous and if you're not? That's fine, you're one tinder swipe away from being replaced. Instead the narrative is men don't accept women and have too insane standards for women. The media has created a completely false narrative. Even the beauty standards thing is bs. 80% of men are below average in looks to women whole its 50% for men. Yet Men's standards are too high. Women file 80% of divorces. But it's men who are blamed saying "if only you had been better, less abusive, less toxic." Dating and relationships is a lot harder than ever before for a normal dude.

I tried man. But the look on a woman's face when she does or thinks she makes more than you, it's something I can't unsee. The complete turn off. Not for lack of trying, I'd love to make decent money with a partner and not struggle in life. But the article assumes men just can pick women as we please. We can't. We pick from the options handed to us, and the options handed to most men are women who earn less than us. Women who earn more will openly say "I can do better than you." it's not even a secret, so I don't knoe why the articles and media never point this out.

@gauloise6442 all depends on who these women chase. The data shows women on dating apps are Insanely selective and only go after 15% of the men on the app (men will talk to most women on average). OK cupid and other dating sites have published this data. Women on apps simply need to pick different people. To suggest it's men as a whole who are sexualizing women on apps is a false narrative. Another creator did the economics of tinder. For the average guy using a dating app, he's lucky to get 1 match a day. In fact, the average number of matches for a normal dude is extrmely low compared to the average woman. But I mean, men have been saying this for ages online. Doesn't matter. The media will run with your narrative that it's young men sexualizing women rather than the truth which is women chase the same small group of men which allows those men to be complete jerks because there's another 10 ladies lined up.

@andergarcia4953 and I know a millionaire, therefore, no one in America is poor. It doesn't make it the norm. Men are not out here saying if a woman makes more money than them, it's a deal breaker as a whole. To focus on outliers is idiotic. Tom Brady won how many super bowls, so how hard is it? Just because you know of an example does not make it the norm.

Most career focused women don't even have time for a relationship anyway. Personally the career women I talk to don't have any emotional stamina left after their job. By the article's own admission, most women aren't even looking for relationships. How can men have relationships with women who don't want them?

You could read all the comments from other men... Or you can just say every dude is a liar and women are all victim's. Some people love to eat up msm narratives.
