A solution to the dating market problem and a societal problem that I do not agree with but is one that is slowly being lobbied for and implemented in reality, particularly in the UK, is to remove unattractive and low status men by identifying characteristics and behaviours, colloquially known as "creepiness" and the "ick", from establishments such as gyms and online dating apps as well as society. One thing to note is that feminists have political sympathy, influence and power. Involuntary celibates on the other hand (and that's the new, expanded definition of any man without a partner from the former and the media) have no power. They are dismissed, despised and hated to the level of some of the most evil criminals in history. Beyond help and not deserving of help. Which may go some way to explain why Dr Peterson gets the hated he does from his critics.
Something I have noticed as of late to back up these claims is the growth in TikTok content from women who complain about "creeps" in gyms who give them the "ick" for whom their only crime is to literally exist and be in their presence. In the UK we're seeing new laws to outlaw such behaviour. There has also been news articles during the passage of the Online Safety Bill of women being put in danger or even the victims of heinous crimes and of course, coincidentally, the arrest of Tate.
War was used as a method to deal with the problem of unattractive and low status "excess men" who would be given basic training, given a weapon and sent to the front lines. History might be starting to rhyme, starting with Russia and Ukraine.

I'm now in my forties. I am older than your average viewer and hopefully I can pass on some anecdotal experience even if what I say may not be what people want to hear. Whatever social connections you have now, you will eventually lose them as they move away, start families and don't have time for you any more. And you can't escape the ravages of time and health.
In terms of dating in middle age, it doesn't get better. Despite the claims of self-help gurus and life coaches where they tell you that if you go to the gym and look stylish, you can get endless twenty-one year olds when you hit thirty-five is not true unless you're rich (sugar daddy) or famous (Leonardo DiCaprio). What will likely happen if you try that will be the general reaction of "ew, gross" and others socially scalding you as large age gaps for most people still carry a social stigma. The reality is you'll likely in general (ie. not all) attract middle aged women whose expectations are so unrealistically high and have large body counts, are single mothers who will expect a step-dad, you to raise children who are not your own, who won't want any more kids or they are single women who have showstopping issues that make them unattractive to men. And chances are they'll have plentiful choice of men, orbiters and in terms of OnlyFans, it's far more considered as a method to make money than people would like to believe.
There's a saying - "the juice is not worth the squeeze". Those who are worth dating met their partners in high school and by middle age have been married for a decade or two, have children and a stable household. Any who do end up single don't usually reach the dating apps, they find someone very quickly. And as your social connections dwindle, the prospects of finding someone through friends, peers and networks disappears and you're left to the mercy of what is now exclusively online dating. I personally quit dating in 2016 and never looked back.
I was in an even worse position for numerous reasons - neuroatypical, poor social background, made homeless the second I left school, living independently from a very young age and so forth. Everything I have I had to work for from scratch (we also know from recent scientific studies that hard work is about 70% genetic, another blow to the blank slate self-help gurus and life coaches). People I know usually look in awe at where I am now and where I came from.
As time has gone on, I have become more politically cynical and jaded as I look more into politics, human nature and dating. I detest how I was lied to by my family, peers and society as to the brutal truth of life.
There's a reason why in the UK this video has been flagged by YouTube to contain a phone number for the Samaritans for people to call for help.
