  1. There are online calculators which can show the percentage of men they're seeking. For these women, they're seeking 0.001% of men. The small number of men in that percentage have young women lining up to date them and they dump them at 25 to replace them with another younger woman. It's simply delusional.

  2. Same in the west if you haven't found someone and got married by your mid 20's at the latest. Online dating is the commodification of dating, to treat it in the same way as commerce.

  3. It's been made worse with social media. Not only now do you have to adhere to outlandish requirements that most men will simply never achieve, now you must also be lucrative for social media clout and attention.

  4. As do the 50 and 60yr old men. As the OkCupid data goes. The difference being is that men do not treat their preferences as non-negotiable and will date down and compromise.

  5. The consequences of hypergamy happening in real time.

  6. Hypergamy in action.

  7. Ironically, dating in the west is starting to transition to a polygnyous model. Where a small percentage of highly attractive, high status men are getting all the attention and call all the shots whilst increasing numbers of men are getting nothing. Problem is, the latter men will feel as if they have no place or skin in the game regarding society and therefore will not contribute.

  8. The problem is, men don't care about a woman's status, wealth or educational attainment. Due to hypergamy, women do. There was a scientific study around the transition of Hong Kong from the UK to China where Chinese women near Hong Kong left China to find wealthier Hong Kong men when it became easier to move to Hong Kong.

  9. The vast majority of those men are treated as if they don't exist.

  10. They're chasing the top 0.001% of men worldwide. Men in that calibre can easily date 21 year old women and dump them at 25 with plenty of young women lining up to date him. It's pure delusion.

  11. I fail to see how "I want someone to acknowledge my existence" is considered too high a standard for a single man to have. Because that's where we are now with a sizeable number of single men.
