An important point:<p>In a world of free sex and abundant resources, for a man, it totally pays off to learn the art of seduction than other arts (productive stuff like STEM, economics etc....real stuff with economic value). Women are easy to get with the right amount of time, right words and actions. Education, moral values, caring nature etc. have almost ZERO appeal in attracting most vapid women in today&#x27;s world.<p>So why would most men (who don&#x27;t have economic worries...or are just dumb) put any effort in their most productive years learning important skills?<p>-------------------------------------------------------<p>This article also misses the observation that men are a spectrum of attractive to unattractive (whatever attractiveness means to women).<p>With that in mind, attractive men can quickly log on to a dating app, message a 100 women and some of those women will respond positively (leading to sex).<p>For unattractive guys, most girls don&#x27;t respond (so no sex for them).<p>Today&#x27;s dating world is so fucked up that most of my male peers have absolutely no interest in dealing with female emotional concerns. They end up in &quot;open relationships&quot; which women agree to be in (because they have been told it&#x27;s ok) and then suffer heartbreak....whereas the other guys (who don&#x27;t get sex) just sit at home playing video games.<p>Even women don&#x27;t want to &quot;settle&quot; until 30s by which they don&#x27;t have any sexual appeal to men.<p>Marriage just doesn&#x27;t have any appeal. What&#x27;s the point of getting married? What does a woman bring to the table that they can&#x27;t get themselves (except emotional turmoil)? There&#x27;s no reason to get tied in a legal commitment that if broken, would be extremely expensive and scarring.<p>Why won&#x27;t guys grow up?
They have grown up. Women are the kids expecting a man to marry them if they are not bringing anything to the table except declining sexuality and years of partying and baggage and still expecting men to take their legal burden.<p>Source: 27 yr old male in SF city.
