The reality is that young men have always been “optional” in society. Biology looms large. Women seek to mate with the most high status males, evidenced by the fraction of men who get the majority of the “action” on dating apps and in life. Thus throughout history we’ve died in the wars and otherwise exist in the margins. An example of the desparity to me is the concept “mansplaining” woke culture disparages. Some wo…

Not if women are dating older men, or if there is a gendered difference in the way people interpret the question (ie: what the definition of single is). Probably some combination.
Then older single women should be more common than older single men. Damn, it's so tough for the older women out there in the cutthroat dating world. Why don't young single men start dating older women?

It is about men being single and male sexual happiness. Otherwise said, it is about what men should do to make themselves more happy. The implied assumption is that women are happy with status quo or might even have opposite interests.
That’s a hell of an assumption. My informed guess is once you scratch off the Instagram paint it’s an absolute disaster too.
The article was about men being single and male sexual happiness. It was not about female happiness or fulfillment other then when their choices affect male coupling. That is not bad or anything, but simply not the focus of the article.
Author wrote write article about men without putting mini outrage over women-on-Instagram which is perfectly fine.

Otherwise, strong disagree, as emotional involvement, which depends on so much more than if someone is "higher than 6", and the dynamic of pleasure of getting, and of giving, which highly depends on the other person, are 2 factors I'd say far outweight physical appearance.
Even without you as a factor, sex with a 10 can be very lousy, while sex with a funny, caring and passionate 5 can be out of this world.
I find it fascinating that this article only calls for young men to change their behavior but demands nothing of young women.
According to the article, women are good though? > The study found that among men under 30 years old, over 60 percent are single, almost double that of women in the same age bracket. Meaning women are happily in relationships with men over 30 probably?

I haven't seen that, really. I have seen people interpreting such age gap as a sign of guys immaturity or a general red flag for "that dude is looking to take advantage of you". I have never seen the "I would date that guy but he dates younger girls" thing. Having younger partner is status symbol for a men to show off to other men. It does not make him look like good potential partner to adult women tho.
> It does not make him look like good potential partner to adult women tho. I’m pretty someone who can and actively dates someone younger doesn’t care in slightest about opinion of people who are not in his priority bucket.
