No. 30+ men dating 30- women.
Where did 30+ women go in this equation?
Likely also single.

#73“It's a fact...that in societies like ours sex truly represents a second system of differentiation, completely independent of money; and as a system of differentiation it functions just as mercilessly. The effects of these two systems are, furthermore, strictly equivalent. Just like unrestrained economic liberalism, and for similar reasons, sexual liberalism produces phenomena of absolute pauperization . Some men mak…
Good writing, but bad argument. Some things that make those "systems" different: 1. The market domain is much "wider" than sex . Money influences every aspect of your life. 2. The exact same argument could be made about many other "systems of differentiation". Such as skill or physical and mental health. It's a cheap argument to make it seem like socialist arguments against economic inequality also applies to some ki…

Some ways that might be true I can think of are if you are someone who doesn't build any emotional connection to the other person whatsoever, and always just "do sex" your way, without much of the other person's involvement. 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…
Well, in almost every case, first there's bonding and building of a connection, but for me and I think the majority, the physical attraction plays an important part. The grade "6" is relative and the judgement will vary between individuals.

It's them who want something so it's on them to change.
Does that logic work for Blacks for instance ?
If you want something that you have a right to, other people have to change.
Not being discriminated is not a "nice to have", it's a human right.
Sex with attractive women on the other hand is definitely not a human right.
Is it just me who finds it ridiculous that this has to be spelled out?

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?
This reads like sarcasm, but I don’t really understand it. Is the cutthroat dating world not tough for the older single women out there?

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.
Many studies disagree with you thought.
Here's one article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/why-bad-looks-good/2...
Single women, it turns out, are the happiest. And then single women with kids. Men have to change or we'll become obsolete. Our UX, in general, is bad.

Yeah, the math on that is interesting. Either a huge proportion of women under 30 are in relationships with men over 30, or a lot of women under 30 are in relationships with men under 30 who are in simultaneous relationships with other women.
Or women under 30 are lying about being in relationship to not appear like losers.

#79"Young men must re-prioritize real-life relationships and intimacy attuned to the shift in priorities that women have already made" The priorities of women in their 20s are dating men in their 30s. This new stat and the accompanying Boomer commentary is genuinely one of the funniest memes so far in 2023. They literally don't understand the world they created for future generations.
30s single women complain 30s men being creeps for younger girls
You mean men prefer women who are at peak fertility? No way.

Not at all, we're not completely sure why but single women: single men is 2:1 ( https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3868557-most-yo... )
> Social circles have been shrinking for men and women, especially since the pandemic, but men struggle more. Thirty years ago, 55 percent of men reported having six or more close friends. By 2021, that share had slipped to 27 percent. I am surprised over this. I thought the boys have advantage over girls in pandemic friends keeping. First, they play videogames as a form of socialization much more and therefore pande…
But it turns out, we're just not very good at being friends or a social group.
