Why Dating is hard for Men in 2022

It is probably harder than ever before for Men

Nowadays, just about all developments in our society can be quantified using data from the Internet. It’s the same with dating. The data speaks for itself: It’s getting harder and harder for men to get a girlfriend or even casual sex. The average man has become unattractive to women.

Here are some examples that confirm this trend:

On the dating app Tinder, the top 80% of women only like the top 20% of men based on attractiveness.
More than 80% of men are rated as below average by women.
The number of sexless men has recently tripled (2008 to 2018).

My own experience confirms this as well. I see many of my friends struggling with women, even though most of them are very athletic. I would not call them unattractive and still, they can not attract the quality of women they would want.

What are the reasons?

Social Media

Several aspects of social media make it extremely difficult for men. The first point is that the dating market has become infinitely large. You can contact people all over the world. Whereas men only competed for women a few decades ago with the other men in their village, today the competition is virtually unlimited.

What do you do when your crush gets invited by a famous rapper to his huge mansion via Instagram? I can tell you from my own experience. Famous athletes have repeatedly slid into the DMs of my ex-girlfriend.

In addition, the demands of women are increasing due to social media. Every day they see pictures of male models with their perfect bodies on the beach or of their favorite attractive actors. As a result, you as a man are compared to these incredibly attractive men more and more, even if this only happens subconsciously for women.

Women are more independent than ever before

More and more women are pursuing careers. A few decades ago, things were very different. This development is of course very good, but for men, it makes the dating game harder. Women don’t need a man anymore, because they earn their own money. Therefore, they rather try to get the man they really want instead of settling for a man because she is forced to and he can provide for her and the offspring. This naturally raises the bar for men.

Women are very picky by nature

All these developments come to the well-known phenomenon of hypergamy. Women tend to date more socioeconomically better off men. For example, most women want a man who earns more money than they do.

So women are naturally picky. From an evolutionary point of view, this makes perfect sense. After all, they have to be sure that the man will pass on good, healthy genes and that he will be able to provide for the offspring, in other words, that he will be financially stable.

An interesting fact on this subject: the current world population is descended from twice as many women as men.

How is this possible?

Imagine that every woman has a child. Every man has 2, so one from each of 2 women.

So men have been dealt a worse hand in the dating game for a long time.

If you do not believe me, check this article.

The men at the top of the hierarchy are all the more successful for it. Just like the tinder data, this fact also shows: all women want the men at the top. The winner takes it all.

That may sound unfair. But that is just the nature of things. Survival of the fittest might tell you something if you’ve been paying attention in biology. Accepting this is the first step in the right direction.

What to do?

We men cannot change the game. We can only accept the rules and play it as well as possible. That’s why it’s enormously important to be the best version of yourself. Even if you haven’t won the genetic lottery, you can get a lot out of it by doing the following things:

Be in shape. Go to the gym and eat well.
Work on your social skills.
Be ambitious in your career.
Dress well.
Stop watching porn. This one is crucial and will change the game for you.
