“The Rise of Lonely, Single Men”

An article published on Psychology Today was repeatedly shared (by women) across all of my social media and I read it with (dis) interest, if pick me was a person it would be the author of this post.

You can be alone and absolutely not be (redacted) lonely.

Key Points:

It means valuing your own internal world and respecting your ideas enough to communicate them effectively. It means seeing intimacy, romance, and emotional connection as worthy of your time and effort.

I agree here (only) and I’d argue that intimacy, romance, and emotional connection is reciprocal. Please note, “worthy of your time and effort.” The author believes men are aloof, opposed to being aware and not willing to continuously give our time, (money) and effort when it is not reciprocated. Additionally, please tell me of a time when a woman has done this? Specifically the part about communicating effectively?

Don’t answer, it was rhetorical.

My last three experiences were with women who (to me) were checking off boxes from a list they paid $40 for from The Female Steve Harvey of some obscure Facebook Singles Group.

Dating Apps. Whether you’re just starting to date or you’re recently divorced and dating again, dating apps are a huge driver of new romantic connections in the United States. The only problem is that upwards of 62% of users are men and many women are overwhelmed with how many options they have.

This is dumb. A better statistic? 48.89756873543896231% of men use dating apps to hook up. Also, according to the official figures 62% of all statistics are totally worthless.

When did the narrative shift? Last month there weren’t enough options for women and today, today, today, today – what? They are overwhelmed with options?

I Remain convinced that men and women get in their own way. Stop allowing social media edicts to drive a false narrative for clicks to sell you Facebook Ads from The Female Steve Harvey of some obscure Facebook Singles Group.

Alone, but not lonely.
