63 percent of men 18-25 are single. It's the highest it's ever been. SIXTY...THREE...PERCENT.
I've tried helping a few male friends in their mid 20's find girlfriends without any luck.
Now I'm early 30's myself and heavily online dated between 2015-2017 and had a lot of luck despite not really being attractive or skinny.
These guys aren't bad looking and a couple actually make decent money and have no luck.
There's been a major change in girls in their 20's compared to the girls in their 20's I talked to around 10 years ago.
Here is the big change I've noticed:
Dating used to be going somewhere in a public space like a restaurant or movie theater with no expectation of a 2nd date, her being your gf, etc. You dated to see "if you click".
Now girls won't go on dates unless they think some dude is "the one". Which is really odd considering people might look good on paper, but are actually shit in real life.
The reality is, the cost of living is so damn high anymore, trying to make it by yourself even making $25/hr is next to impossible. That's an after-tax take home of roughly $3,100/mo, but in places where even a starter home is $250k, there's no way in hell you could pull that off.
What's even more alarming, anytime I go to the store or a restaurant, I RARELY see couples below 30 anymore, most middle aged folks.
