>>1128377it's objectively harder for men to date women nowadays. it's different when you're an adult than when you're in your teens and some ditzy teen roastie wanted to have you as her 10th boyfriend/trophy. women work now and they usually view men higher on the social ladder than they are as suitable partners. romance itself has been greatly exaggerated and glorified in entertainment media. people think they'll find "a perfect person" and bang like pornstars. a lot of people, both men and women, just avoid proactively trying to start a relationship just because of all the hurdles you have to go through.
so it's not that bad bro. it's just a sign of the times.
