If you’re all so concerned about dudes not getting dates, then do something that results in dudes getting dates. And yes, I speak as a man myself—albeit one who has not been single for a long time.
I mean, to be fair, it’s a journalistic outfit and their job is to write about stuff, not fix problems.
The problem is it pays to keep people single for too big a corporation. Male loneliness is its own whole industry, and dating apps are riding shotgun. There is also an industry for women’s loneliness, it just manifests in different ways.
The point is, capitalism got involved in our love life because there was a fuckin dollar in it. And when people aren’t actively looking for love, those dollars disappear. Hence the current situation.
What the hell did I just read?

I get that, but it also seems like there’s a lot of hand-wringing—almost the sense that dudes are entitled to dates.
But getting a date takes work, going in a good date takes work, and keeping the relationship going after that takes work too.
All this takes an investment. And if you aren’t willing to put in the work, nothing will happen for you.
