Actually, what’s happening is that men in the modern era have learned to apply the same cut-throat opportunism, pragmatism and enlightened self-interest in sexual relations that women have always applied and used for millennia to their advantage. And women hate this. They resent having the mirror reflected back on to their own preferences and behavior.
Women want to prolong the courting (dating) process as long as possible with as many different suitors as they can attract and experience. Men are opposite. They want to shorten the courting process down to zero, if only they could, reduce the risk of his sunk costs in prospects that don’t yield acceptable benefits (access to sexual intimacy). Dating apps facilitate this endeavor for the top 20-25% of males very nicely. The remaining 80% of guys are irrelevant, because they are pretty much invisible to women anyway.
Dating is dead. The sexual marketplace is now ruthless. If a guy has just above average looks and is lean, he doesn’t even have pay for a cup of coffee, never mind dinner and a movie.
Women are fucking and sucking such men on first date basis, and even bragging about it. 80% of the available but interest men can’t play the game. And the remaining men just won’t play it, because they know they don’t have to. You priced yourselves out of dating entirely. There is no oxygen left for dating and courting to flourish.
