Youre right perhabs I was mistrusting the data so much because the difference just seemed surreal. As it turns out its just completely blown out of proportion by neglecting marriage status and strange age classification 18-24 year olds and 25-35 year old are much more realistic.

When I looked up German studies (who were much up to 5 times the sample size ) it got me like ok something is up.

Now this one I think gives a much better picture

also sadly I couldnt find the methodolgy the author used except he based it of this census which a***yses households (which honestly seems to make alot more sense than the vague feeling of what being single means)

Some of us just need to accept that we will be alone forever. Nobody will ever love us. We might as well contempt ourselves with living the Otaku life - video games and shows on the TV are the maximum happiness we will ever achieve.
Love, friendship, happiness, get all that out of your head. That's reserved for them, not for us

I mean man, that mindset isn't helping. Like believe me I was there, but life is good and filled with love. You just have to start doing being that love that you seek and I swear to GOD it will work out better. Trust me man.

Staying in that void for so long can make you bitter, and it's ok to be there I've been there trust and to me personally there is no shame in it despite what "cool people" on here say.

But just try everyday to push that bar a little and you will slowly see a better path form. Just bring a little love to people everyday and it'll pay off, even if you don't see it in front of you at the time.

I had people straight up thank me for being proactive and being there for them, people that were going to SD or just needed someone to listen to them and they appreciated super duper small gestures.

Keep going man you got this

No it is not? Especially when the Math is skewed by extraneous variables like dating older men?
It's not n = 6,000 of pre-qualified, valuable participants; it is a sum of people who are not relevant to the study's hypothesis but are not acting as a control, either

Shut the f*** up, i didn't ask for your goody happy advice. You have been there? Nigga, I have been there and I can assure you that it will never get better, only way out is to die. My only wish is that I could burn this world down with me but since I can't, killing myself if enough.

Ngl what I'm saying feels easy to say because I made it through a chunk of it, and you kinda need to experience coming out of it and looking at where you once were to realize that it's just perspective.

But if you can trust, just trust it'll be better. It'll feel radical trusting in a thing you aren't sure is even there, but there is something better man you never know that something better could be around the corner

There's nothing to come out of, this IS life. It's suffering. Living in 2023 when everything is so easy makes us forget that 90% of the human experience throughout 99% of history has been suffering.
Life is suffering, love is not real, nobody will ever truly love you, accept it.

this is such a depressing statistic imo. it proves so many red pill talking points.

what makes things even sadder is we can't even expect things to change soon. young men are lonely and isolated and there's not much we can do

i'm pretty lonely and as much as i eat well, go exercise, and hang out with friends it's very difficult to meet women for me because i'm introverted, which in 2023 is basically equivalent to staying single

What're you talking about, man? They tried to set out a credible nationwide survey of American dating patterns and surveyed 6,000 people?

Been awhile since I’ve made a cringe vulnerable post lol.

As a single black male, s*** is hard out here. Not the social type and have agoraphobia so I’m not going out meeting people really. I HAVE to rely on the internet for dating. Until recent years it wasn’t a problem but getting older and the game changing up has made it much harder. As a black male (or woman even) like everything else in life we have to be twice as good as everyone else to be seen as viable or a catch. Meanwhile other races can get away with bare minimum (not even that) behavior and still have no problem dating. When dating within our race we hold each other to annoying or ridiculous standards. Dating outside is even worse because fetish is usually somewhere at the core of the other persons attraction. It’s rarely because we are liked for being us. Idk. It’s bad all around.

It probably wouldn’t bother me if I was completely inept and unable to pull women at all. The fact I attract women but can’t find a sustainable relationship drives me nuts at this point. And I’m also self aware that I’m at an age where my personal circumstances come strongly into play why things are hard for me and I get that too. So I don’t even trip or hold it against women. But it sucks too because bc a mf don’t like being lonely either and I hate the whole side nigga gig.

I'll never understand why vulnerability is cringe, it's a perfectly fine post that I like and means something

Better than the wack one liners
