The thirty-something, perplexed single woman is today's new cultural icon. Why There Are No Good Men Left is the first book to take a serious approach to analyzing where she came from and to ask how she can realize her dreams of lasting love.

my opinion: How about starting with not telling the short men that approach you that you "have a boyfriend".

Dude stop pissing in the wind, all you do is get it on your shoes.

You’re also not an incel, so what are you bitchin about?

You are a racecel (only pretty White women 7.5+ or higher)/escortcel right?

Great men are left.
Expired milk is just invisible to me.
The cope is real with the walking dead.

That book was published in 2003. 30 something women in 2003 were Gen X'ers. The mating environment has changed significantly since the late 1990s/early 2000s.

30 somethings of the 2010s-2020s have more abundance than the 30 somethings of the late 1990s-early 2000s.

When that book was published, swipe apps didn't exist, social media didn't exist, and smartphones didn't exist. Online dating websites were just coming out of being stigmatized.

Maybe stop hitting on women who have a boyfriend?

He's getting the fake boyfriend excuse.

Short men are unwanted in the mating market. You're Gen X. It wasn't as vicious for you as for Gen Y/Millennials after you.

At 5'10", women have rejected me for height numerous times and my height is essentially average. I can't even imagine how bad it is for below average males.

Defeatist attitude. Plenty of short men have no trouble at all finding women, but they're not frustrated over things that are out of their control.

Where are you meeting these women and how would you are them on 1-10 scale? While it's no secret that women prefer tall men, it's hard to imagine that at 5'10, your height would be an absolute deal breaker. Un the U.S., only 14.5% of men are 6 ft+. If all women refused to date men of average height, 85% of them would be single.

Me? Naw never been with a pro (that I know of), did date a stripper in my 20’s would be surprised if she turned tricks, met her the dance floor of I club I frequented in El Paso.

And I have a strong preference for Latinas-see the last thing I posted in the meme thread for more info. As far as 1-10 ratings I really don’t believe in them but use the scale as some sort of way to communicate my 1-10 preferences to others. I find most average white American women kinda boring, again see meme thread.

heck I’ve dated up to 6’ tall chicks and I’m 5’10, it’s not common, but it’s achievable and I’m no Chad. I prefer 5’3”girls, just seem to nestle in my arms better, but I’ve had super intimate relationships with much taller ones, it’s dependent on many things other than their stature.

Yea a preponderance of women will not date men shorter than them, and there are a lot of 5’1” girls that will only date >6’.

It’s life.

Most of the "Where Are All The Good Men" complaints are coming from CC riders that can't settle for an average man once they've been exposed to too many Chads, and they're only interested in the absolute apex of men.

The subreddit /WhereAreAllTheGoodMen has excellent examples of this.

How would you know if she did?

No way I could know and when I found about the stripping I dropped her the next day, total time in less than two weeks, and she sucked in the sack, and not in a good way.
