According to some the dating market is completely trashed.

[pelvischestly]

If the market is completely trashed how as men of knowledge do you fix it. Or do you want the market to stay "trashed" so you can finger point at everyone else but yourself as the "problem". It's one thing to sit around and talk about something is broken over and over yet be useless when it comes to fixing it, while doing nothing but complaining about it being unrepairable and a whole other thing to be the man who actually repairs things to use.

it can't be fixed without a culture shift, but the market is only trashed if you're looking for something that isn't in the market.

OP, the onus is on the individual to accept personal responsibility for one's actions. Sitting around and talking as you say helps us to develop a perspective on the market. Whether or not it is "trashed" is reserved for the judgment of the individual.

We aren't going to go out and change the brokenness over night.

We can't change others. We can only guide ourselves to the best of our ability to accept or ignore (or monitor our personal investment) in situations (or people) we choose to associate with.

We aren't perfect. We're human. We're going to make mistakes. Hopefully through those mistakes... we reach wisdom with maturity.

We influence the market in a positive direction through our interpersonal growth and living by example.

Who gives a ****? Just do whatever the **** you wanna do.

It is if you think of it as a 'market'.

But people are people, whatever the economists may think.

And then you have a choice; will you calibrate your behavior to the norm, or will you pursue excellence?
