I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but it needs to be said: there aren't enough quality men to date which is why women are struggling to find partners and aren't participating in dating.
Sure, not ALL men there are some good guys out there but not enough to make sure most women are partnered. I don't know why we feel like we're all skirting around saying this.
The thing is, realistically, most women want variations of the same thing. We want a guy with a job, whose nice, and decent looking (some wiggle room here as we all find different things attractive) and who we also have feelings for and things in common with. Someone we enjoy spending time around. Kind of like a friend we also want to have sex with. It's my opinion it shouldn't be that hard to find this. It's not asking for too much. If you're a semi functioning adult you will check most of these boxes.
Yet, most men don't want serious relationships that is why the dating scene is ****ed up. It's not that us women are doing something wrong and neither are these men necessarily. They just don't want relationships. My thing though is that I don't feel like I should feel like I have to have sex with these guys if the situation isn't turning in my favor like at all. That's why I don't date.
I've had too many mid-ugly guys try and be slick and play me because I thought if I gave them chances it would turn in my favor. Nope.
Anyways, this is my two cents. And I'm not saying that all couples are perfect and have all these qualities, but yeah.
Edit: Replying to comments about men not being 'ready,' for relationships. That's fine they don't have to be ready. I just won't be ready to have sex with them then.
