No doubt the War Street Journal article treated the subject of WGTOW in a neutral and dispassionate manner whereas men are ceaselessly mocked and derided for boycotting dating and marriage especially by the luminaries of conservatism, inc.

In general if men settle they try to make the best of it while if women do they will always harbor a degree of resentment towards the lesser man she settled with. And these days women, even the "frumpy fives", want (and think they deserve) Chad Chaddington and they won't settle for less.

Unfortunately, this trend will have very bad implications for the white race as eventually birth rates will go negative and a mass die off will begin. As it is I think the only white subgroups having children are the poor and the wealthy so there will likely be a decline in racial quality. Working and middle class white families are shrinking and disappearing as a result of the trends described in this article.

Actually, the statistics cited by the Wall Street Journal overlooked the fact that the happiest women were those who were married and had children. The media is overlooking this fact staring them in the face. And don't forget: While women may be the gatekeepers for sex, men are the gatekeepers for commitment.

Young men are at fault here as well. It’s easy to point blame to women but a lot of women just know how modern society works and tend to be more diligent students and workers. What they lack in quantitative abilities they make up for in agreeableness and the ability to plan. Young men also fry their dopamine receptors on weed, porn and video games and this generally leads them to be less successful. Encouraging young men to pursue professions that they like and are good at, as well as pay well, is an obvious solution.

Right, because young women are known to stay away from weed.

I recently horrified my father by telling him that every single man my age has watched porn; I think this does make it harder to form lasting relationships.

Both sexes have their ongoing issues. Trad cons just like to highlight men’s faults, without showcasing women’s faults and worst still not offering any advice to improve themselves as young men, so they turn to Andrew Tate.

So depressing, and Trump or nobody else can change this?? The not being obese is a huge thing, because I notice on the dating apps that is mostly what you get.

If a girl on a dating app only shows facial shots or from the shoulders up then she is likely a large marge.

Absolutely that has been my experience.

There are some things you can do individually:

1) get rich

2) look nice

3) maximize your dating pool by moving to a college city (anywhere else and they're all tattooed)

4) don't be a total dweeb

As a nation the outlook is very grim, but you can't just accept being a victim of statistics. Most men are complete losers so it isn't impossible to stand out.

Maybe Ozempic and equivalents will help save the day here. We can hope I suppose.

If I was a cognitive elite I would ask this question. I think both sexes take GLP-1s so it adds both men and women back into the dating market at approximately the same rates and has a net effect of 0.

That's an interesting hypothesis. I'm not sure exactly how it would play out, but my premises would be that it would greatly increase intra-female competition, because a lot women interested in relationships who are quite overweight, but otherwise attractive would rapidly move up the sexual marketplace hierarchy.

For men I'm not sure it's quite as clear cut because 1) outside of dating apps, women are not quite as concerned with looks as other factors of attraction, but 2) when they are judging by looks, their standards tend to be considerably higher than men's and I don't think ozempic guys would clear the hurdle of being dating-app attractive in the same way ozempic girls would, because 3) for a guy, skinny fat is not the same thing as jacked. And finally, 4) not being fat would stop being a signal that a guy is well-put-together, decreasing the other factors of attractiveness associated with not being fat.

Hard to say though, as there will be a ton of social factors at play and a lot of them are highly subjective and socially mediated.

This is very thoughtful. Yes, I think the resulting intra-female competition might make women more likely to “settle” (ie lower their expectations) or perhaps leave the market entirely, as Scott suggests in the article. Regarding men, I only know how women react in real life; dating apps seem to make us go a little crazy as a collective

Whites becoming a minority is a guarantee. White female standards have reached ridiculous levels.
