We are in the middle of a crisis, an epidemic of male dating failure. You're probably already well aware this is going on, but here are some statistics in case you didn't know. 60% of American men under 30 are single and nearly 50% of men under 30 have not had sex in their adult lives. These statistics are absolutely insane and way out of proportion to what's been the case before. But what is the cause? Now, obviously, society has changed, but also men have changed and the situation is not getting better. In fact, it's probably getting worse. In this video, I'm going to explain exactly what's going on, how it applies to you, and why this crisis may actually be an opportunity. Fair warning, this one might be depressing at times, but there is a happy ending. The first major reason for this modern dating crisis is a lifestyle that absolutely kills male desire. It's simply too easy to be comfortable and too easy to get dopamine these days. We have video games, pornography, social media, things like that, all bombarding our brain chemistry and filling the role that would have been reserved for actual interactions and actual romance with actual females in the past. It's simply too easy to be stimulated and with no effort put in on our parts. And this is compounded by the fact that many of us lead lifestyles where we don't actually interact with other human beings nearly as much as we used to. We may simply go to the office, go home, go to sleep, and not interact with any human beings outside of that environment all day. Or heaven forbid we work from home, we may not talk to a single human being all day long. And it is pretty hard to date a woman if you never actually talk to a woman. So modern technology and our lifestyles are already creating an environment where men are not meeting and dating as many women. This is then further compounded by the fact that when a man does meet a woman, especially since it's not happening often, and it has been difficult, men are far more likely to just settle down with the first woman they meet, which may lead to them being in bad relationships, relationships where they're not stimulated, not as attracted, relationships where they honestly know they should be doing better, but it's just too damn much work. And some guys are taking this even further. Not just settling down with the first girl that will have them, but actually settling for even more mediocre results. With online dating being a conduit to lots of guys getting some trickle of dates with girls that honestly are beneath the standards they should have, a lot of guys are getting the occasional date here and there with girls they're not that attracted to from online dating, but they don't see a better solution. So, they just settle for that. They just take it as good enough. even though it's really far from good enough. Now, most people in this situation probably know deep down that they should make some changes. They should go to the gym more. They should go out more. They should improve their online dating profiles. But these are not easy things to do. And it's a lot easier to sit in the status quo. Beyond that, a lot of guys make excuses like, "Oh, that feels inongruent. It's not me. I want to be loved for who I am." Those types of things. And while the idea of being loved for who you are may seem comforting and it may work in the movies, in reality, if you want to succeed, you have to earn that success. It's not really fair to ask a girl to love you being lazy and unambitious when you should honestly be less lazy and more ambitious. Let's be real. Fact of the matter is, women have to make the decision they think is best. And if you present them with an unpalatable option, they're probably not going to take it. You do the same when it comes to women. It's only fair. Now, I'm going to take this point a little further and say something actually controversial, which is this. Most men, and to be honest, most people don't actually want to succeed. They don't actually want to win because it's a lot easier to be lazy and lose. It's a lot easier to take the pressure off of yourself. See, every time you step up and win at something, you're putting pressure on yourself to continue that sort of behavior, to continue being that person. If you don't have a girlfriend, you can sit around eating Cheetos and playing video games and being fat and no one's going to scold you for it. If you do have a girlfriend, I guarantee you she will. If you go out and are charming enough and charismatic enough to get a girl into you, well, guess what? When you go out on a second date with her, you have to be at least some semblance of equally charming and charismatic. And that does take a little bit of effort. In many areas of life, it's a lot easier to fail than it is to succeed. It's a lot more comfortable to fail than it is to succeed. It's not right. It's not good. It won't make you happier, but it is easier and lazier for sure. So, the first problem is a lifestyle that's killing male desire. But even when men do have the desire, even when they get ambitious, the second problem is they don't know what to do. Most men don't know that it's possible to get better with women. Most men do not know that this is a skill set that can be worked on. And so if you have ambition and desire without any knowledge of what to do with it or how to use it proactively, well that just leads to frustration and anger. So this I think is why we're seeing a huge rise in red pill, even black pill, migt type of thinking where men are just swearing off women entirely out of frustration. But this doesn't have to be the case because game is a skill you can learn. And that's what this entire channel is about. a learning game in a structured way where you can get predictable results, measure your progress, and see the rewards in action. So, watch the rest of the channel, learn game as a skill. But what I want to talk about right now a little further is the consequences of not knowing game is a skill, and how this drives men even further wrong. Most men do not understand female psychology. They do not know what attracts a woman, what motivates a woman, what turns a woman on. So, what they do instead is try and attract them with their resume, which doesn't work. buy them gifts which makes them feel like they're having their ass kicked and makes the man low value and therefore it doesn't work or try to win logical arguments with them when they should be persuading them emotionally instead. So the men who are working hard to attract women are working very hard to do all the wrong things rather than the right things. The next mistake that even motivated men make is taking advice from the wrong sources. Now it would make sense in principle that getting advice from women on how to attract women would make sense. But here's the problem. When you ask a woman what she's attracted to, she's going to first imagine a man she's attracted to, which is probably someone out of her league. And then she's going to say how she would like that man to treat her, which is she wants him to be really nice to her because she's not going to lose attraction for him no matter what. The problem is being nice isn't what would have gotten her attracted in the first place. So women will teach you to be a nice, kind, supplicating guy, which might work if you had infinite value, but does not work in the real world. And sadly, most other sources of advice that men turn to are equally as bad. Whether it be mainstream media, their equally clueless friends, or even dating coaches who have no actual proof that they practice what they preach. A lot of the advice is watered down, impractical, and just doesn't work in the real world. And the final catastrophic male error that comes from not fully understanding game is the I'll wait until I get my life better approach. A lot of guys think, "Oh, I'll learn game once I get in better shape because it'll be more effective." I'll learn game once I get richer because it will be more effective then and that is true. It will be more effective but you're wasting years of your life and you don't need to be in better shape for it to work. You don't need to be richer for it to work and it will work better if you'd had that extra year or two of practice in the meantime. And the other problem with waiting is that later often becomes never. Ironically, the opposite tends to work much better. I found a lot of guys once they start doing game that actually becomes the motivation for them to get their life handled, go to the gym and improve in other ways. In fact, I've personally seen so many guys who started learning game at a time when they didn't yet have material success. And succeeding at game gave them not only the confidence to succeed, but also the skills socially to earn millions of dollars and be wildly successful in business and life. So, now that I've outlined the problem for you, what do I suggest? Basically, do the opposite of all the things I just said men are doing in this video. First, go live in the real world instead of online and in seclusion. Next, act like you actually like yourself, want to have a relationship, and want to pass your genes along like every other organism on Earth does. And finally, take that winning mentality and start using it with intelligence. Watch the rest of the videos on this channel, learn some real game, and go talk to that girl you've been admiring. And while you're at it, go talk to a few dozen more. If you will do that consistently, you will get laid, you will get a girlfriend, and you will actually improve your whole life. And the final note, and this is the happy ending I promised you, the fact that most guys aren't doing this, the fact that most guys are giving up just means there's almost no competition for you if you actually do these right things. It's actually an enormous advantage. So, I know that on a societal level, it's kind of a depressing topic, but that doesn't mean it has to be depressing for you. Go out, take action. and I'll see you on the next video.
