As the male social circle continues to shrink, their partners have to take on much more emotional labour – and many are opting to spend their lives alone instead

    I got an aneurysm reading this. Err trying to read this.

    Analyzing dating trends is the silliest thing.

    Women aren’t dating men because they are needy.

    They want a man who needs nothing.

    The man who needs nothing has no desire for a woman

    The author sucks at writing and logic.

    A) I don’t think this is a new phenomenon at all

    B) I don’t think they’ve provided any evidence that single women quitting the dating market is because of this.

    Also has there ever been a point in time where the majority of single people don’t think that dating sucks?

    This is a terrible, terrible article. poorly written, antagonistic. And I’m not expert.

    And this isn’t a thing. It’s called people making relationship choices. Who fucking cares. It’s their choice.

    And they need tostop making up new words to be edgy. Sounds fucking stupid. We have plenty of words to use that everyone’s familiar with that would perfectly fine to use

    Mankeeping. Jesus if the shoe was on the other foot and a man wrote a female aimed term using those same words, they’d be lambasted.

    Let me save you all time and tell you what the article REALLY says in a non war of sexes fashion.

    As people get older our friends and support systems get smaller , and our partners have to start accounting for that support.

    It’s hard. Some don’t want that. So they stay single, opting to focus on themselves.

    See? No need for attacks, name calling, or this article

    Robotically Humanoid Perfect Partners dropping in 3…2…1…

    I mean, I’ve already seen the YouTube ads for realistic ultracute robo puppies. We’re kidding ourselves if Spielberg’s AI, or Black Mirror, or Chobits isn’t coming soon to a cafe and/or bedroom near you.
