What exactly changed with dating that so many men are giving up on it?

Social media has really harmed women. Like, very deeply wounded them. It’s terrible to see.

But part of this is that the majority of women date for validation while the majority of men date for love, sex and companionship. Again, not true of everyone! Some men also date for validation etc. But when I was actively dating, I noticed a lot of women were just there to be admired.

And that was not for me.
