Behind Thee

Young men are falling behind. What should we do about it?

One in three men under the age of 30 has a girlfriend, while two in three women under the age of 30 have a boyfriend. You think, well, thatโ€™s mathematically impossible. Itโ€™s not, because women are dating older because they want more economically and emotionally viable men.

As opposed to the frankly idiotic “Any age gap is rape!” dipshittery, women in their twenties seek out older men. I’ve certainly noticed it. When I was in my twenties, it was extremely hard to meet women my own age. At least who were interested in me.

And now, in my forties, I have all kinds of women in their twenties flirting with me. If I were single now I would have my pick of women in that age range. No, I am not interested — but far from the clownish liberal certitudes about how this works, women are the choosers in the dating market. And women in that age range are choosing older men of their own accord.

Just too much clownery in the world. Too, too much.
