Dating has gotten so expensive that nearly half of U.S. singles say it's no longer worth it, as the average night out approaches $200 (fortune.com)

It’s not a cultural thing, it’s a weird manosphere thing. If you read the guy’s comment history, it quickly becomes obvious why he is single and can’t keep a relationship. If you don’t feel like it, which I don’t blame you, I summarized it in a recent comment to him:

I’ve noticed your complaints up and down this thread, I’ve also noticed them around the threadiverse for a while and I am beginning to see a pattern. You tend to be aggressively argumentative, denigrate women as a whole/complain about “woke”, refuse to see things from other people’s perspectives, and don’t listen to anyone’s advice. Have you ever heard the phrase “if everyone around you is an asshole, then maybe you’re the asshole”? Perhaps part of the issue is your behavior and attitude.

I know, I was getting a similar vibe. I just wasn't going to call it out because then he'd be less likely to engage since everyone (else) knows the stigma against the manosphere cult(ure). I thought it'd be more effective to address his arguments than to attack the community he is strongly connected to.

I commend you for your patience because you have far more than me.

I’ve seen him around for a while and he’s always making the same comments about women. That guy is only going to change when he truly wants to, which does not look likely at this time. Good luck if you decide keep trying.

Hope you have a great day :)
