I've been on this site for almost 15yrs. Over the past few years I've seen more threads about younger guys struggling with women more than ever before. I think the reason for their struggles is two fold, but lets focus on only one of those.
Its common knowledge that women love attention. A woman can simply take some flattering pics of herself, make a video, post them on social media, and minutes later have 50 likes. The attention she gets provides a dopamine rush. Many become addicted. She can do the same thing on a dating site with no intentions of ever going out with anyone. With every like, she is further validated. The more validation, the more her perceived value increases. She ends up spoiled, entitled, overvalued, and difficult to date. Doesn't matter what age, it affects all of them.
The currencies being traded between a man and woman is attention and $ex. A man provides attention hoping he will get some $ex. Before the internet the female did not have a platform to gain "free" attention" like she does now on social media. If she can get validation thru social media, why does she need a man in real life? She can get far more attention thru many "men" providing likes than she can a guy she dates. She doesn't have to give up the pu$$y. She pays nothing. If she doesn't like you....POOF....you are blocked. Makes it so easy in an online world.
You probably aren't one of those guys providing free attention to females on social media, but plenty of guys do which makes it more difficult for you.
This is why I think guys have really had to raise their own SMV to be competitive, even though they aren't directly competing with the beta's that provide the likes.
