Man, you really don't understand what is being discussed here.
If you think 2/3 young men are losers you are completely out of touch with the reality of the modern dating world. Again, are some of the men in this category legitimately losers, sure, but the majority of them are going to just be ordinary and normal men. Also, do you ever consider that 1/3 of the men that are NOT in that category could also be losers? There are plenty of men in relationships that have nothing going for them, they just got lucky and had things line up for them.
You also are really out of touch with the lives men had in previous generations. Post WW2 America an average man would have been able to support a family on his own income. Many factory jobs had incredible benefits, such as pensions, etc. and overall paid quite well. They weren't working 20 hours a day for sure. This started to change in the 1970s, which is when we started seeing a shift away from this lifestyle and more to what we recognize in recent decades. The average man in the U.S during the post WW2 boom of the late 40s through the 60s did not have to put in as much work in order to find a woman who he could potentially marry and have children with. I'm going to completely disregard your comment about the Korean and Vietnam wars because they have no real relevance to the broader dating market.
The average baby boomer male, born in the late 40s through early 60s, did not struggle in the dating market. It was UNUSUAL to be a man in this bracket and not get married and later have children. The men in this category did not work 20 hours per day and would have had something akin to the 9-5 grind that is still a thing in our society. The average man in this category was also able to become a home owner, which is something that is not the case for the current younger generations. The boomer generation though were the first to see divorce as a quite common phenomenon, though this is due to a change in cultural attitudes related to marriage and family.
The Millennials and early Gen Zers are in a very different set of circumstances than what their parents and grandparents would have had. This generation has been incredibly unlucky in many ways, which I'll elaborate on. First, in my areas of the country many in this age bracket were socially pressured into going to college, which during the 90s and on had become a huge money making scam. Many were saddled with quite impressive amounts of debt, well into the 5 figures and even more was incredibly common. They also became young adults in a time period of stagnation but with incredible increases in the cost of living, particularly housing. Then you have the 2008 financial crisis, which the U.S. never really recovered from, and later the COVID lockdowns. Overall, during their prime years Millennials lived in a time of incredible economic uncertainty and distress.
I'll also add that the U.S had been involved in sort of bull**** war or occupation from 2001 and until the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
I'm going to tie this together in case I lost you. The average Millennial has had to put in far more work in order to have the same lifestyle as that of their parents, this goes for both men and women. They had to take on much more student debt to get a degree than what their parents may have had to. Becoming a home owner is substantially harder, perhaps even impossible for many living in certain areas, something that was a given for their parents. Is all of this stuff impossible, no, it's just that you have to be much tighter on your game than what was required of previous generations. This means making really good financial decisions, very careful decisions with college, career choices, etc.
One huge difference between recent times and what the previous generations experienced is the competition you will face due to social media and dating apps. Before the advent of these technologies, women dated men they had some sort of proximity or contact with. They didn't have access to literally dozens or even hundreds of men at a given time at their fingertips. This technology provides women with an incredible abundance of choices, so naturally the response is to be increasingly more selective. This can eventually get to the point where an otherwise normal man could go months without a date, in fact he'd be lucky to get one at all. I think you and many of the other posters on this site severely underestimate how bad the dating market is for the majority of the men. Like with what I mentioned previously about needing to be really tight on your financial/economic game to get by, this also applies to the dating world as well. A man needs to be much tighter with his "game" than what would have been required of men of his father's and grandfather's generations.
