The only thing that will motivate prime-age women to pair-bond with non-high-status/Chad males is if they think that they *need* to have a man around, and quickly discover the wisdom that the "emotionally unavailable" man is only there to pump 'n' dump, before she begins to age into harridan stage of life. However, I think it's going to take some really hard times before young women will get this proper attitude.
Women have used bachelor's/advanced degrees, preferential hiring practices, and white collar jobs to price themselves out of the marriage market. Women have become the beta male providers that they used to rely on in the past. This is why the beta male with a decent job is no longer in demand in the sexual marketplace.
Most men are invisible to most women. Most women are rejecting most men.
Longer term pair bonding is down overall. There are fewer instances of marriage and babies. In most social circles, most people will still marry and have babies. However, there is growth in the number of people not having children and getting married.
Many men are seeing an environment where a larger percentage of them are deemed unacceptable to women. A lot of men are being deemed unacceptable in the short term. Some men get deemed unacceptable after a longer term, which is a divorce. In 2012, it was reported that only about half of marriages started in the late 1980s/early 1990s were making it to 20 years. In the mid-2020s, it is likely that the number on that has increased when considering the marriages that started from 1998-2004.

The amazing thing is that marriages that started in 1998-2004 were typically Gen X'ers, as Millennials had yet to make their mark on dating in 1998-2004. In 1998-2004, the oldest Millennials were around high school/college age.
In the Millennial generation, it was observed that women were acting out their hypergamy more than predecessor generations in an unrestrained sexual marketplace. Millennial women were the first large generation to openly chase top tier/Chad level males. While I think that some of these issues have roots in predecessor generations, the problem got more visible due to the large size of the Millennial generation. The seduction community has strong roots with Generation X'ers. Major PUAs/Manosphere types (Mystery, Roosh, Krauser, Torero, Heartiste, Rollo) have been Gen X'ers. When Gen X'er Rollo Tomassi published "The Rational Male" in 2013 based on his essays on his own blog site and forum posts on SoSuave, that was based on the era of the mid-2000s - early 2010s sexual marketplace. That was the era in which the 1980s born Millennials were starting to make their mark on the sexual marketplace. A good example of this is Rollo's 2012 article (not something that made "The Rational Male) comparing elements of the Gen X 1990s sexual marketplace to the late 2000s/early 2010s sexual marketplace that 1980s born Millennials were facing at that time. I was living this in 2012.
Solo hit me up with an interesting question once: There’s been lot of threads popping up lately of how technology/social networking has changed dating, I know I’m a bit younger then mos…

We have a bottom line where more men are being rejected and Millennial/Gen Z men haven't been enjoying it.
A major Millennial voice is Myron Gaines from Fresh & Fit. Myron considered Rollo's work to be influential and he's started building upon Rollo's work.
Millennial women were the generation of "Never Settle!" and reject everything but the best. More and more Millennial women are aging and getting towards what
@MatureDJ would call harridan status. In 2024, the oldest Millennials turn 43. 1981-1987 born women are 37-43. Plenty of 37-43 year old women have spent the last 20 years building their careers, rejecting men, and are now reaching a phase of their life where they are either never married/childless (a smaller percentage of the 1981-1987 women but more internet vocal group) or married/divorced/never married with a child under 10 (the more common experience now for 1981-1987 Millennials).

With your video post about singles events, the women attending singles events are complaining that men stopped showing up. Too many men were showing up to singles events to get rejected by mid-tier women chasing top tier men out of their leagues. Men don't want to deal with that. That's the whole point made in your linked video post.
Imagine being a mid-tier male who has stayed in shape (not overweight/obese), has either a trade certification or a bachelor's degree +, and then finds himself being deemed unacceptable by women despite being fit and having a decent work history despite rampant favoritism towards women in the white collar workplace and higher education. That's the scenario for a lot of males out there.
