Most guys don't have the opportunities or access to meet women i.e. Social circle, hanging out with people their age
Sure guys can go to a bar/club and do dating apps but who wants to do that shyt in their 30s? (this is coming from a guy who is in his 30s)
Social Circle used to be shunned by the PUA's but this is how you see the average guy with an average girl, or average guy with a hot girl
I will demonstrate what a "social circle" looks like for a 30-42 year old single male who isn't living in the hometown where he spent his birth - age 18 years. I'm demonstrating what a semi-regular guy will have. This is a guy with social skills in the normal range. Adult males who live in the same area as where they grew up have a better chance of having a social circle capable of introductions but even that is far from a guarantee. What I'm about to describe might even be applicable for the more geographically fixed guy.
A 30-42 year old "normal-ish" male will have a social circle consisting of mostly other 30-42 year old people. Since he's 30+, the social circle will be mostly couples. The unattached male will have mostly male friends in committed LTRs or marriages. The girlfriends/wives from these committed LTRs and marriages have many other coupled up friends/acquaintances but there is an off chance that one or two of the girlfriends/wives knows an unattached female. The unattached female that one of these girlfriends/wives knows is likely a 30+ woman who has been riding the carousel, has a double digit notch count, likely a pet or two, and has an active profile on Hinge/Bumble. The only advantage you MIGHT get from knowing the girlfriend/wife is that you'll be able to get this unattached social circle connection's attention much more easily than you would on Hinge/Bumble.
Unattached 30 something men who have exhausted their social circles are going to nightlife venues or doing swipe apps (Tinder/Bumble/Hinge). In recent years (even in the 5 years or so prior to the onset of the pandemic), more of these 30 something guys were sitting at home in their underwear and swiping rather than pounding out 5-10 approach nights in the bar/club. Most 30 something guys in the past decade have been pusssy beggars on apps trying to get with carousel riding, similarly aged 30 something women. These men are fortunate if those similarly aged, 30 something women are childless. Many are childless, as White women with BA/BS degrees + working professional jobs are good at concealing their bed hopping with their diligent use of birth control.
A beta male is far more likely to have a relationship with his looks equal or slightly higher if he has a better than average social circle. If a beta has to fight it out approaching in-person or on the swipe apps, he's generally not going to have good outcomes.
For the average Gen Z and Millienaial it's rough people don't go out to socialize the night scene is dead a looming recission, sexual frustartion and loneliness will continue to rise
Right now, Millennials are 26-41 years old if we use the Pew Research definition (birth years 1981-1996). There are a lot of 1980s born Millennials (33-41 right now) who never developed good social skills. At 39, I'm an older Millennial. Even in the early 2000s to mid-2000s, an older Millennial could have gotten away with not socializing much as the online dating websites were developed and de-stigmatized by then and you could have slid into DMs in the early days of MySpace or Facebook. Swipe apps, Twitter, and Instagram were how those things evolved. Text messaging evolved from AOL Instant Messanger.
Tech-assisted dating didn't fully become the norm until about 2013, when Tinder was about a year old.
It's well known that male sexlessness increased once Tinder launched, but had actually been starting to rise around 2008 when the economy went to shiit.
The pandemic also made nightlife worse. It also ruined some forms of indoor daygame, like grocery store, book store, and mall approaching.
