Men are lonelier than ever as they struggle to meet the higher dating standards of modern women, according to a psychologist.

American psychologist Greg Matos wrote in a recent Psychology Today article that the current state of young and middle-aged men's love lives shows they need to 'address a skills deficit'.

He said: 'I hear recurring dating themes from women between the ages of 25 and 45: They prefer men who are emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values'.

First rule of modern dating is what women say they want and the type of men they end up with are completely different. Of course, it is the men's fault for the rise in spinsters. The way I look at it as a man, you can get married with a 90% chance of getting divorced or in a loveless lonely marriage with all the responsibilities that accompany marriage. Or you can stay single and have complete control over your life not living to pay the bills and mortgage. From my experience, married men are the loneliness.

And of course those men that the woman desire, know that they are desirable to women, and thus will be more likely to want to play the field and not commit. “Plenty of fish in the sea!”

Bull crap. These lonely men need a heavy dose of toxic masculinity and general competence.

The modern women wants to be served, without having to serve.

I know I would be better off alone than being with a modern women, who wants a subservient husband.

My goodness, was I ever ahead of my time. Eventually married well though, obviously in spite of myself.

Unless straight women are entering polygamous relationships, for every extra lonely straight man there is an extra lonely straight woman.

Or the other option I suppose is becoming lesbian.

Rule one: Most psychologists are evil people who lie a great deal.

If they say something regard it the same way you would anything said by a democRAT.

With great skepticism.

Or just save time and assume everything they say is a lie.

I think Aristotle understood this best. It matters less how much two people say they are in love with each other. What matters is whether those two people together fall in love with something greater than themselves.

I see very few “real men” out there in the urban wild. (I’m suspecting it’s something in the water). If you want one of the real men species, you have to go to the rural areas of the state. Then, you have to adapt to their environment, learn to shoot, fish, and change the tire on your car. Not many women are willing to go to the trouble of catching one of the real ones. LOL!

translation: they want a hard-leftist moron with a good job whom they can browbeat ...

'emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values'

The latter trait for liberal women pretty much resigns them to soy boys. Why aren't they marrying them? (rhetorical)

I look at this from the other end. Mature, hard-working males have less of a suitable choice for a wife these days.

Alone, but not lonely.

I felt more loneliness during my marriage. Not any more.

ROFL!!! I'm pushing 60 this year. Great career, high income, financially stable & single. Retiring the end of this month (at this point, my employer is trying to persuade me otherwise.)

The number of single women vs. single men at my age is almost 2:1 where I live. I have my pick.

And my GF knows it. Keeps her in line. Just sayin'.

Time to throw out the Carhardt, mossy oak, oil soaked work boots, brush your teeth, trim the beard and seriously consider AA.

The hypergamy theory states exactly that.
Women would rather share a single Hugh quality man than be with somebody they believe below themselves.

60% of women circle around the top 20% of men
The middle 20% of women marry within the middle 60% of men.
The bottom 20% of both don’t marry anybody.
