    Not sure where you get the idea that “most men” are not dating. The description you make of what “most men” are doing sounds pretty much verbatim lifted out of something in the incel community.

      According to Pew, around 63% of men under 30 are single, with 32% of all men being single (and about half are married.). Around 57% of all US single adults surveyed (with about equal distribution of men and women) say they’re not looking to date at all. That’s a majority of men that are simply not on the market. Only 42% of single people are looking for romance at all. And the reason I single out men is because between men and women, men who ARE looking to date are looking for serious relationships, where as women are not. (based on majority responses.)

      I’m sorry you are so sheltered that everyone that doesn’t conform to your narrow set of experiences is an incel, but the truth is most men aren’t dating.

      probably from the statistics that demonstrate that men ages 18-26 aren’t going in as many dates, aren’t asking women out at the same rates, etc. etc. This is a known serious problem, and it’s one the manosphere has basically been created to exploit.
