Let’s be real—something has gone terribly wrong with modern men. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why dating feels like navigating a wasteland of unqualified candidates, you’re not alone. The truth? A perfect storm of porn, dating apps, and the 50/50 scam has rewired an entire generation of men into believing they don’t have to bring anything to the table—except maybe entitlement and an overinflated sense of self-worth.

The Unholy Trinity: Porn, Dating Apps & the 50/50 Scam

Men’s brains these days might as well be running on overclocked lust mode. Thanks to nonstop exposure to porn, many don’t even see women as real people anymore—just walking, talking objects of desire. It’s not just warping their expectations of intimacy (spoiler: real life isn’t a high-production adult film); it’s also messing with their preferences(hello, DL epidemic) and turning them into socially awkward creatures who struggle with basic human connection. And since regular, real-life women apparently don’t spark their interest anymore, many chase after more “taboo” experiences just to feel something. The result? A downward spiral into the manosphere, where content creators happily reinforce the idea that women exist purely for male consumption.

Then comes the magic of dating apps—the great illusion of options. In the real world, most of these guys wouldn’t stand a chance, but online? Suddenly, they have access to women they could never approach in person. And because some women, out of frustration or lowered standards, entertain these men and make intimacy way too easy, the men see zero reason to self-improve. Why put in effort when you can just coast on Tinder? The worst part? It teaches them that women are disposable—ghost one, swipe right, replace. Rinse, repeat. It’s a system designed to make them lazier, cockier, and even less appreciative of real connection.

And the entitlement doesn’t stop there. This “easy access” spills into their expectations for relationships. Instead of equality meaning mutual respect, it’s a loophole for them to manipulate women into paying half the bills while still playing housemaid and emotional support animal. These men want all the perks of traditional relationships without putting in the effort traditional men did. Naturally, this fuels their narcissism, laziness, and delusions of grandeur. The result? A generation of men demanding feminine, nurturing women—while bringing absolutely nothing to the table.

Women Don’t Have to Play Along

Let’s be clear: women aren’t responsible for men’s bad choices—but we do have the power to stop rewarding them. Want to take the power dynamic back? Delete the apps, refuse the 50/50 scam, and set actual standards. You are not being “unreasonable” for refusing to entertain a man addicted to porn, experimenting with other men, binge-watching red pill content, or acting like providing for a woman is oppression. Stand firm. The men who haven’t had their brains fried by modern degeneracy still exist—you just have to filter out the ones who have.

The “Male Loneliness Epidemic” Is Not Your Problem

And now, the cherry on top: the male loneliness epidemic. Funny how no one panics when it’s women feeling lonely, but the moment men start facing the consequences of their own actions, it’s suddenly a crisis. Here’s the reality—this is entirely self-inflicted. Women are simply saying no to the nonsense. If that means these men are left alone, so be it. They either evolve or they stay isolated. Either way, that is their problem to fix, not yours.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, modern dating has become a battlefield of low-effort men vs. women who refuse to settle. The best thing you can do? Opt out of the struggle altogether. Stop making it easy for them, stop feeling guilty for having standards, and let natural selection take its course. If a man wants a seat at your table, he needs to show up as someone worth sitting with.
