Didn’t say they were getting left behind but they are getting the short end of the stick.
I think women tend to push the average guy as the provider guy
That’s mainly generalizations but that’s not for all cases
Indeed, misunderstood it but there are phases to that. There is definitely a demographic of “older chicks” who are good with that middle of the road dude knowing he can take care of himself and she takes care of herself and he doesn’t have to be the provider.

Even older women are starting to feel themselves too much

Everyone has a more extensive reach now due to technology and social media so folks aren't going to settle down as quick . The timeline has been pushed back to settle down. Generally speaking folks will try to exhaust their network until they have no choice , "settle".

Hard truth most people are settling, even if by default you are settling or the other person is.

I hate to meander, which I'll absolutely do when talking about something as personal as this, so I'll try to keep it short.

I was depressed for years, and I tried many things short of prescription medications to heal. No matter what I did, my confidence was utterly shot. I tried to fake confidence, or tried telling myself I would have a good day, but I felt helpless. Without my self confidence, my social life suffered greatly. I also didn't want to date because I felt I'd be an enormous burden that no one deserved (or would even want) to deal with.

It's been a painful few years. For whatever reason, I've started to come together as a person recently. My confidence finally feels like it's back, and I've been making a lot of friends who seem to actually value me. Plus, I'm also dating again, albeit I'm already falling back, or at least de-prioritizing it.
Thanks for sharing, I'm kinda in a similar spot why I wanted to hear your POV
