Studies Say Men Are Their ‘Loneliest,’ Representing 62% Of Dating App Users​

Men outnumber women on dating sites and have become the largest growing group of long-term single people in the last 30 years, according to a psychologist backed by research shared in Psychology Today.

One study shared by the outlet from Pew Research Center in 2019 suggests that men, ages 25-54, are the fastest growing group of long-term single people since 1990. It will only worsen for them in the future, while they represent approximately 62% of dating app users—outnumbering women. Another Science Direct study conducted in 2021 with over 40,000 people showed that men reported more loneliness than women.

Board Certified Couple and Family Psychologist Greg Matos said the research shows it will be more challenging for men to find their matches over time.

Psychologist: Men Need To Address Deficits To Have Relationships​

There are several factors Dr. Matos suggested men needed to address to change their fate aside from addressing financial imbalances between men and women looking for partnership. One factor affecting men in the study was economic. The study suggested that relationship gaps among men widened because single men were faring worse off financially than in 1990.



However, relationship gaps have gotten wider among women because partnered women were faring substantially better off financially than in 1990.

Other factors include women having different relationship standards today.

Matos says women “prefer men who are emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values.” Also, dating apps are a massive driver of romantic connections, but men outnumber women significantly, representing 62% of users, lowering their chances of getting matches.

Roomies, are you shocked by this at all?

What does being emotionally available mean does it mean you can cry on command?

Matos says women “prefer men who are emotionally available, good communicators, and share similar values.”



We're stacking generations of men who can't have basic conversations, cannot show emotion (outside of committing a violent crime), and have no social skills. This worked out fine for many laymen 60 years ago when you could be a fukk up and fall into a good factory job, allowing you to take care of a family and attract a mate. Now we have a flood of men who refuse to go to college, largely refuse to go into lucrative trades, and just exist working shyt jobs that allow them to pay the rent and buy videogames. And these are the men wondering why they're lonely.

The dudes at the top are still eating good. But we're in for a lot of social upheaval if the men at the bottom don't get their act together.

Interesting study..

IMO being single is primarily a choice with sprinkles of happenstance while 'loneliness' is a state of mind that people choose to hold.

I say this as someone who was chronically single for a long, long time...

As far as dating apps are concerned, it doesn't surprise me to read that dating apps is a sausage factory. In that situation, women have the advantage of being more selective because their options are greater. They get way more attention than men and their expectations are greater because they have more options..

Despite that, there is at the end of the tunnel for men. One of the main things men need to do is get over themselves and put themselves out there!

Closed mouthes don't get fed and if a man need to get out of his environment and travel in order to find a suitable partner, then so be it!

One thing I do know that a man's circumstance isn't going to change until he learns how to love himself! After that, get his priorities in order, then focus on finding someone.

Unless you're #HandsomeGang, these dating are going to fukk with your head. Shyt, I had a good amount of success myself, but noticed that the apps artificially throttle your account even if you break off bread for a subscription.

The dating apps operate in bad faith nowadays, rather than give you some wins and risk losing you as a customer if you find a relationship, they string you along in order to bleed your wallet with multiple pay walls, ironically still losing you as a customer, albeit a disgruntled that will have no faith in their product.

The dudes at the top will suffer eventually if the bottom 90% stop playing along, it will go left for everyone. This usually happens with most dying empires once the women become out of order. TPTB used women to destroy the west from within. Oh well.
