Women can sense that something is not right- remember, they're programmed just as we are, and they ultimately suffer equally as much if not more in the long run than men.

Nope, they will ALWAYS find some desperate beta in the end, there is no justice in this shit for men, just enjoy the decline a don't get yourself tied to some aging slut.

I find it ironic that this woman makes up a theory from a few anedotical interviews with Wall Street guys and average college girls and then dismisses a scientific study because it was "based partly on projections".

This article is just another girl hamstering why the Chads she hooked up with on Tinder don't want to commit.
And we get it, men are evil and girls awesome. ("and this boy that came over last night, he was hurting me.”)

“What percentage of boys now do you think are fuckboys?,” I asked some young women from New Albany, Indiana. “One hundred percent,” said Meredith, 20, a sophomore at Bellarmine University in Louisville.

This is particularly telling about who is being interviewed, in that there actually a lot of guys out there looking for LTRs(some even attractive).

The thing is, those guys aren't looking for sluts who spend their time hooking up on Tinder.

"Sex should stem from emotional intimacy, and it’s the opposite with us right now, and I think it really is kind of destroying females’ self-images,” says Fallon.

First they want to have as much sex as they want in the name of sexual freedom. Now they've got that, they cry over not being taken seriously for relationships. By all means jump on the CC, but don't cry when no one decent wants to wife your used up ass.

You reap what you sow.

The best article I have read that illustrates what the sexual revolution has unleashed.

“But if you say any of this out loud, it’s like you’re weak, you’re not independent, you somehow missed the whole memo about third-wave feminism,” says Amanda."

Amanda, feminists lied to you: casual sex is not for women. These women have flat out admitted that wanton casual sex is sexually desensitizing and psychologically damaging.

I bet NYC will have the first mainstream movement for red pill women. Too little, too late. Too bad, so sad.

Gotta love how the victim mentality has managed to become the default in every situation now. "These poor women are getting used and abused for sex". Women have the power, but because Chad won't commit, they're the real victims....in other words when discussing men and women they automatically think Chad. Never mind poor beta bob who can't even get a single date off of tinder.

It's also funny how people seem so shocked and disappointed that being a cum dumpster didn't empower women in the way they thought it would. The irony is that the real winners are all the Chads out there who can take advantage of the $1.99 all you can eat pussy buffet that third-wave feminism has created

“I’ve gotten numbers on Tinder just by sending emojis,” says John ... He holds up his phone, with its cracked screen, to show a Tinder conversation between him and a young woman who provided her number after he offered a series of emojis, including the ones for pizza and beer. “Now is that the kind of woman I potentially want to marry?” he asks, smiling. “Probably not.”

Hilarious. And that's some red pill for women: men don't want to commit to sluts! And if a man does wife up a slut, what does that say about him?

"Men are the gatekeepers of commitment, women are the gatekeepers of sex. As a corollary- Men's commitment is more valuable than a woman's sex, and more and more men are realizing that."

And the cardinal sin of betas is that they often struggle to get a woman to commit. These betas manage to turn women into the gatekeepers of both sex and commitment -- and then wonder why they get shit on down the road.

they can go, ‘She’s girlfriend material, she’s hookup material.’ … There is still a pervasive double standard.

No, there is absolutely not. Women have the power to make exactly the same decisions. And they do.

It's just that they value the options differently then men and they resent men having power over their own ... bodies. They want to rape men, it's just a different form of rape.

Oh fine, I'll do one quote. From a female Professor of Sociology:

For young women the problem in navigating sexuality and 
... skip hamstering...Young women complain that young men
still have the power to decide when something is going to be
serious and when something is not

No. Chad has the power to decide when something is going to be serious and when it's not. All other men are given the choice of "commitment or get the fuck out", manifesting as their pre-sex demands and the high costs (time and resources) of dating females for normal men.

I think the biggest part of the downfall of dating is how entirely slothful women have become. It pretty much isn't even an exaggeration to say they're turning into literal Jabba The Huts anymore from all the overexposure of validation they get on social media. Raise your hand if you haven't encountered a fat entitled legbeard who thinks she's sexy. Just swiping through Tinder alone you're guaranteed to see tons of them. The Huts and single mothers make up a sickening majority of the selection. Am I lying? Call me out. I dare anyone to tell me I'm full of it.

Social media clearly has detrimental affects on a woman's mental as well as physical health. It's a public health crisis. Women and social media should be a crime against humanity.

“For young women the problem in navigating sexuality and relationships is still gender inequality, Young women complain that young men still have the power to decide when something is going to be serious and when something is not—they can go, ‘She’s girlfriend material, she’s hookup material.’ … There is still a pervasive double standard. We need to puzzle out why women have made more strides in the public arena than in the private arena.”

Women has the unfair advantage of choosing if sex happens or not. There is still a pervasive double standard. We need to make sure women have no power whatsoever in their relationship and private life by enabling any man to choose whether or not he have sex with a woman, whether she agrees or not.

Replace women by men and sex by commitment and you get what she says.

And why I've withdrawn my commitment and attention completely. Businesses who don't have any investors close up shop.

I just want to reiterate how glad I am to be learning about The Red Pill. These sort of news stories used to depress me and make just make me sad about my relationship potential.

Now I just read them and think about how to use the information to my advantage.

I actually think I have always been TRP, I just didn't know how to understand it.

I love this.. "men still have the power to decide when something is going to be serious and when something is not" is considered evidence that there "is still gender inequality."

Hear that? Gender equality is when women call the shots on who men date.

I can't believe she actually said that the problem is that "men still have the power to decide when something is going to be serious and when it's not". In other words she's mad that Feminism still hasn't taken away free will from men.

So women are sad they aren't finding true love on Tinder? I think I read a similar article back in the 80's titled "Bars open at 7am and the dating apocalypse". The only thing to read into this is that the author is retarded.

Read the entire article. Cheap sex works for good looking guys who fit the mold of what women are raised to want. I used tinder for 3 months and swiped right around 2000 women and got back 3 replies from trolls.

I don't feel sorry for women who only fucked the top 20 percent and wonder why they will be single at 30's 40's 50's. I don't want sloppy seconds from you discovering your sexuality.

Articles like this one should really be taken with a grain of salt. Sex sells, and media knows that. It is also focused on NYC. NYC, at least the Manhattan area, from what I understand has more women than men. Thanks to the destruction of Christian based sexual morals in the US, sex is expected in any sort of dating relationship well before any commitment. As such, the women know that if sex isn't given, there is zero chance of commitment. Now women are whining because of this. Typical of hypocrites. They wanted the ability to be as sexual as they wanted, and now they are upset that when they want LTRs that lead to marriage, men ain't lining up to give it. The guys who are bragging may or may not be lying, but the example posted by another on this thread shows that these might not be beauty queens we are talking about here so maybe they are just bragging about the numbers, not the quality.

I've heard different stories about dating and Tinder as well. Even the comments on some other pages that discuss this article say that this is a progressive, liberal big city example, not necessarily what is happening in fly over country that tends to be more conservative. If this type of intimate human interaction continues and spreads across the country, then I predict the US will be done within a decade or two. What this story is really complaining about is the productive class of somewhat alpha to very alpha males not ringing the productive class of females. The secondary story might be about how even more beta leaning guys aren't having any of it as well. The guys who lean a little more beta area likely getting some action, not as much as Chad, but they have the smarts to not want anything long term with women who have bounced from guy to guy.

The future will be interesting for sure for the productive class that is 18-35: Out-of-wedlock birth rate, artificial insemination rates, marriage rates, STD rates, anti-depressant prescription rates, all will be good indicators of where this country is heading.

We need to puzzle out why women have made more strides in the public arena than in the private arena

Because the government has all the guns and can steal from men for women, but rape is (still) illegal.

Asking ""Is this good for women?"" already implies that women understand that men benefit more from casual sex than women do. This, stupid people of the world, is why women are sluts and men are studs.

The funny thing about this is that feminists view it as unfair that they have no control over whether a man commits to them or not. The authoritarian left's dream is to force men to couple with women they have sex with. Ironically this is no different from the authoritarian right's dream, bible thumpers who think having sex once should keep people together for life.

Men have always been hesitant to commit because they're not approached, they're doing the approaching. Women are approached often, so they have a pretty good idea of what their SMV is and what mates they can attract. Men simply don't have as many data points to draw on, because they have to actively go and hit on a girl rather than being hit on constantly. So, men don't know whether they have a better choice in marriage out there.

Once again, the female centric media misses the mark in order to fulfill their mandate to kiss women's asses and never hold them accountable for anything.

I'm amazed by all the issues that are important to women which go unsolved because everyone has to kow tow to the feminist narrative.

They could point to real solutions here and actually help women (and men) live better lives, but they won't either because they are brainwashed or if they actually know the answer are too afraid of politically correct backlash.

It's not just this issue.

Domestic violence is a mutual violence issue. The leading catalyst to DV is alcohol abuse, but they still blame men and the patriarchy and when alcohol is mentioned they say, "That's no excuse."

Or how about anorexia. It's a kind of obsessive compulsive disorder, but the politically correct elite still want to promote their "unreasonable beauty standards" driving women to be skinny. Except anorexia has been around for hundreds of years when there were no skinny standards (and quite the opposite).

Fuck 'em. Literally. Their downfall and distress is our opportunity. Let them shoot each other in the foot. Blame us all they want, they really can't do anything to stop us now.

For young women the problem in navigating sexuality and relationships is still gender inequality....

Translation: "Women don't get everything they want, all the time, with no cost to them."

“It seems like the girls don’t have any control over the situation, and it should not be like that at all,” Fallon says."

As it turns out, we're not playing "Should'ves".

Women got everything they wanted. And they're STILL not happy.....

That he fulfills none of the requirements identified by evolutionary psychologists as what women supposedly look for in mates—he’s neither rich nor tall; he also lives with his mom—doesn’t seem to have any effect on his ability to get rampantly laid. In his iPhone, he has a list of more than 40 girls he has “had relations with, rated by [one to five] stars…. It empowers them,” he jokes. “It’s a mix of how good they are in bed and how attractive they are.”

Topkek. Attitude above all

“They say in their profiles, ‘No shirtless pictures,’ but that’s bullshit,” says Nick, the same as above. “The day I switched to a shirtless picture with my tattoos, immediately, within a few minutes, I had, like, 15 matches.”

Insert "women don't know what they want" here

“What percentage of boys now do you think are fuckboys?,” I asked some young women from New Albany, Indiana. “One hundred percent,” said Meredith, 20, a sophomore at Bellarmine University in Louisville. “No, like 90 percent,” said Ashley (the same as mentioned earlier). “I’m hoping to find the 10 percent somewhere. But every boy I’ve ever met is a fuckboy.”

Unless you are Chad you don't even exist to these women

“Sex should stem from emotional intimacy"

this if female code fpr "men should only be fucking after they are fully hypnotized in to being a beta bitch"

Pretty much just serves as motivation to get into the top 20. Fuck it, I'm goin for the top 10

what they dont talk about is how the hoards of beta orbiters are going nuts not getting any luck on tinder and uh....going on school shooting rampages lol

All of the Chads in the article are banging hordes of chicks, but the author points out that the average number of partners per person has gone down. It appears that the rich have gotten richer, as they say. Let's say a certain number of guys are pulling astronomical number of lays, you'd think the average for all guys would go up because you have the top % who are killing it. It turns the top has the market so cornered, they've driven the average down! Think about that for a second.  

I find it interesting that towards the end, the author tries to give the dark cloud a silver lining by quoting some academics who are calling the Tinder dating scene "sex positive". What I see is the sexes playing the dating game in a world where feminists have set the rules and very few are left satisfied.  

I was expecting the article to cover some non-Chads. You know, to show that not every guy is getting 50 bangs a year off Tinder. Show how the non-Chads feel about the Tinder generation. Guess what? Non-Chads are nowhere to be found. Because to the author they literally don't exist. Instead she points out a rock star who has been banging girls since Craigslist casual encounters. Tough times for the 80%...

For young women the problem in navigating sexuality and relationships

Young women complain that young men still have the power to decide when something is going to be serious and when something is not—they can go, ‘She’s girlfriend material, she’s hookup material.’

It seems like the girls don’t have any control over the situation

it really is kind of destroying females’ self-images

But if you say any of this out loud, it’s like you’re weak, you’re not independent, you somehow missed the whole memo about third-wave feminism

All of which only makes sense if you accept the premise that women do not have agency.

Not a bad article, really, but yeah they totally miss the 90/10 rule aka Pareto distribution of guys who are hot enough that they can fuck all the time. The guys they interviewed are definitely not "average"

The analogy I use is income inequality. Any SJW understands that income inequality is "bad" and that it's an inevitable result of free economic markets.

Well, the sexual market is now free, also, and the result is sex inequality - a few % are getting all they could ever want, while big groups are getting nothing.

VF and most other observers seem to be missing that nuance, which really explains a lot of the "problems" mentioned.

“SEX HAS BECOME SO EASY”

Women led the "sexual revolution" and demanded the right to fuck any guy they wanted. Now they are complaining that the guys they choose to fuck (the top 20%) have it too easy.

This level of stupidity is astounding.

Welcome to the SJW society.

Been in LA for the past 2 years but before that lived in NYC for 12 (downtowner, in Tribeca), 39 years old now and absolutely couldn't agree more re: the "dating" scene in NYC. Tinder wasn't quite out yet when I was there, it was all Match and OKC but regardless, you had like 6 single women to every 1 single guy (or 10 to 1, some kind of outrageous ratio like that), as a result I was doing EXTREMELY well in the hooking up department, but when it came to any kind of real, honest, meaningful relationship, forget it. Hell, when it even came to DATING (like, just going on a single "date”—taking a woman out to dinner, or an art opening, or a play or whatever), forget it, they just don't want it. There is no wall in NYC: women ride the carousel from the moment they arrive until about 44, and then one morning they wake up, get two cats and call it quits. That's it--there is no “seeking a beta” phase, it's just alpha fucks all the way and then a hard slam into the wall right at the end.

And you know, the funniest thing is: myself and most of the guys I knew, we were actually LOOKING for relationships. Or at least open to the idea. Running around is fine in your 20s and early 30s, but once you get to the mid-30s it's like, "OK, I'd really like to see someone for longer than 2 weeks here, just to know what it's like, so let's see if I can find a great gal and girlfriend her up, let’s just try for something longer term and see how it goes..." And then the craziest thing, you'd think the girls would WANT this (since, you know, they all say they're not looking for casual sex with random strangers, that they really do want a real relationship with somebody great), but when you offer that to them, or even suggest it, they're gone--it's an instant ghosting. And we're not talking about a desperate “BE MY GIRLFRIEND!!" here, we're talking about, "Hey, let’s grab a bite sometime…” And the younger the girl, the more horrified they'll be at the mere suggestion of anything that even resembles a date. Text her at 1:30am and have her come over for a quickie (then boot her out 20 min later) and she's totally fine with that; suggest that you go out some place and, you know, TALK to each other for a bit, and good God, you might as well have suggested the two of you run a barefoot marathon through a field of broken glass...

And it's not even an SMV thing either--I was rockin' and rollin' back in NYC, kicking ass in my career, best shape of my life etc but it just didn't matter, the girls, despite all their protests to the contrary, just didn't want to be locked down, and "dating" (in the traditional sense), as far as they saw it, was just a step in that direction. Casual sex, fine, but don't you dare suggest that you two go somewhere and do something fun together, because that might mean you LIKE her, which clearly means you're a beta, which means she shouldn't be having sex with you, which means you're out. Wasn't just me, every guy I knew in NYC had the exact same experience--and some of these guys were EXTREMELY high SMV, like top of the pyramid, and still, nothing. Couldn’t hold a girl for more than a few hookups, maybe 2 or 3 weeks tops (if that). Women just didn't want to date--they wanted to have their little harem of bad boys, 4 to 6 Chads at any given time, swap out 1 or 2 every few weeks, repeat for 25 years, hit the wall and retire alone.

To be fair I had an AMAZING time with the women in NYC (and I tell every guy I know that, if he's never lived there, now's the time to go, the ratio is just getting better and better for men)—don't mean for this to come off as any kind of rant at all, as I really did have a great time back there. I think in the end what really pisses me off about articles like these, however, is the GROSS misrepresentation of women: they interview a few Chads, who giggle at how easy all the girls in NYC are, and then they interview a few oh-so-innocent young women (professional careers girls!! We're so awesome, we're gonna take the world by storm!!), who endlessly lament, "Oh gosh golly gee whiz, I'd love to go out on DATES, fall in love, and have a real relationship with a great guy, but all the guys want is sex sex sex, sooo..." Um, no--all the girls want is sex sex sex (the notch count for NYC women is now a badge of honor, they are competing with each other to see who can hook up with the most guys simultaneously, seriously, they're far worse than the men now), and on those few occasions when the guy actually LIKES the girl and tries to get her out on a proper date, even suggesting it, he's ghosted instantly. Saw this time and time again… (This is the hilarious Catch 22, actually—girls, I believe, actually DO want to go on dates, but the thing is they only want to go on dates with Chad, and if you’re on a date with Chad, then you’re not actually with “Chad” at all, because Chad, by definition of being Chad, does not go on dates… It’s rather like one of those Zen koans, if you think about it…)

So yeah, the new thinking is: only betas go on dates, alphas just hit it and quit it (and kick you out 5 min later), and we all know which of those two the ladies prefer. Girlfriends (in NYC anyway) are a thing of the past: it's just random hookups from here on out. (And don't even get me started on LA...!!)
