    Would I be correct to assume you weren’t dating before the internet? If you think modern dating sucks, then go try to find a decent partner at an alcohol bar.

    Dating is drastically easier for everyone than it was just a generation ago.

      Whether it’s easier or not is completely irrelevant to my point.

      Men aren’t allowed to complain without a whole swath of people insulting/belittling/patronizing them.

      I’ve had the same kind of trauma from women that women claim men have given them yet I’m not allowed to vent my frustrations about that trauma without being called an incel. I’m a victim of sexual abuse but I’m not allowed to bring it up because I’m a man.

      I’d choose the fuckin bear over a woman.

      But that just makes me “part of the problem”

        the point that dating in the modern day for men sucks

        This is your point, right? I’m not disputing that there are some factors that are harder, but overall it is now much easier than it used to be. The people who listened to your complaints before the internet (your actual friends) will still respond to those complaints with sympathy today.
