I understand the sentiment, but this is intrinsically self-defeating if at most one half of the female population participates while the other half if quickly drifting towards the trad-wife high birth rate shit.
It is just math.
I don't expect this to go anywhere, but wouldn't limiting the dating pool create a more competitive market for men?
If that is a good thing, that I don't know
We are in the middle of a loneliness epidemic. For both women and men. Denying themselves companionship and love will only make people more miserable.
Welp, another reason to stay away from the usa
It's not just the US. It's mostly everywhere. It's a byproduct of the internet existing and so many people being addicted to it. It's a byproduct of people overworking themselves, working shit hours / nights so they cannot interact in a healthy way - without being literal zombies. It's a problem with the mental health crisis too - with the loneliness epidemic fueling it, and the mental health crisis fueling the loneliness epidemic. More people are scared of dating and getting hurt. More people are scared of commitment. People go nuts locked up alone in tiny boxes they call a home, don't know how to get out and don't want to risk inviting someone in. People got comfortable with how things are going for them, even if it's going completely shit. Then there are the dating app companies, whose entire gimmick is to get you hooked onto a monthly subscription. Which, aside from someone who is looking to hook up only, is about as counter to what they should be as possible.
Well, let's hope the place I live doesn't catch up
Oh for sure. Being alone most of one's life is torture for a lot of people. It changes them, often for worse. Humans are social creatures and it shows.
Yep, it's very important to your health
