The (dating) system is failing because men are withdrawing from participation because dating became a “low return, high risk” effort. Unlike women, men are less likely to actually talk about this kind of “social problem” (often because it’s still seen as an “individual problem”) and simply give up to go for something else (work, hobbies). Without enough participants, the system destabilizes. An aggravating factor is how men are scrutinized nonstop while women are shielded from almost every criticism
Also, the entire “engagement economy” that’s causing a significant divide among men and women (also creating ever more unrealistic expectations) keeps making fuckloads of money out of that.
No idea why the woman is almost whispering in the video tho
PS: Lots of angry men in the YT comments, but there was this interesting take that seems to hit right: “Loneliness will only matter when it affects women”
tldw; The video looks at it as a system

People who summarize videos in the comments shouldn’t have to pay taxes. You’re doing enough public service already
