"I Dont Believe Men Are Giving Up" - Michelle Called Us Out For Lying!

I won't deny it, I am a try hard. If I do something, I like to do my best. But I wasn’t going to do my best reading some boring studies while I was sick so why bother trying. I don’t comment on their videos to elicit a response from them, I just do it to share my thoughts and opinions.

You're trying too hard lol. If you're "too sick" to read the studies, don't expect a further response from them rofl

Thank you for providing that. That article still doesn’t substantiate your claims that men have been checking out of dating or that men have lost interest in dating because it feels unwelcoming for them or that they’re worried about rejection (which is what the majority of this video seems to focus on) so it seems as if you’re making up your own narrative for those numbers in this video. The numbers do, in fact, show that there are more single men than there are single women and that the percentage of men looking for dates or relationships declined in 2022 compared to 2019. If we look at the graph that you linked, the article elaborates that “this drop is largely driven by single men, who are now 11 percentage points less likely than in 2019 to say they are looking for a committed relationship and/or casual dates (50% in July 2022, down from 61% in 2019).” It calls out the significant drop among men but look at the graph again as a whole. There is a greater percentage of women who are not looking for a romantic relationship and/or casual dates compared to men. In 2022, 50% of men stated that they were interested in a committed relationship and/or casual dates, but only 35% of women claimed the same. It seems as if women are more checked out of dating than men. The article also came to the same conclusion since it flat out says “single men are more likely than their female counterparts to be searching for romantic experiences. Half of these men are looking for a committed relationship and/or casual dates, while 35% of single women say the same.” As for the reasons as to why there is growing percentage of people who are losing interest in relationships and/or dating, it is not specific to gender, but the article states that “single adults who were not looking for a relationship or dates identified a variety of reasons as to why, but enjoying being single and having other priorities topped the list.” Nothing about men being scared to approach women or fear of rejection. You guys are a commentary channel and you comment on stuff, nothing wrong with that. My gripe with the video was that you guys used these numbers at the beginning of your video to dismiss the experiences of that lady and to then try to justify your claims. The experiences that you shared are totally valid, and so are those of the people who commented that they share the same sentiment. Just because there aren’t studies or numbers to those claims doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. The link you provided is not to a study but to an article that cites and references other studies, which I did not read because I’m too sick to think clearly so what I’ve stated above is solely based on that article and not the studies linked in the article. And I wrote that previous long message around 3am after getting to my hotel room drunk from the work event that I got sick at so for all I know, none of what I’m saying is making any sense.

Just google the text and the study pops up.

As a 25yo woman I can say for sure there are plenty of guys I find out through friends that they like me but I rarely get approached in public by anyone my age

It’d be great if you guys were to provide links to the “studies” and whatnot that you screenshot and post in your videos. The screenshots that you post don’t really match or support what you’re saying. Showing a graph of male virgins on the rise does not support your overlapping statement that men are checking out of dating. Something you'll hear in most statistics or economics courses: Correlation does NOT equal causation. The other screenshot where you highlighted “63% of men under 30 describe themselves as single, compared with 34% of women in the same age group” also does not support this. It doesn’t really support anything stated in this video. That statement alone seems to indicate that young women are doing perfectly fine finding a partner but young men are the ones struggling, but it doesn’t state why. Aba said that “51% of men have lost all interest in dating all together” but the study screenshot shows that 50% of single PEOPLE are not interested in a committed romantic relationship, it doesn’t specify that it’s just men who’ve lost interest. Aba is saying that it doesn’t matter what Michelle’s personal experience is because the numbers say otherwise, but the numbers shown do not support any of the statements provided in this video. You guys are also using personal experiences to misinterpret the data presented. Kind of weird to call her out for that when you guys are doing the same. I think you guys are really funny but whenever you try to provide “evidence” to support your claims, it really misses the mark. I understand that the general public may not skilled enough to properly digest certain studies and articles, or even decipher whether or not a “study” has any standing, but if you’re going to try to provide proof to back up your claims, maybe consider hiring a fact-checker or consulting with someone to proof-read your work. I’m sure it is very difficult to approach someone you’re interested in. If I was a guy, I’d probably still be a virgin because the thought of approaching a stranger I find attractive sounds horrifying. However, I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a study that states that men are checking out of dating because they’re scared of approaching women so I don’t think there’s much validating that statement except anecdotal experiences (which you are frowning upon in this video). Things I find related to that subject are all anecdotal experiences. If anything, I find more things supporting the case that there are more women who are unhappy with the division of labor in a relationship and are opting to be single, not men opting to be single. It doesn't seem like men are opting out of being single, some men don't have any other choice. p.s. There should be a photo of Aba's roommate posted under the definition of "handsome." He has amazing bone structure.

I am one of those guys who naturally approached woman. However, that’s because of my environment of growing up around ladies.

👏

That girl is the classic case of “head stuck up own ass” and refuses to pull it out. I had a similar discussion on Twitter with someone about this same thing and while they genuinely did not understand how, it wasn’t a difficult conversation though they thought there must’ve been some other reason. This girl on the other hand seems to outright refuse to see another perspective outside her own and it makes her seem catty.
