Great post. As a man in my twenties, I think that, even though we’re hearing about this from the men at the bottom end of the sexual-success spectrum, the problem is still being felt by average men as well. Many of my friends have complained about how dating these days feels like women are always holding out for the next best thing, and I have to agree with them.

A female friend of mine echoed a bit of the sentiment that a few of my friends had theorized was at least partly to blame, and that’s that she felt like had too much choice and was getting too much attention. She felt like her ego was being inflated in a way that was unhealthy, and so she turned away from online dating and eventually met her fiancé through mutual friends.

I wish I had some actionable advice to give along with this anecdote, but I’m still stuck in the dating game myself.

I am not surprised she is engaged.

I was about to post this same thing. That takes an extraordinary amount of self-awareness and maturity on her part which can't be common.
