The usual diatribe of "something exists, men at fault, men lazy and men are failing women".

...men turning away from college, dropping out of the work force or failing to look after their health.

Buyers remorse from the consequences of affirmative action, diversity quotas and focus on women's health to not be seen as institutionally sexist. It is also a consequence of the conflict between primordial instincts with ideology - something both men and women have.

Ms. Kearney, for example, acknowledges that improving men’s economic position, especially men without college degrees, is an important step toward making them more attractive partners.

And the second that anything is done to help men, there will a deafening scream of sexism and misogyny as it will have to come to a cost for women. It will never happen.

...nearly half of college-educated women said they were single because they had trouble finding someone who meets their expectations, versus one-third of men.

Hypergamy in action. When childless women are outearning their male peers, it is of no surprise to anyone that said men won't be seen as attractive. And from experience, those expectations only ever go one way, particularly as women age - it's known colloquially as being an "alpha widow". She will be comparing you to not only her growing expectations but to the positive aspects of every single one of her ex's. The vast majority of men simply won't meet those expectations and women would rather be alone than settle. The concept of "beta bux" is starting to come to an end as women increasingly opt out and the provision and protection aspect of men in a relationship is replaced by the state, her social circle, her community and her family.

The behaviors were ubiquitous enough that Ms. Inhorn compiled a sort of taxonomy of cads, such as the “alpha males” who “want to be challenged by work, not by their partners” or the “polyamorous men” who claim “that their multiple attachments to women are all ‘committed.’” Her breakdown — Table 1.1 in the book — reads like a rigorous academic version of all the complaints you’ve ever heard from your single female friends.

The top percentage of men whom treat Tinder, Hinge, Bumble et al as their little black books and who don't need to commit because they have options and there's always younger options. And the chances are, the highest status men don't need dating apps because they're in long term relationships! Meanwhile most men statistically barely get any matches and messages, never mind dates, outside of women promoting their Instagram/OnlyFans accounts, scammers and attention seekers.

Sadly for them their choice is to either compromise and settle like many had to in history and make it work or invest in wineries and cat food manufacturers.
