  • Jon Birger is an award-winning magazine writer, a contributor to Fortune, a dating expert and an author.
    Typically men are the sexual protagonists. They're the ones who make the first move, they're the ones who come up with cheesy chat-up lines and deal with approach anxiety and rejection. But in a world where women are struggling to find men they're attracted to, what happens if this role is reversed and women start to be more proactive?
    Expect to learn why the changing sex ratios on university campuses is creating a problem for men and women's dating prospects, how an experiment on dating approach-strategies earned a Nobel Prize, why it is always statistically in your advantage to make the first move, whether we can fix the problem of raising up men and much more...

      I agree that older women can snach younger men easily because they know how to treat a man right and have experience. My experience with younger high quality men try to prove them selfs more to a older woman than the women at their age.
      I always hear men say how much they love that the older women that they hook up with cook for them and are more cairing and trustworthy.

He is doing a case study on one couple, with the reverse age gap, that wont fly for most men, and its because of the genz and later that compete with women cause they see them as equals atleast economically. Very fascinating, women dip down because they are forced, men are simply not marrying, too much risk, lowest marriage rates since 1850, first year of record.

      I couldn't agree more as not only do you see examples of this I felt it in my own life. I grew up after breaking my leg as a kid I became chubby and was that way through high school and my community college days. When I transferred to my 4-year school, I decided I wanted to change to get out of my shell and actually start dating, I'm old enough that this was still possible in early 2000s. I lost a lot of weight and I was very thin through my 20's, bout 180-190 up until later 20s, 190-200 In my late 20s and around 2:20 in my early 30s. There were times I put on extra weight but I always took about a year to get it all off and be back at my ideal weight and I like to walk and exercise so I was always not ripped but looked in decent shape. With my facial structure I always got handsome from a lot of women I would say I was probably a six. And for a lot of women it was good enough that even if I got turned down it was with a smile on their face. Well those times when I was heavy especially my late 30s as tragedy in different life things I really developed some mental health issues severe depression and anxiety and stress eating being a thing for me I ballooned up I was past 300 lb and lived with that for a year and a half and really developed some health issues. Good news is I work through all of that I'm off medication I was on for depression I'm losing the weight starting to reverse a lot of the health problems I had. I mention all that I wasn't in the mind today and I've been taking time off It's been 2 years since I've been laid I don't care I'm working on me I'm bettering me getting back in to good healthy habits but I have noticed body language I'm an outgoing guy People react to that but there's not as much friendliness from women than when I was thin I just know deep down if I were to approach women to try to ask a lot of girls out for a day It would not work out well for me as I'm overweight right now I would be the creepy pervert guy. So for my own life experience I know women are much different when I'm not good looking anymore I'm not handsome but I am fat and overweight and lacking confidence Now I come across as a creep to women but I get back to my ideal weight and I feel good and confident with myself and I approach women it'll be a much different story. Thank you for reading this good day to everyone

      Women search for men above them more often than not. Men search for women who they are attracted to, plain and simple. It's not about her social status, unless she is a dirty bum off the street with a drug problem. We will naturally want to hide things we aren't proud of about someone we date. Women will simply go for men who are far greater than they could dream of being.and complain when they're alone right into old age.

I’ve met tons of beautiful 30 year old women who a man wouldn’t be able to tell her age, unless she put it down on a dating app. So yes, If men are given a preference they might pick younger, but IRL it really wouldn’t be much a factor assuming she was attractive to him

    44:04 I understand why he would think that, but there's a major psychological tendency that hinders this idea. Women tend to be more risk-averse than men. Jon can write all the books he wants, but it's extremely unlikely that a significant percentage of women will actually take the initiative to ask guys out. I'm more inclined to agree with Morgan Stanley's report, in which they predict that by 2030, 45% of women in the prime working ages of 25 to 44 years old, will spend the rest of their lives single, and will die single and childless. Lets not forget the GQ article, "Sperm Count Zero."

    I've only listened to the first 30 minutes so far, but I think this guy is clueless about the actual dating market. First: The reason he sees this problem is because he's in New York. New York has a big gender skew - too many women and not enough men. Some areas are as bad as 130 women for every 100 men. There are many cities (particularly in the Western half of the US) where the opposite is true: too many men and not enough women. A large part of the problem he's seeing is regional to New York and a few other Eastern US cities. As a good-looking college-educated guy, I "should" have lots of options, but my female friends get 10x-20x as much attention and interest from the opposite sex. I live in a city with too many men, and women here are very picky and even stuck-up. There are plenty of good guys out there that women overlook. I have plenty of good-guy friends who would barely get any interest from women. It's absurd to say that college-educated guys have it good. I have female friends who can manage to get 3-4 dates per week from dating apps, despite being not particularly good-looking. The problem for men is that, even if they have a college education, women still want a dozen or two dozen other attributes (funny, tall, popular, etc) that puts a lot of college-educated men outside being so-called "datable". This guy really needs to look around and understand the dating market better because he sounds like he is myopically looking at New York city and not understanding what the dating market is really like for men and women. He also needs to take what single women say with a grain of salt because they might say "they just want a good guy" but they actually want much more than that, they just don't say it because they know it could invite criticism for demanding too much.

      Can you blame Gen Z, especially the guys? They were socially conditioned to be that way with the constant claims of victimhood for women and the treating of any awkwardness that they may feel from a guy taking a chance as a form of attack and abuse. Men are vilified and women are treated as super fragile and sensitive victims. With that kind of social conditioning to condition people to be big babies with women as the catalyst because they’re supposedly so fragile I don’t blame the guys for being horrified by anything awkward. I think part of the problem is that boomers are in charge of all these laws and the media and social institutions and their experience doesn’t track with what’s happened with younger generations.

      @Storm Shadow Well, you have to look at the quality of the women though. A woman with self respect would never agree to something like that, she would say "you either have me and me alone, or I am out" and chances are, he will respect her for it, and choose her and her alone.
      There was this guy called Owen McKibbin who used to be a cover model for Men's Health Magazine. He wrote a book, which was mainly a workout/diet book, but he also included something of an autobiography.
      Now this guy was really handsome, and had a cover model body, so he had no problems attracting women. When he met his wife, she wasn't interested in him, because he was too much of a F boy, and she had self respect. She said something along the lines of "I am not going to be just another one of your bimbos". Because she showed him that she had self respect, he became invested in winning her over, and eventually he did, and married her (and they had kids together).
      So it works both ways. Only low value women are willing to share a high value guy (and truth be told, low value guys would be willing to share a high value woman), but that is because it is the only way they can compete (by sharing instead of competing).
      A real woman who has self respect and knows her worth has the best chance of getting and keeping a high value guy. This is why women behaving like sluts works against them, it lowers their value.

Consider two of the three big points that the host summarized at the end. They were, in essence, very politely-worded criticisms of women's dating preferences and behaviors.
      1. The suggestion that women take initiative acknowledges that it's unreasonable to expect that men always take initiative--especially considering the aftermath of the MeToo movement.

    Women can't "uncheck the college box" in dating because the college box is wrapped up in their entire self identity concept. Women go to college because they want to believe it elevates status when in reality it doesn't do that: success in the real world does that. If women are going to college specifically because they want to believe it elevates their status, you can't all of a sudden expect women to just throw their hands up and admit "actually my college degree doesn't make me more of a catch" because they've spent their entire lives convincing themselves it does. Its the sunk cost fallacy. They can't let go of it.

      @@Conservative_carnivore Well the problem with online dating is that it operates on the question "what would you have if you could have anything you wanted", and most people's "likes" will reflect their answer to that question. Most men settle, most women don't. Most men will swipe on the hottest of women, but they're realistically with who they marry. Women aren't. Women only swipe on the top guys, and only want to date the top guys.
      What typically happens is, women will swipe on a top guy, the 5% I'm talking about, get used for sex, and pick a slightly lesser value guy (anywhere from top 6-15%) as a hedge against being single. She'll marry that guy (and eventually divorce him) if she can't find a top 5% guy by the time she noticeably starts losing the attention of those guys. If she finds that top 5% guy, she'll cheat on her current guy until she gets commitment from that top 5% guy, which typically never happens or only happens ostensibly b/c that top guy wants to push her current man out of the picture so he can screw her for himself for a while...at which point he discards her once he gets tired of the sex.

      researchers consistently fail to address the magnitude of this issue.
      People ultimately need love and validation. When a man doesn't matter to a woman, when she doesn't gaze at him with a loving smile, tell him she wants him/needs him, that he matters to her.
      A lot of guys have never had that.
      This will cause disillusionment/isolation/soul sadness and mental health issues in men. No amount of material things, por* will be able to replace that.
      The problem in the west is 2 fold. Incels can't get a woman and the ones that do get one, end up in divorce/breaking up or being cheated on and losing more than the lady. So they swear off relationships and end up lonely all the same. (Mgtow)
      Both have the effect of creating lonely, angry, atomised ppl and broken society with plummeting birth rates. And can spell the end of that society.
      What are we seeing in the west now?
      Falling sperm counts, falling testosterone levels, births, marriage, and a rapidly ageing society, with catastrophic debt levels.
      White ppl used to have close family bonds but now they no longer keep ties with family and send old ppl to homes.
      Jobs for life are a thing of the past, from where they used to form friends.
      White ppl lost their matchmaking culture and used to marry form within their own tried and tested social circle.
      With all that now gone, internet dating and cold approaching/PUA random women that u know nothing about is the way. Which can be toxic.

    Nobody likes prolonged periods of casual sex. It's cold, impersonal, deceptive, and self-destructive. So when sex is taken off the table, consider what other value you bring into the field. Let that be your starting point. Vet your mate candidates harder. Stop flooding the market with attention in misguided attempt to selfishly fill a personal void within you. Stop giving husband and wife treatment & privileges to somebody who is not. Focus on what's broken in your life and begin the repair work on that first, rather than use a relationship to put a band-aid over that wound.

Maybe it needs to be called the dating scene or something like that where people are seen as people rather than an item or commodity or something that can be returned, shopped for, and running the risk of always thinking you can find better so we can't settle. For instance, getting the new iPhone each year. I imagine calling it a market could leave a subconscious impression that isn't necessarily productive.
    Same thing with dating apps, we shop on our phones, we scroll and filter through Amazon etc. to find the right thing and just what you want, swiping and swiping. Looking for items and objects. And instead of meeting people in real life where they're seen as tangible humans.

I am curious how female hypergamy responds here. Is it the financial resources to be prized more highly on average or the social status of working as a nonprofit coordinator for example?

      Women outsource valuing men to society. If society appears to value a man, they will value him. Famous but poor men are still desirable. Women want to be able to brag about who they are dating because that conveys status on them. This is why married men are more attractive than single men.

      @@zerayacob3246 Jordan Peterson talks about this a bit and echos your point in so far as women look for indicators that a man will be able to make money in the future even if he lost his job now. For example, women aren’t as attracted to a man who won the lottery and is wealthy than they are a man who possesses the attributes associated with a man capable of earning money in the future such as intelligence, social ability, motivation, physical fitness etc. Still, it is interesting to think about, I mean 100k is a pretty good salary and puts you in the top 1% worldwide I would imagine.

    I’m confused. At the beginning he said his first book “wasn’t really written for men”. As he was interested in explaining the single female problem he saw. But later in the interview he says his first book was an attempt to solve the problem of the decreasing amount of men in college and universities. How exactly do you solve a problem of getting more men into the university by writing a book for women??? Also I think at the very end of this interview he summed it up very well. He said, after a talk with Davis Bus who argued that given their options a lot of educated women would simply rather stay single, that “he does not want to live in a world where that’s true”. I think there in lies his ultimate thesis. Most of his research is trying to find information that fits his world view rather than finding a broad scope of information that may or may not lead to unsatisfying conclusions. He wants to live in a world as he sees it rather than live in the world as it is. This is probably why I think a couple of his more fundamental conclusions are simply wrong. And why a fair amount of his data is contradictory to a lot of the other data available.

      He mostly used outliers or singular examples to strawman an argument and get out of it. When presenting advantages he seldom presented the risks associated. The example with dating work colleagues, for instance, what if it doesn't work out? What if it doesn't work out after 2 years? You will be forced to work together afterwards. You will be spending a lot of time with the other person, both at work and at home, which can be a little bit too much. What about trust? You need to not know what the other person is doing and with whom they are interacting with to be able to trust that they remain loyal even in your absence, but when you are always with them you don't need to worry about that as much. Not to mention that it can feel limiting as the other person knows about everything both at work and at home plus the water cooler gossip, a lack of trust will only amplify insecurities.

      Previously when men and women met at the workplace it was heavily disproportionate in terms of occupation. Women we're not as accepted in the work place and were generally secretaries, nurses, assistants and so on. The "real work" was done by men because of the social norms of the time. In that context it wasn't anything unusual to date the receptionist, they hardly seen each other at work throughout the day, let alone spend time together. But this has changed and now, thankfully, women can pursue the same careers that men do which has massive implications when it comes to dating work colleagues. It's simply not the same anymore and saying that it worked in the past is not valid because the context is completely different now.
      I found yet another risk. Say someone is dating their boss, is it fair for the employee to discuss a salary increase with the boss they are dating? Would that be a conflict on interest? Would it give the employee an advantage over other employees because of their personal relationship (nepotism)? These issues do not exist, or are easy to tackle when you are dating someone from a different department.
