Man Criticizes the Flawed Logic of Men Claiming Women’s High Standards Are the Reason for the Growing Single Population

Some men keep insisting that women are single because their standards are too high, but that argument falls apart pretty quickly once you look at who is actually benefiting from relationships. In this story, a TikToker takes aim at the logic behind that complaint and points out how often it seems to come from men who are frustrated, defensive, and very aware that women are choosing differently now.

The post centers on the growing number of women who would rather stay single than settle, plus the backlash that comes with that choice. It also touches on the idea that heterosexual relationships often give men more advantages, which makes the whole blame game look even more one-sided.

The comments do not hold back, either.

If you spend time on the internet, as most of us do these days, you'll notice that there's a growing trend among women to consciously choose to remain single rather than waste their time on someone who doesn't deserve it. It's no surprise that some men are upset about this, given that research shows that heterosexual relationships benefit men more than women-they are happier, healthier, earn more money, and live longer lives than their bachelor counterparts.

On the other hand, studies show that unmarried and childless women are the happiest subpopulation in the UK. In other words, if you are a man, you should probably marry; if you are a woman, you should probably not.

In Response to the Video, One Commenter Had This to Say

The TikToker Made a Follow-Up Video Addressing the Comment

Men have fewer opportunities to secure romantic connections as a result of a cultural shift in which women are more assertive about their boundaries, desires, and needs than ever before. This is especially true for those who refuse to advance in dating and personal development and then become enraged when women, to put it simply, give up on them.

This also echoes the Reddit-style standoff where someone challenged their partner’s family over equal financial responsibility.

Some men have grandiose delusions, are self-centered, and believe they are superior to others, so they think they are the ones who set the standards and look down on certain people. Either way, it is absurd for one gender to blame the other for ending up single.

That blame game is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
