As a man, learn to accept a life of celibacy. Sadly, women's tendency to evaluate men by their occupation is not going to change as quickly as the jobs market.

(This is admittedly a dystopian view, but I believe it's possible.)



Either celibacy, or "How I learned to stop worrying and love the sex bot".


This sort of sentiment is sexist, demeaning, and false.


The thing is, it's already starting to happen in a small way. A quick search will find you several articles like this:

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/nov/10/dating-...

Of course, there absolutely are plenty of single men out there, it's just that they are invisible to the women quoted in the article, because they're not in the correct socioeconomic group.

I am simply saying that this trend is likely to continue. It's neither sexist nor demeaning to say that.


Throwing out a string of random adjectives does not give credence to your skepticism of the post above.

There is a huge body of research done on mating preferences for both sexes. Some of them may not confirm with your current world view.
