Why are young men struggling in the dating world? Much has been written about the crisis of manhood in the US, the declining rates of marriage and fertility, and the perils of the manosphere.

This exquisitely written essay is a valuable addition to the discourse. It’s written by a young woman who shares her perspective on what it’s like to date men in the SF Bay Area. Her analysis of the various ways in which men fail to grow up and self-actualize will be familiar to anyone who’s spent time with young professionals in New York, LA, and other big cities.

A long but very worthwhile read.
