2 Reasons You Are Still Single
- Women’s Independence and Men’s Sensitivity
- Rise in Online Dating
Still Single: Gender Roles
At its core, the women want the men to try harder and the men want the women to make it easier.
I believe that there has been a rise over the last 10 years in the independence and the masculine energy of women. The men have sort of become more sensitive and afraid.
That has thrown things out of whack. It has led to either the inapproachability of women or the failure of men to step up their game to meet that.
Still Single: Online Dating
The second part of that equation is that there has been a rise in online dating and social media.
People have learned to hide behind their profiles, devices and Facebook pages.
They’re not forced to engage or interact anymore. That really has led to a lot of these sparks that I talked about earlier not happening because people are not interacting in a fashion like that did 10, 15 or 20 years ago.
Still Single: Focus on Online Presence
That’s interesting. You’re almost rushing through your day to get home and get online. Meanwhile, you’re missing all of these opportunities throughout the day.
You’re so focused on just rushing through things to get to your computer and do online dating.

Still Single: Affirmation for Approach
That’s right. People need some sort of affirmation, some sort of yes, some sort of signal to be approached.
If you go to a bar now on a Friday night at 11:00 and half of the bar is on Tinder in the bar. They need some sort of signal that it’s okay to interact, engage, talk and say hello.
That’s just gone the wrong way.
