Men No Longer Want to Date, Why?

carmel1992

Hello,

I am 27 and I would be interested in knowing why men don’t go into relationships as readily anymore or marry as often as they once did.

I'm told that Irish society has become anti-male and men are avoiding marriage and fatherhood at alarming rates but I think it's more to do with the institutional bias and blatant sexism of laws and practices that have become the norm against men. The numerous reasons are a court system stacked against men in regards to paternity/wider justice issues, a school system which is stacked against men and boys, a hostile work environment to men in many workplaces.

I don't disagree that relationships have their ups and downs but it may help to understand more about what the typical men are going through in this country and why they don’t actually feel and think as much about relationships.

Eh, right, OK then.

As it happens, I know a considerable number of young men in the age range from 24-30. All of them are dating or in relationships. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

The majority are dating or in relationships with women, though about 2-3 are seeing other guys.

None of them would recognise or acknowledge anything you describe in your post about Irish society being anti-male. Some of them, and many of the women of that age I know, would in fact react to your post with words that I won't repeat here because they might conflict with the forum charter.

Is this a personal issue for you?
