Men: can’t live with them, can’t live without them. Well, except in the astonishingly increasing instances when we can definitely live without them.
A recent Pew Research analysis found that a rising share of American adults — roughly four-in-ten — are unpartnered. And often, men offload the blame for the expanding single population onto women by declaring they have unrealistic ideals no man will ever live up to. But in fact, it’s them who are more likely to be viscerally single and feel lonelier than ever.

The truth is that women are not single because of their high standards. They have them for a reason, and if they move through life alone, it’s a result of their own choices.
A TikToker who goes by @honestappraisal has recently explained this in detail. The man sheds light on how heterosexual males project their insecurities about being single onto women — without even knowing it. As he explains in the video caption, “Better creators have made this point more articulately than me, but maybe it’ll get through coming from a man.” And guessing from viewer reactions, it definitely did. Scroll down to read the content of the clip in full and be sure to weigh in on the discussion in the comment section below.
