No, men aren’t looking for dates cause online dating has made it really brutal for them and allowed women to be more choosy
It’s not by choice

Isn't the result the same? More people are single? Or are we saying that more men have polyamorous relationships?

Seems to be this one.

Nah, it's by choice for many of us. I have no problem getting sex or charming women, and throughout my 20s had a bunch of fun with many women. I just don't care to do it anymore. I would rather spend my time learning and building than socializing, stressing, and dressing. Mostly I put this down to getting older, but a big part is just coming to terms with myself and how that differs from societal expectations. I've become comfortable in my own skin, so no longer seek validation of my manhood through sex and friends and money.

There are always exceptions to the rule

Currently that subset is dating the same men, while thinking they are monogamous
The older men they are dating are not only dating younger women, or just one younger woman
I can see that continuing
I am missing something here... why? If the rate of single men in the US looking for a date has dropped, wouldn't a similar number (assuming majority straight relationships and monogamous pairings) of women be also single?
