Why Men Don’t Approach Women Anymore, or Why Men Are Lacking Interest in Dating Anymore
Women, listen, this article is for you. Recently, many young girls and women in general are asking questions about men’s recent lack of interest in dating and relationships at large. Well, it is true that many men are no longer interested because they no longer make efforts to approach and win over girls they might find interesting.
Women, listen, here are some of the major reasons why men are not approaching you anymore.
1. Hard Economy: This is not just in any particular country but in almost every country in the world. Naturally, men are providers, and they value their economic status so much that they can forfeit everything just to grind harder to be financially free.
In such cases, those men who are focused on their work are less likely to waste their energy thinking about dating and relationships in general.
With the responsibilities and financial burdens that come from being in a relationship, many hustling men, especially young men, tend to discard the idea of approaching any woman, let alone being in a relationship where they will be providing.
2. Emotional Drainage: One simple truth about men that many women don’t seem to understand is that every man wants total peace of mind from his woman.
Many men avoid women because of their past bad experiences. Some women could be very toxic to their men, destroying the man’s peace of mind and possibly leading to divorce. Such men, looking at their previous bad experiences, often lose total interest in approaching women or anything to do with them.
3. Past Divorce Experience: Just like emotional drainage could cause some men to lose interest in dating, previous divorce experiences could also do the same.
Recently, there are many failed relationships, marriages, and countless divorce cases everywhere, especially in the Western world where couples are entitled to half of their partner’s property after divorce.
Many young men are learning lessons from other people’s divorces and how they ended badly for the men. These experiences cause them to start detesting the idea of approaching women and possibly going into relationships. Also, those men who have been divorced usually try as much as possible to stay away from anything that could lead to another relationship.
4. Entitlement Mentality: This is one of the main factors seriously reducing men’s interest in dating women.
In many countries, especially in Africa and Asia, many women have the ideology that men are natural providers and should have it all while contributing nothing to the relationship.
Yes, men know they should provide for their women, but the idea of doing everything while their women contribute nothing is very absurd to a large percentage of men, and this is causing a serious lack of interest in women in many societies today.
For instance, if you ask some young single men in some countries why they are still single, the majority of the answers you will get are “I am not yet financially stable right now.” This only tells one thing — they are expected to provide all in any relationship they get into, and without financial stability, they can’t build a successful relationship.
So, with this mindset, they shy away from approaching women because they can’t maintain one even if they get her.
5. Infidelity: Although infidelity is not gender-based, believe it or not, many guys out there don’t care much about approaching women because of the rising level of infidelity among women recently.
6. Shyness/Nervousness: I usually smile when women assume that men don’t get shy or nervous around women. Well, that’s not true, because many men do.
Yes, there are many shy men out there who can hardly look at women they admire, let alone approach them.
This means that some men would love to approach girls or women they actually like, but lack of confidence is the only thing stopping them from walking up to talk to them.
7. Constant Billing of Men by Their Women: In many African countries, girls have now turned relationships into money-making ventures whereby one girl could comfortably date many guys and bill them from time to time.
This is one of the things stopping many men in Africa, especially in Nigeria, from chasing women because they don’t want to be paying unnecessary bills and expenses from their girlfriends.
8. Dating Apps and Websites: In today’s world, technology has nearly taken over everything, including the dating world we once knew.
Before, it was all about physical approach to whoever you were attracted to, but now you can just turn on your internet, log in to an app or website, and start chatting with strangers.
Although dating apps are good in many ways, they are gradually killing the idea of physical approaches. Many men who lack confidence now rely on the easier way of meeting women online instead of building their confidence.
Why Are Men Not Dating Anymore
I believe approaching women and dating are the same thing or almost the same, so if you are still asking why men don’t date anymore, the points I listed above will answer this question too.
Gen Z Men Not Approaching Women
Yes, people are also asking why Gen Z men are not approaching women.
Well, as explained above, one of the factors contributing to this behavior among some men, especially Gen Z men, is that they are seeing and learning from the mistakes of failed marriages and relationships of those older than them.
Yes, the mistakes and experiences they learned from others are derailing their interest in approaching women and relationships entirely.
