I wonder how bad things have gotten? Maybe if college aged men read Atlas Shrugged it would help.

    Well, from personal experience (as a recent college grad) there are quite a few reasons a lot of guys my age are done with women. The first reason I'll list, and probably the biggest reason, is how easy it is to find a sexual partner. If you're single, you're literally two taps, a swipe and a couple texts away from hooking up with a girl at any given moment. Kind of goes along with the cow/milk scenario. Now, because of this situation, guys my age don't usually seek the kind of fulfillment prior generations had found in staying loyal to a woman. In the abscence of this form of fulfillment, we seek it elsewhere (i.e. material objects and money). In going after those things, we kind of extend that hook-up mentality. We don't have time to maintain another human being's emotions (in our own mind), and because were trying to become our own version of "successful" we'd really not spend over $50 on a partner either.

    At least thats what I garner from my friends and their behaviors. In an additional observation, today's young women are very spoiled and very detached from the real world (in interesting paradox, a good many of them are also very smart, at least in school). If a man is looking for an emotional partner, the last person he is going to "love" is somebody that is overwhelmingly in love with themselves (same goes for women, amirite?). All of these things, and more, play into the death of the actual dating culture.

    Again, I am speaking from very generalist observations and brief personal experiences (not currently in this situation myself). As we know, personal experience is subjective.
