I've started some treatment recently, and for some reason I immediately started dating and looking for mates again.

I quickly realized how difficult it is. You can't find women unless you have a job, while women have made outstanding progress in education and the workforce, and for some reason they have a hard time dating people who have a less comfortable situation than themselves. I don't want to ride the whole mensright bandwagon or to criticize feminism, but it can be a difficult source of unhappiness for some.

I dated this young mother of two who managed to be a teacher for kids, she got help from her middle class parents, I can really say that when you feel the class struggle seeping into your love life, it is a very weird feeling. Of course it's not the only reason, I'm not saying it, but it can the source of other problems.

One generation behind us, women still sort of relied on men, and now that the tables have turned, women might need to make a compromise.

Not to mention the whole tinder generation which is making things a little weirder.

This comment is full of personal opinion, so take it with a big grain of salt.
