Young men are going through a loneliness crisis.
- Some 63% of young men in the United States are single, compared to 34% of young women.
- Some 27% of young men in the U.S haven’t had sex since they turned 18.
- Only 27% of young men say they have at least six close friends, and 15% of men say they have no close friends at all!
This ongoing trend is now gaining mainstream recognition, and it’s often questioned how this can be happening in the era of social media and dating apps.
A lot of people don’t understand that the apps are the problem.
…
Dating Apps Have Failed Men
Social media and dating apps didn’t make it easier for men to meet women. They made it easier for top-tier men to meet all the women.
Women are overwhelmed with male attention on these apps. Often, these men are far better than them in terms of sexual market value, as most guys are willing to ‘date down’ for a low-effort one-night fling.
This trend has generally skyrocketed women’s romantic standards. They’re mostly only interested in dating the top tier of handsome, ripped, wealthy guys now.
Meanwhile, average guys can barely get a whiff of attention.
This graph outlines the trend quite nicely.
It’s been around a decade since these apps took over the dating world. Gen Z are the first generation who’ve had these apps available for their entire adulthood — and they’ve become reliant on them.
It’s understandable. In principle, dating apps should be easier. The main appeal is that you can rizz a woman without leaving the house and protect yourself from the bitter sting of a real-life rejection. But, as the graph illustrates, most average guys get garbage results in reality.
The majority continue to swipe away hoping that one woman will be kind enough to want to date them. At the same time, they’re doing most of their ‘socializing’ online. They don’t need to leave the house to be entertained, to go shopping or (in some cases) to earn money.
The end result? Fewer close friendships. Stunted social skills. Loneliness crisis.

Offline Dating Is The Solution
As I witnessed this crisis unfold, I could sense it was time for me to write a new book titled Offline Dating.
This is the ultimate guide to meeting and attracting women in the real world. There’s guidance on meeting women in bars, clubs and parties, but also in daytime venues like busy streets, malls, parks, cafes, beaches and gyms.
For those of you who don’t know, I decided long ago not to depend on dating apps. I didn’t want to leave my romantic fate in the hands of the Tinder algorithm. I didn’t want to rely on photos when my best qualities are my charm, charisma, sense of humor etc.
So, roughly 10 years ago, I set off on a mission to master the art of ‘offline dating’. I would go out sober to bars, clubs and busy daytime venues trying to make connections with women. I used advice from OG dating coaches, learned countless lessons, and became skilled enough to attract many amazing women. Undeniable hotties who were more beautiful than I ever imagined myself dating.
Eventually, I became a dating coach and writer. For the last six years, I’ve been travelling the world solo seducing women of every culture.

That’s right. Young men are suffering from a loneliness crisis, but I’ve been travelling the world solo and have never felt lonely. Not for one day. Because I’ve mastered this skill set.
Whenever I’m feeling social, I go outside and build connections with gorgeous women wherever I see them. No drugs or alcohol required.
This is what I want for you as well.
No young man deserves to be lonely just because his Tinder photos aren’t attractive enough.
So, if you’re sick of trash results on dating apps, I’d urge you to check out my book ‘Offline Dating’.
You’ll not only find tried-and-tested steps to attracting women in every conceivable offline environment. You’ll also learn some crucial lessons for building your social confidence, speaking with charisma and building fast emotional bonds.
Once you master these skills, you can consistently dazzle women and make them forget all the dudes in their DMs. Many times, they’ll only be interested in you because you built that deep real-world connection. This skill is so rare nowadays, yet it communicates so many good things about you.
The book has sections on understanding female psychology, building lasting relationships and more. It’s my biggest, most comprehensive book based on 10 years of real-life experiences.
The skills in this book changed my life. They didn’t just help attract more women. I’m now happier, healthier and more comfortable in my own skin. The same has happened to my coaching clients.
I’d love if this also happened to you.
