What Happened to All the Good Men?

The uncomfortable truth about dating

Millions of men are drifting.
No direction. No purpose. No support.
And no one wants to talk about it.

Try to bring it up, and people roll their eyes.
“Haven’t men had it good for long enough?”

Maybe. But today’s young men aren’t living in the past.
They’re dealing with a new crisis, one we’re ignoring.

Zero-Sum Thinking Is Killing Us

Somehow we’ve convinced ourselves that helping men means hurting women.

It doesn’t.

We don’t need a winner and a loser.
We need both sides stronger.
Because when men fall apart, everyone pays the price.

  • Society

  • Families

  • Partners

The Dating Crisis

Here’s a real-world effect no one wants to talk about:

Women are doing better than ever.

  • Better jobs

  • More education

  • More independence

That’s a good thing.

But it’s also shrinking the dating pool.
Why?

Because women tend to date across or up in status.
And fewer men are rising.

So the women at the top can’t find men they respect.
And the men in the middle feel invisible, overlooked and under-valued.

One side feels abandoned.
The other feels unwanted.

No one wins. Everyone loses.

What Happens Next?

Men need meaning. They need mentors. They need a mission.

But here’s the trap:
We’ve made it weird for men to help other men.

A 30-year-old mentoring a 16-year-old shouldn’t raise suspicion. It should raise a generation.

We need more men who are willing to guide, support, and lead.
Not through preaching, but by showing up.

That’s what The Rise of the Modern Man is about.
Not blaming.
Not whining.
Just rebuilding.

Together.
