The name of the game is: when you get angry you lose / you're owned by fear.

Fear is a common one. I think what they’re really afraid of is being alone or failing. So they comfort themselves with this lie.
I can't take seriously a guy bitching about the low quality of women nowadays. There're more top shelf women interested in you out there that one can say good morning once to each in this lifetime, let alone date or more. People forget the mirror aspect of life: you meet what your are. Low quality thots make the rest shine even brighter, so it's win win either way.
I agree completely about the mirror aspect. I would add that women have raised the bar a lot. You can view at it as good or bad but it doesn’t really matter because it is reality. Single women now outearn single men on average. And they are more likely to complete their education compared to men. So the bar has definitely been raised. You can’t just be a high school graduate with a factory job like the boomers could a long time ago. But it also means that if you can become a top earner, who is also healthy, attractive, and intelligent, then you have a lot more options with high quality women. They complain about women when it’s much easier to outcompete other men than ever before.
As a man, there's a curve. In the beginning you fixate on overcoming the competition, then you find out you are your only competition. Both parts of the journey are important. In the first part you buildup, then you sharpen your skills until you die. 😁
As for what has changed for a woman, well, most get in 24h more interactions than one would get 200y ago in a lifetime. Dopamine levels skyrocketed. This is a fact. People are adapting to this new style of living. Sounds harder to play, but it will make absolute sense only looking back on the love life, regarding the reasons for each interaction - which you don't/can't understand in real-time almost never.

Tl;dr quick guide for boys and girls:
Boys: respect your mother (mother figure) if you want a good love life.
Girls: respect your father (father figure) if you want a good love life.
Extra for boys: your relationship with your father (father figure) will determine your money game later on.
