Where Have All the Good Men Gone?

It's really quite something.
Women set thoughtful, precise standards: tall, successful, emotionally available, properly progressive, instant spark required, which is perfectly reasonable.
Then they go on 30–50 carefully curated dates, each one analysed, debriefed AND YET the match never quite lands, usually because those men are always too "safe," not enough edge, vibe just off.
Meanwhile, the steady, kind men passed over in their 20s (labelled nice-but-boring OR ghosted for flashier options) reach their 30s wiser.
Now, with options, many quietly pass on women their own age, choosing partners who feel more appreciative and less checklist-heavy. The good ones didn't vanish.
They simply raised their own bar. Supply meets demand, lessons get learned.
Curious how that happens, isn't it???.
