Finding your soulmate, your better half, the partner of your dreams, has never been easy. But lately, it seems to have become exponentially harder than ever before. It is believed that fully half of single men have given up on dating and courting women altogether. There is even a mass movement of men known as MGTOW (mig-tao) or “Men Going Their Own Way.” Critics call this movement “male supremacy,” and hateful of women, but members would dispute that and counter that modern relationships with women are downright dangerous for men—dangerous enough to warrant complete withdrawal and avoidance of any and all non-professional involvement with women. What is Creator’s perspective?

The so-called "Battle of the Sexes" is nothing new, it simply evolves over time, much like combat where one side may gain ground for a while and then experience a setback, with a resurgence of power and reach by the other side in opposition, and round and round you go, becoming battle-weary and sometimes giving up, and all the while fresh combatants are born and join the fray with their coming of age. What is wrong with this picture is the volatility, imprecision, indeterminant status, and high strangeness of it all. You are undergoing an age of moral decline and that is part of the problem as well. In order to have lofty goals, one must have lofty principles and ideals guiding them. If nothing is sacred, how can anything become exalted and have special importance to be cherished and sought for with fervor, passion, and dedication—even involving personal sacrifice? All of these attributes have long been seen as desirable in pursuits of the heart. It is the ideal that one falls in love with an intensity and almost blind devotion to the object of affection, to be followed by entering a long-term arrangement, and even a finalized legal binding of interdependence financially, as well as all related responsibilities such as parenting, being at least partially responsible for financial support of the partner, and so forth. This whole dilemma is quite real and has many layers and many intricacies. So we are wanting to start with the big picture here that, first and foremost, this long-term tension and struggle exhibited between the sexes is highly orchestrated to happen. After all, nothing is more natural than for mutual attraction to arise spontaneously, and even flourish, growing into love, desire, and avid pursuit of the object of affection with an aim to have greater intimacy and continued sharing of a relationship. This is built into the system, as we would describe it somewhat mechanically, that human beings are designed to give and receive love because that is the currency, energetically, of everything of value, and it serves as a great teacher, to have desire for a partnership for mutual benefit. It is within that partnership that all the truly satisfying things happen: mutual affection, mutual respect, mutual expenditure of energies to serve the other party, as well as the partnership in all aspects of its care and feeding. These include the material, to have sustenance and financial support for food, clothing, and shelter, as well as keeping the love alive and relying on the natural chemistry designed into the being, to have a physical motivation through desire be a driving force and also a source of intense rewards through acts of intimacy, to keep the love flowing and the dedicated commitment that is all-important to a successful union, given that life is challenging and there will be bad times as well as good. When people have obstacles to finding a suitable partner in love, this is both a healing need and opportunity, and can arise for any number of reasons, individually, with regard to the makeup of the individual, their lot in life in terms of the start they get from their family, which often acts as a safety net if there is money to help them from time to time to get ahead, encouragement for a good education, tutoring in the art of living, making friends, fitting in, striving to have excellence, and a desire for high achievement, all of which will be a valuable commodity for a potential life mate. This contrasts with those growing up in poverty, or dysfunctional and incomplete families, where availability of a steady, strong role model cannot be provided and, if accompanied with neglect, let alone abuse, will stunt the growth and development, and this will play out in a difficulty with love relationships as well because this may lead to inability to get in touch with one's own feelings, and how can one express love freely and joyously when they are stunted in their emotional range? People learn about love from the nurturing they get from infancy onward. If that is spotty or inadequate, they will usually make poor lovers as adults. There will be pieces missing, seemingly, a lack of impulses to be spontaneous in giving love, in showering affection, just because it feels good. All of these factors are a consequence of one's environment, and when that environment has been corrupted to make people "less human" it will, in turn, create offspring who are incomplete in their capabilities, and then everything will suffer.
