One of the big reasons men do not pursue women like they used to is because more and more men are doing a cost/benefit analysis on the endeavor of pursuing women and they are finding it severely wanting.
Today, if you even say HI or compliment a woman in some fashion, you are liable to be charged with sexual assault or harassment, especially in the workplace. Divorce is at an all time high. Over 50% of marriages end in divorce with 60 to 90% of the divorce filings being done by the woman. Men have little to no legal recourse in family court. Many, many good men are being destroyed daily by the family court systems. Now, states are passing yes means yes laws. California is a good example of this. A woman can accuse any man of sexual assault and the guy is guilty until proven innocent.
There is a phenomenon that is known as MGTOW, which stands for Men Going Their Own Way. You are going to start seeing this philosophy gaining in popularity among men. Today, men are simply taking a step back and again, doing the cost/benefit analysis and deciding the pursuit of women to not be worth the time and effort. Men simply don't see what they gain by doing that. Yet, they do see, in real time, what they have to lose, and it is a lot. The costs far outweigh the rewards.
