Something is happening right now that nobody is talking about honestly.

30.4 million men between the ages of 20 and 39 are unmarried in America. That is up from 20.7 million in 2000 a 50 percent increase in 25 years. More than half of men under 30 are not in a relationship. 63 percent of young men describe themselves as single. And somewhere between 53 and 63 percent of single men are not actively dating at all.

Those are not numbers about the dating market getting harder. Those are numbers about men who stopped showing up.

Most of them didn't make one big dramatic decision to quit. There was no moment in front of a mirror where they said "I'm done." It happened the same way most men lose things - slowly, quietly, one small decision at a time. Until the door was closed and they called the closed door peace.

In this weeks episode 17, Maxximus Founder Ryan Poole breaks down what's actually happening underneath the surface the real reasons men drift out of dating and the one question that gets you back in the game.

This is not a motivation speech. You cannot think your way to motivation. Motivation follows action, not the other way around. This episode is about what happens before that first move the honest look at where you actually stand, so you stop operating from your worst moments and start operating from the truth.

The door is not locked. It never was.
