just because you have a lack of success does not mean the system itself is rigged.
I'm not the only one. There are millions of men all across the western world society. The dating game IS rigged against men. I've proven that already, so many times.
There are inherent problems with the dating culture, I agree. But you're taking this way too extreme. Beyond extreme in fact. You've allowed yourself to become blinded by self-righteous anger and outward blaming (namely towards women).
Looking at it coldly and logically, the problems are there. For example, men do have to provide a lot more funds than women for the same desired outcome (assuming both parties want to date and eventually form a relationship). However, we also live in a society where women are judged and ranked romantically entirely by their appearance. Not only is this demeaning and stigmatizing, it also means that a woman's chance romantically of finding a mate is directly proportional to an external characteristic mainly outside of their control.
Obviously, in both cases this is propped up by mainstream media, and there are many exceptions to the rule in people who aren't completely brainwashed (I'm not talking from an all or nothing perspective here). I also believe that in every different era of human culture there are different gendered problems in social/dating culture. If you look back only a hundred years or so people did not have free choice in romance (arranged marriage); in many cases neither men or women were allowed to marry for love, so people were trapped in loveless marriages.
