As a side-discussion here (won't be making a thread about it), WW did mention an interesting point in his video and that is a comination of Dopamine and Relaxation options APART from dating are reducing the incentive for guys (ie especially like myself) to want to go out to date women.
If I were to a point of time in the early 10s decade and contrast that with 2023, I've noticed the following Dopamine options I have now, that I didn't have say in 2015 (ie as a random year)
1) I own a Tablet since 2017. The Tablet is used extensively in bed, when I'm on the job at lunch/breaks, when I'm on the train to and from work, when I'm riding as a passanger in the car or when I'm in the Gym. Ever since using a Tablet, (ie which represents having literally a "TV in your pocket", has lead to an increase dopamine release. A Tablet was purchased in 2017.
2) I own a VR-headset since 2021. This is used more occasionally. However, using it can mimic going to the cinema, or viewing 360 degree videos which gives a great feeling of escape and being in another world.
3) I've also owned a TV since 2017, and a projector since 2019.
4 ) OnlyFans / porn are also dopamine sources, ease of setting up a encounter with an escort, etc....
Therefore, what I'm driving at, is there is allot more and better dopamine options compared to 2015 or earlier. While one can argue that they always had the cinema, and if someone wanted to watch a large screen presentation they can always visit a movie theater. However, it's not quite the same thing. In a cinema, most of what you will see are couples and women and you'll feel funny if you are going by yourself, plus its inconvenient to go there. If you can do everything at home and get the same dopamine hit, and not have to even worry about social dynamics that would make you feel funny going by yourself, then that's a great dopamine yield.
Compare this with anything to do with women? First, already worried about rejection from the gate or nobody will take you on and already know I'm low in the look-scale. Women are not fun to deal with compared to these other options if you were comparing dopamine to dopamine (ie unless you are fapping to images/videos of them).
Now, if we were to compare this to the 1960s.
There are no real other dopamine options apart from dealing with women. Otherwise, what would you do? Sit at home and read a book / comic book and twittle your thumbs. There is something crazy about the tech of the modern world because it's like a dopamine flood compared to low dopamine yields with other activities in the 60s.
