Single men just don’t care about sex anymore, study says

We’ve gone from a slutty summer to a flaccid fall. According to a study by Match, a stunning majority of single dudes said sex is now less important to them.

I think it's really just the perfect storm, why spend time and effort to get sex when you have porn? Women today aren't exactly the most pleasant to be around either. Add in a lack of motivation because the News Media makes everything seem hopeless, a passive lifestyle, an endless amount of digital distractions, bad eating habits, and a whole host of other issues and you've got men withdrawing from life.

Porn is not a new invention though. It has been around since the 60s and probably earlier. Also, nobody in their right mind would compare porn to sex. It's more likely that porn is the result from experiencing rejection by women rather than a cause of a lack of motivation. That is because porn does not reject like most sane hb6+ women do. What causes lack of motivation is rejection in its many different forms.

That is true. It is also irrelevant. They want what they want. You better have money and some sort of visibility.

Yep but most of them can’t get what they want. They can still want it though and that’s fine, they’re just going to end up miserable and disappointed.

Women have no clue how many successful guys they walk past every day that they think are average.

this is true, that's why we have to advertise it, covertly.

I've heard this trope before, I don't believe it matters today because men are saturated with distractions that mimic the effect of opioids and curtail motivation for any meaningful change. If you've read The odyssey, literally the island of lotus eaters.

We need to draw the Line in the sand here, at some point it's going to affect all of us here.

I agree bro but they aren’t settling. It’s just the reality men need to operate on in 2022.

 

[Jack22]

Quit trying to bend yourself into all shapes to appease women. Get rich because you want to be rich, get fit because you want to get fit. Let women be miserable on their own or with whatever loser they’re drying that month. Showing off your wealth to women will turn out badly and you’ll attract the lowest scum of broad on earth.

I mean, the whole point of this forum is to get laid by becoming someone women are attracted to. Definitely, learn to enjoy life before you learn to enjoy love, but there's more to that also. I was going to write a whole tangent but I'm tired and have more important things to do, so I'll leave it at that without the chest beating. I have nothing to prove to anyone here but myself.

We need to draw the Line in the sand here, at some point it's going to affect all of us here.

Okay, what do you suggest I and the eight other people on this thread do?

I'm salivating at the picture of a critical mass of men that decide not to invest in society anymore...wheter we talk about rules, laws or taxation.

I picture it as those zombie movies where the cops make a line of fire but they get overwhelmend from a horde that has nothing to lose (see the metaphor in my line).

 

[Robert28]

Not me, I go out of my way to hide it. I let them think what they want to think about me.

if that works ok for you I like it. It did not work for me and even lead to some bad issues for me.

For me, when I did that it resulted in some negative discrimination both from men and women. I am happier with allowing ppl to know who I am. I get treated better and have more fun. To some point, I really don't care what the motivations are of the others, only what they do.

I look at my own motivations and for sure I am more interested to chat with a woman that is cute and I do or might have the hots for, or a guy that seems to have something going. I understand that others are probably the same.

Are you willing to sell your soul to become someone that women are attracted to? It sort of seems like that if you look at it. Even by your own admission, you saying you can't be serious with the Lord and get anything above an hb6. It seems you can't be someone that women's attracted to without compromising unless you end up with an ugly or retarded women. This is why the forum can't really work. The emphasis is not on finding the right girl and tying the knot but becoming a hardened sinner that's fornicating left, right and center. That's really you?

 

[Zimbabwe]

Okay, what do you suggest I and the eight other people on this thread do?

We can start by refusing to give validation to low value women. Men shouldn't be giving away their power too easily to just anybody.

 

[firstbornunicorn]

I saw this article yesterday. It’s honestly difficult to believe. 1 in 4 adults have not had sex in a year. That’s just insane.

But this is both men & women. It's not nearly as difficult for a woman to go a year with no sex than a man.

 

[biggoal]

The sexual marketplace is globalized. Get rich and get fit. Women don’t even see average guys.

I see you bring up money often. With inflation sky rocketing and cost of everything going up I can see women becoming even more gold digging and requiring money.

This is great! Nobody ever talks about 35+ or 40+ single males who are childless. Most are generally invisible in social circles dominated by couples. Meaningless mundane drudgery is their existence. They either work some bullshiit white collar job or are blue collar men doing the work that forms the uncredit backbone of a culture. Neither the bullshiit white collar worker (a middle manager or less) or the blue collar man is appreciated by women for what they do.

The result will be more suicidal men and more homicides.

Same prescription - get rich.

The wealthy don’t bvtch about inflation; it merely increases the value of their assets.

Thats the short term outcome, at some point there will be structural changes.

Governments and women tend to be less c0cky when those in front on them dont comply or are pressure cookers...see muslim immigrants in northern europe which are basically free from whatever bullsh1t local civilized men have to endure.

Americans less likely to have sex, partner up and get married than ever

We're at a 30-year low for sex

Fewer Amercians are having sex.


Twenty-six percent of Americans ages 18 and up didn't have sex once over the past 12 months, according to the 2021 General Social Survey. You might think this is just a pandemic effect, but it's part of a long-term trend. The two years with next-highest percentage of adults saying they didn't have sex once in the past year were 2016 (23%) and 2018 (23%) -- the last two times the survey was conducted. Before 2004, the highest percentage of Americans who said they hadn't had sex in the past year was 19%.

Last year's survey was also the first time that the percentage of Americans who had sex once a month or less topped 50%. In 1989, 35% of American adults had sex once a month or less.

Some of this has to do with fewer people getting married and an aging population, but that doesn't explain all of it. Among married couples under the age of 60, 26% had sex once a month or less in 2021. In 1989, it was 12%. The 1980s really were better for sex.


We're at a 30-year low for living together

Fewer people are living together with a partner.


It's not just about sex. Some 62% of Americans ages 25 to 54 lived with a partner or were married, according to a 2021 Pew Research Center study of 2019 US Census Bureau data. This included 53% who were married and 9% who were cohabitating. That's well below the 71% of couples who lived together in 1990, with 67% married and 4% cohabitating.

You might think the growing share of unmarried people living without a spouse is due to rising educational levels among women who don't need the financial support of a man. The statistics tell a different story, though. Better educated people and higher wage earners are the most likely to live with a partner or be married. A lot of people won't get married if they don't think it's financially feasible, according to Pew polling.

There's also been a higher increase in unmarried men living alone (10 points) than women (7 points) compared to the 1990 baseline.

Partnership is at a low, not just marriage


Could it just be the case that people are still in relationships, but don't want to be tied down by either living together or being married? Yes, but the statistics suggest something else is cooking.

The General Social Survey has, on and off since 1986, asked participants whether they had a steady partner. This past year, 30% of adults ages 25 to 54 (the same age bracket as the Pew study) indicated that they did not have a steady partner. In 1986, it was 20%. In fact, the percentage of 25- to 54-year-olds who said they didn't have a steady partner never topped 23% prior to the 2010s. It's been 25% or above in every survey since.

Interestingly, as the population ages and more Baby Boomers have gotten above the age of 55, the percentage of older folks in a relationship has stayed fairly steady -- in the mid-to-high 60s on average.

That means this trend toward singledom is more about young people than older people. It's the same with sex: The percentage of those age 55 and older not having any sex in the last year (40%) is about the same as it was 30 years ago.


The divorce rate is dropping


If there is one thing good about declining marriage and partner rates, it's that it seems people are less likely to run headlong into a marriage that has a high probability of failing.

The rate of divorces and annulments was at its lowest level this century in 2019, according to the CDC/NCHS National Vital Statistics System. There were 2.7 divorces and annulments per 1,000 people in the population. That's down from 4 per 1,000 in the year 2000.

It shouldn't be surprising, therefore, that the divorce rate among young adults has seen the sharpest drop. This is the group that is least likely to marry, and those who do seem to be doing a better job of going into a marriage that has a good chance of succeeding.

Maybe one day I'll be one of those lucky ones in a successful marriage. A boy can hope. Can't he?

I do not trust CNN.

Inflation hurts everyone. Even if you're a millionaire it still affects your purchases if something goes up a lot in price.

Women are gold diggers. Especially here in Florida. Women, at least over 30 care about money over everything else. Just go on OLD. The few decent looking women oN OLD here want $$$. I posted a thread on here before with summaries from the OLD profiles. If you're going to use OLD around here you need to fake it by pumping your job title up and taking pics around expensive stuff.

Telling a woman not to care about money is like telling you not to care about her ass and tvtties.
