Young People’s Celibacy on the Rise: What’s Behind the Trend?
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 09/20/2023 5:17:47 AM PDT by davikkm

In recent years, there’s been a significant increase in celibacy among young people, particularly young men aged 18 to 30. This is a stark contrast to the late 2000s when the numbers were much lower, closer to 10%. Several factors seem to be contributing to this shift:

Unappealing Hookup Culture: Hollywood’s hookup culture has lost its appeal to many, leading young men to seek more meaningful connections. Dating App Dynamics: Dating apps often favor female selection, making it challenging for some men to find suitable partners. Rise of Pornography: Easy access to explicit content online has made pornography a readily available alternative to physical intimacy. Influence of Woke Feminism: Some argue that woke feminism has created an atmosphere of toxic femininity, discouraging traditional masculinity. Concerns About Child Support: The potential risks associated with child support obligations may make some men wary of relationships. Devaluation of Male Leadership: Cultural shifts have led to the devaluation of traditional male leadership roles. Devaluation of the Family: There’s a perception that societal values have shifted away from prioritizing the family unit. Merit-Based Success: The deconstruction of merit-based success may be discouraging ambition among young men. Community Breakdown: Dissolved local community institutions and connections may contribute to a sense of isolation.

These are just a few factors contributing to the phenomenon. Additionally, social media and the influence of money and older partners in partner selection are other aspects of this complex issue. Many young individuals are increasingly engaged in video games and adult content, which some argue is the result of social engineering efforts that aim to reshape societal structures. The consequences and implications of these trends are still unfolding.

When I walk into my local Wal Mart and look around, I can’t imagine that 95% could even reproduce.

My 22 YO son says most of women his age are way too woke and full of themselves.

He says the videos on X are for real (the ones where the women state the guy has to be a 6'1" well-built multi-millionaire).

“well-built” meaning what?

"Well-built" meaning that that is but the second of a theoretically endless list of attributes they have assembled in their minds - composites, if you will, of all the high-value men they have ever had sex with, dated, or even only seen, if only from a distance.

Regards,

Does male “girth” count for anything?

The problem in society is 50% of the population owns 100% of the tang.

Also:

Obesity combined with self-delusion about it.

More and more potential dating partners suffering from a full disconnection from reality.

A dating market increasingly full of single mothers, many with trophies from different fathers.

Increasingly high body count.

Decline in mental health of the previous generation. More and more coming into dating ages were raised in dysfunction and sociopathy and don't want to pass it along to their children.

The kiddie generations just can’t seem to get themselves out of the Head Start and Kindergarten mode. They still wear their pack backs everywhere they go and demand that grownups bring them their food. They are terrified of responsibility. It interferes with their time available to spend poking their cellphones. And they love drawing signs with colorful Crayolas. They are a real waste of skin and air.

No self-respecting man would ever marry a feminist / leftist shrew. Even women inherently know this.
