Most young men are single. Most young women are not.
The Hill ^ | February 23, 2023 | Daniel De Vise

Posted on 02/22/2023 11:16:50 AM PST by C19fan

More than 60 percent of young men are single, nearly twice the rate of unattached young women, signaling a larger breakdown in the social, romantic and sexual life of the American male.

Men in their 20s are more likely than women in their 20s to be romantically uninvolved, sexually dormant, friendless and lonely. They stand at the vanguard of an epidemic of declining marriage, sexuality and relationships that afflicts all of young America.

women lie about being single

Or self-delude themselves about "being in a relationship" with a guy who just sees her as somebody to visit when he doesn't have a better option for that night.

Higher educated men want an educated woman. Doesn’t need to be PhD level but at least a bs and can hold a conversation

Unfortunately, the educated women in America are beyond toxic... especially compared to foreign women.

Divorced men tend to remarry; divorced women (especially if they’ve had children) do not.

That’s obviously not the whole story though.

You can see what is happening by watching some YouTube videos where young men & women discuss today’s realities. Today’s young women ALL believe they’re a ‘10’ and think most men are trash. They aren’t sweet, they can’t cook, and believe they deserve a man making $300k+, is 6’2”+, good looking, etc., that should treat them like a queen.

So you have 90% of women going after 5% of the same men. These men date several at the same time. These women have no idea that the men don’t need to commit because they’ll always be a new batch of young women and once their prime years are behind them, all of a sudden NOBODY wants them. They’re just an older, baggage saddled, high body count, nobody - with no skills and bring nothing to the table for an average man....the type of men they STILL believe are beneath them.

We’ve spent the last few decades so focused on the self esteem of women, empowering them, promoting that they ‘deserve it all’, that now they all believe they’re the best ever...without even stopping to think about what ‘average’ even means.

This also translates into large swaths of young men that give up on women. At the same time they’re learning how worthless they are - especially white males, they’re the fault of everything.

All because of white liberal women.

This was a large sexual behavior study done by the University of Chicago, funded by the NIH. It's the largest sexual behavior study ever done (large by power, in statistical lingo that means large # of participants). And it's one of the few sexual behavior studies done that wasn't trying to solve a problem in a subset of sexual behavior, in a small subset of the population.

Most of the time you read in the news about the findings of a sexual behavior study, it is stated in broad terms as though it applies to the majority of people. Yet when you dig into the details it turns out that the study's data is limited. For example, a study on HPV in college-aged women doesn't have any data on middle-aged women, but you're led to believe the data represents all women unless you research the data yourself. Same with ED among veterans with PTSD -- don't assume the numbers apply to men in general. Or a research study about getting the word out to young black males about the dangers of HIV. Or a research study about sexual assault among minority women. In all of those studies the data is about a limited sexual behavior or experience (not about sexual behavior in general) among a limited group (that age group only, or only vets with PTSD, etc.). It's always a lie when the science media generalizes from the data of those studies and makes you think your sex life is abnormal.

Not so with the study I showed you. It's the only large sexual behavior study ever done that wasn't trying to solve a problem and, therefore, it wasn't limited in scope. It was just trying to see what all sexual behavior is going on in this country regardless of age or marital status or income level or whatever. In other words, it's the only sexual behavior study that represents all of us.

And it tells us that when it comes to sex, worldly people talk the talk but don't walk the walk. LOL To me it's fascinating that us Christians sit back and let the people who have sex the less frequent and are less satisfied be the ones to speak loudest about sex like they know what they're talking about.

Have any of you worked around common women for long?

One answer is about the issue that most people are afraid to publicly discuss, the men for one reason (fear of being perceived as being inadequate) and the women for another (fear of women in general being shamed: the hive thing).

Many of the women are hooking up for sex. When they’re new to the game, women around them advise them on what to look for to get the most excitement during intercourse. Many of them share obscene photos with their phones. Women in higher paid positions most often tend to be more subtle with such communication and don’t discuss it as often.

Most men who want to hook up can do so, but only a very few will have women getting attached to them.

The result is lack of sensitivity in more ways than one...and ugly men...and uglier boys and girls more likely to indulge in more risks in the next generation.

There are some young women, of course, who don’t indulge. They’re looking for mutual, lasting love and stability. And just as with many of the women, many of the men lack the ability to give love. They only want to receive love while continuing to look for thrills.

In only two different places of employment, more than 50 women (about 20 in one place and more than 30 in the other, mostly married or otherwise attached) asked me that question. “Do you want to have sex?” And that was during the 1990s. Most of them were younger than me. Several had already had hysterectomies in their early twenties. I was married at the time.

A single mother with three children from different fathers is in a relationship with the last father while the other two men are single.

The cycle repeats in the next generation as single motherhood begets single motherhood.

In my understanding, celibate means unmarried, chaste means pure or virginal.

A lesson from my late best friend (he was 9 years older than me)

Q: “What does every woman want?”
A: “What another woman has”.

Absolutely true. I’ve had more women interested in me when it was obvious I was attached than I ever did if it was plain I was single. Never could figure out women.

Porn and videogames. That’s what motivates many young men today.

Apparently you aren’t “single” per this study if you have any relationship at all.

The term “incel” was started in the late 1990s by a lovelorn Canadian woman who simply wanted to start an internet forum where she could discuss the issue with people like herself. Unfortunately, the term got appropriated by a subset of wretched young men who absolutely hate women because they will not put out for them. Occasionally, one of them will get violent and do something such as ramming a vehicle into a crowd of people.

So, if some SANE, REGULAR guy is not getting action, he probably shouldn’t call himself an incel and thus associate himself with these miserable wretches.
