It’s worse than men stopping looking.
A lot of men, looking around and seeing what’s happening to other men, won’t even think of starting to look.
Not worth the work, the trouble, the risk. And in the long run sexbots will almost certainly be much much less expensive.
Cue Judge Reinhold’s character from Ruthless People telling the kid “and you can f***ing finance it!”
Right now, Realdoll sells their top end sex dolls just under 10 grand. I would buwss that by the time a functional sexbot hits the market you will have a pretty similar cost.
$10K for unlimited sex on demand vs. the bar scene is a bargain in and of itself before even considering the other pitfalls of dating and marriage from a purely financial standpoint. And that dost is only going to go down. Consider the $30,000 10 Megabyte hard drive.

I remember seeing a good buddy get taken to the cleaners in divorce court, oh, some 25 years ago or so. He wasn’t even left with enough to eat on after the alimony and child payments were added up let alone get an apartment or anything else.
I had tried marriage one time before that. After that I never did feel the need to get married again. I figure if I felt that strongly about a woman I could just go ahead and buy her a house and new car so I could get the financial pain over with and skip the whole marriage thing.
Count one here that has definitely stopped looking. Got burned by a two-faced temptress some years back and decided that was enough already. Moved into a little college town and life is much better nowadays. I start seeing someone, sometimes a college girl sometimes a bit older, and if it does not work out I just move on and no problems afterwards. If I feel the need, start seeing someone new and see how well it goes on. No demands, no pressures, no barristers necessary afterwards.
No worries.
Although I still may opt for a new Russian Bride, perhaps.:)
