And how to bring them back.
In a recent New York Times article titled, “Men, Where Have You Gone? Please Come Back,” Rachel Drucker laments what she calls “a collective shift” in men, a “slow vanishing of presence.” So many single men, she writes, aren’t “sitting across from someone on a Saturday night, trying to connect.” Instead, they “have retreated from intimacy, hiding behind firewalls, filters and curated personas, dabbling and scrolling.” She adds, “We miss you.”
Ms. Drucker – a single, 54-year-old Chicagoan – hints that pornography is at least partly to blame for this state of affairs. She mentions that she herself spent years working in that field as the custodian of records for Playboy and its affiliated hardcore properties. She worked closely with marketing teams to understand “what cues tempt the average 18-to-36-year-old cis heterosexual man. What drew him in. What kept him coming back.” She learned that it wasn’t intimacy or mutuality, but “access to simulation.”
Now many men, she believes, have “quietly withdrawn from intimacy and vulnerability” into “indifference.” The sexes have moved, she observes, into an era when traditional courting has devolved into “directionless orbiting,” “men circling intimacy but never entering it… ‘seeing where it goes’ without ever going anywhere.” She even mourns the “unscripted contact” of one-night stands.
She concludes by pleading men, “You can still come back. We’re still here, those of us who are willing to cocreate something true… And we haven’t stopped hoping.”
The male retreat from the courting dance of days past is a tragedy, but so is Ms. Drucker’s obliviousness to the reasons for it. Yes, pornography is a huge factor; the ubiquitous availability of the most explicit imagery imaginable (and even unimaginable) to anyone with an internet connection is a terrible scourge in our society – and not...

Those chickens have come home to roost, Cupcake.
Enjoy!
The winning formula has been around for a long time, Rachel.
Arrive naked. Bring beer.
Winning post of the day Ben !!!
The broads that bought into the femenist movement have changed their minds. Isnt that cute.
There is no point in going out when going out alone means going home alone.
“...hints that pornography is at least partly to blame...”
No, mostly just all the sluts and hoes.
They are hiding from the worst people on the planet...liberal, white women.
Add to her list video games.
As usual, an excellent post.
From the little boys in 1973 putting up their hands in elementary school with the answer but the 90% female teachers only calling on the little girls and praising them, to the most recent ruling of a man to lose his company and most of his money in a divorce to a hypocritical woman sobbing into her lace hankie in court.
We’ve come a long way, baby, downward.
You and society aren’t worth it anymore. We’re enjoying a peaceful life on our own.
The Left has been, for decades, intentionally driving a wedge between men and society in our culture.
The root of it is Feminism, which is rooted in Leftism.
Too many modern women act like men. If you’re a man, there’s not much point in having another man mentality partner join your life. Act feminine, and you’ll find men around you.
Lose weight, dye your hair a natural color, style it like a traditional female, don’t expect him to be impressed with your career, or your time in the paratroopers, wear sundresses, and give your voice sort of a musical tone. And don’t give up the prize to 25 other men first.
And don’t be bossy and loud
Thats only part of it.
In other words, the traditional family is a thing of the past for most of society.
Most of society has a price to pay for that error, and pay it will.
Of course. But it is a big part, IMO.
I would prefer a single malt scotch.
Reminds me of a Super Bowl beer commercial where someone fantasizes about having two women — and they promptly start yelling at him. He quickly changes the fantasy to have a dog at his side instead.
Lol.
Be 24 not 54!

The root of it is Feminism, which is rooted in Leftism.
And it creates an opening for another ideology to replace the existing system we have today. Take a look at what's happening to Western Europe.
