Do you think there might be reason for this? 😁

But they aren’t having sex (or drinking milk) much.

Video games, Netflix, and the internet.

[toxic, white man-hating, freaking white women out there]

There’s at least a couple.

Had one I really wanted to marry. But she ran off with as many guys as possible in college thinking she could always get me back, no problem.

Fortunately, I eventually realized I’d just be paying for the kids and some other guy. So, when she wanted to come back.....no, I left it alone.

There was an article on FR about them riding the merry-go-round of guys.

I’m actually lucky I found out earlier rather than later.

Population control. I knew the unisex and the androgynous movement of the mid 70s would take the thrill of man-woman relationships onto the rocks of ship wreck. Clothes were made suitable for both sexes. The government schools indoctrinated their pupils into the gender blender of uniformity.

...this phenomenon is not confined to the United States, as marriage and birth rates have fallen in much of the world, including Europe and Japan.

In Japan they have a rash of Lonely Deaths, where isolated individuals die alone and take awhile to be discovered. There are organized groups which clean up the mess and perform rituals in honor of the dead.

I will give credit to my mom’s estranged cousin Vicki aka the Vicked Vitch. Vicki always hid her promiscuity by dating/relationships with “business” class men.

In other words, she willingly spread if he had some bread. mutually beneficial relationship.

Well she once said that “Theres usually something wrong with the guy if he’s never been married by 40”. Those were her words of wisdom!

to think of it now, every guy she did bring over to family functions was divorced.
and rarely the same guy twice. Nothing better to a 50 year old divorced attorney/accountant who has a fit barely 40 year old woman who he knows is a sure thing after a midtown Manhattan dinner!

They forgot to mention insane divorce laws that will financially ruin a man forever.

Given the statistical likelihood of a divorce it’s just not worth the risk.

I see Deep State’s war on the nuclear family is going well.

For some reason when I read this what came to mind was those shots you see of all of the men arrested in a child sex ring sting operation. They all look so criminal and dirty and like the dregs of society. It made me wonder how much porn addiction (including child pornography) had to do with these stats.

OTOH, there are a LOT of young woman out there who have very demanding expectations, but offer nothing but narcissism in return. It’s a tough, tough world to be a normal man these days.

Agree with you. I see many causes:

porn

women taught that men are toxic

men are taught that they are worthless with nothing to contribute and pass on to future generations

they believe the world is going to end soon anyway

if they don't believe those things they're afraid to express what they believe because the left does a great job and convincing people that the left is the norm

why bother when video games is an escape from reality

Marriage is a huge financial burden. Just having a wife will cost a lot. If there are children, it’s several hundred thousand each.

Having children severely complicates your life, especially if both partners work.

It risky. She might turn out to be crazy. The kids might turn out to be crazy.

If you don’t marry when you are young, naïve and optimistic, you already will have friends whose marriages have turned out to be horror stories and cautionary tales.

Interesting chart. Notice the rate is much lower for whites, 20 percent than blacks, 46 per cent. Cause: The breakdown of the family caused by welfare.
