It jibes perfectly well: Young people at the top of the attractiveness distribution have a nearly unlimited supply of partners to choose from via dating apps etc. Hence they choose the polyamory relationship model to not limit themselves to one partner.

In turn, the average to less attractive people cannot compete with the seemingly available more attractive peers on these apps, hence they are less frequently chosen as partners even by equally average to less attractive people. Which was different before.

So much this. 80% of the women are choosing from the 20% of the men. Those men have no need to put in any effort and can bounce around several women at the same time. This is going to get worse.

This is dating, pre-marital relationships, not marriage. I'd hope you were past this stuff if you are married. Out of interest, do you have the link for dropping divorce rates?

But strong and stable bonds aren't being formed. What is happening is a small number of men are stringing along a large number of women. The men not in that cohort have stepped out of the dating game completely, or unwillingly accepting polyamory.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/05/06/millennials-turned-sex-study-suggests-one-eight-still-virgins/ … That is a very unhealthy place for society to be. One in eight virgins at 26? That is not indicative of a healthy dating/relationship scene. And I don't buy the 'We aren't interested', nobody wants to admit they are sexually frustrated.

Until you realise, as I pointed out by you ignored, that in previous generations, 1 in 20 were virgins at 26, not 1 in 8. That is a significant change. Added to the drop in marriage and it paints a troubled picture.

All segments of the population are having less sex, younger and older, singles and coupled people.. It has been called the sexual recession. Great feature here:https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/12/the-sex-recession/573949/ …

Interesting. A number of issues converging here, and I don't think they all have the same causes. Older couples having less sex is not connected to more young people having no sex. Maybe.
