Wesley Yang added,
So a world in which 1 out of 10 young guys hasn’t been laid in the last year is totally different from a world in which this is true of 1 out of 3.
This is for sure a subterranean factor in many things happening in the country whose causes and effects have not been studied
the answer is probably in the interplay between porn, computer games, and dating apps -- which is to say that consumer capitalism will someday provide the substitute gratifications (sexbots, VR porn) for what the social matrix their products interfere with no longer provide
I think there's a kind of... Existential issue? Of commodification, competition and liability that predates and is reflected in the rise of dating apps. Spending a night alone in a room with another person outside the bounds of a transaction feels risky for both parties.
