That’s when social media started earnestly taking a foothold. I am guessing maybe this has to do with depressed females (there are studies which indicate social media use affects females more and also depresses them). Depressed females likely have different preferences and standards than those who are not, perhaps. If you don’t like yourself, you’re unlikely to pursue and welcome relationships.

Alternatively, that was the time of the Great Recession. Perhaps some young adults in general are too economically stressed to do normal activities?

ugh i hate the word "females". why not just say "women"

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

Because the study is clearly talking about goats. You only use the word "women" when you're talking about humans.

In the context of this discussion, the chart title is "young male virginity on the rise", so it doesn't seem too far off the mark.

[-] berkeleyblue@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Yeah male virginity. Male is an adjective in this case.

Male or especially Female as a noun, has a very weird ring to it. Sounds kinda disrespectful, as said above, like your talk about cattle…

[-] papertowels@lemmy.one 5 points 4 months ago

Eh, monkey see word male, monkey think female appropriate word to use when discussing things.

Monkey brain is not the smart brain, but I understand where it's coming from.

like your talk about cattle

Real dark days when a 30 year old bull hasn't hooked up with a cow in over 12 years.

This is also around the time smartphones came out. Wait, were the boomers right?

Pornhub was launched on 25 May 2007. Just saying...

[-] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Just one more year until Pornhub is 18!

Well broken clock, etc. etc.

Also, social media is a major contributor to the isolation epidemic going on, as is the economic situation and the work culture of countries like the US.

So what I'm saying is, you're probably right on all accounts.

I saw a great video once that went into how the economic situation is largely responsible for the cultural shift from "adult" as a thing you are to "adulting" - a thing you do. That from Millenials onwards, generations don't feel economically secure enough to partake in traditional cultural norms of middle-class adulthood. Things like buying a house and popping out 2.5 kids.

I'm trying to understand your post. Do you mean that the number of young men who are virgins has risen because women are depressed, thus implying that all of these young men are involuntarily celebite?

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Not all, it’s hard to say

Note that I am not “blaming” women for the lack of sex these men are getting. I am saying that if you’re comparing yourself to the best female in your group and her outcomes, then you’re constantly going to feel like you’re not doing good enough for yourself. You’re going to get depressed, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not coupling. But you’re restricting yourself and constraining your choices.

It’s an untested hypothesis, but here’s some prelim evidence: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/08/20/key-takeaways-on-americans-views-of-and-experiences-with-dating-and-relationships/

More women say dating is emotionally and physically risky now. What’s changed necessarily? I don’t know, I think it’s the hyper awareness induced by social media and also the increased economic pressures.

My hypothesis is that mankind unconciously sorted out that earth its not gonna hold much longer with the size of our population and decided to apply the sex breaks.

Whatever the cause is, it's good to know that our best scientists are doing their best to make a better world both developing AIs and robots. Sex robots are on the next corner. And luckly, microplastics are making us dumber, so we will have a higher and faster acceptance of them too.
