Captain Invictus posted:I've been using okcupid for a long time and met a lot of people from it. Things have noticeably changed in the last five years, for sure. Also, one person I met who was particularly attractive showed me their OKC inbox and it was literally filling up with creepy messages as we talked, it was absurd. That's another barrier to getting to people you might have an interest in on sites/apps like that, there's a veritable flak cannon of the shitpost equivalent of dating website messages flying at anyone remotely attractive nonstop, penetrating that barrage is difficult at best. They recently changed okcupid so no one can just send messages. You have to send a message into the void to someone, then their profile vanishes from your ability to see it. It does not alert them directly that you messaged them or show them the message, it just pops up that they got a message and they will never see it until they browse to your specific profile (with no possible way to know to do this but to check every profile on earth). It's surely ended the issue of girls getting huge number of creepy messages but basically seems to have made it a pay only site. As you could never possibly receive a message from a stranger on it. cat tax:

mod sassinator posted:No offense, but you clearly haven't been in the dating pool since the 2000's or 90's. The whole 'just go up and talk to women' thing died with the rise of smartphones. If you find a girl by herself at a bar / club / show whatever they are almost certainly on their phone and it's a huge creepy move to break through that force field and try to have a conversation. Read that Atlantic piece you mention, it says there's a huge disconnect where women wish they would fall in love with a man randomly talking to them but in reality think it's extremely creepy and odd for dudes to start talking to them out of nowhere. At least for me, it's the other way around. That is, the dudes who start talking to me out of nowhere are, invariably, creeps. I don't think it's inherently creepy, because whenever a woman or nonbinary person I don't know compliments me or buys me a drink or whatever, they're respectful about it and it's a positive experience.

Its also worth noting that a statistical jump that large may indicate a change in how many young men admit to not having sex.

Z. Autobahn posted:In the world of singles, women tend to have more sex. In the world of married couples, it's even. Reducing marriage and protacting the age of singledom expands the period of time in which women have more sex. I did not know this! Is that a thing there's been studies on? DeeplyConcerned posted:I think it's this framing that is part of the problem actually. Within this particular study the increase in the number of young men who aren't having sex is a recent trend where you'd think the amount of people who have low sex drive or are asexual is fairly consistent over time though. (I don't have any comment on the poster you quoted, just clarifying my own position.) What would be interesting is finding out if you can narrow the 'young men not having sex' field further than just gender and age. Like, is this trend hitting primarily white, non-college educated men? Or is it consistent across racial/class lines? Basically to tie this back into politics in the USPOL thread, I wonder if the complete and utter failure of conservative dating sites is part of a larger trend of women rejecting conservativism. I know it may not be particularly likely, but it'd be really funny if the reason all these young men can't get laid is Donald Trump. FizFashizzle posted:cannibal deer.

But yeah to bring it back to US politics, I think it's a pretty darn scary trend. If we think incels murdering people and nazi dirtbags are a problem now, just wait for another ten years and the sexless young male population to rise even higher.

No. Incel "culture" is supremely hosed up. It's not just the result of young men having less sex, and suggesting that it is has all kinds of problematic implications. Not getting laid is just the excuse that a lot of extremely maladjusted and/or mentally ill individuals have used to justify their hosed up beliefs about women. Normal people who don't have sex don't suddenly start believing that women should be made into literal mindless sex slaves. At best, the whole incel thing has the same underlying causes as whatever it is that we're talking about here, but that's it.

I'm with you in that just not having sex doesn't turn you into a misogynistic murderer. But it definitely makes you frustrated and much more receptive to manipulation. Look at the rise of alt right heros like Jordan Peterson. He's trying to preach to these frustrated men that their problems aren't their fault and that it's the women who refuse to conform to some ridiculous 1950's social norm's fault. Give it a little more time and there's going to be a more aggressive Peterson replacing him, maybe telling these guys 'hey you know why you aren't getting any? because these women are NPCs! they're not even humans...' etc. Like if I were an alt-right shithead I would look at that chart of sexless men and realize.. those are my people to recruit. And based on that chart it's a lot of people (28% of men in their 20's!).

Heck Yes! Loam! posted:I met my wife on OKC 10 years ago, and thank loving god. I wouldn't survive the modern dating scene. I have tons of single male friends, and they seem like they can't catch any luck no matter what, and the single ladies I know are inundated with creeps non-stop. It's a weird dichotomy. I met my wife through a friend while drunk at a pub because I believe in tradition and ancient moral values. I also would be poo poo out of luck in the modern dating scene, it would not work for me. My female friends on tinder etc get an unending stream of dick pics and creeps. Personally I think men aren't getting any because in the past whilst loads of them wanted to instantly get their dicks out and show them to woman believing it to be some incredible lure, that sort of behaviour was discouraged in pubs and restaurants. Only a smaller minority would actually do that. What tinder has done is reveal that there was a sizable group of disgusting men who would have liked to get it out within five minutes of meeting a woman but didn't have the guts to do it. With tinder they've finally been able to realise their dream dating strategy and thus woman have realised how secretly disgusting most men are. Or perhaps realised they are even more disgusting and creepy than they already thought they were.

When my wife and I met online we spoke online for six months before we met in person. We met in person for the first time at a pub with tons of people around. I just don't understand how tinder leads to that scenario these days.

It would mean 25%+ of young men are toxic shitheads that turn off all the women around them. We'd be seeing much bigger unrest and chaos--stuff like Charlottesville would be happening in every city.

I wonder if Regular Car Reviews is right that Tinder exists now solely for men to send unwarranted dick pics and for women to get more Instagram followers. And the dating scene is awful now mostly because of everyone trying to ghost the other person first and I have no idea what specific ritual of people have to undergo these days just to go on an actual in person date.
