I wouldn't be surprised if it's higher even. shyt is crazy older generations have no idea how bad it is. Look at how separated men and women mostly are in places like Japan and South Korea where birthrates are 0.7 or some shyt. somethin we headin that direction specially wit AI.
Wildest part is shyt like Tiktok, Twitter, Reddit is where a lot of these young kids like 11-16 or somethin get they relationship knowledge from. That they formative years and should be startin some experience instead they just readin or watchin bout it online and its affectin development and how they see opposite sex. It's a real serious issue people barely talk about. Readin about the opposite sex, how they be, other people relationships.... then they form they own opinion on other sex and relationship dynamics on viral Tiktok vids those relationship Reddit threads. I got little cousins and nephews just started high school be sayin Hoodville quotes and shyt bout girls and those lil nikkas ain't ever dated anyone shyt is wild.... And the girls be parrotin ol jaded women talkin points at they lil age when they ain't even been in relationship. It's mad weird. The gender war is only finna continue and wit AI gon get a lot worse like South Korea.
For the men under 30 shyt I think nikkas would be surprised how many girls there are under 30 who ain't havin sex or never had it. Obviously not as much as men but it's def a much higher amount of em than nikkas realize.
100% agree with what your saying but tell it to the coli and your lyin, and it's 100% their fault
it's not a complete demographic turnaround where men aren't approaching or being aggresive, but it is a big noticeable change.
reddit absolutely isn't a gotcha as to how neurotic young teens and twenties have gotten, but it is a decent barometer as to what is and isn't acceptable relationship starters. I recently read a topic where a guy made every concession to get at a girl in the most nondirect, put the ball in her court respectful way possible. And most of the comments found a way to find fault in his complimentary approach. was it the best way to do so? No, but the lack of grace and general "ick" most supposed women got from it was worrying
when and how are you supposed to approach women? gym, grocery shopping, commute, etc etc.. is a nonstarter or else your breaking recent non-spoken general society rules. so the average man is left with fustrating online experiences or friend group pairings. that type of majority setup, leaves a lot of men out in the cold as we've been seeing with demographic studies over the last ten years
