That is a great article. What it doesn’t say is that approximately 80% of women have increased sexual activity over the same period. Less and less men are having sex yet more and more women are having sex… hmmm, to ponder.
Well, obviously fewer men are having sex with all the women having sex. Which means, enviably, more and more women are rotating through the same set of guys over and over again. That’s the only way the math works…

That’s correct. And it creates a problem of decreased male productivity.
How do you even come up with something like this? I assume the average price of a prostitute is a fair bit higher than that, at least in the western world.
If we aren’t just talking about prostitutes, then how to do quantify all the parts of a relationship which are neither directly financial, nor directly sexual? Committed sexual relationships are complicated and you can’t easily compartmentalize which parts of the relationship is related or unrelated to sex. And sex is often mutually desirable. Sexual interactions between people that aren’t in a committed relationship might get simpler in terms of what resources a person has invested in the relationship prior to sex, but that still very much fails to understand what is driving people to consent to sex.
Finally, even if you transactionalize it from the man’s perspective in terms of just investing the minimal amount of resources to get to intimacy, I have a very hard time believing that an average man can reliably get a female stranger to consent to sex by investing only $40 of resources (consider for instance that if she doesn’t consent, you don’t get a refund on your pizza). Also, if you have a halfway decent job, a hour of your time is worth more than $40. No way it’s that easy for an average guy.

I may not completely agree with this and I don’t want to get into it again because of one previous thread, but I can’t stop feeling pretty fucking flattered that I’ve never had any real problems with women other than a couple of dry spells LOL. Damn, do I feel pretty.
Agree with the first part of your post. For this part, yes, it’s not a laughing matter at all BUT it doesn’t mean these “coaches” are legit and there’s a deep rabbit one can fall into when he gets deeper into these kinds of movements which may make things even worse for him. It’s like “socialists” eventually getting sucked into real socialism.
What kind of a man would want that? Water?
A sammich and a beer, now THAT would be marriage material.

What a moron.
Like most incels, he has a weird imagination.
Maybe if you are unwilling/unable to put the work in to make yourself appealing to future potential spouses, you just…don’t get to get married? Not as in “you’re not allowed” but some people are not marriage material and should not have children. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad that some men can’t attract women, and vice versa.
I am not with the girl I am with right now because she is only cute. Outside of men who pick trophy wives (and these men usually have big wallets and just want someone to spoil) I don’t think most people pick mates on looks alone. At least, mature adults don’t. I think this can be found in most communities. Even in the black communities that you think are collapsing, of those who are making marriages work, how many of those men are only with women for looks?
Not necessarily. (South Dakota.) There are plenty of small town-minded/conservative/Christian/traditional people here, but even within those families and communities there are plenty of people who are not living the lives that their grandparents did. My parents graduated high school around the turn of the century, and many of their peers have never married, been married multiple times, don’t have kids, don’t have kids till “late” in life, have kids with different partners, aren’t religious or traditional, lean more liberal than conservative, etc. We have a large Native American population in the state, who I’m sure are have similar (or worse) stats as some black communities.
But of the couples that I’d mentioned earlier, where women are with “normal” men, those couples are made up of people from a variety of backgrounds. I don’t think a woman marrying an average Joe only happens in traditional communities, I think it’s just a human thing. A lot of people who want to marry someone usually want the same thing, regardless of where they grew up.
I do as well. I think this is a thing worthy of our concern and support. I think only good can come from households with loving, responsible parents who provide stable homes for children and who are good examples of what responsible adult behaviour should look like.
I mainly just dislike the whole idea that “it’s so hard for men these days.” I don’t buy it. In high school, guys would routinely rank girl based on hotness. Things like, “Well, she’s skinny but her face isn’t great” or “Super nice rack but no ass” were often heard. But now a woman can’t be a little choosy with the guy she gets with, and if she is it’s really hurtful to the man? LOL.

Greenboy is still banned right?
A friend sent me this last night, and it reminded me of what you posted about earlier in the thread @Beyond_Beyond.
When I hear or read a guy such as the one discussed in the OP, what comes to mind is not a female nursing director, business executive, school principal, lawyer, and so on. I think the man means females running nations at the top of it all, because like I said, he thinks that women aren’t vindictive as men, perhaps more so, which many men can attest to. But as we see in reality a feminized nation can fall prey to those that are not. And in one, the muscle used would still be predominantly male, including law enforcement that has arrested and jailed innocent men in cases in which there is false accusation, which means the woman simply said the guy did something. The men like the one discussed in the OP think it would just be fun and games.

Article you might like which I posted in an old thread.
Uhh… yeah… nope…
In a lot of ways females are worse. There’s a reason you don’t see much “cattiness” or emotional manipulation among males (although social media might be changing that) Females are just less prone to physical violence
For example, a guy might bully someone by punching, stealing or some other form of overt hostility. A girl will more likely pretend to be someone’s friend then spread rumors behind the victims back. I honestly prefer overt hostility., but that might just be me since I have a hard time picking up on social cues.
With that said, I think there’s a reason there should be more women in leadership (political or otherwise) that hasn’t been mentioned: men and women are different and have different needs. When men are in charge, they have a tendency to ignore female needs. For example, high taxes on feminine hygiene products, inconvenient bathrooms, poor road/sidewalk design that make it difficult to push a pram safely, designing car safety standards to the average male body-> higher fatalities for women
It’s not that men are intentionally designing spaces to be misogynistic . It’s an inherent bias to humans, it’s just that women are put in a bad position because men happen to be in charge
I don’t think leadership should be majority female, but I think more women in power might help balance things out
The USA used to set the standard for an effective military. This is what happens when you employ too many woke types in the military.

Based on where tech is going, I’m less concerned with the military. I’d place my bets on my classmates and gamers
Thanks again. Like the author says the article should be digested over a period of time rather than all at once, so I have only given it a brief skim, so far. It looks very comprehensive in summary.
I wonder if its the same Imran Khan, who captained the Pakistani cricket team, then went on to become Prime Minister? I’m guessing its probably a reasonably common name in Islamic countries, just as there are many Mohammed Ali’s out there, but only one was considered the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time.

Not sure on what you are implying. Is it with the developing technology it will be more about drone strikes, rather than boots on the ground, doing conventional warfare?

drone strikes or some hacking shit (ie shutting down power grid)
If we’re talking boys, the emphasis needs to be on might. They are not as violent towards one another as some may think. I’m not referring to gang members who’ll shoot someone with little provocation because that’s a question of criminal behavior.
The majority, by a huge margin, of physical altercations in schools is between girls.

Even with conventional warfare the majority of soldiers are not combat troops. I forgot the figure but for every combat soldier in the field, there is more than one soldier in a support role.
