Spot on!
It doesn’t. There are plenty of women who had three or less sex partners before marriage. That still doesn’t negate the reason for social pressure or shaming of promiscuity.

Sex crimes against women are absolutely prosecuted provided there’s sufficient evidence and cooperation. What you stated is a load of BS.
That was unnecessary

Negative. People have to be called out on bs.
Again, I’m not talking about the US
The sufficient evidence part is the tough part. DNA evidence alone is proof of sex. If the guy claims it was consensual, it is kinda his word vs hers unless there is video or witnesses (or she was underage).
It is kinda one of those things that is just hard to prove in many cases.
I think what @anna_5588 is getting at is cases are often dropped in which case the victim and people close to her are sure she was raped (because of her character and DNA evidence). They see the prosecution dropping the case as not prosecuting rapists. The reality often is the prosecution can only really prove sex occurred which isn’t a crime. They won’t pursue that case as it will likely lose or be dismissed.
I was speaking to her saying that cases are dismissed basically wantonly. Which is patently false. Like the lie that police “always” lock up the guy during domestics.

I guess my point is to some of the victims and people around them it seems this way. It is a misunderstanding of legal system IMO. I think a lot of people think if a DNA test is conducted that it should be a clear cut case that shows she was raped, but it only shows sex occurred (as an example). They think the DNA test is clear evidence when it is not. I think that is where a lot of this type of thinking comes from.
As I’ve said before, I was not talking about the US
For sure. Not exactly the easiest cases to prove. Been on quite a few calls for alleged sex crimes… Can get really cloudy really quick.

Oh, this is good timing.
I was calling mum yesterday and she upped the pressure on the boyfriend thing.
In the past, she’d just hint at it. Yesterday, she straight up said, “you’re going to be a 4th year, time to start looking for a boyfriend”…
I’m sure she just wants me to be happy, but the more I think about it, the more I think I’m not really cut out for having a partner barring some significant change
Yeah, I thought this too, until I started dating my best friend and realized I was dumb for thinking anything else.
It’s like explaining to a fish why it’s fun to fly… you just don’t know until you do it.

So I would start with stating that correlation =/= causation (as we all know) but if we were to assume Tinder to be the root cause of these anomalies, then I think everything they’ve said in this video is correct.
I am interested in what other contributing factors there are in this timeframe, or if Tinder truly the one ring to rule them all.

I think a lot of people are just becoming more homebodies. I think that is part of it. If you don’t go out, things like Tinder are likely going to be your tool to meet women, and it doesn’t work well unless you are attractive.
I did watch the video. IDK, I know at least one sexless person who is in the age bracket. He puts zero effort into meeting women.

Online dating is one factor. Did you check out my list?

I did, but I don’t know any of those which particularly changed during the timeframe in question for that video. I agree with your list too, I just don’t know if there were any significant changes at the same time period they were discussing.
If, for example, birth control was first introduced during the same year that Tinder was made public - I would argue that Tinder has little to do with the changes. Obviously that isn’t the case, I’m just trying to root out variables if we are to go by the Tinder Release:Sexless Male theory they are speaking of.
(not disagreeing with anything they’re saying, or anything you’re saying for the record, just clarifying data).
We shouldn’t discount that Tinder came out in 2012 - which was a peak in social media expansion and a hyooge contributing factor IMO. I would also argue that pornography changed a lot around that timeframe too, which could very well be a primary cause.
I think this is another contributing factor, along with the ability to simply self-entertain at your home… these things weren’t as easy in times of old. Also considering that social media likely replaced a fair chunk of in-person socializing for some of these folks.
