That doesn’t really make sense statistically speaking

Most young men are single. Most young women are not.

#35It's mostly ERP/Fanfiction written by women that has made AI girlfriends possible anyway. Of course AI boyfriend will be at least as possible. You go to a booru website curated by mostly 90% men for your image/video data, and you go to fanfic.org written by 70%+ women for your written equivalent.
It's like men are visually motivated and women are verbally motivated. Almost like the sexes are... different.

Non-monogamy is a thing, especially since most 'dating' is ambiguous/casual now. Multiple women can share the same 'boyfriend'. Twice as many young men are single compared to young women. Many young women these days don't realize their 'boyfriend' just sees them as an friends with benefits and is seeing multiple women simultaneously. -- "Most young men are single. Most young women are not." https://thehill.com/blogs/…
That isn’t what the article you linked ascribes the 60% single male to 30% single female (among the young). They ascribe it to prevalence of bi sexuality in genz females (I.e., cut the boys out entirely), and dating increasingly older men (I.e., bypass the boys for the men). Also women are increasingly improving their own educational and career attainment, looking for partners similarly successful, and are less inter…
" looking for partners similarly successful, and are less interested in propping up the emotional life of the emotionally stunted young men our society turns out."
There's no need to use such angry and charged words when a single word suffices: "Hypergamy".
Female education is the absolute decisive and consistent factor across all societies in suppressing marriage and fertility rates, for good and bad. It both takes away prime fertility years, as well as raises female expectations (Because females always prefer a higher status/earning man than themselves).
So the more females earn, the fewer males they can accept emotionally. Hence the general collapse of marriage/fertility rates when this happens.
This phenomenon is very good for developing countries, preventing catostrophic malthusian booms. Even Muslim countries like Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia now have normal and sustainable fertility rates. For highly developed industrial economies, like South Korea, China, or most of the west, its terrible in the other direction.

#37How is my real boyfriend supposed to feel about an AI boyfriend? In the not too distant future, is having relations with a possibly sentient AI considered some form of infidelity? What if it can control a Lovense?
That’s a really good question. There were multiple academic papers which asked the question if cybersex was infidelity which seems ridiculous I’m retrospect but I have a feeling this will be similar
I guess it may boil down to what is considered "infidelity".

#38You don't need an AI boyfriend. Just buy a console and a headset and you could talk to an infinite amount of real (mostly) male people, many of whom would be very interested in a female on the mic.

I mean, given a roughly 1:1 gender ratio that would be difficult to be entirely true. And I suspect if you speak with many women, you'll get some pretty strong pushback on this. More systematically, surveys consistently show equal levels of dissatisfaction with their dating lives between men and women. For both men and women, it's actually relatively easy to find a partner that you wouldn't consider dating; finding a…
> equal levels of dissatisfaction
Women usually complain about not being able to find “good” men, though, while men report not being able to find _any_ women.

#40Is there a point where escapism is bad for humanity.
I walk my dog everyday. Now that it's a little colder, it's even more noticeable. But I'll walk by an apartment building with hundreds of people and I'll see one or two people on the trail. Forget younger generation. Today I walked by a park with a perfect tobogganing hill. And saw 4 kids, out of a neighbourhood that probably has hundreds of kids.
If more people left the house, you know simultaneously, maybe, just maybe they would find real girlfriends.
I visited a local island with a now boarded up building. I later found out it was a dance hall early last century.
And this dance floor could probably fit a thousand people.
I want to go back ...
