Most young men are single. Most young women are not. https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3868557-most-yo...

You realize difficulty in dating goes beyond the binary of "has partner? Y/N" Your article outlines several potential reasons. Many of which present challenges to young women as well. Do you talk to your female friends about dating? Most of the men in their 20s need a mom, not a girlfriend. There's a reason women are tending to date older guys... and it's really shallow to attribute that entirely to materialism.

Young women have someone to date. Men do not. Young women are not single. Men are.

Therefore, the women have a far easier time. The women are the ones rejecting men and are still not single. That means they have options.

> Women, for the most part, just have to exist. Curious how this is taken when you say it to a woman in person instead of online in a tech bro echo chamber? > AI partners are going to completely upend society for both genders, and it's going to be a really really interesting time. If there was a way to short this belief, I’d be the next Dr. Michael Burry.

> Curious how this is taken when you say it to a woman in person instead of online in a tech bro echo chamber? My wife doesn't seem to have a problem with it. And some of my female friends have made similar comments unprompted. But I'm fully aware that many women will find it highly offensive. Are you making any point here besides "I don't like your observation."? A fact can be offensive/uncomfortable, and still be t…

Yes, I agree that facts can be offensive and uncomfortable.

I don’t think either of us has shown any useful facts lol. “Some of my best friends are women and I’m offensive and dismissive to their face and they’re fine with it” isn’t exactly peer reviewed science.

Have “men” been rejected by every woman? Aren’t men rejecting some women by not pursuing them? That means they have options.

It's like men are visually motivated and women are verbally motivated. Almost like the sexes are... different .

And yet a vast amount of hentai and erotic art is created by women, and a vast amount of porn targets women. Almost as if the sexes are complicated and not easily reducible to simplistic dichotomies.

There is still a large gap, therefore space for meaningful generalization.

How 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?

I posit that even without a lovense it's still very problematic if you are in a 'committed' relationship with 'real boyfriend'. I believe more and more people are realizing the emotional cheating ( https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=emotional+infedelity&ia=web... ) can be as damaging to a relationship as one that includes physical intimacy. Of course it depends on the ground rules of the relationship - there are many t…

I wonder if robosexual will be a widely recognized sexual orientation someday. LGBTQIAR+
