If everyone is experiencing it then it is, infact, a societal problem. That's what the whole thread is about.
This whole thread isn’t about nearly all in person interaction being a meaningless waste of time.

> Sure, at first everyone wants her, but many men don't want to marry and raise a family if mom publicly dresses/acts to attract other men's attention. I think you’re projecting some pretty heavy misogyny here.
It would seem that way, but I absolutely love women. Who wouldn't?

Women, they tend to love men.

#144This is all because of technology. Pre internet you could not just isolate yourself and medicate with content since there was only the television. In person communities formed organically as an effect. Those communities have now been eroded by technology. And no, technology cannot help make in person community, it's something organic that needs to happen with people.
Plenty of people isolated and medicated with TV alone. Couch potatoes were a thing. Plenty of people also find community through technology, so I personally don’t believe technology is the only contributing factor here. I do agree with in you general about many Americans not having enough social or communal interaction, though. I suspect this is more a symptom of a lot of other social issues than a purely technologic…
You have on demand options of anything you want now. You did not have that with TV. The pull to isolate and medicate is a million times stronger now than it was then

Smart phones and the ubiquity of internet and video games is really it I think. You never have to be bored anymore, and therefore don’t have to meetup in person to be entertained.
Most people say video games were better pre 2010 and we already had smartphones at that point, just not iPhones. So it's not either of those.
Video games weren't as widespread, personalized, or diverse than they are now. That people who played video games in 2010 said that those were better is immaterial. This graph goes up through 2022: https://i.redd.it/tnrs4wl1ibkb1.png
Same with smartphones. Smartphone apps existed but weren't as personalized and didn't serve nearly as diverse of content as they do now. It's night and day. Surely I don't need to pull up a graph of smartphone usage per day.

Not a counter argument.
It directly shows your make believe past of fairness is a joke.
I specifically said things are going to have to be less fair than they are now if we want them to work. So there's no contradiction there and what you wrote is not a counter argument.
I also didn't bring race into it but if you'd like to continue making the argument that black people are an existential problem for everyone else: Seig hiel I guess.

You make some good points about attitude around sex in parts of the US today, and the erosion of community is a topic I was was more often discussed. Sex ed is also something I was more universally supported. Regardless of your views on when someone should have sex, I doubt it serves anyone’s goals to have young adults getting hurt, sick, or traumatized by a natural part of growing up.
This attitude is also being forced on people through media. Modern media seems almost allergic to the concept of even acknowledging that sex is a thing people do. Then, you look at the ways people self-censor on YouTube to avoid demonetization, where they won't even say the word sex. I see young people today who are shocked by movies and HBO TV shows from the 90s, 00s, and early 10s.
I watch mostly comedies a d crime stories on Netflix and there is no shortage of sex scenes. I am not deliberately searching them out, they just are there basically randomly.
I genuinely do not know what you are talking about heremaybe except "this person is consuming wastly different media".

If you're worried about the mom of your kids leaving for someone else, you have much larger issues than the clothes your wife is wearing.
Yes obviously the clothes are a surface level indication of a deeper problem.
So, err, what problem do you think this indicates? Heaven forbid folks should wear clothes that make them feel good.
