[QUOTE="VJLUTZ, post: 123367] Beyond that, anyone with a pair of working eyes and a brain can tell that things have changed in the last 25 years.
Why So Many Young Males Are Single and Sexless | Psychology Today
And, really, the only one spouting advice is you (and your "uncle"). If you are so successful with civvie women, then why are you frequenting AMPs?

I'm curious, did you read the entire article you posted? BTW, thanks for posting, it's a great article.
Anyone with a working brain could see that things have changed for a reason and certainly no one gender is to blame.
From the article a huge factor:
“Faced with the choice between an energy-intensive, highly competitive dating environment and the low-effort rewards of porn, young men appear to be taking the path of least resistance.”
Too many Young men have self pittying, laziness and resentment towards sexuality feeling entitled to have partners that are much more dynamic (and attractive) than themselves so they revert to fantasy.
I couldn’t agree more with Redrain’s uncle. Being around those with dripping resentment is a drag.
Some tips to make you less “less attractive”:
If you look like Steve Buscemi (without Steve Buscemi talent & money) you're gonna get Steve Buscemi looking woman. Don't brag about making “six figures” because “six figures” is the new 40 Grand. Wearing your Van Husen shirts or God forbid your Iggles Jersey on a date isn't dressing well. Stop with the wallowing about women not liking you or your Daddy not paying attention to you or society being too hard on your race, religion or politics.
Negativity is the most unattractive quality around. Who wants to be around a sad sack for more than 10 minutes? It quickly gets old.
Why do I hobby? I like getting my back walked on by a woman & the SA adventures cause less destruction than repeated affairs. I’ve never had problems getting into civvie relationships, I’ve always had problems seemlessly getting out of civvie relationships. I’m relentlessly fickle and am constantly attracted to new women. It’s the easiest solution to a “me problem”.[/QUOTE]
Of course he didn't read the entire article!
He only read up to the part that made him feel self righteous about his views and ignored the rest.
These guys aren't actually looking for the reason why they keep being rejected and/or are too afraid to approach women!
Best case scenario, they are looking for excuses not to put in the effort to make their lives better or to develop the confidence to approach women.
Worst case scenario, they are incredibly lonely and would rather feel aggrieved and angry than depressed.
The want to feel better than they do, but can't or won't do the work to feel better.
It has always been way easier to be miserable and blame something else for your misery than to do the hard work to be less miserable. You know where you are with misery and anger, while effort takes hope with no guaranteed return.
Mental health is also a huge factor.
I have a lot of sympathy for these guys, but I hate how they try to "recruit" other guys just so they can feel like they are right, even through on some level they know that the way they view women hasn't made their lives a drop better and in many ways is the thing most responsible for women rejecting them.
It is a vicious and sad cycle that they are spreading and it is hurting the men who get trapped in it.
