For me, it's mainly due to lack of success with women. I was a 26 year old virgin when I started going to AMPs. I am 27 now and I still haven't kissed a girl or been on a date with a girl in my life. I have a graduate degree, make good money, but I am a "nerd" and women find this unattractive.
I tried online dating and got absolutely zero responses from women. I thought I would at least be able to get one or two dates from ugly or fat girls, but I was wrong. Not being able to have sex with women is one thing, but not being able to even meet them is so much worse. I eventually gave up on dating women in New York. But when I tried online dating in the Philippines, the results were dramatically different and I got enthusiastic responses from young, attractive women there. So it is clear that women are not the problem for me - the problem is simply American women. There are practical considerations for bringing over a woman from Philippines (e.g., I will have to spend thousands of dollars on a K1 visa application that can take over a year), so for now it's just AMPs for me.
