How Technology and Capital Killed Eros, By Turning Life Into a Contest for Self-Preservation

Someone please tell the guy that Europe works just like the Us currently, he also said he is european...right.

He may have a point anyway, a young person either cares about self preservation or reproduction because the first one prevents the second one when there is a real risk around.

Regarding the stats 30% of young guys aint getting laid against 10% of the girls gets translated as "young people aint getting laid", well in my opinion 1 out of 3 is different that 1 out of 10 but apparently he is too busy bashing capitalism to notice numbers.

My opinion is that young people (males especially) are not having sex cause they lack what it takes to attract others, in the current state of depressed economy for the first time we see people in their 20s getting paid less than their parents and their grandparents, many do not own a house or a stable job which is a huge problem for me seeking women.

At the same time women quality dropped to an all time low in human history while their demands reached the all times high, that explain while 30% of males aged 18-30 didnt have sex in the last year.

Cant really tell about that 10% of women in the same condition but I believe they must be ugly as fvck, feminist or some other uncurable disease.

We are all living in a rat utopia experiment on a bigger scale in my opinion except that the free food doesnt arrive.

Personally I don't even believe 30% is an accurate number, because we already know that men exaggerate their sexual experience when they selfreport it, like when men and women say how many partners they've had. It's probably higher than 30%. And of those who have had sex, some probably just had it as a "nearcel": they got lucky a couple of times or something with a woman, but that's it - not reproducible. No regular sex. Or they had a woman they could have fvcked regularly but she was so unbearable or disgusting that they had to dump her and preferred to be celibate (that has been me).

Now for actually reading the article, I myself am more or less an anticapitalist sympathizer but that guy blames every human behavior on "capitalism". He also notes that 30% is more than 10%, but then in his writing he acts like men and women are incels in the same numbers. It's also funny when he says something like "the ones who aren't 6s and 7s on tinder don't get laid", which hows how clueless he is. If you are a male 6 or 7 you can't use tinder lol. He would know that if he had any clue. That and other things like the general way he writes, lead me to assume he just wrote the article or was assigned to write it like crappy clickbait rather than because he himself is informed. Then he goes on to say a 6 is hoping to match with a 10, but again doesn't specify gender, as if men there aren't getting laid because they just need to adjust who they swipe on and also as if women can't date up. I couldn't last reading the article longer than that, I find his writing to be sentimental and meandering like a histrionic woman writes which was irritating from the start.

Good analysis, agree on that, he surely doesnt know what he is talking about regarding those dynamics.

A male 6 on tinder gets swiped left so much that at some point the algorithm no longer shows him to women let alone being succesful, maybe a male 7 can get a match here and there.

Not sure I believe this. I mean, I'm a toad, and I've never had an issue attracting ladies for sex. However, I didn't say the feeling was mutual (me with them). So, if a toad can get sex, so can a regular dude.

When I go on Tinder and swipe, I'll get a match, but she will NEVER message me. I have to do the messaging. OKCupid, ZERO matches and zero messages - something is wrong or bizarre about that app/site. Bumble, I'll get matches and of course she'll message cause she has too, but it's still like 20% that a message will come. Happn, I have messaged during the summer, and I get matches every now and then. POF, get matches and opening messages every now and then, If I go on. If I make an effort you know Swipe, then I'll get matches and very few messages, except on OKCupid where I get Nothing (do you have to pay or something for her to be able to see/send a message?).

There is no incels in Communist countries? This is just in Capitalist countries?
