Why Are Young People Having Less Sex?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 ноя 2018
- In the space of a generation, sex has gone from something most high-school students have experienced to something most haven’t. The average adult used to have sex 62 times a year. Now, that number is 54. In a culture that is becoming increasingly more tolerant, why is sexual intercourse on the decline?

Hi Jesus!
how tf is this guy commenting on literally every video i watch wtf
When I call my bf, the connection is often pretty shitty. I blamed the wifi at his college, but he says Jesus is T-posing on our connection.

Yea dating has literally became a full time job and the women nowhere days are stuck up and stupid espically the younger ones... I been reading comments from older guys whom have been in the dating business awhile they say it's harder to talk and date girls in these times then it has been before literally that is so fucked up...and our birth rate is dropping...and no one gives a shit but wants to jack off to porn or play hard to get....wow what the fuck has this country came to...
you pull yourself together and act out bravely, and only get a dismissive response, so frustrating
Online dating has made it harder not easier to meet someone. Unlike meeting face to face online dating is largely seen as a task you have to go through. There's also too much choice, people always want better. Dating has become way too complicated.
Women have high standards and expectations on their dating profiles and then after that I opted out of online dating. What's the point.
I would like online dating to be banned.

True that. But i don't think women get how men find rejection so scary (this also due to the rise of feminists and whatever).
@@masontully7391 that is so true
Cause everybody is too busy texting, then to bother with real communication
@@masontully7391 The following is from a Dutch perspective, not a US one: I think it has something to do with what she said about the social norms having changed. 20 years ago it was more acceptable to strike up a conversation with a stranger in public. Right now it would be seen as a bit odd and uncomfortable, because people want to go about their day without unnecessary interactions with strangers.
It is also seen as much more dangerous (with regards to murder, rape or bodily harm) nowadays to say "yes" to a stranger asking you out. Especially in big cities.
So if a guy asks someone they don't know out in public that other person is most likely going to decline the offer. And it has very little to do with attractiveness or lack thereof. People generally decline because no sane person is going to go out with someone they don't know and no-one else has vouched for.
Dealing with rejection is something everyone has to learn at some point in their life whether that's about romantic rejection or just the general fact that you can't have everything you want in life.
At some point someone is going to say "no".
Rejection shouldn't be scary. The sooner you know someone feels the same, or not, about you the better.
I don't know what is scary about rejection. If that person mocks you that's just confirming you dodged a bullet there.
Most people, imo, are polite although a bit awkward rejecting someone. They just say "no, thanks. I'm already in a relationship right now/not looking for a partner".
The only way that would be scary is if the ego is as fragile as rice paper on a rainy day.

@@Network126 yup
It's money. Young people are overworked and underpaid
And tired and depressed as a result.
We saw the same thing happen in Japan: as the young people worked more for less, they started having less sex
We live in a sick society that's more obvious than ever before. It's all about money, status, and celebrity worship. It's spiritually sickening. Hence high rates of drug use, escapism, suicide, obesity, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, medication....
JustGlyphs nah, the problem is way more complex than that, Actually poor people seems to have way more partners. And something that they never tell you is that having a decent amount of wealth makes you more selective and increasingly distrustful on the others.
They have their Money but Don't spend it for Material Things and Not memorial things
Ah shucks, this is a big conundrum. I don't know maybe people are more aware of STDs and want to avoid having a kid. Having a kid is expensive

No kids = no continuation of the human race.

DameryDrums, I truly think that the four day work week and the 6 hour work day should be major planks on political platforms now. It's time we reduce the work week. In a time with so much technology and such unequal wealth.. it's really time we reduce the work week. The elite are OVERWORKING US even as technology increases and we should have more time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of our labor... even the fruits of our labor are stagnating and infact (in a whole host of different ways) finding it's way back into the pockets and coffers of the elite... If only people could put aside petty political disagreements and focus on the big important shit. But no.. knowing how conversatives operate, they'd probably advocate for MORE WORKDAYS, LONGER HOURS, and LESS BENEFITS.
True and the tragic part is most relationships start out on our jobs :'v
The hookup culture is overrated.
And with new STDs, scary. Why are all the women on Tinder, single mothers?
hahaha
@@taunoctua245 Yeah. I've seen this firsthand. A lot of them are single moms
I have swiped on Tinder a few times and they alll seemed to be mainstream type women, not into the quich hookup culture. And on those sites they charge, and most won’t even give you the time of day unless you’re ready to see them right in the moment.
Theres alot of things that play into it.
1: Social media has construed peoples idea of their self worth(think they are more important)
2: Everyone's standards have sky rocketed because we can see beautiful people having sex whenever(porn)
3: Everyone is riddled with mental problems, nowadays.
4: Relationships have went from something you strive towards to something that is a burden.
5: You can rarely trust anyone.
6: Millennial's and Gen Z have seen marriage fall apart again and again and think it serves no purpose.
beautifully listed chap
Why is your comment not at the top
and don't forget the clap! good ole clap...
Damn that's pretty deep, and still so much more can still be said. Like divorce rate for ex.
Gen Z is only 6-21 who's getting married/thinking of a relationship at that time though.
I'm surprised that they skipped 2 major possible causes :
1 ) People are staying longer in school, taking school more seriously than ever and have less time for sex.
2) The job market is so hard for younger people that it takes more time and energy to get into a stable career.
@B Z I don't know about everyone, but seeing as pregnancy makes me incredibly ill, I would rather risk that with someone able to help me survive it well. Of course, I've been married for 9 years. Why risk having a family with someone if you could be struggling the rest of your life as a single mother? Sexual activity always carries the risk of pregnancy unless one of the partners is properly sterilized.

Good points there.
I don't think kids are dumb. I think they're seeing where hookup culture is leading, STDs, unwanted kids, and ultimately loneliness. I think the new generation doesn't wanna be as dumb as our generation was, which I've noticed and I'm actually thankful for
ye i've seen some shit even my generations does but some of us did improve, i tend to avid a lot of stuff that is not a good thing in life
Also we've gotten a fuck ton better at hiding it and we have better sex Ed so we can learn about how to have sex safely.
This is not about hook up culture this is about people wanting to have sex but don’t have it.
One word. Condom. Prevents STDs and unwanted children. So, if it's so easily avoidable why would it be a factor in why people aren't having sex? Makes no sense
Lorcan Snow i agree. At least in europé the majority is using protection and the birth of unwanted / unplanned kids is and have been very low in (not all) most European countries.
I think stress, asocial life (to my phones and less human contact ) also to much focus on being perfect and having the perfect partner creates issues.
Also ironically even though sexual freedom is higher than ever this leads to pressures to have sex which for a lot of guys makes them withdraw because they feel they are not cool enough to “compete” for the girls. A lot of girls feels they are not pretty enough.
This creates a bad circle of a few % of party youth that are clubbing and having a lot of sex.
Then you have an growing amounts of youth both in male and actually also female that “locks” themselves in.
Also internet porn is adding to this problem.

I think you should have mentioned the part the economy also plays; when people are struggling with two or more low wage jobs, they won't have the energy or finances to date, let alone be in a relationship.
The economy is the best it's ever been, and we have more comforts than ever.
Actually in poorer countries people are having more sex because it’s cheaper than other kind of entertainment liking go to cinema or restaurant or Disneyland. (See Greece, Brazil and Russia) While in most developed countries people have so much things to enjoy sex is no longer the only way of having fun (see Japan), and sex seems a lot more trouble than other entertainment, after all you need to have human interaction to get sex

@@prenuptials5925 the stock market is strong but real wage growth is essentially flat. Unemployment is low but the jobs that people are finding are not paying what they need in order to afford comfortable housing and education for their kids. I think the GOP has a very good point.

@@prenuptials5925 The economy is the best it´s ever been? Clearly you know nothing about economic history. Wages and general quality of living has been in constant decline since the 80s.

Lots of comments analyzing the causes, but almost no one talking about how this video doesn't cite all of its sources. Had to actually scroll through the article before finding that the one about 54 times comes from the General Social Survey. Some things to keep in mind (that this video obscures): the listed statistics apply solely to the US, they represent a statistical average over all people (this includes elderly people), and data was not gathered from people below the age of 18. The above may or may not change your opinion either way, but please, always consult the data source before assuming the hypothesis. Especially in social sciences.
Robert Davis exactly and no one pointed this out and believed these unreliable stats in today's lewd world
The elderly (boomers) are probably banging way more than the rest of us combined. My kid's great grandma has a boyfriend while I do not. hahahahaha
Get this conment to the top so people can see
Well said. Perhaps those under 18 significantly increased. Maybe it is stable elsewhere, but declined for those in their 40s.
Maybe the US is an exception, and it is increasing in the rest of the West.
It’s kind of a given that it’s in the us because they mentioned us surveys in the video and that the surveyed don’t include minors...those facts really don’t change my opinion
Anxiety and low self esteem. We are constantly comparing ourselves with others through social media, and are getting overwhelmed with all the information we get that contradicts other info.

No if you think out of the box a little. There is so much opportunity out there to create bonds with. People are too conditioned to communicate through social media, this is part of the problem, because social media is redefining how people is interacting with each other.

I think the decline of sex in the US is for very similar reasons to the decline in Japan. Overworked and underpaid middle class creates a generation filled with anxiety, and literally nothing kills the mood worse than stress. Even young married couples today are having sex less often than their parents (ew gross) did when they were the same age. Repeatedly passing on a readily available option for sex correlates most strongly with stress.
@B Z Lots of men are reporting higher levels of stress and depression, which, chemically, lead to a loss of libido. Men are seeking sex less than the previous generation, especially with porn as an alternative.
The comparison isn't between men vs. women, it's between the millennial generation and the previous ones, and the millennial generation is collectively seeking less sex irrespective of gender. Hence why we're looking for a collective cause of this statistical decline.
An unusual amount of men are not seeking dating and sex respective to the previous generations and professionals are trying to get to the bottom of why. The existence of statistical decline in male libido doesn't mean there aren't plenty of men (and, frankly, plenty of women) who are still interested in sex. It just means there may be environmental factors which have caused a shift over time.
Unless you have some actual sources on what you're suggesting outside of personal experience, you're speculating, and perhaps even projecting based on personal experience.
Agreeded 100%
Exactly. Can’t really think about bumping and grinding when your lights are going off tomorrow and you’re on your last pack of Ramen noodles.
Also, we’re a generation that’s more hip to the consequences of sex- STDS, abortion fees, child support money, lingering baby mamas/baby daddy’s...I guess it’s more trouble than it’s worth in our minds..

@B Z Piss of with that stereotype, mate.
here in America most teens and Adults (including myself) spend most of their time at their house than anywhere else. We literally cannot go outside to meet new people because their isn't anywhere to go that would be socially acceptable to go alone. When the little time we do everyone is afraid to talk to each other and or looking at their phones.
imalittlelate this is the heart of the issue to me.
The social stigma about being alone is growing I feel. If you tell someone you went somewhere the first question is always "Who was with you?". Going to a restaurant, a bar or being on vacation alone will earn you at least a confused look by others. Hell, some people even think it's weird going alone to the movies! The fucking cinema!

And this is why people are using more and more drugs and getting addicted to them and even to other behavior like overusing social media and videogames. No wonder we are also the most depressed generation that has ever existed in Current times
It seems it used to be the norm for guys to lose their virginity in their teenage years but in modern times it's becoming more common for guys to enter their 20s and 30s as virgins
Anyone else think it's just the fact that sex is more accepted; and so there's less an urge to rebel against the the now almost non-existent prudish status-quo? I mean, the more someone tells me I can't do something, the more I want to do it. Now that it's so normal, everyone's like "meh". I've seen an article on this before recently and this wasn't mentioned either. Must be wrong.
Precisely right.
Yes
This is exactly it.
Honestly I had sex as a teenager because It's F***ing awesome, not becuase I was trying to rebel against anything
I think that definitely plays a role, for sure. But I think the biggest factor is still porn. When you can get basically the same effect as sex without exerting any effort or risking embarrassment and do it way more frequently, people will opt for that.

I am 25 now. When I was about 13-14 year old, I used to think that wow, the world is progressing. Sex is not a taboo anymore and in my adulthood, the society would be much more open to sex. But sadly, that is not the situation today.
Ray 14 People are more open to sex but are getting wise about the consequences like STDs and unwanted pregnancies
I am 53, and Gen X, and it was like that for us too, except we had HIV scaring us. Now you got all kinds of new diseases.
Anxiety, bouts of depression, scarred from ghosting culture, lack of genuine love from people, increased ways to gain knowledge, greater access to travel and other interesting hobbies, stress from tough economy (using time to land a decent job opposed to fooling around to avoid pregnancy and life of poverty raising a kid I can't afford), romance is decreasing, etc...

alidi13 yeah I am guilty of being ghosted, though I prefer to call it stood up.
Again doesn’t seem like it would scar someone. Disappointed for the rest of the day sure, but by the next day you should be able to shrug it off.
Ghosting is a problem but if you date quality people you don't need to worry about that. 😂

Online dating doesn't work for a lot of people in general.
It's easier for me to meet women on Facebook. But they usually live far away from me so that doesn't help when it comes to dating. Lol
Well let's see. Young people work their full time job, spend an extra 15 to 25 hours at their very necessary part time job, or side hustle, then learn that their rent is going to increase again. By the time they get home every night and go over their budget for the month, they just want to crawl into bed, turn on the tv, and want to pass out from exhaustion.
Sadly, it's not just young people.
That sounds like my life, and I’m 61.
America has become a country where people live to work. They don't work to live.
It's wholly unnatural for a human being. People are so tired after work. And with such an isolated, anti-social atomized, alienated society (as we barrel on towards late stage capitalism) it's more of an uphill battle for an overworked young person today to find a life partner than it was for someone in the 50's...
Exactly, but people prefer to say nono it’s those social media!
Also why is it so bad to be single?
And if sex had increased they would have portrayed it as negative (like young people are sex degenerate), now it’s going down and it’s also bad, but the number of times people have sex can’t go up forever it has to decrease at some point too, meanwhile we’re too many humans on the planet. what if less sex was neither good or bad but just different?

@@robertlamb759 The cost of living is a huge problem.
I know guys who are fine with spending their life lusting and chasing and paying onlyfans, porn etc than wanting to find a girl and have a fulfilled, loving and meaningful life with, and the ones who got rejected or dumped are wasting time hating women or redicules love and relationships/blaming women, instead of doing self reflection or bettering themselves. Adding to how porn and sex are everywhere on the internet, people are just so damn desensitised from it all, time is often more forgiving for men than it is to women because of their biological clock (e.g: being in your 20s is much easier to get pregnant, have normal, healthy baby than it is when you are in 30s or 40s), thats why women tend to want serious and stable relationship earlier, to build a family, but this porn and sex culture is just not helping for men, lots of them think "sex is just sex" and are too shallow (same goes for some women), i swear there's just no more intimacy, privacy or value behind it anymore, its no wonder why everybody is depressed.
I’m 18 and I’ve never even been on a date I’ve just never found anybody I want a relationship with and I’m choosing to focus on other things like school and my own mental health. My point being I’m not getting into a relationship and having sex until I’m happy with myself as a person. I feel like that’s rational.

Naah, people don't just happened to have mental issues all of a sudden. It's just been normalized to talk about mental health without stigma and shame.
Camellia S. As someone who suffers from depression, I’d agree. The supposed rise in mental health is probably from diagnosis and reduced stigma allowing people to talk about.

@@camellias.7106 Unfortunately that stigma and shame is what used to drive people to find legitimate help to overcome their issues and become better more functional people. People who could and would often go on to help other who are dealing with the same problem they once had to face.

Around 40% of adult males will never get sex. It was all the time. Women are chasing top 20% men
@mwhhd موحد they prefer be alone, than with 6\10 or lower man. It is nature. Sad for mostly guys, but majority of them will never get kids.
Social media is ruining attraction. Both men and women now are competing with instagram models to look like the ideal mate. Hence the insecurities to go out and be a sexual being. For example, a slightly overweight man might now think he needs to be ripped before dating and attracting girls. This stems from our social media culture.
I agree. Porn also causes this problem, since most porn stars do not have typical bodies.
This is going to be even a bigger problem in the future. Maybe even the end of sexual interaction....

I completely agree with th statement "it's become less acceptable to strike up a conversation ,without deeming it to be creepy !
That's because we're a more isolated and individualistic society than even back in the 40's when a young man could strike up a conversation with a young woman he saw at a diner or a milkshake restaurant, or a parking lot or whatever... now it's considered "creepy", "awkward", or whatever... its sad
Yea man, do you know how many times i’ve tried to strike up a conversation only to get a weirded out look in return? As if to say, “if you want to socialize why aren’t you using facebook?” As if these platforms have become more significant than actually having a conversation.

A couple of things not mentioned... Sex brings children, if one isn't careful. Children cost money that many people dont have.
And an unpopular opinion that will get me downvoted to the ninth circle - some guys might be afraid of being accused of rape after the fact. Claiming a false accusation never happens is almost as bad as claiming rape never happens.

It is JUST as bad but otherwise, I agree.
Im surprised this video didnt come close to addressing financial and economic pressures. Like... Several studies conducted all over the world have shown that particularly millennials are having sex less and much later (Percentage-wise, theres FAR more virgins in their 20's and 30's than in previous decades), getting into relationships and married less, and having less children... and asked why, It comes down to money, jobs, and anxiety from not achieving as much as they either expect from themselves or is expected of them.
When theres so much discussion and information constantly being put out there on specifically this, its odd that this video doesnt mention it
bloodydove5718 Very true 🙌
Good point, people are delaying marriage (and serious relationships) since it's becoming harder and harder to make enough money to get an household and build a family. It's not explain everything since you can have sex and relationships without money, but it is a factor.
RT
Yes I'm 20 but not a virgin. Having sex is easy but maintaining a happy relationship or getting sexual health care I need is hard especially when I am a full time student and live with my parents. The fact that I can have sex with someone but maybe not maintain a long term relationship is one of the reasons I shy away from having sex in the first place because it's sad that I can have the initial spark from sex but not the deep happiness that comes after from a stable supportive relationship, and it is the latter that I crave. Who needs a partner for sex only if you have porn?

This is about sex not marriage.
Because sex was Darwinian from Day 1 and standards of beauty, social standing and wealth suddenly got a lot higher due to advances in technology and social media. This only shows the genetically and socio-economically best-placed people in their best moments, and the average brain subconsciously begins to believe this is what should be average due to the sheer amount of exposure to such people. Simultaneously, Western culture at large got vastly more elitist after neoliberal capitalist ways of thinking promised that anyone can succeed and become rich and famous if they try hard enough - thereby implying that anyone who isn't high-status is also inherently of bad character.
It's basically culture driving a biological, genetic form of hierarchy to even greater extremes than it would have gone to naturally. It's painfully obvious tbh.
To be fair our standards of beauty aren't really conected to what would be considered genetically fit, sometimes they do, but sometimes they don't.
You can take supermodels as an example, while the media insists in showing generally really skinny womans with a higher than average high, the average man prefer curvier womans (thick) sligther shorthen than them. And this preference is back up by many scientific studies who show that womans who fit this criteria are more fertile and woman body on average fit this criteria because is what womans evolved to do.
you are right.

Yeah - I'm 31 so I guess I'm still young-ish? I never approach any women in public. I don't talk to any women, I don't look at any women, I don't engage, I don't offer help if they're in distress out of fear for being arrested. Apparently giving an unconscious woman CPR is rape so as far as I'm concerned they're on their own from now on. Luckily I have a loving partner but if we were to ever split up I wouldn't even pursue a new relationship I'd just deal with the mental health problems.
I hope you start being able to engage with women more. 50% of the population that you don't ever talk or even *look at* is super, super unhealthy. You may have kids one day, what would you tell your daughter? You need to interact with women, they're just people. You'll like them.

Reality is gonna hit these women I’m a couple of years when they hit the infamous WALL
I think porn plays a huge role in this. Not only does it give people a way to find sexual gratification quickly and easily, it sucks the pleasure out of real life dating for many people.
Online, you can look up any kind of person with any kind of hair and body features doing any kind of specifically kinky thing you’re in the mood for multiple times per day.
People get used to this so deeply that their sexuality becomes shaped to watching videos on a screen. A real life partner is a such a change from what they’re used to that it’s hard to get aroused.
Erectile dysfunction used to be an old man problem, but it’s risen sharply now and spread among young men, all the way down to their early 20s.
I used to be down that hole, (not the ED), but I’m so happy to be out. It might seem like porn isn’t hurting you, but it’ll warp your sexuality.
Once I quit, real life women started to be beautiful again, and now I’m happy with the love of my life. Pixels won’t love you back.
LEFT4BASS underrated comment
I agree
Porn also makes it so that people want sex immediately. Not realizing that in real life, you don't just say hello, and start banging in 5 minutes. It makes people awkward in social situations, because it usually requires socializing for hours and hanging for multiple days before having sex in real life.
Thanks. This is one of the biggest struggles of our generation, let’s hope people start speaking about it
Oh yeah, definitely porn. Pretty much the only reason why no one's bothering to date.

Also the MGTOW phenomenon contributes to the declining of sex and birth rates, but I honestly don't blame the MGTOW men and I see their point.

@@SevenFootPelican I stopped using the bike trails because girls kept approaching me.
I will add more to this. There are trigger warnings for different types of abuse in this, so skip if that is a problem for you.
1. Most of us haven't even left our parents' houses yet, even up to our thirties. Because we can't afford to do so. We want to be financially stable before we start having sex because sex can cause pregnancy.
2. In regards to child care, we also have had more access to the internet. A lot of us learned that what we experienced in our family from our parents was actually not normal, and that we were abused, their parents abused their parents, and it's been a long cycle. Many of us are breaking that cycle by not having children, or seeking mental health treatment first, which like I said, we currently cannot afford.
3. We do not trust the government or school system with our kids at all, another reason we are less excited about having sex.
4. HEAVY TRIGGER WARNING A lot of us were sexually abused in one way or another, even by our own family. Would you want to have children with someone thinking your kids are safe in their own home only to find out years later that their father has been raping them almost every night since they turned 5?
5. We want to get to know ourselves before we start trying to put ourselves out there. More and more of us don't know who we are at all, and we need to get that figured out and be able to love ourselves before we give love to anyone else.
6. Social media and tv content puts unrealistic expectations for what life is supposed to be like, so we are disillusioned. Also, they're always showing couples that aren't even happy, cheating, and girls talking about their boyfriends and husbands behind their backs when both parties should be keeping their love lives secret and sacred between them.
I think not only about technology. Living right now is so much struggle.
Jennifer Parker living has always been a struggle though. That’s not new
Jennifer Parker...Um have you heard of The Great Depression? WW1i-ii?...how about Reconstruction era, or the Jim Crow South?
moviedude22 exactly lol. So many times have been tough. Wanna see tough times in America. This video is talking about dating apps and internet and much of the hood can’t even afford smartphones or internet. That’s a struggle I’m sure you don’t deal with
If you think living with the comforts of modern life are more of a struggle than the most horrific century of human history, than you're a naive child.
For whom?
I think it’s largely to do with the fact that it’s all too easy to be extremely prejudiced towards our potential mates based on the outward appearances of our social media profiles. That amazing attractive mate that “has it all together” doesn’t even give you a chance because they’re subconsciously turned off by the appearance of your social media profiles when they could easily be charmed by your energy had they not judged you on your virtual profile.
Elliot Smith your the smartest comment I’ve read
Your profile's supposed to be representative of the self, though. People in a relationship encounter the thoughts of their partner on all levels as time progresses, and some would rather not encounter the thoughts that come when you get comfortable enough. On some platforms, social media shows what a person is really like. I think that rejecting a person because of how they regularly present themselves or their ideas is okay.
Chesterfield The Grey all my successful relationships have been because I met the person in class/work/coffee shop, etc. All the online dating platforms have lead to ghosting or flakiness.
Interesting analysis. I've seen a lot of interesting comments here, but yours are one of the few that stand out.
Elliot Smith craziest thing is, I’ve had a crush on a girl for ages, we like to flirt. I’ve seen how wanted she is on insta and it instantly changed my perspective on her. She’s out my league, straight away. Social media has become another one of the social hierarchies that we use to choose our mate. It’s pretty fucked up. I’m nervous now haha.
I’m pretty sure that with people more aware of STIs, pregnancy and the emotional pressures of sex, it’s just not our biggest priority. Yes smart phones can be an issue but that’s more of romance than sex. Plus, the Earth is overpopulated so having no kids for a while won’t hurt.
You right, no child support and stuff I'd rather watch porn

We don't like each other anymore. And we are to blame.
Feminism is to blame. They took that shit way too far.
We are addicted to validation. The internet and especially modern internet advertising envelopes us in echo chambers where we just hear what we want to hear.
Many of my inputs have been already said but I put in what my theory is.
1. Time-The economy and jobs are over demanding. Instead if 9-5 40 hour work weeks we have gone to 8-5 40 hour work weeks. Employers don't want to pay your lunch break anymore. Add on top of that your preparation for work. Yeah you have to be at work at 8, but you have to get up at 630 and spend 630-8 to your job getting up getting ready eating and the traveling to work. That doesn't include people who don't have a car or such. Also many people have a second job too.
2-Money. Dating takes money and jobs are stingier than ever and landlords are greedier than ever. You spend almost your entire paycheck having a place to live and keeping your job.
3-Just and Unjust Paranoia. It is hard to trust anyone anymore and that means that the good apples are thrown out with the bad. People are too afraid of everything.
4-In your video 17% consider asking a girl out for a drink is sexual harassment. You might as well say 100%, cause with paranoia and that 17% very few will take a chance especially since the legal system and dumbases believe everything a female says negative about a male.
5-Energy. Kind of with number 1 being overworked with a paycheck that stresses the energy out of you.
6-Media influence. Our spoiled society has been brainwashed that you need a fairy tale lover. Someone who is wrapped in gorgeous wrapping for the movie and can do Daredevil stunts without a scratch or a perfect Barbie doll princess.
7-Conflicting schedules. Again with time. However do to conglomerate greed everything runs 24/7 and a job usually wont hire you if you don't have an open availability then schedules you these roller coaster shift and it is hard to line up anything with anyone including family let alone a date.
Honestly....people just irritate me. I can't tolerate another person for more than 10 seconds at a time. *shrugs*

People don't like each other. Simple as that. It doesn't matter how much you have on your plate. If you can't stand the people around you or vice-versa, it's not happening.
Because we realize it’s a waste of time to keep chancing little boosts of confidence and it’s dangerous to hook up randomly with or with out condoms. You loose respect for yourself the more you date and finally realize you really need to work on yourself and not concentrate on other people for your gratification
