Ah, yes. LGBTQ so bad. So bad. Other people being happy makes you sad? LMAO.

>Although I am not an incel, I have had to give a lot of thought to the question of my generation’s sexuality in the past several years, because a large fraction of the guys I have met in high school and college seldom or never went on dates, had sex, or had girlfriends. Many of them still hung out with girls, but a lot of them never connected romantically or sexually. All of it seemed very ominous to me: if one guy can’t get laid, people can write him off as a loser, but if a large percentage of young men are sexually frustrated to the extent that they rarely get any attention from women, there is something very odd going on. So I found myself forced to theorize about what exactly has befallen us, and what are the roots and implications of mass sexlessness in America.

>Add to this the increase in unappealing grooming habits such dying their hair and cutting it short, having large tattoos and piercings, and side effects from antidepressants and SSRI’s (which are prescribed more frequently than ever, and which cause loss of libido and other behavioral changes) and you wind up with far less attractive women than before. The famous Billie Eilish picture (https://hollywoodlife.com/2020/11/30/billie-eilish-tank-top-...) is a good example of this: dead eyes, thin bleach-burned hair in a garish color, visibly overweight at 18, and no intention whatsoever to dress well. In short, many of them don’t care about pleasing men at all.
For anyone else, don't let this post deter you from reading the article. It's far more than what this post suggests. I doubt this person even read the article, if this is all they got from it.
In fact it’s worse than that post led me to believe.

Agreed. The knee jerk reaction I got from it was a lot more balanced:
> It is difficult enough for men and women to love and desire each other in the best of times, when the men are virile and the women beautiful; when neither sex can fulfill its role and the people of both sexes are slovenly and demented, it is almost impossible.
A lot of this seems to be pretty politically loaded and will probably outright turn away many readers. But if you can look past this, the article touches on a real issue that nobody really seems to be discussing - the enormous decline in rates of sex among young people.
For a long time, people have complained about the younger generations, and these complaints are often waved away with the assertion that every generation has said this about their successors for centuries. But this is a rather critical difference - we've never had the issue of a generation that didn't seem interested in reproducing.
The very nature of the problem means that it won't really affect us demographically for many years, which makes it hard to even grasp. But the problem does exist, and we'll have huge problems if it isn't solved. Maybe the government will give huge tax breaks for families with children, or maybe Elon Musk will start a clone growing company.

I think this fellow just needs to get out if the house more. And spend less time on reddit.
