That's a rather misleading headline. The statistic in question seems to be the number of different sexual partners the people have had, not the amount of sex they have, which are very different concepts. Furthermore, the whole "smart people spend more time studying and less time sexing" thing ceases to be at all applicable past university, since being more intelligent decreases the average number of hours needed to work in order to survive. It does indeed sound to me like a bunch of "experts" trying to explain why they aren't getting any and refusing to accept the actual answer of "because you aren't doing anything to attract women."

Well that's not true at all, just because you are done with school doesn't mean you stop learning and studying to advance in your job. I still spend about 2-4 hours a day studying just to keep up with modern programming trends and tools. People who don't do this end up being the "I'm stuck in a dead end job with no chance for career development" people.

It's certainly an option, but it stops being a necessity. You might not get promotions if you don't do your homework, but at least you'll be able to eat. That's less true of lower-paying jobs with minimal qualifications, where that extra few hours of work a day is what's needed to avoid choosing between rent and food. 2-4 hours a day is also much more than is really applicable for many fields. For most fields, professional development doesn't have to take the place of a social life.

Kind of a creepy response which suggests that all of the autonomy is in the hands of women, in that they approach you and initiate every phase whereas, in reality, it's almost always the guys who approach. A lot of guys don't have sex until later in life because they expect women to just approach them instead of making the first move at every step.

I'm considering asking women out to be a part of "doing something to attract women." In retrospect, "attract" is an awkward verb to use to make that point, but the basic gist of the argument is that they should stop trying to blame anything other than their insistence on waiting for women to fall in their laps.
