So many recent polls and studies have shown that men have not had sex for years. I remember a decade ago it was easy for even average guys like me to get laid, yet today its a different story.

Why do you think its so hard for men to get laid today in 2022

Chads get even more reach with dating apps. It used to be just girls they come across. Now it's all women around them.

The shift to dating apps probably caused it. Straight men do disproportionately bad there compared to everyone else.

Guys often need to get by on personality and it's not easy to display that in an app.

It is.

With the emergence and reliance on internet and technology, it's made younger milennials and zoomers especially more socially awkward. And in online dating the ratio of men vastly outnumber men. Girls were selective as is, but since guys basically swipe at every decent looking girl, girls get 50-100 matches without much effort, and it's raised their standards even more.

Before the internet, social media and online dating apps (and covid) it was so much easier to meet women. It pretty much forced you to go outside and talk to women and it was the only option of dating them. And talking to women in person is so much easier.

Now you have an infinite amount of entertainment with the internet and social media you have millions of socially awkward young adults who are shut INS and would rather play videogames or be on social media in most of their time. Our generations are having sex less than ever, and you got herbivores and hikomori being a legit concern.

If you are an introvert, especially a dude, you have to put yourself out there. Go out and meet people. And if you are gonna try online dating to widen your net, you need to be interesting over the other dudes.

No. If it was "easier than ever" then the sexless rate would be dropping, not rising. Bootstraps rhetoric doesn't beat data.

Yeah because a lot of girls have daddy kinks/issues, need to be choked, and straight up consensually abused just to get off these days.
I guess it's the equivalent of guys needing porn to stay hard idk people suck stay alone life is better that way.

If the numbers say that men are getting laid less then that's just the truth. But it's not like video game forums are particularly incel-free.

The decline is real.

Online dating doesn't help either. As has been mentioned, women get so many prospective matches thrown at them that it actually negatively impacts the chances of the men on those sites. Once you get into 10+ territory there's a natural tendency to combine the best quality of any given prospect into an unrealistic ideal candidate that simply doesn't exist. As a result those 50 matches just sort of flag over time and they throw themselves at other women and repeat the cycle.

The stats state that it is harder, so I believe them. However, I have only really been in the dating game the last 5 years (after 20 years with my ex wife), and I haven't found it particularly hard. So maybe it is harder, but I think with the right mindest, expectations and learning the right communication skills, it isn't as impossible as some here make out. But it does take work for some guys to develop that mindset and skills, and it would be worse for major introverts.

There are lots of tactics that help for dating apps. And for in-person, simply having a friend group and being willing to go out and be social will end up doing the trick eventually.

I don't understand why so many guys have so much trouble. I'm certainly not a giga-Chad, but I'm not horrible looking either, and I get women interested in me without even trying. I'm gay, so I don't go for it, but I could if I wanted to. I've known guys who were complete losers in life who picked up women all the time, guys who were less attractive than me, far less intelligent, and broke-ass bums to boot. But, they were socially active people who met and talked to women all the time, they got turned down by lots of them but never let that stop them from trying again with someone else. Some of these guys did have the ability to turn on the charm a little bit, but none of them were Casanova, they just knew how to get women to laugh and continue the conversation.

Dating apps are bullshit, and guys who pick up women don't need to use them, the old-fashioned method of actually talking to them and not spilling their spaghetti everywhere will never go out of style.

I agree but the bolded is the problem for much of CE

I don't think the apps are bullshit. I have had a lot of success with them. My relationships and flings have been about 50/50 in terms of apps and real life meetings. Might as well try both avenues at once if actively trying to date.

They're definitely not. It doesn't hurt to widen your net. It's just that standards for online dating are much higher. You have to stand out vs other men. Your profile pics, your description and if/when you match, what you say. Not even a, "how's it going?" will cut it.

As someone who kinda drifted in to that category, I just didn't have the time to even think about sex, and when I did I was usually too tired. It wasn't until I had a damn near complete overhaul of my life that sex was even a thing I wanted to think about.

Oddly enough, I think social media was the biggest factor. As soon as I cut that more or less entirely out of my life I felt like shit almost constantly.

If you haven't had sex in years...

1) You probably don't leave the house very much.
2) You probably don't go to the gym.
3) Your standards may be too high.

I'm a 25 year old virgin........... so of course it's dam harder nowadays lmao. Same for my other friends too. One of my buddies even caught his gf with her ex just last night.... RIP. Never seen him but I bet he's a "chad".

Personally I gave up on the dating game (never really tried tbh) and don't really care at this point. It's just so stupid nowadays where we have to rely on shitty dating apps and such. I rather have this lifestyle than those who are so dam desperate to get laid and many are perusing the incel/MGTOW lifestyles.

I even follow some hot ladies in my insta and it's mind-blowing to see that some men legit give insta models money for no reason... "hey bb what's ur cashapp ima give money ok bb?". Omfg.. what a sad world.

This sounds very incel like and toxic, especially calling a successful guy a "Chad" (not that I condone cheating)

Women have this oddly interesting thing about being open with gay guys. There's this whole tik tok trend about dropping your titties out for your gay best friend.

Also I'd like to know what you consider women being interested in you. I've had quite a few women over the past years that I thought were interested in me but when it came down to it they were like nah.
