Anonā€™s got problems, and somehow thatā€™s everyone elseā€™s fault. Classic 4chan

Anyway meanwhile in normal human land, the presence of pornography does not decrease the dating pool.

It has decreased my dating pool by exactly 1. My ex started doing porn and I decided I couldnā€™t go back.

Best thing to ever happen to me. No drunk texts and no forgetting why we split up.

No hate on people who date others in porn. Itā€™s just not for me.

I think my point really is that the number of people who are available to date hasnā€™t really gone down because the industry exists. Now you may not want to date someone in the industry, and thatā€™s totally fine, but anon doesnā€™t even have anyone yet and is complaining about a purely theoretical problem as if itā€™s a real one.

No, they have bigger issues.

I know. However, you said something that made my train of thought pull into a particular station. So you got a useless story because thatā€™s what I do.

And I agree with everything you said.

Iā€™m not siding with the crazy person posting the green text, just explaining their point. They are saying that the simps made it so profitable to be a virtual girlfriend that all women have become one, and there are no girls left that will date him because theyā€™ve learned they can profit off of sex. When you really read it, op is an incel and believes the only thing keeping women from prostitution is the guaranteed paycheck. Op believes that once they realize the money will come in, every girl in the world will become a professional sex worker.

Completely ignoring the laws of supply and demand in the process.

Exactly right; sex work has always existed (relative to the existence of currency/bartering tribute and some semblance of homo sapien societies) and will always exist in some form. There have always been those who are willing to be in relationships with sex workers and those that wonā€™t. The landscape has changed, but the worldā€™s oldest profession remains.

Anon imagines half the global population can be the 1%.

Who knows, maybe 99% of women have died by the year 2035.

Hope my math checks out. If not Iā€™m sure someone else will correct it:

I was just curious: With a projection of 9.000.000.000 people living in 2035: If 99% of the woman died as you said this would be 45.000.000 living woman. This would result in a population of 4.500.000.000 people in total. So we need to find a reason why half of the total population died šŸ˜‰

Yeah, can we please not distribute the insane bullshit of incels on 4chan.

I mean, this isnā€™t even funny.

Itā€™s funny in the sense of ā€œare you reading what this moron wrote? They actually think this? Pathetic.ā€

The whole thing is so fucking ridiculous that anyone who truly thinks this way should be mocked.

Most of the comments here are pointing out how stupid it is and talking about personal accountability and the actual reality of relationships.

Itā€™s not an endorsement ā€” itā€™s a window into the clown show.

True!

But sometimes I just think itā€™s not worth it spreading the mental illness of others. Let it be confined to 4chan, where the post soon will be gone.

I also think itā€™s not great to equate incels with mental illness. I have CPTSD, depression and anxiety and none of those make me act like a fucking misogynistic twat. Inceldom isnā€™t mental illness, and equating it to or calling it mental illness does a whole lot of people a massive disservice.

Take valid social commentary about capitalismā€™s commodification of intimate relationships and the impact that has on our ideas of dating

Turn it into ridiculous, hyperbolic, misogynistic, victim complex nonsense

Oh yeah, weā€™re greentexting today.

Misdirection. The problem is the lack of public commons culture and gathering points in the USA. More sane countries have places people gather in the evenings without exploitation or stigma about showing up alone. Our car centric nonsense and sprawl are a massive liability for present environmental and social needs.

Uh, we call those bars in the USA. Not a big help if youā€™re under 21, I know, but if someone is motivated, they can find places to socialize with other motivated individuals. And turn the fucking phone off.

Edit: Itā€™s amazing, and sad, that Iā€™m telling you exactly how people used to find social interaction before the Internet, and Iā€™m getting downvoted. You people are doing this to yourselves.

Bars arenā€™t really a great solution. Alcohol has a number of downsides. Theyā€™re expensive. Theyā€™re often loud.

It would be cool if we had a wider variety of third places.

I might drink alcohol maybe one in a dozen-or-so times I visit a bar. Europeans visit taverns and pubs just like visitting any other restaurant. It would be cool if more Americans had a healthier relationship with alcohol, instead of living like thereā€™s nothing between permanent and/or total inebriation, versus absolute sobriety.

Bowling Alleys and Pool Halls: Out for serving alcohol. A bar is just a more social restaurant if one can get over the fact that most people drink there.
