What's going on, everyone?

Jeremy here from The Quartering.

Pretty interesting conversation that started late Friday, went on through the weekend from the likes of Matt Walsh, Elon Musk, and more about a graph that hit the internet from a recent ish survey that said young male folks with zero partners, under thirty,

since they turned at zero partner since they turned at skyrocketing from eight percent in two thousand and eight to nearly thirty percent in two thousand eighteen just ten years later.

A lot of people have an opinion on exactly why this is.

I'm going to discuss why I think it's obviously a combination of things.

Obviously the widespread availability of those spicy videos is certainly part of it.

The parasocial relationship with websites like those fans websites I think is also part of it.

And also, uh, you know, men just checking out, seeing the way that, you know, the deck is stacked against them.

In many cases with women, men just deciding, you know what, I'd like to keep half my stuff.

Um, I'd like to not get, uh, you know, canceled if I put my arm around somebody or, you know, I'd like to, you know, just in general, not have my life ruined.

So I'm just going to check out completely.

There's some part of that.

To see this, holy heck, this is unbelievable.

People say, alternatively, honesty might be on the rise.

Many young women are also choosing to share top shelf men with other women rather than dating a man that's at their level.

Top shelf men are out here building harems while women are happy about it, hence, situationships.

Well, there's that guy who famously did the girl math with dating apps video, where essentially women are willing to hook up with guys who are out of their league, and it gives them the sense that they are above where they really stand, so then when they actually hit the dating scene,

They think their value is too high and they can't ever find a partner.

Like better looking guys are willing to sleep with you, but they're not willing to wife you up, essentially.

And there's a lot of guys, good guys in the middle that they're overlooking, they're ignoring this type of thing that are feeling out of the conversation.

Well, Matt Wall says a lot of theories to explain this, but it's very likely, very clearly like ninety eight percent because of spicy videos.

Well, you know, I would argue that those type of videos certainly existed way before two thousand and eight, um, VHS DVD format, but also.

Two thousand and eight is still, I mean, high speed internet.

Like you could argue, okay.

Smartphones, high speed internet availability, um, certainly has risen since two thousand and eight, but it's not like two thousand.

It's not like nineteen eighty or even nineteen ninety.

where maybe you had dial up internet and you would wait a half an hour to get one picture.

Two thousand and eight broadband internet was still pretty available, pretty widespread.

There were obviously plenty of websites to get these type of videos in two thousand and eight.

So I think it's more complex than that.

You know, and John says, you know, it was still ubiquitous before.

Oh, wait, not like it is now.

Matt Wall says twenty five percent of the country still didn't even have an Internet in two thousand and eight.

OK, fine.

The hub has only had only just been invented.

YouTube was a couple of years old.

Same for Twitter.

It was very early days.

The Internet in two thousand eight was not the very early days of the Internet.

I had a YouTube channel not that long after that.

In the year of the internet, the internet was cranking.

You had IRC, file exchanges, Kazaa, Napster, all that was way before the year of the internet.

Yeah, I would think, you know, in two thousand and one, Napster was worldwide, had one point five million simultaneously, one point five million simultaneously sharing files, most of which was music and prawn.

So it wasn't exactly hard to get in two thousand and eight, seven years later.

Elon Musk chimes in and says,

It's not Prawn, which has been readily available from the days of VHS tapes, but rather the general temptation of the online world.

Now, this I would tend to lean more towards.

If you're going to blame anything, blame it on anything electronic.

Hookups is not what matters.

Lots of people are having hookups and no kids.

Population implosion will end civilization.

Cernovich chiming in.

This problem was almost impossible to get, especially if parents were religious.

We would find old National Geographic issues at the library.

VHS had a plot line that was tame, believe it or not, college aged men.

have had hookup issues.

That's why Bluetooth is so popular.

That's true.

And that's probably because of PRON.

But again, Cernovich is acting like two thousand and eight is nineteen fifty.

You know, two thousand and eight, you could still download whatever you wanted.

You know, you see Scott Adams saying for sixty percent of men, PRON is a better experience than their best human female option in twenty twenty four.

It's also faster, safer, and more economical.

People have become less attractive to each other in a major way now, including a political affiliation, obesity, low T, mental health, all sorts of stuff like that.

I think all of these people are right.

You know, prawn is part of it, but it's not everything.

Matt Walsh continues to say it's been available for many decades, but not even as close as accessible, ubiquitous and widely viewed as it is now.

That's fair.

But again, two thousand eight is not two thousand or nineteen ninety eight.

Just as one small data point, Playboy, as a peak, sold seven million copies a month.

The Hub, just one website, gets something like fifteen times as many visitors per day.

Way more people are consuming it today, way more often, starting at younger ages, and the videos itself is far more, you know, debased, just no comparison.

And that's fair.

That's fair.

I mean, also, the industry has doubled since around two thousand and seven when iPhones and the hub first launched, there's the industry's revenue up to one hundred and twenty five billion dollars.

You see a lot of people say, you know.

About fifty percent of men have hooked up actively before reaching the age of eighteen.

It's therefore worth noting that any eighteen to thirty year old who has had an experience of seventeen but not after eighteen would be classified a virgin in this study.

So this is what the actual study is.

This came back out in July of twenty twenty three.

That's what everybody's cherry picking this chart.

New study reveals that it's young male Virginians on the rise.

Well, if you're like me, your first experience was before you were at teen, you know, something like fifteen, sixteen.

I think girls on average, it's like fourteen or fifteen.

So by this very study, it's, you know, it's like, have you hooked up after the age of eighteen?

Well.

No, and but you might have hooked up in high school, so you're not actually technically a virgin, but.

It's worth talking about on a larger scale, not rising for the reason that incels claim.

Look, I think that

Here's what it says, do a few alphas dominate the entire bedroom economy?

It's not even assuming that GSS data is correct.

We can ask if another piece of the in the cell narrative is true.

Do a few Chad's and Stacy's really monopolize the market for hookups?

Many people quote the rule of thumb that the men have the bedroom activities.

Is that true?

As it turns out, the answer is no.

And of course, it isn't.

Imagine how much hooking up those men would have to be having.

A substantial share would need to be doing two days on a regular basis to maintain that kind of share.

In reality, according to the GSS, the top of the most attractive never married young men have about fifty to sixty percent.

Well, that's not that much better.

They're still having more than double the available.

So I don't know if that necessarily debunks it.

The rise of voluntary celibacy, most of the hookups I've had, I wish I'd never even bothered.

This is, by the way, women on this side.

Doctors warn that US is barreling towards the same fertility crisis as Japan, where one in ten men in their thirties are still virgins.

A third of women will be childless.

Well, that's because, you know, birth control, no responsibility.

You can be a girl boss.

I mean, feminism is why that is.

Japan's birth rate in twenty twenty was one point three four births per woman down from one point five in nineteen ninety two.

US birth rate is just one point six, its lowest level recorded since data was first tracked in eighteen hundred.

Why do you think that is?

You know, that's feminism.

and the hyper hookup culture.

Is there a quote unquote unfair advantage at the top for Chad's and Stacy's?

Yes, there always has been, except that the gap has gotten far larger now with hookup apps.

because they're gobbling up.

Some of these guys and girls are having two a days, three a days.

The other thing is men are getting more informed on their own rights, and they're looking at no fault divorce.

They're looking at the way the family courts treat men.

They're looking at all sorts of stuff like this, and they're checking out.

Like I've said, I know several men who I think are ultra high value who are friends of mine,

that are just not interested in a relationship.

Not interested at all.

And no, they're not into other men.

They're just happy with what they have.

You know, we have the rise of A.I.

relationships.

We have the rise of the parasocial relationship with OnlyFans, all this kind of stuff.

Japan announced this week that as many as one as a third of eighteen year old women may never have a child due to a hookup recession.

Boys, time to move to Japan.

and has plagued the country for decades.

One out of every ten Japanese men in their thirties is still a virgin.

And the country's fertility rate has plummeted to one point five in nineteen ninety two to one point three in twenty twenty.

The lack of babies being born is already having a real world impact.

Japan's economy has stalled and caused the country to lose its place as an economic superpower.

Experts warn that the U.S.

is barreling towards the same fate with fertility rates as a historic low.

and an increase in relationships that do not involve any behavior in the bedroom.

You can see the population growth percent change here.

And then if you look, their stupid social thing wasn't over this.

At this point, births and deaths are almost intersecting, which means then you're going to have a you're decreasing population.

What are all these people talking about?

We have too many people on the planet.

That's just scientifically untrue.

You know, there are financial activities.

There are nothing in the data that suggests the trend is going to reverse itself anytime soon.

Dr. Philip Levine, professor at Wesley College in Massachusetts said, he added that the financial incentives such as those promised in Japan for families with three or more children are unsuccessful at significantly raising a country's birth rate.

And we may have to learn to live in a world in which birth rate is low.

In January, of the year, Japan increased its financial incentives and offered one million yen per child to families who moved out of greater Tokyo.

It topped an existing relocation fee of three hundred thousand yen.

It's too early to tell if that will help.

I mean, I don't think people have kids for the money, although you could say maybe in the welfare community, that's true.

But I think that there is a combination of men just checking out completely, just deciding, hey, I don't want anything to do with, you know, women.

I don't want anything to do with hookup culture.

I don't want anything to do with, you know, being canceled, getting me too.

I don't want people calling me a weirdo for going up and talking

to women.

This is all essentially because of feminism, internet, parasocial relationships.

It's a combination of things.

What do you think?
