I'm mostly my private self when I post here.
I think the argument really has been presented already: Young guys are too much into sex, and feel entitled to it. My generation and people even older than that were brought up in a different time when sex was not something you were entitled to. Back then doing proper courtship also was not frowned upon as "wasting your time". We didn't have mobiles, computers and TV was in its infancy. That meant we weren't absorbed in activities related to that.
However, you too can become a more decent guy that women will like better if you stop feeling entitled to sex and do proper courtship.

So you mean that you only have one public image? That seems pretty strange to me. I regard my roles as husband, father, professional IT worker, private operating system developer, neurodiversity researcher and neurodiversity movement "advocate" as mostly separate. I don't think I need to merge them because you cannot see the difference.

Were you to exhibit any professional respect I would acknowledge it but I find myself dissatisfied in calling myself your peer so I'll abstain. If that's all true stop writing as if you're already divorced & show proper respect for everyone you build ANYTHING for.

Another guy who agrees with me. Maybe someday you'll learn. Thank goodness you're still young and have time and have someone like me to teach you.
Excuse me? Be assured I would tell you if I were making concessions to your nasty attitudes.
Why are you getting so upset? I was just trying to make a funny.
Now seriously, the article speaks for itself. The younger generations do date differently - they hook up in groups, not the traditional dating that has went on for years and this article is just pointing out that women from that generation want men who are more traditional and who want a real solid relationship - not a romp in the hay. The guys in the article talk about having sex with as many women as possible. Women in that generation have done it too because it does take two, however, they are coming to their senses that this kind of dating isn't working for them. I don't understand the defensiveness. Just because I say your generation is doing this, doesn't mean you personally are. There are problems with the dating rituals of your generation that other generations can see.

Jeepers thanks for that totally innocuous generalization. Instead of pulp clickbait methinks we should recognize individual choices for what they are. Something like this could only be posted out of personal bias.
Also I'm 23 & I f*****g loathe tinder.

I can't believe it's young guys being accused of skeeze when this is how our immediate seniors behave. I don't have to demean & marginalize my juniors to inflate my ego because they're good people. One of you should talk to them sometime.

Why divorce? I'm polyamory, so I can steal your women without getting a divorce.

Oh boy. A totally different topic altogether.

You're also mixing sleaze & disciplines others spend their lives on as if that's license to dispense advice. If you said any of this to any girl I know I would be getting rid of you personally & cleaning up your mess. If you're going to b***h about hookup culture you shouldn't be perpetuating it by whining that others only want sex just to demand it yourself.
