Paradise Split from LDS Scout Leader charged with several counts of criminal sexual conduct

[doubtingthomas]

What does that have to do with fingerprinting requirements?

Nothing, I am just reminding you. You were asking me yesterday and you accused me of cherry-picking the data.

Listen, we don't want another Parkland to happen. The record number of young single men really needs to be declared a health emergency.

And there are con-men like Taylor The Fiend who are becoming very popular. We are living in dangerous times my friend.

Of course. Too many young single men around is kind of scary. Most are not violent, but a tiny percentage of them are very angry and very frustrated.

And the "Red Pill" is radicalizing young men.

Split thread, UR 4. Moved split to Paradise, UR 5.

Okay, I missed your response, sorry.

Do South and Lei say that the metoo movement intimidating young men is a significant factor in the overall reduction of sexual activity in young people? No!

South and Lei use, "data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Transition into Adulthood Supplement (PSID-TAS) for the period from 2007 to 2017." The MeToo movement started in 2017.

Bozick uses, "survey data from men in the National Survey of Family Growth (2006–2019)" and concludes, "While there does not appear to be a secular decline in sexual activity for men, there does appear to be signs of one for the youngest birth cohorts who are starting to enter young adulthood at the time this article was written."

MeToo is probably a contributing factor. It would be a strange coincidence if it is not.

alcohol consumption likely have causal effects on the probability of engaging in sexual intercourse.

South and Lei blame reduced sociability. A guy with no friends or girlfriend probably doesn't have a good social life.

For young men especially, too busy with work is a important reasons.

Among those "who are not looking for a relationship". There are more young women who are not looking for a relationship.

Jon Birger attributes that difference to voluntary choices by men to postpone committed dating relationships. As the percentage of women in colleges has increased, it has become less important to "lock in" a female partner by investing the time and effort in a committed relationship. With women making up the majority of students, men can have sex without the investment of time and effort in a committed relationship. At least that's what he says in his published books and articles.

Okay. I will think about that, but MeToo is still a contributing factor.

Nothing in your many snippets provides any sort of explanation for why IHAQ's comment made you feel anxious

I am sorry, I was just trying to be funny. No, they don't make me feel anxious (I think).

What does this have to do with the topic? Please start your own thread if this is what you want to talk about, because it has NOTHING to do with the opening post, which was this:

Well, there you have it. You can have everlasting happiness now.

I don't have the time or the interest to chase down all of cherry picked snippets out of which you have constructed your Gish Gallop. But I can see you doing exactly doing the same thing we've talked about before: cherry picking from studies out of confirmation bias instead of reading the literature and trying to arrive at some reasonable conclusions about what is going on.

I am trying to understand it, and it is very important.

My former dating coach talks about the dangers of too many single young men, and he shares a personal experience.

Do you think it is a valid concern? If you do, what is the solution?

[doubtingthomas]

There are a million factors that could come into play in terms of changing survey results about sexual practices over time.

Not in the blink of an eye.

According to the Pew Report, both sexes report the difficulty in approaching each other as a factor that discourages them from dating. But that's far from the only factor that is reported as discouraging them from dating.

Correct.

[doubtingthomas]

As for the difference in numbers from the Pew Report that you keep insisting has only one explanation, one of your own sources disagrees with you. Jon Birger attributes that difference to voluntary choices by men to postpone committed dating relationships. As the percentage of women in colleges has increased, it has become less important to "lock in" a female partner by investing the time and effort in a committed relationship. With women making up the majority of students, men can have sex without the investment of time and effort in a committed relationship. At least that's what he says in his published books and articles.

What to you make of "Young men driving the decline in sex" chart? There is a 10% difference between young men and young women.

Hopefully you have the time to reply, or at least tell me if you agree or disagree. I won't keep bothering you.

People in low-income households do tend to grow up much faster.

So if people in low-income households tend to grow up much faster, can you please show us the evidence? Do you have the statistics to prove it?

There is research, I read it a long time ago. So, I will give you the references later.

[doubtingthomas]

I would argue that the science differs from what you are saying. Here are some sources. Do you have some sources that back up your claim that I could read? I am open to changing my stance if you can provide evidence. I would be highly surprised to see that low income people have an accelerated development of their pre-frontal cortex. That would be quite amazing.

I have to look for the study I read about people in low-income households, but I'll find it.

For now here is one reference

"For some that could be as early as age 18 or as late as age 30. But the average is around 25 years of age."
