It seems that socializing may be impeded by lots of singles because efforts of simply maintaining a friendship can be more easily mistaken as a romantic advance.

In my estimation the growing number of singles and late marriages could explain partly why people spend less time socializing (it may not be just video games, internet, porn and work).

This may also make it harder for friendships between the sexes to form.

Heinrich et al. 2012 (https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2011.0290) listed various advantages of monogamy, but they do not seem to consider such benefits (reduced intrasexual competition goes into the same direction though). Here are things they have considered which are also interesting:

  • Monogamy suppresses intrasexual competition and reduces the number of unmarried men, thereby reduces crime rates, including rape, murder, assault, robbery and fraud.
  • By shifting male efforts from seeking wives to paternal investment, normative monogamy increases savings, child investment and economic productivity.
  • By increasing the relatedness within households, monogamy reduces intra-household conflict, leading to lower rates of child neglect, abuse, accidental death and homicide.

I knew an ex-foreveralone who finally got a woman, and got married, and then, after he got married, suddenly, for the first time in his life, women were showing interest in him. Apparently, being married makes you more attractive, not less.

nah when women hit the wall they become as autistic as chris chan lol basically in the west anyway a woman is SOLELY judged on her looks so she can be an issis, rapist, serial killer lol and if she is hot we men who act like babooons when we are aroused will socialize with her. it is our fault i belive we enable them because we can't control our seargent johnsons!

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
