I almost was in the 3.3%... dodged it by only a few years.

Then I went without for a long while after though because I mistakenly thought any sex I'd have after that would probably be equally mediocre and it wasn't worth the effort. Realized that was stupid and I was missing out. Now I'm trying hard to get into a sexual relationship of some kind again with some minor success in the form of occasional one night stands. They're OK fun. I think my autism makes it hard to maintain the relationships though beyond one or two nights. My masking inevitably slips a little and I say or do something cringe or rude.

I'm bi I've been contemplating getting on Grindr to explore my homo side a bit more but from what I hear that's basically nothing but one night stands...

TIL I'm like in the 10%

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Shit, 4 more years and I will be in 10%.

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

15% is still quite bad tbh

[–] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The fact they tried to write 15% off is what made me laugh the loudest. Not a "that's actually funny"-laugh, just pure mockery at OP's "well-meaning" take.

Takes 3.5% of the general population to start a revolution. Normies think 15% are ineffectual loners, or uniformly satisfied because their numbers are "so low". They think these men are both scary, and a non-credible threat, un-worthy of even acknowlegement.

Meanwhile, a large number of "non-virgins" who think the same way as the worst in-cels are running the US into the ground. Sure, ignoring them is the right call.

For example, people say it's hard to find a job in the Uk, while "only" 4% of people are unemployed here. That 4% is a looot of people. Now, sure, let's say that some men don't want to get married. But I doubt it's anywhere near 15%

"Male loneliness epidemic" = "all lives matter." Though counterintuitive, they both attempt to bring increased attention to men on an issue that is already universal. There is a loneliness epidemic conversation you could join.

people don't go out anymore ok

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Was at a nearly sold-out Ghost concert in Houston just last week. Had to wait in an enormous entrance line to get to the pool, the day before that. Grocery store is going to be slammed this weekend, because of all the Labor Day parties. Nearly got trampled in the park by a running club of what had to be a couple hundred people.

Damn shame nobody goes out anymore.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

People still go out to events like concerts and holiday parties. Far fewer people casually go out to their local bars and coffee shops during the week. I'm pretty sure that's empirical.

Maybe in aggregate. But I can't speak to that personally. My neighborhood bar is regularly slammed. There was a line around the block for some novelty tot bag at my local coffee shop.

Could just be a Houston phenomenon. But this insistence that nobody leaves the house anymore feels more like Internet dogma than fact.
