"The Lost Boys" – young men opt for virtual life of pornography and gaming

[Azadina]

Relationships yes, I'm in one right now

It's not a romantic one though, more FWB

Romance is dead (the idea of perfect marriage for life, etc), relationships ofc aren't

If you really want to play with words, you can make everything a "relationship"

[Deleted]

A FWB isn't a relationship lol, I had one for 4 years

I've done it both ways, close enough

Length of time is not really a factor, can have multiple FWB for years, that's not a romantic relationship

Well since we're playing semantics 90% of my friends are in romantic relationships

Just wait until the sex bots arrive. Then women will become extinct.

Actually males become extinct. Sperm can be made in labs soon enough, and it's women who carry the children. Males have outlived their purpose

I hope you are joking, I've seen the man bashing you have put out through out this post, and it's disgusting.

Want to know which side started, or are you ignoring that out of convenience?

I never said anything about sides, that is just how warped your view on man is, and how childish you are. Keep up the bashing I am ignoring you from now on.

Typical. Instead of ranting on those who started it, like the person I responded to by quote, you attack those you're biased against. And choose the cop out of ignore when your argument is crap, and wont hold water.

Funny it's you talking of childish, when you are unable to have an adult conversation. Instead you type crap and ignore so that one can't respond to your crap. Good job.

Real life doesn't have an ignore button and the pk karma system is rigged.

Real world stressed me out to the point I sought comfort online. Porn and gaming isn't keeping me from going out into the world, the world is keeping me from going out into it.

Same could be said about women once an artificial womb and egg are made XD

OT: I feel this trend is due to Men having a history of being the initiator and with access to porn/VR, men are feeling less inclined to initiate. This can be from already seeing something they like and not seeing any women they meet having those "requirements" or being happy with porn alone.

I think the womb is alot closer than the eggs so far

[Drusyn]

they said porn and gaming... not tattoos, drinking, and guns.

Guess I was going to the wrong barracks rooms then lol.

It was bound to happen I suppose. I was close to a somewhat similar situation myself after bad relationships with wrong kind of people. In the end it often just requires you to meet right kind of person who can help you get back into the world. While my exes in no way suited me, I'd not call them completely horrible women. But it never seems to work out if your only focus in life is to find a partner. That's a horrible attitude to go with, has never worked for me in all of my years.

As cliche it sounds you meet someone when you least expect it, but people rarely come into your basement.

Way to go just go just reply in way that makes anyone who dose think all women are demons change their minds I mean I am sure this will keep people who dont think this way of women to continue think that women are just fine!


Anyways on the artical itself I dont see an issue in men or even women who choose to do this I mean if they are working/studying or in some sort of way doing more than 24/7 of porn and videogames I fail to see any harm this dose to anybody at all. I guess if you are a women and dont like sharing a guy if alot of men do choose to go this route this could become a big issue for women not for men at all , seeing as the arrtical simply shows this as being a "men" only issue.

I say let these men do as they please if you got an issue with their life choices the issue here is not them its YOU seeing as from what I can see this dosent harm anyone apart from people odds of finding people to be in relationships with, but somehow the way alot of people in this thread talk about guys who choose this lifestyle its not like they are worth the air they breath anyways so why bother ?

Also if these men do it because they can not be arsed anymore or because they hate women dosent matter hell if they do hate women this is better this way the odds of some total pig ending up in a relationship with some women then abusing and beating her becomes alot lower and if they choose because they dont want to bother then its their choice and and it as I said harms NO ONE.

I know its MMO-C but I can not believe this thread is now 50 pages long and people have been talking mostly about other things than the orginal subject matter like how they hate women or how these men are "weak" for not bother rather than if the artical has any real proof of this and how it has a negative impact on society which it dose not.

It's a similar response to the guy whom I quoted. Also, the emote is there to sort of imply it's a joke as a reply. Didn't seem to help as that one guy sure was instantly triggered. Confirms some bias tho, as the comment I quoted didn't seem to trigger him, but the reverse instantly did. Equality right?

Well if thats how you want to talk to someone who is either jaded from experience or just flat out nuts this is not gone work hell, while of the subject of being jaded by experience if someone said that wow is gone be "fine" and we should simply trust in Blizzard i d probally abandon reason and logic when talking to this person seeing as its a total 160 to my own experiences.

[ro9ue]

This is the precursor to the Matrix.

There is no meaning to real life anyway. If people were offered the choice to link up their brain to experience much more interesting "realities" and basically just be a brain in a jar their whole life... I suspect it might be in our future.

It's just ridiculous to complain to a person who responds, instead of one who starts it. When I entered this thread, it was like dozen pages of women being bashed and blamed for everything, when the article has nothing to do with it. Who in their right mind after that expects a response from me that agrees with such crap? No, I respond in kind. If someone wants to complain, better complain about the ones who started it. Not just that, they've kept going.

I think relationships would actually be the most "pure"... if that makes sense. If females could just get sperm and don't "need" a man for a child and if men can just fuck a sex robot and don't "need" a woman for sex... well then... if you enter a relationship with someone it wouldn't be influenced by anything else than you just want to be with each other.

Maybe that's a good future for humanity.
