Pucker up dumplin'

Electronics/physics tends to be a very male dominated subject , Im not suggesting women cant do it , its just society tends to steer them in other directions .
I did a search on the proportions of male/females in GDIY a few years ago , it seemed to suggest only a few % of the users were female .

Its been found that females are disproportionately vulnerable to what they see online , in terms of advertisng ,especially fashion ,beauty and health as well as group peer pressure etc .
Thats certainly not to say men are immune to the various body dismorphic type illnesses that seem to be on the rise due to people doom scrolling and comparing themselves with the false lifestyles that tend to be presented on social media .

Humans over the course of our existance typically formed up into close knit groups in small towns or villages and the sourounding areas , new ideas didnt tend to spread very quickly , if one tribe adopts a new idea and within a short space of time suffers negative consequences as a result , its naturally self limiting . Conversely with social media very bad memes.ideas and practises spread like wildfire , its a positive feedback loop that tends to self amplify unchecked ,to the point of meltdown .Large economies are formed off the back of these bad memes and inertia turns the situation into a run away train scenario , to big to fail,with the investors demanding their returns , manipulating media coverage to keep a firm lid on the downsides , the pharmaceutical industry is a perfect example of this .

I guess back in the old days we settled for a nice local girl , so you had the support of family on both sides to help raise the kids , its a major plus point . Now with the internet peoples expectations are unrealistic and their ending up alone ,instead prefering to live a world of fantasy ,window licking the lives of the rich and famous .

Ive asked a few females I know who grew up pre internet what they think of this beak like lip pout , we basically agreed lots of people are like lemmings running head first towards a cliff .
Id certainly like to hear more females speaking up on these issues ,but if you posed these kinds of questions in mainstream social media youd be torn appart for questioning peoples 'right' to disfigure themselves .

I quickly read through this article before i made this post but it doesnt really offer up much in the way of conclusions or ways to try and solve the problem .

Modern dating/courtship is broken. The “Blue Steel” aka “Zoolander” face is not the only thing, If you approach women, you are called a creep, but if you don’t approach them, “why are men no longer approaching women?” And you are called insecure for not approaching. The only way to win the game is by not playing.

Dating App Fatigue Emerges

For half a century, how couples met in America was primarily shaped by family and friend networks, communities, churches, colleges, and workplaces - you know, just the traditional fabric of Western society. However, the advent of the internet and the rise of Big Tech, with its closely guarded algorithms (and now AI bots), have dramatically reshaped modern romance. Yet, new data from Goldman suggests that how couples meet, whether online or through dating apps, may have reached a major inflection point.

Ive remained unmarried but still on friendly terms with the girls I knew over the years ,
The vast majority I met through friends of friends and when I look back and think about it and compare it to the modern idea of internet hook ups its its far safer meeting someone through your social circle ,as well far less likely for either party to cheat as theres a good chance if one party does that it becomes known and they'd face a backlash . In contrast , the internet and dating apps probably suits serial sex additcs, users and people of a narcisistic dispostion better as these natural checks and balances dont apply as a character reference .

The internet is fundamentally changing the way we interact as a species and not for the better . Ive a buddy who's played the guitar in bands for years , to be fair hes also played it fast and loose with the ladies , he called to my place for a vist one time passing through the neighbourhood Id lived in most of my life , he ended up getting a Tinder hit from a neighbour of mine ,who shal we say didnt have the best reputation
From what I gather now many of the younger generation use Tinders proximity detector to try and find someone suitable nearby and the tried and trusted reccomendation through family, friends, neighbours, social circle or workplace is less relevant.

I'm also single. I agree with everything you said. Although I still believe in traditional marriage, I think it is impractical and unattainable in most cases in modern times, especially in western society. That is not to say that it cannot happen and succeed, it is just that the odds for success are so small that I am not willing to become a guinea pig to test if it works out for me or not. Most have tried and failed, I've learned from that lesson, and thinking that "I might be special and things might work out for me" is either cocky, stupid, or both.

Marriage between a man and a woman evolved over the course of human evolution as the best framework to raise children .
In times gone by life was orders of magnitude more difficult , work tended to be more physical , all the daylight hours were taken up just trying to make ends meat . Families were large and life expectancy low . In some ways that was the glue that held marriages together .
Now people live vastly longer , with all kinds of external influences , people grow appart or perhaps see what the outside world has to offer and want things they dont have or arent getting in a relationship .

Theres some interesting statistics here about life expectancy over the last 150 years in the UK

And that is partly why society is broken.

But I agree, it's an endless loop, people cannot get into a relationship because no one wants a relationship or because relationships and marriage are treated as disposable, so people start retiring from the dating market, which just aggravates the problem.

Someone I regard as an extremely intelligent individual said something to me lately that made a lot of sense ,
they said that towards the fall of the Roman empire a culture of sexual ambivalence crept in , mass anything goes orgies were the order of the day and the family unit started to dissintegrate , things went down hill very fast after that . History has a bad habbit of repeating itself ......

Nothing pisses the globalist off more than the birth of a child.
Particularly the birth of a child in a "first world" nation.
Birth rates are collapsing everywhere but the third world for a number of reasons.
It's by design.

Notice how most globalist leaders - particularly in the EU - are childless?
They hate humanity because they hate themselves.

Western civilisation ,if we can call it that, is in big trouble .
The birth rate is diminishing , the health system , pensions and social welfare are unsustainable unless the birth rate improves and people start to expire younger . Wars around Europes borders have led to an influx ,thats by design , Covid was by design .
The planets resources are under more strain than at any previous time in history , that fuels the need for wars .
Our political leaders are only the puppets of the men behind the curtain .

Irelands prime minister and his wife had 5 children , they lost one son soon after birth and subsequently a daughter at the age of seven from an extremely rare syndrome , something I have on good authority only ever appeared a few times before on a US military facillity .

Its true to say there is a curious lack of children born to recent European leaders though . The real underlying issue here is the average birth rate in western society in general has gone down the tubes .
