Guy are terrified of contradicting a woman or telling her anything, while women wander around cluelessly, waiting for Some Guy to come along and sweep them off their feet.
I can only imagine that they go home every night, having talked to zero women during the day, and fry their brains with Teh Pr0n…but how does a decade or two of doing this help ANYONE?
But without risk, there can be no excitement or real romance to anything. No girl wants to find out that the guy who asked her out first polled five of her closest friends for assurance that there was zero possibility she would say no. Risk has two components: odds and cost. If something is very likely to go wrong and can have a lot of cost we tend to avoid it.
So the risk times the time cost is. Pornography reducing motivation. Upper middle class men feminized into severe betatude.
However, most of the actual sex seems to involve the more attractive men. Lower class women, unlike their more coldblooded and rational sisters in the upper middle class, have given full rein to their hypergamy. Pornography has also encouraged the less attractive men in that demographic to become dropouts. Motivation is a funny thing. Saying that pornography or video games, another common punching bag reduces the motivation to date misses one important bit: reduces the motivation to date… the currently available women.
