What does interest me, though, is that it's the same author who said, quote:

"At a national level there are 572,000 single men aged 25-34, but only 490,000 single women in the same cohort. This means there are 117 single men for every 100 single women at this time in the life cycle."


WTF, now it's behind the wall for me too.

Basically, that stat was true for the under 30s. Once you got there, it changed.

Hold on, it's working again. Screen caps.

No. As somebody who lives in an abstinence-only state with teen pregnancy rates higher than the national average, and can count on 1 hand the number of people I know who are abstinent, I can safely tell you that abstinence is not only based on bullshit, but the principle itself is a failure.

Managed to get the article also.
Once again, this is not about single men and single women, who constitute mainstream supply and demand.
Additionally, it only changes a few years past 30, and doesn't ever reach a comparable scale. That's supply and demand at work.

The point is, the supply and demand isn't quite as large an issue as you're making it out to be. The difference is tiny, especially when you factor in those who either don't want to have have, aren't attracted to members of the opposite sex or identify themselves as being a member of the opposite sex. Besides that, virginity only matters in a supply and demand economy if a) there is an economy and b) virginity is prized and valued. It's not nowadays, except in third world nations and small closeted groups.

I'd say a 117:100 sex ratio in singles aged 25-34 nationwide is a big issue. Something I've also heard, and I'll look into that tomorrow, is that 15% of the male population anywhere is considered 'omega', or completely without luck, meaning they will barely be able to have one sexual partner in their life without paying. And unfortunately, I'm part of the expendable part of the expendable sex.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Please read up on the preceding conversation. These figures include the elderly, who are a large group in society.
And because men are the expendable sex, the elderly have a very large female majority in much the same way singles aged 25-34 have a large male majority.

If you check the birth ratio's, in the UK it's 1052 males for every 1000 females.
Well within the statistically negligable boundary.

I like the way you put that.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.
The Parkus Empire: Being serious on NSG is like wearing a suit to a nude beach.
New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

To be honest, the whole Virginity obsession is pretty annoying. I couldn't care less if a woman chooses to remail celibate, but it ahould not be because the feel obligated by society.

Meh, I could be considered an "omega" male but that is my own fault. I figure I will have sex whenever I happen to get a chance and I'm ready, but for me- it is simply a matter of my personality driving other people away. I'm content with only knowing a very small circle of people. It may cause me numerous problems finding employment and so on, but oh well. :D

It is. As someone who works in feminism, I see a lot of stuff like this, the more educated I get. This book isn't the only source of this kind of

The world isn't as modern as we'd like to think. Just look up on youtube "evolution discussion". There are whole classrooms who collectively bash the evolution theory for ridiculous reasons and the teacher agrees with them.

Not to mention, these abstinence-only "education" systems are federally funded and happen in a lot of schools.


Yeah, nothing shatters your faith in the modern world and human thinking like going on the internet.

I think theirs problems on both sides. For one some women in our society expect the government to pay for their birth control, I don't want to pay money for you to screw around, do it on your own dime!

Yet, also the other side needs to figure their stuff out. We have men who call any girl who has sex whores, but get mad whenever a girl refuses to have sex with them. I think we need to more clearly define what a whore is(socially speaking not proffessionally).

In essence I don't even care about this conflict as one side is completely hypocritical and the other is abunch of whores(yes, I realize what I just did there ;) )
