I have been reading this forum for a while and have developed a few of my own thoughts about the future of the SMP and relationships.

First I want to say that for the most part people over the age of 30 now will be fine. I believe the SMP will mainly be screwed for the kids who grew up having the internet, iphones, video games, and everything else their whole life. The main reason I see the future being fucked is because of technology. Kids nowadays have access to anything they want in the world. Porn, video games, social media, netflix, etc. We are seeing an insane amount of anxiety and depression among teenagers due to things like this. For teenage girls they are becoming depressed because of social media. They see inflated version of their friend's lives and are comparing themselves to them. This is causing them to lack confidence and be self conscience. I saw a statistic the other day that had teenage girl suicide attempts skyrocketing over ever other category and I would 100% blame it on social media. Boys deal with the same thing although I would say to a much lesser degree. Boys are also able to lock themselves up in their rooms and play all the video games and watch all the porn they want which is much of what they are doing. I believe that young boys ability to cope with bullying, anxiety, lack of social skills, etc. is another huge factor. The other part is cyber bullying which older people probably don't understand just how big of a deal it is when kids in your high school post embarrassing or humiliating videos and photos of you. Just for example when I was in high school the norm was kids having private twitters and would just talk shit and post embarrassing stuff about students on them. This all leads to young boys and girls laking confidence and having anxiety and depression. It used to be when you left school you didn't have to deal with the bullying and humiliation until you went back, now it follows you everywhere and will always be there.

Now with men dropping out of society and kids being depressed and anxious all the time how will the future SMP be affected? One theory I have is the rich will get richer aka The men who figured it out will keep having more sex while more and more men are giving up because of the ability to cope with video games, porn, and whatever new technology come out. With this though there will lead to more single mothers which just creates a new cycle of kids growing up without a father figure which will makes things even worse. Women are now attending college at a higher rate and out earning men. If women are demanding hypergamy then the selection of men to marry or have relationships with is continuing to shrink. This will lead to a higher competition for high valued men.

Personally I think it will be a combination of many things like the above that will absolutely destroy the current SMP. I believe there will be more single mothers, more suicides, more anxiety, and much less traditional marriage and relationships. I also believe we are very close (probably within 5 years) to the peak of things changing and people actually seeing it.

What do you guys think?
