Zimbardo's analysis is terrible. Observations: Boys are preferring porn to sex. Male interaction to female interaction. Television and video games to female interaction. Conclusion I Philip Zimbardo blame media and video games for men's problems. Well games have been around for thousands of years in various forms and television isnt new so it couldn't be anything to do with that. Could it possibly be a problem with women, perhaps they dont offer as much value to men as they used to? Perhaps they are so liberated and independent that they have absolutely nothing to give to a man? Maybe this has something to do with the redefining of gender roles? Nope video games are the problem.

Philip Zimbardo exposes facts that point to a shift in the behaviors of men.

Zimbardo took a bunch of information and failed to put any context in it while also failing to address the other side.

Zimbardo is an old man that didn't grow up in the era of video games and porn. You can see from his TED talk that he doesn't have a clue about how technology works. He made a sweeping generalization about a large group of people. His research doesn't show that porn/video games is the cause for failed relationships. All it shows is that guys watch porn and play video games.

Yes boys are the whole reason that relationships are failing. It has nothing to do with the fact that men peak sexually in their late 20's to early 30's or the fact that young men usually don't do so well on the dating market. He missed many facts such as women are more desirable in their late teens and 20's. Young men are competing with older men for them. The traits that make women attracted to men take much longer to develop. His statistics for social awkwardness relied too much on self reported surveys.

Could guys striking out in relationships be related to the princess generation. The generation of women that were told that they deserve a 10 no matter what? The women that are increasingly narcissistic and feel entitled to everything without having to work for it.

Just in case; I do not endorse Philip Zimbardo, I'm merely placing this topic here for discussion.

From what I've read in the comments this is clearly not Red Pill Theory; what flair do you suggest? (I'm placing it under Meta until I get an answer)
