A lot of guys are opting out of the dating and marriage markets, and this is impacting fertility rates. Higher proportion of births out of wedlock. Women have overtaken men and are creating an infidelity gap where they’re in the lead. Some guys still want semi-regular access to sex and need to exchange commitment for that, so would they just have to tolerate their partners sleeping with other guys? If they legalize prostitution, the incentive for maintaining relationships with women would go down. We may even go the way of France and just ban paternity tests. Funnily enough, this would have a eugenic effect on society where best-looking and tallest guys would be the ones passing their genes on to be raised by betas that can stomach cuckoldry enough to raise another dude’s kids. Not all guys will be okay with this arrangement, and they’ll check out completely. They won’t really have a stake in future generations, so they’ll focus on maximizing their own pleasures. We might get subsumed by a stronger culture consisting of men with a greater sense of purpose like Islam. I wonder if that’s how they got the Persians who may have gotten too enlightened for their own good.
