I wonder if it’s more than just correlation that Facebook was made available to everyone in late 2006. Modern dating kind of sucks.

Modern dating does suck and probably doesn't help contribute to fertility rate.

Nah, even among married couples it’s still way down. Costs and incentives are just way misaligned right now

People keep talking about the birth rate like it's just an economics problem, but it's not. It's just that people are too comfortable with thinking in economic terms, and looking at it from the angle of culture is taboo in many ways.

You can speak for yourself. I’ve been able to “do it” with more than a 100 women because of dating apps. I can’t even imagine being able to do that without meeting women online.

  there must be more to it. You're not picky? You're atractive? You've got game? You're on a site for hookups and not one for long term relationships? I meet less than 2 women a year from dating sites. I've been on them since 93. Just rejecting relgious women easily removes 95% Of the rest, a large percentage write nothing in their profile so that I have no reason to write. And, personal preference means I'm interested in at most 1 of 20. no, I'm not looking for models, just something that suggests we might be a match

    Not particularly picky. Needs to be atleast a 6 superficially. I’m not attractive, probably a 4 or 3 and not white/black. But I am tall and if I can speak to a person I’ve often been called charming with a booming voice. I’m talking about the past (5-7 years ago), I’m happily married now.
