Most of the answers here are correct, but, the realissues,as always, is capitalism and the expansion of alienation under it. Under capitalism people (young men) are alienated in many ways but one of the most apparent ways is alienation from their social and personal lives.

Not only has virtualization made it easier than ever to ignore getting laid, pornography, etc etc, but it is actually anti-thetical to the profit motive of most corporations to have people go out and socialize.

Most socialization is free. Sure you can go to the mall with your friends, or, you cna go to the bar,but, you don't *have* to pay to socialize. Think about most companies like discord, or, facebook, or, especially, tictok. Most of these companies get paid to keep us glued to our screens and communicating through their applications.

Hell when you aren't doing that, because they generate revenue off your data. As all you are is a data piggy to them, you are costing them revenue. It's in their own monetary interest to keep us socializing over the internet as much as possible.

What a sad world we live in and have created.
