I'm still attracted to women in abstract but I can't muster enough interest in actual real life women. I do feel sexually attracted to them and find them pretty and all, but I can't help but thinking along the lines of "I don't really want sex enough to put in the effort to talk to her, there's nothing otherwise interesting about her". Sex doesn't seem to be enough of an incentive. How do I actually become interested in people again? I don't want to die alone.

I was gonna post this on the thread about why people are having less sex, before jannies nuked it, might as well share my thoughts here

1. Other people are now full of liabilities, because you can be accused of whatever oppression of the day (harassment, racism, whateverphobia) at the slightest misstep. This hurts specially men, and since men are initiators, this risk-wariness means less initiations which means less sex;
2. The omnipresence of social media has thrown everyone into a state of hyperreality and they have developed standards that are basically born out of hypercurated social media and pornography they follow. Women want Chads and men want 20yo pornstars, and the real people that exist cannot compete. Women have it somewhat easier in this respect too since pussy still has inherent value;
3. Alternatives to sex and relationships exist. Not the same, but you can get enough dopamine to forget about the outside world from porn, Netflix and videogames, which are all cheap and plentiful and with enough content to take over your entire day. Why take a nonzero risk of rejection and accusations over these perfectly pleasant activities? Of course, this lifestyle makes people more risk-wary, more socially retarded and uglier (fatter and unhealthier), so it becomes a vicious self-reinforcing cycle.

tl;dr we now have literal on-demand fantasy worlds to escape into at our fingertips, which both warp our reality while also being less risky and less painful than real life
