In 1978, 59% of 18-34 year olds were married.

By 2020, 69% of 18-34 year olds had *never* been married.

Curious where they'd go that's open to meet girls at midnight (& where they'd be accepted/attractive to what girls/women?)

I think it gets exceedingly hard to meet women after college, especially if you're working 70 hrs/week in near all-male environment.

I also have questions about bar hours, convenience to late night work, what other opportunities (fitness is one, but can be awkward to interact. Picking girls up in the produce section's a possibility, from personal experience, but's considered unusual).

A friend was telling me about a girl's frustration being straight living in San Francisco a few decades ago. Maybe we should call it "gayming" now, to similar results ;-)

i can see this as i am older(65married grown kids) and was forced to work last 2 years at weekend tech support for a large internet provider and the almost 100% male workforce at Midnight Frid and Saturday would immediately go out searching for an all night gaming opportunity and seemed to have no interest in women. Women in late 20s are more interested in recently divorced 30 something guys (experienced) as partners.

How's that the fault of the Supreme Court? The court's not there to simply overturn legislatures t don't go Democrats' way, much like not overturning elections.elwxtiins have consequences. GOP has been consistent on the abortion front for years.

There's a conservative supreme court waiting to address that one.

LA club known for creepy satanic behavior discovered to have creepy satanic people walking around
(and when Silicon Valley/SF finally meets LA, it always has to be somehow bad news -
why can't the 2 metropoli just get along?)
Cloak & Dagger misconduct claims include Thomas Middleditch - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

In reply to We are not like Japan.

We also had birth control in the 60s to free women, and by the 2000s an epidemic of constrained single mothers - somehow that freedom didn't work out, including the abortion pill that got hobbled at the pharmacy/halls of Congress.

We are not like Japan.

We are not like Japan. Hikikomori is sort of like incels, white privilege is sort of like primogeniture, and sexless youth is sort of a thing like there.

However, this country had teen movies like American Pie, The Girl Next Door, etc. that literally seemed to push the idea of a sexual deadline for youth. People mocked abstinence education and engaged in "the hookup culture."

Now scores of the male idols of that era - including Al Franken, who mocked abstinence education in his books - have been outed as perverts, while women of later in that era, like porn star Mia Khalifa, have publicly regretted what they engaged in.

Japanese are obsessed with balance and order and their long lasting lack of significant population growth likely has more to do with that. This is the result of American society behaving like a strung out rock star. Like a rock star who has quit drugs but is still talking about and thinking about them, America is doing the exact same in regards to sex.

Japanese also have social restrictions that are so tight and clear that it may be constricting, but here we have been largely so unprepared for social problems, believing that we were the greatest and powerful country in the world, that when problems showed up, people just literally stopped talking to one another.

And, if anything, we may be witnessing the reverse of a revolution that was not always normative:

There also was sexual liberation, which had something to do with women liberating themselves in the bedroom, too, but had as much to do with loosening norms around sex. In 1960, half of 19-year-old women who were unmarried had not yet had sex. By the late 1980s, as Nancy Cohen pointed out, two-thirds of all women had done the deed by age 18.
