  Fuck, and I was just reading Homelessness Is A Housing Problem, and they were talking all about stats and to not buy into intuitive narratives, and low and behold, I have bought into this without looking it up. Guess I should get onto that now.

  (And by reading the book, I mean I use a GlaDOS voice pack from Hugginface using SherpaTTS. What a vibe.)

        No, but it does try to destroy my self-esteem. One could say that is a type of murder.

  Theres definitely a truth to it, younger people are drinking less and less every generation, which takes its toll on bars and to some extent clubs too.

    Isn’t it also because going out nowadays is expensive as hell especially if you live in a big city. Young people working part time aren’t going to waste one month’s salary on one night out. And just hanging outside in public sharing a beer will make a nosy boomer call the cops on you for loitering. So the younger generations have learned how to have fun at home without booze.

      There’s never been a point in my life where going out drinking all night has made financial sense. A meal and a beer at a pub, sure, but bars are expensive. And loud. And cramped.

      The kids are on to something.

        You just have to live in the right city with sufficiently high rates of alcoholism! In Fargo, ND you could get a tall 200 lb+ man proper sloshed over an evening downtown across 5-8 bars for $50 or less as recently as 2019. Not as cheap as drinking at home, but enough that most folks without kids working full-time could do it every other weekend.

        Having fun does not need to make financial sense.

    Drinking less is probably good. I doubt that automatically leads to less dating.

    Well, that’s depressing. Although I understand why, if you’re not socially confident, approaching a woman romantically can feel terrifying.

    I do find it interesting that most young women do want to be approached more, I wasn’t expecting that.

    I also note the study is silent on how many women have approached a man, and I don’t think they even asked the question.

      Depressing? Why? One could choose to live in certain way.
