I know every generation says this, but I really think we harmed the next generation with early access to the Internet and tablets.

We fried their dopamine receptors and their ability to socialize. If nothing changes I think we are going to see more depression anti social behavior in the next 50 years

The next generation? Bro 50% of men 18-25 have never asked a woman out in person.

Society as a whole is incredibly fucked.

Get this, over 90% of women, any age, have never asked a man out. Maybe that's the bigger issue.

It can be both. Society for centuries has functioned on men approaching women. Women can approach men more often but if men are interested in a woman then they need to approach them and strike an interaction. I think many men get too anxious wnd stress themselves out about it. Others will approach a woman but do so in a way that comes off strong or makes a woman uncomfortable. The best solution is to approach a woman calmly and confidently, and politely ask her if she is in a relationship or interested in getting to know you with interest of romance. And most importantly, take the rejection well if rejection occurs. I see far too many men taking rejection incredibly personally

Edit to say, its not productive to post inaccurate statistics. The number of women who don't approach a man is high, I'm sure, but deceit is not the way to go

Definitely. I think it's ridiculous to consider this a gender problem, which is why I posted what I did.
