* '''Late marriage and no enforced monogamy''': The age of marriage is very late in many Western countries because of [[feminism]] and economic stagnation. This means nobody enforces monogamy until the late 20s or early 30s, and the result is a more feral dating landscape that [[life history|r-strategists]] heavily exploit and which does not cater to people who are rather interested in long-term [[relationship]]s ([[life history|k-strategists]]). | * '''Late marriage and no enforced monogamy''': The age of marriage is very late in many Western countries because of [[feminism]] and economic stagnation.

* '''Decline of communities''': Closely related to the decline of religion, enforced monogamy and arranged marriage, communities have suffered in recent years with loneliness rates skyrocketing. Today, the majority of couples meet online, followed by in a bar or at a restaurant, and there has been a strong decline in meeting through friends, family, school, work etc.<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Looks_are_most_important_to_women_in_speed_dating</ref> This may increase the importance of extroversion, a personality trait that is 60% genetic,<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-human-beast/201701/do-extraverts-have-more-children</ref> and thereby give rise to [[shy]]cels. | * '''Decline of communities''': Closely related to the decline of religion, enforced monogamy and arranged marriage, communities have suffered in recent years with loneliness rates skyrocketing.

* '''Lack of inter-group competition''' Historically warfare was very common, and in some contemporary hunter gatherer tribes the rate of deaths attributable to violence inter and intra group violence os up to 64% of the entire population in the most violent group examined, the waorani, with their being a higher ratio of male deaths than females.<ref>https://www.pnas.org/content/106/20/8134</ref> The level of intergroup conflict among historical hunter gatherer and subsistence farming peoples historically was also intense, with rates of adult mortality due to warfare reaching up to 46%.<ref>https://science.sciencemag.org/content/324/5932/1293.full?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=&fulltext=Samuel%20Bowles%20of%20the%20Santa%20Fe%20Institute%20in%20New%20Mexico&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=0&resourcetype=HWCIT</ref> This level of conflict was likely even greater in times with harsher climactic conditions, i.e. areas with unfertile soil, periods of global cooling, etc., as the scarcity of food or its high cost in their local area caused groups to migrate and expand towards more fecund territories.<ref>https://www.mdpi.com/2624-8611/1/1/15/htm</ref> This generally high level of intergroup conflict, as well as possibly being relevant for the development of human behaviors such as in-group altruism and ethnocentrism, would have also been expected to reduce the population of adult males regularly every generation. This deficit in the males, with a [[sex ratio]] biased towards women, may have made women (and their families in cultures that practiced arranged marriage) less choosy in terms of the male partners they sought out, especially as women typically lacked economic independence in the past and thus frequently relied on males for resource provision. Intergroup conflict has been largely irrelevant since the second world war in Western countries, as the global US military hegemony and the development of nuclear weapons has made intergroup very costly for large, modernized nations. This historically unusual excess of adult males, combined with high life expectancy rates and low total fertility ratios (resulting in a relative paucity of fertility women, due to an aging population) may result in an operational sex ratio (the ratio of fertile males to fertile females in the population) that is highly unfavorable to men's romantic prospects in Western counties. | |||
