I was watching Bill Maher's show the other night. Politics aside, I do find some of his humor regarding the state of society to be funny and insightful. In any event, he mentioned several recent polls, centered mainly on Gen Z men (born 1997-2010, some sources say 2012, the first "digital-native" generation--born and raised in the Information Age, immersed in cell phones and social media ), which don't seem to bode well for the future.

45% of men 18-25 had never approached a woman in person. (I assume this means "chatted up" a female or asking a girl for a date)

44% of Gen Z men report having no relationship experience at all during their teen years

In the year 2022-23, 24% of men aged 22-34 said they had zero sexual activity
