Nah, I say we life in a pretty unique era. In the past you could just rape a woman if you really wanted to. There weren't any forensics, no way for the cops to tell if it was really you. You may not have any children, but at least you wouldn't obsess over sex as much as today's incels do. Today is the only time where finding a woman is pretty much hopeless and is forced to ldar.
The media convinced you me that getting sex would be easy. I used to think that all I had to do was exist and some woman would fall for me. That was obviously wrong. Now what I am wondering is if this was a lie, or has society changed so much in the past 20 years. Maybe those movies were telling the truth, but the rise of the internet and social media made it easier for girls to ignore the average man.
