What's even the point of life? To live, survive, reproduce? That urge to reproduce only really exists because it has to, though. All of the people that didn't want to reproduce just didn't, and only the genes and will of the reproducers survive... so reproduction is sort of meaningless, and so is our want for it.
When I think about the past, even in the realm of the last few centuries, I think that maybe it's not so bad. I realize that suffering is relative, and that our brains are programmed to crave intimacy and love, but I can't help but feel grateful that I wasn't born as a medieval peasant, or a little Victorian baby that died of tuberculosis, or a scared little Asian being trapped and starved in their own settlement by Mongol hordes waiting outside as they catapult disease-riddled, burning corpses of the attempted escapees into the city. After all, it's not like every man in history reproduced, some sources say only about 40% did, some say even less.
Out of all of the time periods, I think we can at-least recognize that we're fortunate enough to be born in a time period of over-abundance, one where we have the freedom and luxury to vent our issues on a forum. It helps to shift your perspective. We can gorge and feast on delicacies that even emperors could not dream of, experience endless virtual worlds and stories that history's greatest poets could not envision, we can learn about anything at all in more depth than the world's greatest scientists of the past ages through the press of a button.
Sometimes I get all flustered and annoyed with the state of foids. Degeneracy is running rampant... the state of the world seems all topsy-turvy... but ah, hell. In about 10 years AI will make all of this so utterly irrelevant that it's laughable. Some futurists think that immortality will be achieved within the next decade.
It's part of the reason why I don't rope now. The future looks really nuts, actually. AI has only just started to explode. It will have catastrophic effects on every aspect of society, including science and medical technology. I don't doubt we'll achieve anti-aging or reverse aging in the next 20 years at least. And think about copes, mang. Think about what videogames were like 20 years ago. Imagine the copes in 20 years! 16K VR immersive worlds indistinguishable from reality.
I'm holding on hope that this inceldom business doesn't make my life terminally shit forever. Imagine how utterly different the world is going to be in the next few decades. Growth is exponential. The AI revolution will have a wider impact than the industrial revolution. Imagine us all, in 20 years, sunbathing in the virtual tropics, feeling the 'real' hotness of sand on our skin, sun on our faces, and with the company of an AI wife, one that's absolutely indistinguishable from reality, with unconditional love.
Allow me to introduce you to one of my favorite websites. I actually visit this a lot because reading it makes me excited about the future. It's probably one of the only reasons I haven't roped yet, but if the rate of progress is anything like it describes, then things look to be very interesting.

Human paternal and maternal demographic histories: insights from high-resolution Y chromosome and mtDNA sequences - Investigative Genetics
Background Comparisons of maternally-inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and paternally-inherited non-recombining Y chromosome (NRY) variation have provided important insights into the impact of sex-biased processes (such as migration, residence pattern, and so on) on human genetic variation...
