Ok, I might think he actually has a point. When I see children walking around with their cellphones and see the amount of time they actually spend at home instead of going to the movies or doing socialising, real socialising, not facebook or twitter or games....that has to have an effect on them.

When I grew up we had games too, like those 16 bit consoles etc, but people still went out a lot more, people went to the movies, there were no MMO, there were no things like facebook, there were no smartphones....a lot has changed in like a few years time.

Sure. But those behaviours are not particular to guys. In fact, I'm willing to bet girls spend much more time on social media and have hobbies much more void and nonstimulating than gaming. I have never really seen conclusive proof that women do better at school as well. As far as I can see, much more men than women study hard sciences. Can you really compare a literature or art history major - majors dominated by females - with someone studying theoretical physics or engineering? I think not.

qft^^

It makes me angry that they single males out.  I am an extrovert and have great communication skills (was a bartender through college), and it's frustrating when I decide to go out and socialize bars/nightclubs and I leave my phone in the car only to see girls with thier faces down at an Iphones totally being anti-social.  I even see this shit on the dancefloor... WTF?  It's a total joke.  I don't even know why I waste money to go out anymore, it's just a total downer.  (then I go home sad and look at porn and fap lol)

Oh and about the porn, guys have always like porn.  It wasn't like it was invented yesterday, gimme a break.
