It has been an education for me reading threads like this in recent years. Thank God I was born when I was.
I spent seven years shagging my way through Sixth Form and University in the seventies before settling down with 'the one'. Back then the level of ‘promiscuity’ was probably very much lower than now, but losing that status, for both sexes, was so much more straightforward than it now appears to be.
We went to pubs, clubs and in particular student parties. Every weekend you could find many parties to choose from. We had no social media. The mobile phone was something from Star Trek. Few of us even had cars but we socialised 'in person' and generally in large social circles and had great fun. I worked hard and played hard.
Would never in a million years have considered my sex life wholly or partly involving prostitution. Personally I find it very worrying that way of life appears lost, if indeed that is the case?
It's still possible to do in university and college I reckon but way harder with the progression of social media turning everyone into narcissists. Outside of Uni and going through the motions of the working world, it's still possible but you won't really get the attractive girls as easily as one could in university, unless you have way more money than "game". Now it's all about appearances and what you "show" but that is depending on what type of woman one is after. If you are after an average girl I reckon it's probably easy if she thinks you are "above her". Not sure how to word it other than straight hypergamous behaviour from women. For average guys though, it's a nightmare. It's just a pursuit of diminishing returns to be fair, there's just is not as much free time to chase as there was when in university. Plus, there are pretty girls are now selling pussy through onlyfans, SA or AW....so imagine going through all the motions of chasing the woman only to find out guys have access to her for a fee either online through onlyfans or the physical means like SA or AW getting piped by punters, priceless

I remember trying to explain the effects of social media had on gender dynamics on a really old thread and Mace has said the same thing before and some posters did not quite get was we was on about a long time ago, but now with more young members confirming this, we don't seem like mad men after all
. I think that if one is trying to get a girlfriend it is possible with hard work but would not be worth it. To have the access the to sex that pretty girls have, in otherwords having sex at their fingertips.... a guy would have to have a lot of social "clout", money or pay for sex directly. When you are older trying to talk your way into sex just is not as efficient as paying or being "known". There's always a downpayment made to get sex, and time is too costly; for me anyway. I remember a guy I used to work with a long time ago that actually got girls the normal way outside of uni and he was always tired, pulling girls for him was like a full time job. That's how I feel in London anyway. Perhaps in cities outside of London it is easier, I know people are much friendly outside of london, although the effects of social media are pernicious so I may be wrong to an extent regarding friendliness.
