I think people are just more inherently mean these days due to social media and there are so many ways to figure out how others view you which lowers peoples confidence.
I guess ugly people have feelings too?
Any theories as to why this affects young men more than young women? If you dig into the numbers from the article, the percentage of non-sexually-active men in the younger cohort is 25 per cent vs 5 per cent for the younger women (and 10 per cent for young men 20 years ago).
Looks to me like the real story is that an increasing number of young men (mostly low-status young men) are dropping out of the dating and mating game altogether.

Sounds like there's never been a better time to be a young man. If you like sex that is.

It's a lot harder for a guy to get laid?
Yes, Yes, everyone freak out, I just said it's harder for guys to get laid then girls. Cue hysteria.

I remember reading that Tinder has actually causes a decrease in sexual partners for younger people as people can get the emotional and social connection from home.
This leads to less end of night hookups or emotionally damaged hookups.
If you are a college-educated man who doesn't look like an ogre, and you live in a place like Ottawa with a very ratio of similar-type women, then you will do exceptionally well.

Why is it much harder for younger guys to get laid today than it was 20 years ago? And why is that difference greater for young men today than the difference between young women 20 years ago and today?

Well, it is a problem best understood in segments. I have a friend who has a full head of hair, an MBA, and a sociopath's demeanor. In his own words, he "crushes the puss."
If you just have your GED, have consistently been under-employed, are of average appearance, then yes, your options have probably become even more constrained.
I can't help but think every generation thinks that they are growing up in an era that is more difficult to get laid. In my day, it was the AIDS scare, now it seems like a lack of actual human interaction. I can only assume Pokeman Go will lead to even less sex, that is, until it is adapted/modified to act as a hook up app.

I think a lot of young males are living at home with their parents for longer and from personal experience that made it almost impossible to get laid without putting in the ground work for a relationship. Also I think it's harder to impress these days and more expensive to do so.

Maybe it is harder to impress because you live with your parents.

Oh impressing is out the window when you still live with your parents unless you're under 23. But even moved out it's more expensive and more difficult to do so.
A genuinely fun date that lasts an entire evening and not just a dinner and a movie can easily cost well over $100.
No it's true, it is one of the things I liked about your wife.
Damn, you beat me to it.
The joke, I mean, not Peter12's wife.
... I'm pretty sure I got there first.
