Most modern women’s “men no longer do X” complaints boil down to one blunt truth: there’s no longer any reason to. In many respects, women have no one to blame but themselves. But we all know that’s the one thing they’ll never do.
Women set the standards for sex, men meet them. If in order to obtain sex, men must marry a women, or become pillars of the community, or lie, or amass riches, or be romantic or funny, then they will do precisely that. If men need to simply be in the right place at the right time at 3am in a nightclub, then they will meet these standards appropriately.

I understand his point, but I think it is only right to a limited extent. His explanation implies you can make sex infinitely expensive - that men are infinitely adaptable to any demand or price point and will meet that regardless just so they can fuck a wet hole. Problem is, if that were true we wouldn't have sayings like "the juice just isn't worth the squeeze" - a man determining that even though he probably could sleep with the woman, that she is too much hassle and suffering to be worth the effort. I also think it is a bit cynical of him to suggest the only reason men take on leadership roles (like being community leaders) is because they want to get laid. In a weird sense he is just reducing men to their sex drives. I am not articulating this in the best way possible, but I think it is a very ugly way of looking at men, though of course, I know everything he produces is done so with the intention of maximising engagement, not producing a rigorously nuanced philosophical treatise on the topic.

[Half the reason I posted that was to give him a cheeky little wink, just enough to let him know at least 1 person on here knows he blatantly plagiarized those sentences lol]

I think there always have been and always will be guys who do anything for pussy. For them, they foolishly believe it is the final destination. But I also think we’re in the early stages of a rising cohort of men who are charting a new course where no woman will be able to “pay her way in” with her body. These men will gladly let her go, they will not “adapt,” because they are so enthralled with their primary mission it won’t matter. Many other higher-quality women would fight for a place at his side.

Somewhat analogously, you could generalize "if having a college degree is mandatory for entry-level work, everyone will get a college degree" and be broadly correct, but it elides over some percentage of people who won't, and some who will try, fail and drop out of the workforce.

If you look at J.D. Unwin (Sex and Culture) his hypothesis is that strict monogamy and limited access basically redirects male energy into accomplishment in order to get a wife, and then to provide for her (and Unwin basically says the lack of this causes society to collapse). I think this is basically right and the net effect of the current state of things is to lose a lot (the vast majority) of potential value because there's no reason to work really hard.
