You still haven't done anything other than make nonsensical assertions.
You have no evidence that "strong relationships" remain. Divorce rate is at an all time high. Something like 70% over a 40 year marriage. Are 40 year marriages strong? Because 70% of them fail to get that far.
How can you tell that "people who would not be happy in a relationship" are no longer seeking them? Do you have a secret test or method that looks into the future to judge total possible happiness? Or is your assertion meaningless and without any kind of basis? I am thinking the second one.
So no only are you confusing correlation with causation, you are making claims for which there is no possible proof or even fucking supporting evidence!
So lets count your logical fallacies, shall we?
Ad hoc post ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore because of this): You conclude that Men Use Porn, therefore they Are not seeking relationships. A causal link.
Non sequitur (it does not follow): Strong relationships are unaffected by porn. Fucking prove it, mate.
Non sequitur (it does not follow): "People who would not be happy in a relationship no longer seek them." Is that an axiom? A religious belief? What possible evidence could prove or disprove this statement? It is not even wrong!
I mean, I am sympathetic that you have an untestable hypothesis as an attempt to explain social ills and the decline of committed relationships. I am just surprised at the utter confusion of thinking that has lead you to such a conclusion.
I especially like the way you casually throw all the blame for the current situation on porn-addicted men who "would not be happy in a relationship". This is a very special blend of Social Darwinism and blaming men. I mean, there is no point in addressing the situation if those guys would never be happy anyway.
Oh, and bonus points for being rude. Well done guy! If you are failing to bring any facts to a discussion, always get insulting. It will be sure to grant victory! Well done! I mean, what kind of fucker asks you to actually justify your claims with facts or logic? Am I rite?
Men Use Porn, therefore they Are not seeking relationships
again, I don't know how many times I have to tell you, I never said this. porn usage satisfies our primal urge to mate, which is only one of the things that drives people to pursue relationships. A need for companionship as well as a desire to start and maintain a family cannot be satisfied by porn. people are still pursuing relationships, and my argument is that that pursuit is now coming from a place of seeking a real relationship, and not just a soft place to put your dick. the kinds of people who would seek a relationship just for sexual gratification, but do not want companionship or a family, are now being satisfied through other means.
Strong Relationships are unaffected by porn
This is my personal observation being third party to several relationships. quantifying relationships is difficult, I can only report on what I observe.
People who would not be happy in a relationship no longer seek them
to elaborate, relationships are not for everyone. most people in this world do desire companionship and a family, but a sizable chunk do not and that is okay. for these people, sexual lust can drive them to pursue a relationship because their body needs to relieve tension. in my experience, relationships formed through sexual lust exclusively are doomed to either fail or be miserable. the proliferation of porn has allowed people to relieve sexual tension and think clearly, thus avoiding making a lifelong commitment that they did not want to make in the first place.
Press X to doubt.
