I think you hit on many of the reasons which are attributed to men having "less sex". (I put it in quotes because I believe there are two problems, less sex and less companionship. And the two are slightly different) I just don't see this or any other reality show being a good sample of anything really. I especially wouldn't say most men are like the examples mentioned. There are large scale dynamics at play when it comes to the whole "lonely men" problem. Yes woman's independence is involved, of course the transition to (disposable) online dating is involved. More awareness of inappropriate behavior's. All of these play a role. Unfortunately at our cores though, men and women instinctively are hard wired to have different desires when it comes to romance. Women in general, over all simply do not crave sex as much as Men. Outliers aside. I believe this is a problem that we might never be able to "fix" completely. But I also believe it is a huge driver of today's issues. Men (in general) just simply want to have sex, and just sex, more, and it very much leaves us at an impasse. Think about it, what is a person who craves sex at a higher clip going to tend to do. They are bound to take relationships less serious as it would simply be impossible to keep getting into whole relationships when all you really want is sex. Now as a man, I will admit that this is bad, but at the same time it's in our nature and drives a large portion of men towards bad behavior's. All of this is happening while the sex (females) which puts much less value in sex (by value I mean want it less than men do generally) is reaching a place where they have a lot more power to say no, and yea, a perfect storm develops. Ultimately, I think this will only devolve in to a major boom in sex for hire as many woman will see the financial opportunity and take it, and many men will need it. Similar to what is happening in Japan. I think it's sad, mainly because I know that at the root of this problem is our naturally evolved differences as men and women. And unless we find a way to change that with a chemical change in our brains or something similar, this problem ain't going away.
