Artificial AI-driven-wife (for example "Geminoid F") with artificial womb would solve the problem.

I’m genuinely concerned that people seriously think this is a _solution_.

Beyond sex, relationships with romantic partners are a complex, rewarding part of the human experience. How did that get lost to some?

You say rewarding, but for a lot of people it's an incomprehensible minefield. I mean where do you even start?

Humans have been working it out for a million years or so, it isn't that difficult.

If someone considers relationships with other people to be an "incomprehensible minefield," then the problem is with them, not the nature of human relationships.

Too many people overthink things, seeing each potential relationship as a puzzle to be solved, or searching for some general purpose sexual algorithm for which they can provide the inputs and recieve sexual or emotional fulfillment, or they expect hostility and deception and treat dating like an interrogation.

And of course some people just don't have empathy for the opposite sex and don't understand social boundaries or cues.

Is it a reasonable position to tell a disabled person who considers a society with no handicap accessibility that the problem is them, not with the nature of society?

Are we talking about disabled people?

I was under the impression we were talking about a general majority of sexually frustrated young men.

At what point does lack of ability to engage socially become a disability? Your statement already acknowledged their difficulties.

For some it’s not easily achieved, so I’d suppose it’s less about dudes thinking “meh, this is more convenient” than dudes thinking “meh, I’m not getting laid anyways”

Don't you think this would make the problem worse?
