Considering the human relationships are everytime becoming more dense and less spontaneously to happen on western countries (more so the US, Canada, etc), a large majority of males who wont even have the chance to succeed in the dating scene, which means less couples will be made and therefore less children will be born. I think the overuse of internet and media Influence has ruined everything.

I doubt a large majority of guys won't have a chance to succeed in the dating scene as in my experience most guys are having sex, dating, or in relationships and in my opinion the guy that aren't can easily consider mail order brides or foreign gals. I think the Internet and media influence has expanded dating options and likelihood of success rather than a guy hitting on 5 or 10 gals in a day guy can hit on 200 or 1000 gals a day.
The aging population problem is not a demographic phenomena restricted to the Western world...Japan and to some extent Korea have seen this coming for a long time now. Essentially what you have is a generation of elderly people in the 65- and above age range who are relatively healthy but not working, and are costing the state a massive amount in health care. At the same time, the number of younger people having kids is way down, causing a very "top" heavy society, whereby the overworked and overtaxed youth attempt to provide for an ever growing elderly population ad-mist high unemployment and poor wages.
There really is no easy solution-
-One cannot enforce marrying and reproduction at a young age because the youth want sexual and romantic freedom.
-Traditional societies with high birth rates also face a myriad of economic issues and tend towards the patriarchal, curbing the rights of women. Going back to such a society would be impossible at this point.
-The elderly have worked all their lives to receive their retirement benefits and cutting them just to balance the budget would be highly unethical.
No, the populations in the West are becoming darker. Have you heard of the Browning of America? Various shades of brown is what the populations will be.

Dang white people bake in the sun so much being tan will lower the rate of sun cancer a bit lol
I don't think the population will be going down anytime soon in the United States. I think currently, the US has a population of around 315,000,000. Sometime between 2040-2050, that number is expected to jump to around 450,000,000. By 2100, it's suppoused to be somewhere between 500,000,000 and 600,000,000. In the 2000 census, the US had a little under 300,000,000. Also I read an article that said the US could have a population of 1 billion by 2100.
^The article above was from 2008, and I don't know if the chances are realistic that the US would be able to reach that population by 2100. That would mean the US population grew by 700,000,000 people from the 2000 census, to the 2100 census.
^This article estimates the US population at around 478,000,000. I think that's a bit low. The population of the US at the time of the 2010 census was around 308,000,000. By 2012, the estimates already say around 315,000,000. That's an increase of 7 million people in 2 years. So if per year the US population were to grow 3.5 million people, the population would be over 600,000,000 by 2100, but nowhere near 1 billion people. I think the area between 500,000,000 and 600,000,000 is most likely.
The population of Europe is expected to decline by a pretty large number of people by 2100. Countries like the UK and France will grow, but that is mainly due to immigration. In most majority white countries, the birth rates among white women(in the US non-hispanic white women) are already pretty low, and are generally expected to keep declining. The birth rates among immigrants and minorities in the Western countries are higher. Though the hispanic birth rates have dropped somewhat from their high points in the United States, they still far outpace non-hispanic white and black birth rates. The black population is expected to grow very little between now and 2050, after that I don't know whats suppoused to happen with the black birth rates. Right now there are around 40,000,000 black americans. By 2050 that is suppoused to be up to around 60,000,000. As a percentage, they would increase from around 13% to around 15%. That's not really a large change. Asians are suppoused to go from 4-5% now, to around 9-10% then. Hispanics right now are at 16% of the population, they're suppoused to almost double by 2050. The non-hispanic white population is projected to decrease from 63-65%, to around 45% by 2050, maybe even a little lower. This is not even factoring in mixed race individuals.
Really what this means is that countries like the United States, the UK, France, Australia, and other westernized nations will become far more mixed. By the middle of this century, I think race is going to become much less relevant than it is today. The US will truely be a mixed country, and not just a melting pot where everybody sticks to their own race or ethnic groups.
The one thing with demographic data and projections, is that it can change dramatically. Nobody can predict what kind of world events will take place. Generally most countries have already seen their peak birth rates, and have declined since those peaks. Even the fastest growing countries. However, nobody knows if that trend will continue. Eventually birth rates could start going up again in European countries like Germany, and Asian countries like Japan. Both those countries right now are both projected to see dramatic population decreases from where they are now. Another one is China, currently the most populated country. The birth rates there are already low, theres far more men than women. India will probably overtake them in population within the next 20 years. Theres gonna be a lot of interesting things happening the rest of this century, and a lot of changes.
