Porn is a trap.

So is modern marriage.

Men shouldn't be blamed any more than women. Both genders are at fault for trying to objectify and use one another. Men objectify sex. Women objectify men's earning potential. Time to stop that.

Give me a break.

Unlike the "men" of your time OP, I see the rat race for what it truly is. Organized slave labor under the guise of "societal norms" and "patriotism".

The difference between the "men" of your era and the "men" of mine is that my generation is the most informed generation in all recorded human history.

The truth can be depressing, but it's also liberating.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9788321


Yes, as a young man I can relate to those feelings. I'm very skeptical of our society and I feel my feelings are dismissed most of the time as being 'negative.' If anything I'm just trying to be constructive and find a way to live and think the right way without sacrificing the truth in the process. I was also raised by a single Mother, so the whole 'becoming a man' thing has always been difficult. I had no real role models or men to look up to. I also was distracted and alienated by the computer games and lost a lot of meaningful relationships with others in the process. I replaced real people with online friends whom didn't last either. I became a better communicator with words too, which was really frustrating when it came to real life situations where I'd have the perfect answer after the fact. I feel like my brain engages itself more appropriately for my age when my hands start hitting keys.

Anyway, I do think I have quite a voice for our generation and would love to mentor kids younger than me on the pit falls of gaming and technology. I really want to protect my little cousins from the isolate and loneliness I brought upon myself.

Besides women don't need us. On average they get paid more now and are more educated. I'm selfish because I do what I love? I'm childish? Women need to grow the fuck up. This is equality bitches, this is what it looks like. Men don't dream of working all day to have it wasted by some materialistic bitch who has a worn out vagina from college. That's not our fantasy, that's the woman's fantasy. Women need to grow up and stop dreaming that they are princesses.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21160675


This.

Our society has been programmed to make men think they need to be workhorses to have a wife or family.

Women want to have their cake and eat it too.



The single biggest contributing factor to the downfall of young men in developing countries is feminism and how women feel entitled to have EVERYTHING.



There is a reason why up until this last century, that men controlled everything. It's the way human beings are designed.

Feminism and empowered women are not natural and destroying the human race.

Women = Moms + Housekeepers

Men = Providers



But now, women demand BOTH. They demand you act like a workhorse, so they can spend all your money. Also, they want to work to make their own, but not share it with their husbands because it's "their money" that "they worked for". Beyond that, not having moms around have led to a generation without parents, because both parents work.


Part of THAT problem though, is our taxes on corporations and businesses that has led to all of our jobs moving overseas so the companies could post larger profits at the expense of leaving an entire generation of Americans without manufacturing jobs.

Op this blade's got two edges, the young women of this generation are equivalently damaged. Gender-role reversal as perpetrated by the media has fucked up the heads of young men and women today. The future looks grim for us all. Don't worry, I think it's all a part of TPTB's agenda to cause as much damage and chaos as possible before a new era of goodness and healing begins. Hopefully we can repair all these damaged brains and hearts before it's too late.

Really? Gender reversal will do us in? Not unexpected oil shortages, nuclear/antimatter bombs, wars, urban sprawl, environmental damage, destruction of biological food chains, etc etc.

Nobody. Many of our schools today don't play competitive games because so many of the kids just can't deal with the idea of losing. I had one boy flip out today because he wasn't the first to answer a question and attacked another student (Aspergers). Man, people have to teach their children that they can't always be first or perfect and to graciously accept defeats and wins. If a person can't handle coming in second or losing, he might as well hang it up.

I guess the solutoion would be women going back home, being submissive "virgins" so that utopia can come back again? jerkit

Porn is fucked up poison you got that right, but facing the threat of "feminism" men got into it thinking it would give them the manly upperhand but shit backfired. Sex is serious business so you cannot bastardize it or use it as power against others and not face the consequences. But before porn, there was and still is religious or patriarchal misogynistic ideologies to fill that male ego.

Men are victims or their own fucking egos, they build themselves on the back of someone else and when their house of cards crumble, it's the end of the world.

Fortunately, the end of this civilization it is indeed. This system has reached the bottom and the lies are being exposed.

There's no harmony without true love and true love has NEVER been between the men and women of this world.

Re: 22 Stats That Prove That There Is Something Seriously Wrong With Young Men In America
It is just easier to porn it and not got involved in the drama of being in a relationship these days. I have dated some women that have this same exact mentality, so it's not just men.

Both sexes are very selfish these days, and I am talking about the 30-45 age group today here in the U.S. I have no clue about the kids under 30 if they are dealing with this crap. Everything is texting...no one wants to really communicate. Every relationship is too much work and I feel like I have to constantly entertain...which costs $$$ and is work! Marriage is work too! F-that!

I was the most generous, unselfish person back when I was married. And then, I got divorced, have no disposable income bc child support is 40%, and I am bitter about the system. So, like a lot of single good young men in their 30's, I have decided take myself out of the equation off the market. Drives the women I know crazy because I am very good looking, but decide to not engage with them. Sure it is difficult sometimes, but I don't worry about STD's, pregnancies (being trapped- whole also story), manipulation, or dull sex having to wear a condom.

Good rant, uh?

Re: 22 Stats That Prove That There Is Something Seriously Wrong With Young Men In America
Marriage it a totally BAD DEAL FOR MEN anymore ... so it is GOOD that young men are avoiding it like the plague.

*50% of all marriages end in Divorce (60% for younger people).

*70% of all divorces are filed by women (and probably 1/2 of those filed by men are because their lives are a living hell)

*70% of ALL Married Women have had AFFAIRS (per the latest surveys - not the old surveys) ... which means that VIRTUALLY ALL Average to Above Average Married Women HAVE ALREADY SLEPT AROUND ON THEIR HUSBAND.

*When a Divorce does occure the woman virtually always get the children and the men are literally kicked out of their lives. Man doesn't keep up with child support, even if because of a lost job etc., THE MAN GOES TO JAIL. The Woman intentionally does NOT LET THE FATHER SEE THE KIDS? ... OH WELL ... that's OK.

*Divorce because of woman sleeping around (no matter who files)? Woman still gets 1/2 of the assets, plus if it is 10 years generally GETS PAID ONGOING PAYMENTS TOO (so he keeps paying her to sleep around to her heart's content).

*Cuckholded and bastard childrem? Most states the Married Male STILL HAS TO PAY until the child is 18 even though the child is the offspring of another man even though the Woman LIED about who the father was.

The deck is now so tilted again Middle Class Men that THEY SHOULD AVOID MARRIAGE UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES.

I have told both of my middle class successful sons that they are FOOLS to EVER marry in today's environment. They will be screwed over FOR LIFE if they do based upon both the current laws and the current sleep around mindset of todays' "Modern Women".

Re: 22 Stats That Prove That There Is Something Seriously Wrong With Young Men In America
So, was this written by some woman in her late 20's with 2 cats, an aging body and no serious relationship on the horizon?

I'm not saying this applies to all women out there, but the majority of them don't have any class these days and wonder why we (men) don't want them as wives. The females who generalize and say there are no good men out there are the same ones that post 300 pictures on Facebook of their tits and then wonder why we only want them for sex. I'm 31 and living comfortably off a business I've spent the last decade building up; I'm not compromising my freedom by getting married to some chick that doesn't have any respect for herself. Maybe that makes me "old fashioned", but is that not the same standard as a woman who says there's something wrong with men these days?

In my experience, women want the perfect man that meets each and every expectation while men are more practical - we want an attractive girl that we get along with that simply hasn't had 28 dicks inside her already. Is that asking so much?
