In a nutshell, I would define it as failure to take responsibility incumbent upon a man. Or another meaning might be: Can't get it up. LOL ;) Actually, it means to get laid early and often by a HOT girl, and very little more. That's the prime directive. Smart guys will avoid allowing a girl to get pregnant, and will game the system to death. Of course, having a place of your own - or finding a way to bum a free ride off a girl, is necessary. It's also necessary to live away from parents or relatives, and never with another guy - too gay looking. |

Things are absolutely hopeless for men. Even the "successful" ones. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31804933 Let's see... I'd say most men have completely given up on life in general and do anything to escape, because there literally is no other option. Seriously, what the fuck is the point in even trying? Either you try and fail, feel low about yourself, depressed...slowly go insane. Or you play video games or do drugs to escape. They are really the only two options I can see. If you do become "successful" you make lots of money to keep some bitch interested for a while until the money dries up or she finds someone better and she leaves with half of your shit. And deep down, why should the woman care? If the money isn't coming in like she expected it to, she can just flash her tits at some bar and get whatever or whoever she wants. There's always something better. Yeah, she probably has a much higher paying job than the guys that pick up on her, but they'll buy her drinks for the whole night anyway, just because. And of course, princess has been raised as a princess, so free gifts all night is to be expected. Meanwhile, guys that do try for a while in this shit system end up getting shit all over. The days of one man paying all the bills and still having enough cash left over for recreation is over. That's what's called "rich" in today's society. Men can contribute some cash, but overall, they really aren't totally necessary anymore. Brains are certainly looked down upon but as long as the guy is a hardass gangsta and has a shit load of cash, the pussy flows like wine. How many guys with actual degrees are unemployed? Shit they may be the most creative motherfuckers in the world, but they're unemployed and to most people that makes them losers and worthless. Fuck this shit fucking society. I fucking give up. If that makes me a coward, then I guess I'm a coward. Call me whatever the fuck you want. From now I take care of me and only me. I escape as much as possible. And fuck relationships. I'd be committing the most heinous of crimes against humanity if I brought a poor kid into the fucked up hell of a world. Wow!!!

You forgot the most important reason: No father present. Thus, they subconsciously turn to other male role models, and that's when you get undue influence from cultural icons and other "unsavory" types. Quoting: John Cocktosen REAL MEN don't need a role model. They evaluate the culture from scratch in light of their needs and wants, and then formulate a plan to get their needs and wants met. REAL MEN don't have a pack mentality, like hungry dogs. They are more like a wolf, or a lion. Stalk the prey, set the trap, and pounce. Show no mercy. That's for later when you have acquired all you wish. SOME fathers are important, but moreso for daughters. Yes, fathers are very important for daughters, too. Very. But they're at least as important for sons. Nearly everything that's wrong with our society culturally can find its roots in the shortcoming of the family unit. The question is: Has this trend been perpetrated by design? And that's not at all to say that a boy or girl who grows up without a father can't and won't become perfectly good, responsible, loving, well-adjusted adults. Of course they can and do all the time. It's just that without a father, it makes a difficult road a little more difficult. The Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through the Van Allen Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. Tip the butler.

Look for it next time you watch tv I really do agree with you observation . . . why do you think this is . . . ??? Have you noticed growing up as a kid how most of your peers acted exactly like the tv familys eg( the cosby show, growing pains, ect) The tv tells you how to act, how to dress ,whats cool,values Its the status quo and everyone follows The only sitcom worth watching in the old days was "Married With Children". It was an equal opportunity show where the girls were as stupid and dumb as the guys, and nobody gave lip service to guilt or shame. They did what they felt like and dealt with the consequences. |

Your list shows how little people understand what is going on because you missed the only legitimate reason. When society is completely wrong the only way to be right is to turn your back on society. THAT is what is driving young men towards apathy and lack of action. They realize that any action taken within the system is just going to help build up the corruption and push us further in the direction of NWO. Many may not even realize this exactly... they simply see aspects of society which they are disgusted by which leads them to simply not take part. It isn't cowardice... it's the bravery. It's having the courage to take your own path while everyone tells you that you're wrong and everything wrong with the world. Society is collective attacking heterosexuals, whites, and men... it is only natural for members of all three of these groups to turn their backs on society.

Very close to that "will-you-still-need-me" birthday, and with my own sons in their twenties not rushing things, I hardly feel inclined to blame them, and am pleasantly surprised to endorse the current top three as the main causes, from those on offer for consideration for our present global malaise. Note that all of these top three can be seen as triggers for righteous anger, since all imply failures of leadership (at the least.) Am I wrong, or is Feminism up at no.4 in our poll? I hope not, for I would be unhappy to see "righteous anger" being deployed by opponents of Feminism. To me, that would be a pathetic, embarrassing spectacle. Then again, I do blame Feminism for the popularisation of oral lovemaking amongst the bravely unhip heterosexual community. Also, there is empirical proof in today's Daily Mail that women continue to neglect their own most pressing personal concerns, to the benefit, presumably of those around them in that four out of five of them continue to wear the wrong size bra. Now when I was young And feminism was just kicking off, those were the days of bra-burning. My mother- in-law, a magnificently endowed woman, whose name anagrammatised to "Comely Bosoms" or very similar, used to have a great postcard of that, a woman burning her bra, in her kitchen for years and years. Anyway, so, yes, times are tough, but the important thing is to try and find out exactly what is the nature of the parasite that has infected and corrupted our human perception, cultures and societies, contain and isolate the parasites that urge us to waste our happiness and health in continuous wars and slavery to the redemption of unplayable, fraudulent debts, and free ourselves as common human beings from the tyranny of the less-than-onepercent. |

Maybe it's because they don't have a role to fulfill anymore...one day, I was sitting in a waiting room at an airport and I was people watching. I noticed alot of young men there and this thought occurred to me. Men, in the past, had a role to play. Be it the hunter, provider or protector, he was it. In our society today, it's not necessary anymore. Maybe that's why there's so many failure to launch young men? It made me sad to think that, but my opinion hasn't changed much in the 10 years since I first had the thought. We have to change that...men have an important role to play as well as women. They are essential to the balance of life. |
