Why are there so many "failure-to-Launch Young Men" .. . .? . . .select the most likely reason . ..

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

So it is too late for any changes . . . the end is too close . . . Hmmmmm . . . just party down and forget the rest . . .

So who is setting the agenda for TV, etc. and Why?

Its changing and impacting both males and females, leading to weight issues, cancer, infertility and more, however, I think it is impacting the male 'drive' as per your poll questions. Do guys spend much more time on video games, than girls, generally I see that in my family. If you're interested in reading more, Wikipedia has some statistics on EDC's lowering testosterone levels, fertility levels and even creating low blood sugar, which impacts energy and drive.

Follow the money.

So you feel that morals are not taught in the public school system? But if so why are boys more effected??

because we know we can wait until we get older since there will be a bunch of rich single ladies waiting to be swept off their feet by a handsome slightly younger man.

Socialism is stupid. If the government offers something without too many strings, I'll take it because I can. It's punishing the government for their own stupidity. I can earn as much as I choose to any time I want, and I have in the past. No I no longer need to.

I'll still take all I can in order to keep the system in line. They need to stop with the handouts. Now just imagine an entire country just like me.

That's why socialism is stupid - like feminism. It's inefficient and encourages good men to be lazy fucks that take advantage any time we can.

When there's a reason to succeed, we can do so easily, but don't play us, or we'll play you back unmercifully.

define "failure-to-launch young men" plz

Thanks!!! . . . I am sure there is some good research out there . . . I will eventually get around to it . . . my purpose was to get a feeling from this poll what people felt . . . seems obvious this is a hot topic . . . people are very opinionated about and emotional about this issue . . . it is a very obvious trend and is getting very troubling . . . This may have survival issues involved . . .

Baby boomer sacks of shit.

Hollywood wants your boys to be useless . . . why?

Maybe they just no longer buy into this fucked up system.

George B., great post!

Serious question for you: Do you love smilies and you always seem to include an unrelated smilie to each post!

I know I don't.

Hear, Hear!

I would think parenting plays a role at some point. There's no way, if my Dad had a son, that he'd be one of these "failure-to launch" young men. Work ethic starts early.

It means they are living in their parent's basement (or something like the basement) instead of living on their own and are not employed or are under employed because of a lack of motivation or fear of failure . . . they may or may not have a girlfriend and have no ambition or desire to get married and start a family of their own . . . etc. . . .

The orient does not eat it like some over here do. And soy has pyroestrogen.

So why in greater numbers than girls????

Things are absolutely hopeless for men. Even the "successful" ones.

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.

LOL...I was a late launcher. I was 30 before I left home, heck, I was 27 before I lost my virginity...

Now I am happy, healthy, wealthy, and married to a model.

Good things come to those who wait.

Soy in Asia is generally fermented, and that makes it safer. Unfortunately, today's soy is mostly GMO, and that may become a death sentence for most of humanity.

Yes, I think they are great . . . obviously . . . :144:

Because they get pregnant and are forced to raise the child alone. Nothing motivates like a crying infant.

Maybe these guys are doing better than to succumb to social whims expecting them to be married, drive, have kid/s by the age of 30 like it's some kind of unwritten law.

Fuck that, i'd rather be single and drinking or gaming 24/7 than putting myself out there all hours of the day for a brat sucking on its mums tit.

Boys are more affected in every aspect. Starting with the majority of boys having no father/male role model at home. Schools expected to parent because mom's working due to no male at home. Couples allowed to file for divorce so easily leaving kids with no male in the home. See a pattern? It all comes down to fatherless homes. Girls follow their "do-it-all" mothers footsteps...boys grow up witnessing the women doing it all. Where does that leave them? Modern men don't know how to father, don't know how to take care of themselves, and expect the women to do it all just like they saw their mother do. Vicious cycle.

The whole system is a scam.

People spend their whole lives running on a treadmill, paying into a system that ultimately fucks them to keep the sociopaths in power and opulence.

More often than not they simply cannot handle the stresses of life these days which points to varying degress of coping ability and dealing with mental issues.

Too fucking bad! Never surrender and demand that you always succeed.
