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

Its because you bitches are worthless. You want a man to be your slave. We don't want that. Life is a lot easier without having to put up with your shit.

^ This!

An ex girlfriend (32, single mom) who I'm very close with, called me up, frantic about her weekend (got with guy 1 on Fri, got with guy 2 on Sat) then told me if I wanted to marry her she would say yes

Seriously!?

I hate all the shows my daughter watches on family channel
They portray all men... young or old as idiots
Its not just kids shows
Most prime time sitcoms do the same thing
All men are shown as dumb idiots and all the women are shown as smart and successfull
WTF....
Look for it next time you watch tv

I'll answer that and I know I'm going to take a lot of flack for it. But women are emotionally stronger than men. Men might be better equipped physically than women, but women are the emotional power houses. Why? because we embrace our emotions, we don't burry them. We learn from early childhood how to deal with them head on. Unlike men who are taught as boys to suppress them. Basically...when going gets tough, the men shut down. The woman find their independent spirit and keep fighting for themselves and their children.

Now with that said, I will also acknowledge the fact that men have been brow beaten to death by society. I.E. the work place, the courts, even their own homes. Many of them have been raised by single mother's and with no father or father figure to show them HOW to be a man, they're left to figure it out on their own or through super heros which is setting them up for failure, as most super heros have super natural powers. Something they do not. Or they will look to male celebrities. Now how much are they going to learn from men who seem to "have it all" and because of this, many of those celebrities have " the world owes me a living" attitude, because they had everything handed to them on a silver platter.

It boils down to this. Why have men become the second class citizens in our Western society? They CONTROL the government! THEY make the laws! What does this tell you?

Being a cool dumb fuck is popular........until the dumb fucks graduate and realize they are worthless pieces of shit that are unemployable....the real problem....parents that suck.

the women these days have no souls.the man brings his gifts to the table ie love respect,loyality,work ethic while the woman in todays terms brings I WANT WANT WANT. if he goes to work and puts in long hours,she is not there at the end of the day to comfort him and provide him rest,she is there demanding things and telling him how much he sucks for being gone all day.so he switches it up and stops working so much so he can spend time with her,then he becomes a no good lazy worthless"all you want is sex" scum bag.....yup your son will be broken soon...

I like this subject and I wish I could express myself further in some sort of academic form for you George but I think I will just take a shot at the poll.

I really do agree with you observation . . . why do you think this is . . . ???

huh? Who are the bitches? Domestic servants normally are called wives.

"Feminists", otherwise known as "Female Supremacists", started with a reasonable goal, such as "equal pay for equal work". The best example of this is piecework, and that was thrown out by the liberal equivalents from the 19th century.

Today, even incompetent old hags like the one in charge of DHS get to pretend competence, yet their only claim to fame is their vagina, shriveled as it may be.

Boys are not allowed or encouraged to excel, and girls are almost forced to. The natural order of things is upside down, and will remain that way until girls get put back in their place through any of a thousand reasons from depression to war. When they get thrown back in the kitchen and bedroom where they belong, it won't be by girlie men - it will be by savage brutish men - probably from outside our country. The price of defying natural law is very high.

Prize testosterone and all it entails, and shun girls that try to be men.

That is quite a leaping presumption you make about ALL women which is just not true.
Having not met this little skank you have conjured up all by yourself in your own mind? Now that's crazy.

I even have the sense after a relationship that was a nightmare not to include ALL MEN in my perceptions cut out any creative reasoning unlike yourself.

It is definitely true women, especially young ones don't understand men at all or relate realistically. I agree with you there as I look back at the mistakes I made about giving a man space and quiet after thinking about a problem all day long.
Even though we both worked all day I had energy to discuss, he didn't, but I didn't understand that.
That is really basic and women don't get it.
Robert Bly said "give a man one sentence or two, more than that he will put a bag over his head and run away".

What you describe sounds like a woman/girl who was either not versed in healthy male/female discourse by her parents and didn't know any better.

But you can't assume everyone in the world is playing out the same script which will end the same way as yours.

The #1 reason is institutionalized mediocrity. Go to a little league baseball tournament, every team gets a trophy whether they finished first or last. Every kid is told he is smart in school no matter how stupid he is. On down the line. They took the Special Olympics spirit and spread it to everyone.

Why aim to be the best at anything when you get just as big a reward for finishing 31st as you do first? It's not worth the effort. To save a few hurt feelings, they destroyed a whole generation. I think they knew what they were doing, it wasn't a mistake.

Men want to fool around before they marry. They deflower and then when they get tired of that shallowness at 26, then they want a virgin.....and then they find all the "nice girls" are taken.

Hmmm.

One can have anything they want......not everything they want.

Yes . . . I agree this is an important issue . . . but why boys being more troubled??

I will take flack from other female posters for this, but the pendulum has swung way too far in the opposite direction and for far too long. Society and this country is crumbling because of it!! AC you paint a grim picture and with misogynistic undertones, but for purposes of this discussion and the grim state we now find ourselves in...I would have to agree with this assessment.

This isn't the 50's. Young men have realized that there is no point in busting their ass to get a high paying job just so a woman can leach off of them.

If a guy can go through life on a low paying job, play video games/do things he wants to and be happy doing it...then more power to him.

I was dating a chick a few months ago who made more $ than I did but fully expected me to pay for our dates, buy her things, etc. It blew me mind and the relationship didn't last too long. Women bring men down. It's a sad reality but it's true.

There is an agenda to emasculate men, and elevate women. Why? So that the women will leave the men. When this happens. The men are further emasculated in the courts. Now they have lost both their wives and their children. A man is wired to be the provider and the protector. When this is stripped away from him, what is left? Whenever a village is attacked in a war or battle, who do the attackers go for first? They kill the men first, because the men are going to protect their wives and children. If a couple is attacked, the man dies first, so that the attacker can have his way with the woman. That should tell you a LOT right there!

Tptb have a very nefarious and evil agenda for this country. To attack it within. To cause it to implode upon itself. For only then, will it be ripe for the taking or the reforming of it to their specifications.

It is quite simple, tptb are just targeting the walls that guard the fortress. ;0)

Because when women began to HAVE to work outside the home, men lost their purpose and their place in life.

Think of it this way. What state would the women in this country be in if men all of a sudden started having babies? How would they feel. Would they feel the need to continue to have children? What for, if the men are now doing it?? So what is there role now? This is how confusion is born and reigns supreme! When we change the roles that God has given us to play. A play must have a director, actors must have individual roles, or you have utter chaos. Same with a ship, a military unit or any other kind of analogy you can think of that has rank and structure. So must go the home!

What does ''failure to launch'' have anything to do with gender? I notice a lot of men vs woman here.

I never said ALL.most yes but not all.
