How do you know there are these unlaunched young men? Do you have numbers? Is it 10 % of all young men or how many is it? Quoting: WindyMind Some related data . . . Sharing a household with family members is a time-honored strategy for stretching thin resources (Hareven 1990; Ruggles 1987) and young adults in the U.S. may have coped with challenging economic circumstances during the recent recession by living with parents, relatives or friends. There is some evidence that this is the case. For example, a Pew Report reported that 1 in 10 young adults moved back in with their parents as a result of the recession (Pew Research Center 2009). More recently, a Census report indicated that the number of 18 to 24 year olds residing in their parent’s household increased by 5.2 percent between 2007 and 2010 while the number of 25 to 34 year olds living in their parent(s) household increased by 17.5 percent between 2007 and 2010 (Mykyta and Macartney 2012).

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. STOP BOTHERING WOMEN OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE! |

You can't say that previous generations didn't pass on a heap of debt to this one or that they themselves didn't want to tighten their belt so that it wouldn't happen. This generation doesn't even get clean air or water or earth but the greedy assholes making money polluting the planet are going to die before it hurts them. Of course they have families to think about and they will be provided for financially but really they have to breathe the air, drink the water and depend on the land for food too. I was just thinking about what is handed to this generation and future generations. It's depressing and maybe they deserved it as the Buddhists would say, that is karma, it is all karma.
