Ever considered some sort of panel interview with say, men that aren't working, men that aren't in relationships, just gather a group of some different backgrounds and ages?

As someone actually in this demographic, none of these "experts" you keep bringing on are able to accurately diagnose the source of this issue. Its genuinely pathetic how they are so blind to something so simple to understand. Spit on a man long enough and he will crawl across broken glass to stab their enemy in the heart.

(1) The Education system is designed to waste our time and financial resources, and is a social mobility retardant. (2) Gender Equity Policies inevitably leads to women aging out of their fertility window & pricing themselves out of the dating market. (3) What is the point of killing yourself in a poorly compensated & unfulfilling 9-to-5 job for promiscuous women who have damaged their ability to pair bond? Not one of your guests has adequately addressed the ramifications of No Fault Divorce. Men build to secure their legacy. We currently have a net negative when it comes to reproductive rights and parental rights overall.

Have you actually considered talking to people actually representative of this demographic?

And the pay is minimum wage

Yep finally we got the memo. I am already on the cusp of 30.

hit the nail on the head, my value to others is really the value of my income and the amount of respect people give you is tied so tightly to how popular you are.

Living off the grid has been more popular than ever before

You would think so but no. Men take great satisfaction building things. And want to be compensated for their labor. Then take that capital to spend anyway they want. You are talking nonsense to make yourself feel better for being unproductive. But if you got off your ass and started building houses or wrenching cars you would feel pride.

Capootalism

I salute you for that. When I delivered newspapers literally in the dead of winter there was one super rich guy who never tipped me anything but Insisted give him 10 cents back so he "could buy a cup of coffee." As I recall I quit that paperoute without notice too. I just couldn't get motivated to be someone's slave.

Brilliantly said sir. Well done. I'm a trucker myself so I'm not on an amazing wage, but I do I vest nearly 30% of my income every week and have done for the last few months. I do it for my son. I had him late in life but he is my world. I thought I was oh so clever and wise but since having my son I realise what's truly important.

Amen Brother. You took the words out of my mouth and put them to paper. I too am an Engineer. After my Wife called it quits, it left me living with my family. Oh, I have money from liquidated assets after the divorce (Homes), but so what. Boss gets richer of which is okay as I’m not a socialist, wife moves on with a banner of feminism and my So Cal family is card carrying wolk folk. At 59 and a Veteran, I can’t wait to live in another country retired at 62. The way I’ve been treated (White, middle class, non-degreed professional who has never bounced a check or struck anyone) it’s as if todays culture can’t wait for me to leave! I’ll take my retirement income elsewhere. Thanks

@@jonmarchilgers384 Ya, I hear you brother. I've only been doing engineering for a few years and I'm already pretty done. I don't see the point of putting in these long hours. The pay is nice, but now that I have a nice nest egg and minimal expenses I'm already quite comfortable. It's amazing how little a single guy with no interest in the dating market really needs. I'm probably going to join a monastery when my current lease is up. I see complete dedication to my spiritual practice as the only worthwhile path available. I don't have a particular religion exactly, but I learned meditation from a Buddhist tradition a while back and will continue that. I don't know what religion you hail from or believe in, but every one of them I know of has some sort of contemplative tradition. I was an agnostic atheist before I learned meditation and Buddhist meditation practices are very compatible with that worldview (they just instruct you to watch your breathing). But I know Christians have multiple contemplative traditions, as do Jews, Muslims, and Hindus. You might give this a consideration. Most religion has become tribal and intolerable to me, but there's spiritual practice out there that still seems quite meaningful.

I quit my 300k software dev job, because the money becomes worthless. It does not give anything more. We can't save it due to inflation, we can't put it in the stock marked because if we win, all profit goes to taxes, and if we loose, we have to take the whole cost. Doing realestate is so heavy taxed and people renting belive they are checking in on a luxury hotel with 24/7 service and "the landlords are just gready capitalists that exploid them" without understanding most of what they pays goes to taxes and maintainance. All i want in the end is just freedom. "I leave you alone and you leave me alone" but once we are not left alone, then what's point?

I live in Mexico and I think there are many factors but the most critical is how expensive things are now and what society expects from men. Society wants us not to complaing about anything and accept that if you are poor and miserable is because you want it that way. Women still want the old male responsabilities to be upheld by men but all the priviledges of modern feminism for them, society tells us that if you are young you are dumb and need to climb the salary ladder which will take a decade at least. In the current economical conditions from your 20s to your 30s you will be broke barely paying the rent and bills and dating women is very expensive specially when they have Tinder to choose from 100+ different dudes, I mean they can party each week free of charge as long a different man pays. In addition they won't accept a man that makes less than them and any women can make more than a man just by opening an OF account. Women in the past were told to marry, have kids and choose a man that loved her and was willing to take care of her, the money was going to be there eventually if the man worked hard for it and she was going to take care of things at home for him. Now they get the idea that they deserve the top tier men with the looks and the money, that creates lonely poor young men that even trying their best are still miserable also with the inflation out of the charts affording a home is becoming impossible so you stay with your parents the longer taht is possible or share a cheap apartment with other dudes. Also jobs in Mexico are killing our souls, you just are a tool that has to live to produce and be efficient 6 out of 7 days a week. Can you really blame men if they prefer whatever hobby they like ther most, drugs, whores, video games and doing just the bare minimun to survive rather than a life of hard work and a demmanding wife that can leave you at anytime and take half of the things that took you 20 years to build??? Men are losing hope in finding a decent young women, this exactly the root problem for young men: affording a home, having a wife and rising kids is a luxury now when it used to be the nucleus of a functional society...

You just gotta know the right people

Yeah everything is about who you know that's why if you don't know anyone you are screwed

That's exactly right. I don't care what the field is. You develop relationships and get to know people. You need any reference you can and you are always developing relationships as your career develops. It's not right or wrong, it just is.

Yes, networking is everything.

Well said.

Amen brother!!!

Yes - this!!!

Everyone: no no, come back, why you no work!?

Problem is your are arguing over the wrong things. Its not the job stealing your money you agreed with.. Its Government Taxes and inflation Would you not love to see a 30% plus increase in your pay? Who gets a 30% pay raise? The fight is not to make a place like McDonalds pay you 30hour. The fight is from the people who take 30% out of your W2, another 10% for everything you buy and more from inflation/state/fees. That is the real battle Imagine actually getting back at least 40% of your pay every week? Imagine gas prices still being a dollar something.. Imagine eggs going back to being in the cents. Focus on the real issues

This is the way, I'm in a similar boat as you. At the end of this long employment battle I stopped looking at what I thought would make other people respect me and started asking myself; "what makes ME happy?". Cheers, friend.

Very true. When I first started bricklaying, I had to keep lying to get on site. I got sacked from atleast 8 jobs before I got good enough to be called adequate.

Hmphhhh... true

@@ourworldtoday2024 💩

​​@@mmmbbop9351 you don't think much of the drug use is the by product of not seeing a worthwhile path forward (plus any untreated mental/physical/social problems) but still needing some money, so putting in a half-assed effort by getting a job doing something, even if it means you're showing up kind of hung over and maybe reupping on your lunch break? I don't imagine that most people in construction have everything going for them but then drugs crept in and fucked it up (...not because there's anything wrong with construction, but it's a field where you do the hard work and often get rewarded less, so I don't think these people are calling most of the shots in life, hence why drug use might not be _the cause_ but another side effect of a challenging situation)

@@OurNewestMember you take forever to say nothing. Men have faced many hardships over the years and not broken, but kicked life in the arse and emerged victorious and unbroken. I understand exactly what you are saying and I think the reason why most construction workers suffer from these affliction's has got nothing to do with personal circumstances and everything to do with the culture. Read "black rednecks and white liberals" by Thomas Sowell. It details the origins of the ghetto mentality and it's effects on the society that glorifies it. I worked with a Lad from Stoke tonight (am currently in a hgv job which is double manned) and he was an absolute scumbag and revelled in that fact. Over the last two weeks alone, I have worked with Africans, Polish, Romanians and the English. My fellow countrymen have that ghetto mentality in spades and it makes me so God damned ashamed.

Don’t be productive

@@song-signs Some of us have a very strong work-ethic built into us from our upbringing. It takes "more work" for us to not be productive. I see the non-productive types at my work. It's amazing how they are able to bullshit for 5 hours of their 8 hour day, doing maybe 3 hours of real work, and the other 5 hours pretending to work, walking to the breakroom, bathroom, checking their phones, making small talk with the other employees, basically doing anything and everything but their actual job. For me, my day goes by much faster if I'm pedal to the medal working. If I try to deliberately be unproductive, an 8 hour day will seem like a 20 hour day. Some of us don't even have a choice

@@Psmitty97 have you ever considered that maybe you were taught the wrong things? That maybe that other lazy guy was taught the right thing? It’s quite simple actually. If someone strategy nets success and another person’s strategy nets failure, who is doing things right?

It's even more fulfilling when the least productive guy who creates more work for you is your boss because he's an idiot. So you end up doing the work of 3 or 4 people, but he only pays you minimum wage.

Start your own business.

Few people "want" to work. Let's be real, here: people work primarily to secure their own immediate personal ends or those of their families. Everything else is mostly incidental. Of course there are some people who actually enjoy what they do. Such people are usually said to have "careers" as opposed to mere "jobs". Ok, Captain Obvious rant over 😊

Sadly because if you throw in the towel, you'll be punished with poverty and no ability to access healthcare. Many are afraid of that and for their families and rightfully so.

Wow....that is tragic indeed. I'm sure you're not the only one who had to go through this capitalistic BS.

Don't give up! You could make shift manager. JK. Tons of people find themselves doing stupid work after training for something that sounded good. Part of trick is that unless you're already wealthy and/or well-connected, what drives the next step is when someone with the resources really needs/wants someone badly (for a new project, to replace someone.... Whatever.... Doesn't matter too much).... That's where you come in. Typically your degree barely matters. What matters is that they need someone and they either like you enough or dislike the idea of finding yet another candidate. I know. It's not flattering. So you can improve the success rate by bumping into more people with needs (eg, more networking, applying for jobs farther outside your current chosen field), or just allowing more time (not ideal, but can work). Basically, the variable here is not you (because you don't have the thing you want, which is the more suitable job), it's the people with the thing you want. They'll typically call a recruitment company once they get approval to hire someone, so if you make yourself available where the recruitment companies look for people, you're likely positioned to finally close the loop by finishing their tedious candidate search and bringing your days of picking up your shift schedule for the restaurant to a close. There's nothing magical; it's very mechanical and not explained too job applicants.

Who told you science was marketable? How did you come to that conclusion or sustain is as a scientist who presumably lives in a world of cold logic and pragmatic reason?

Wrong path pal

I feel your pain brother, Dropped out of college so no debt but I’m still in the bracket of low income,(making the same as ppl with degrees)It was drilled into everyones heads so I can’t sit here and blame anyone with a degree. Certain parts of our country are high crime rate for a reason, ppl don’t understand how truly bad America is becoming, from the bottom up it’s nothing but crooks and liars. Ppl say stuff similar to “Just take my advice bro it worked for me” not taking into account the 8/10 ppl that did the same thing and didn’t get lucky. Nowadays backstabbing and thieving your way to the top of soyciety is the only hope of getting ahead.

I'm sorry about your wife. Hang in there and keep saving your money. Debt is slavery, focus on getting free.

Amen brother, it fucking sucks.

I am sorry for your loss. There are proven and relatively quick ways to treat burn out and PTSD. You can look into research using MDMA or magic mushrooms + counseling, Amsterdam in the Netherlands is a good place for it since the substances are in top quality. Iboga therapy is supposedly even stronger (haven't personally tried that). Regarding meaning, I would do that after integrating the PTSD and from a more relaxed point of view using existential therapy. You can combine all that with Ashtanga style yoga, I would be very surprised if after a few months of daily practice of Ashtanga (very different from other yoga styles) you are still in the same state. I think it is practically impossible but who knows. Find the right teachers and you can grow. You can put meaning in the most mundane and seemingly redundant things in life, however coming from a position of self efficacy and control is important for your well being.

God bless you, that's tough to hear.

I learned a trade and I’m feeling the same. So don’t think it the specific job. If you don’t have kids and you’re still young I recommend you bail on the job for a couple of years to travel the world. Sorry about your wife.

serfdom maybe but slavery implies involuntary loyalty or servitude to a specific master. You're perfectly ALLOWED to not work a job. You're free to try and carve out an existence in whatever way you wish, it's just heavily incentivized to play the game or join the system.

Any taxes the men pay go to benefit everyone else to allow everyone else to have an advantage over them (men). What we are seeing is the variation of the "grass eater" movement that has been around in Asian for a while. Men see a no win situation in trying to have a career or start a family.

There's a lot to this. I've long wanted to move out into a cabin in the woods and spend my days meditating and reading/writing philosophy. To even get a crappy, uncleared 1 acre of land in a low COL state you're looking at $20,000. That's before anything is built, any permissions from the local government you need to build are asked for, and etc. $20k, just for 1 acre of land you can put a tent on. And if you do build a cabin, it better not be substandard housing. You'll be forced to add tens of thousands of dollars of features just to bring your house up to code. It's insane. Boomers have done everything to lower the supply of real estate in order to jack up their property values. EVERYTHING.

Wise words.

I have thought of this before. Another point of view is that all aspects of our lives are fragmented and compartmentalized, you work with people that are not from your neighbourhood or that take no part in the remaining of your life, to the point that if you change jobs you likely will never see them again. Compare that with living in a small village, being the local baker, you don`t only make bread for your own profit, you sell it to your neighbour who possibly does some service to you, carpentry or whatever and so on. It creates a web of relationships and not this situation that we are where everything is out of vanity, there is not the web of relationships around you. Edit: Minor grammar corrections.

@@ch-yq5yn or, they want you to do a special report or project unpaid?

i've been jumping through jobs every 3 to 5 years. mainly because every single employer i've worked for has been nothing but toxic and abusive. i've set a number of rules for myself, the first one being to always keep looking for a better paying job. rule 2, the longer i stay, the more work they dump on me and refuse to compensate for it. this has happened every single time. rule 3, constantly update resume and develop a network of contacts for references that are guaranteed to provide positive feedback to the morons in HR. rule 4, always tell myself never to be loyal to any company. the cup of coffee worth in raises is not worth it always find a new job that pays $10k to 20k more than the previous job. because the 3% raise really helps so much when food costs are up 300% and rent goes up 15%. remember, these corporations raised prices on their products, so they are making huge profits, yet they are keeping salaries low. never ever thing less of yourself. i am tired of this foolishness, tired of being in this game.

Yup federal min. Has been 7 25 for over 20 years even when the great recession in 2008 . The data is obvious. Why do u think native born school graduates are more likely to not be working than less educated immigrants? It's not cuz of the American dream .working a dead end job for a multi billion dollar corporation isn't ever going to get u the American dream.. no offense to immigrants, I glad they do it cuz I can't...yea there's a Macdonalds by my house and every single one speak Spanish as 1st language, none of them are making a living or reasonable age .I'd never apply for that job ever sorry..most Americans know why they don't want those jobs because there's no reason to be there

Yea I feel bad for some states. Atleast in Washington the min is 17.50 but I've never seen jobs that low so altho have had many different jobs ,if haven't made under 20 for like 7 years out of my 10 years of working. So I can actually make almost 200 in a day. It doesn't go far there but it feels better mentally

The minimum wage is $7.50 in my State...but most places offer $15+ for entry level jobs. They only want people who can produce $17.89 or more in goods or services because they pay payroll taxes in addition to wages. $15 is what the Market says is necessary to get applicants.

What's your job if you don't mind me asking?

I do think this is the norm. Many people would take any work to provide for kids, married or single parent. The indignity seems a bit east to swallow when the sun is to care for loved ones.

It's really that simple.

This. If the job doesn't even pay enough to allow you to support your loved ones, then what's the point? It's not that men don't want to work. It's that they don't want to work and still not be able to support their families. A man's wage is not enough these days. 2 wages are required just to get by.

You people in the comments keep missing the overall point. Men have been over worked literally for thousands of years, but we’d always work. What changed? The nuclear family changed.

For that matter, there are plenty among us who can accept being overworked so long as they can provide well for a family. Right now, for many, that's just not possible.

You just know they make better wives than their argumentative Western counterparts. I'm genuinely surprised that Western women have not begun a mass awakening of how they've been played.

id rather be lying on a beach, so take this job and shove it lol

@@joeBishop866 This is a heavily culturally biased mentality that is not the be all and end all mindset of how the world of work and business should work. It is merely the mentality that America itself has chosen to follow and these are the consequences. It's not how things have always worked. While there obviously has always been a bias towards self-interest throughout time, the way systems worked have changed over the years for numerous reasons that have ultimately lead to the state of the world we see today. Back in the middle ages, you ploughed fields and lived on the edge of poverty with the possibility of getting murdered by invaders or you willingly put your life on the line and fought battles for glory, wealth and status. Times were more simple back then for better or for worse. Nowadays things are complicated. Mo matter which way you look at it, life has always been about survival of the fittest but now we live in a world where veterans who have been released from duty are struggling to adapt to civilian life because of how complex it is. To do anything in life nowadays, you have to fill in a billion forms and go through a ton of legislation and people are both intimidated and fatigued by this. Therefore, they choose to instead turn to the few things that form filling and legislation is not a barrier of entry, things they can just go and do immediately. When you look at videogames for example and the instant gratification they bring when you accomplish something that would take ages to accomplish in real life, you can clearly see the problem. There's too much red tape and legislation, too many forms, too many registrations and other complications of the like. You didn't need to have qualifications back in the day, college was a luxury, now it's become somewhat of a mandatory gateway that more or less everyone goes though and by the end of it, they are no better off because their competitors all went through the same process and came out with the same results and when they apply for the job, they are turned down because they don't have the necessary experience. Qualifications are worthless in that regard. The world has become too clinical and legislation is what has caused all of this. Attempts to improve social systems over the years has brought upon too many complications. People look at employers as heartless and evil but they too are a victim of this clinical environment of over-legislation that presents a huge minefield for them to navigate and therefore the nature of employment has changed as a result of legislation. It's no secret that many people out there who are working low income jobs are employed solely as a result of legal loopholes and their careers are literally hanging by a horse hair. How can we have a world where we have connection and empathy when over legislation has created this clinical void? You can't even volunteer for unpaid work without filling in forms anymore. It's all because of people using the court systems to file lawsuits for compensation and companies have to cover their backs and they need to get solicitors to do this which adds more to the costs. Why do you think so many people go to law school? That's where all the money is, because Law plays a role in everything and knowledge of Law is in high demand because Law is so complicated now. On top of this, you have companies that are mostly owned by wealthy people in the middle east, some of which have never run a business in their lives who are greatly influencing the decision process of how companies operate for the sake of short term gain so that they can profit from trading stock. When companies are publicly run, who is ultimately going to be held accountable? The CEO can't be held accountable because they're just an employee and they can resign at any time with a guaranteed job position elsewhere offering the same wealth and status. If no one is being held accountable, it means that these shareholders can get away with basically anything they want at the expense of both employees and customers of the service. What irks me is that despite all of this legislation, we still do not have a law that forbids companies from allowing public shareholders and requires shareholders to be connected to the company in some way, requiring them to work a station of some sort. If you aren't working in the company, why should you have any rights of ownership? It's all wrong. Yet somehow we have all these other regulations that are constantly bombarding both employers and employees. We are being suffocated by it.

Yep. It was pointed out decades ago as a negative consequence of pushing almost all women into the labor market. Men can no longer provide, women don’t need them, so men have much less incentive (or opportunity) for productive work.

One of the first things the Nazis did in power was offer marriage loans to young couples to start families and households and then deducted a quarter of the principal for every child they had. They coupled this policy with tax incentives for women to leave the workforce, which freed up jobs for young men who could then attract wives because they were gainfully employed.

@Long John Thilver Goleta, a few miles from Santa Barbara.

This is something that always confused me, but I think a big part of it is because of all the quality of life things we spend our money on too (as well as straight up inflation). My great grandfather raised a family with 5 kids working as a Carpenter on a single income. They also didn't have cars with loads of safety features, cellphones, laptops, streaming subscriptions. A lot of this stuff that has improved our quality of life has in a way ruined our lives. It's the moral of Fight Club that our materialism has enslaved us to our material things that we pretty much can't live without unless you're a monk.

@Lawrence Newman thats one of a few reasons. Top earners vs bottom earners gap has increased massively within companies, high levels of immigration pushing wages down, loss of manufacturing jobs, high inflation and the general poor mental health of people (mostly men) in general. They’re all factors. Mass immigration on its own probably wouldn’t have that much impact.

Well, when sex is easy to get and when men figured out that getting educated doesn't get you girls anymore, many don't bother. Looks are king nowadays women earn their own money. Women's mate preferences shifted so men acted accordingly. It's almost like keeping women out of the workplace was good for society and not just "the patriarchy" being mean.

When people work full time, they are left with little time after their hard days at work. I never understood how the world does that

@@Warbr33d Sex is only easy to get for 5-10% of the male population. The rest get very little if any. 63% of all men 18-29 are single. More young men are virgins than ever before.

@@Warbr33d most men are not getting sex either these days.

@@Warbr33d yeah but what about lesbians?! If you keep women out of the workplace that’s ok for straights but how will lesbians earn a living? We should NOT have lesbian only UBI. I refuse to let the government create any new policies

I feel your frustration. Good luck.

I normally quit jobs until I run out of money and the cycle repeats

GREAT JOB ..... now you can sit home and scratch your baalls all day

It's not "diversity hires" that are getting these jobs and ageism is real. If you read the threads, all the people that can't find a job start with the same line - "I've been sending out 25 applications a day and I can't find a job". Well of course you can't find a job because you're sending out BS applications all day. You find jobs thru PEOPLE. You need to get out network, reconnect with former employees and get in front of the decision maker and sell yourself. If you're doing anything else, you're not really looking for a job - you're doing nonproductive busy work that makes you believe you're actually looking for a job. Many of these guys don't have jobs or 21st-century job search skills

Your right on the money Dixon you can’t hardly own anything anymore because wages are not even close to where they should be!!!

@@jimclark9790 The supply is too great, and nobody wants to work when women get the house, the car, the kids, and whatever you might have scrapped up in the meantime. This is what happens when the sugar rush is over from the pack-of-candies economy.

It's certainly worth it if you're not a lazy fuck and have actual goals and purpose in life. That's why, even though money is being devalued, there are still millions of successful men and women.

Well said; more from you sir !

A guy in the US sitting on a couch with zero ambition still lives a better life than most of the rest of the world. 🙄

Diluting the money supply, abandoning the gold standard,...

HAHAHAHA

I disagree. I think it's purpose. Men will endure poverty and hardship if it's for family, God, or a country they care about, but all of the meaningful stuff in life has just been absolutely gutted.

@@saintsword23 money brings the purpose. you can't own a home or attract a woman to make a loving family with if you do not have money.

@@Savage.Doomer Even if you have the money, women still aren't worth it. Plus, you have to have a LOT of money nowadays to even own a home.

​@@Savage.Doomer that sounds backwards. The money won't make you want the wife and family to care for. Which would explain why married men are more employed (they'll put up with the bs to earn the money they need to fulfill their purpose). In which case the question is why is there that increase in men not being interested in relationships or even sex? (Or even career, etc)

Its nothing new. Men have always been useful objects that get thrown away for society. Women too. We don't value people just products.

Oy vey!!

Well a lot of companies are LEGALLY REQUIRED, to put SHAREHOLDERS above EVERYTHING! Now in the real world, this bullshit, wouldn't fly.. But thanks to Some Government group of friends, this is what were dealing with. And I'd say this is the "Agenda" you mention.

It's capitalism. You don't have to look very hard. When Jeff Bezos is worth $160 billion it's not because he works millions of times harder than other people. He's an economic warlord.

WELL, TIMES HAVE CHANGED, FIRST COVID AND NOW THE WAR, THIS HAS DISRUPTED THE NORMAL LIFE OF EVERYONE, THE LAST 50 YEARS HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD, NOW MOST PAMPERED AMERICANS CANT HANDLE A LITTLE DISTRESS, IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN OR CITY, FOR A JOB, THEN DO IT, I DID IT 20 TIMES IN MY LIFE TIME, THATS THE WAY IT IS, LIFE IS NOT EASY, AMERICANS HAVE BEEN PAMPERED LONG ENOUGH, THEY NEED TO GET OFF THEIR ASS AND PHONE OR VIDEO GAMES AND GET A JOB,

​@@johnashley6858He is retarded for not having any hidden assets. And for paying for someone's "education" for 12 years. What did he marry, a preschooler? Nobody needs that much "education" and you should marry a woman who paid for her own education.

that's an indictment of females and marriage... no one elses fault.

Mikedowning4869 I'm not saying thats not true as I've heard too many similar stories to think otherwise but I also wonder is it always as one sided as it seems. A lot can happen in 12 yrs in a marriage so its not necessarily as using someone as it seems.. though certainly that's possible as well. Even if not the main reason a woman gets married. It may very well be that she has little to lose by taking a chance. Courts really seem to favor women/mothers. I am a female who is mid 50's but did not marry. I simply really didn't find the right guyvn didn't want to just use someone until he came along or for financial reasons. Certainly not all women do this but far too many do.

I try to warn my sons, but they won't listen. There is literally no reason to get married as a man!!!!!!!!!

@@mkelly4042 Marriage takes a lot of work, lots of pushing through bad times, and is easier with 2 having similar goals and attitudes. Unfortunately, even though courts favor women, most women who divorce really end up worse than the man, a house doesn't pay for itself. My wife and I had almost 40 years together before she died, and not all those years were perfect bliss, believe me, but life is a mess no matter what.

Its hard to be absolutely childless, but the problem is to maintain ourselves we need 2.1. So just even having 2 isnt enough anymore for most young people. A large number need to now have 4 or 5 to compensate. It doesnt happen of course, the old countries like Italy and Spain are good examples where they are well below 2, and its hard to see any end in sight.

So true. People don't feel appreciated, hence this situation.

@@luxurybuzz3681 not as much as women though besides most guys can live comfortably on $20k a year anything more is for fun

I've always said if I didnt have a wife and child I'd probably do the same thing. There's no point in working hard to support someone when there's no one to support. Also guy's needs are generally pretty low.

@@luxurybuzz3681 like what kind of hobby?

@@luxurybuzz3681 He never said he had no income.

There’s no free time working in the trades? What? Get back in there save your money retire somewhere nice.

I'm 27 all I've ever heard is how awesome everything used to be.

@@jimmyjones2185 The 80's were the best time in the USA.

And here I thought, children and women had it bad working in factories and coal mines for pennies. Refugees having to start over from nothing, after fleeing war torn countries. Only for men of this generation, to complain about corporations not being "nice" to them. Or feeling like they are owed success, for being undisciplined and not putting in the work required to be successful. The men of this generation are absolutely sad and pathetic. You are starting out with basic opportunities that are denied to so many around the world, yet you sit around bathing in self-pity and complaining..

It's like that in the uk as well. I recently walked out of a job cleaning buses because there's no respect for the employees you're there to make money for the directors of the company for minimum wage and you're expected to work backbreakingly hard for your money. I'm 62 and pissed off about the decline in job quality that has occurred over the last 20 to 30yrs in the UK. I am no longer engaged with work. I'd rather work for free for a good cause but I've got to pay rent etc. Unless you have savings or some valuable assets that can be cashed in you are a slave to the system of work It's been designed that way to make the way out as punishing as possible.

In my opinion when there's a problem at the bottom its because of a problem at the top, government has probably changed alot since the "good old days."
