It's difficult but I did it. God gave you all the tools you need as a man to tackle life as a man, the problem is not that a fatherless boy/man can't do it, it's just that he hasn't had a mentor figure to teach him how to. But he does have the ability to do it, that God has given him. All the more important to have guy friends in your life who you can learn from.

@StoneAgeWarrior yep. If my sisters or me expressed an interest in something, even if it was something like history, which my dad is interested in, we'd get made fun of. When I got my first job, I got made fun of. My mom was somewhat worse but that's another story. I forgive them, but I had to work really hard over the years to overcome my nasty, bitter attitude that I naturally developed. I was also the one to help my sisters get better. Kids really need to be raised. Boys especially. It's my hypothesis that most boys are emotionally neglected. That's why do many have trouble with friendships and can't see women for anything more than s3x

​@@CR055FIRESaying guns should be banned because of gun crime does not necessarily imply that one believes the guns are themselves morally responsible for gun crime.

Please teach him well on this. My mom literally thought preparing me to be a good child on the playground would prepare me for adult relationships.

I'm only now learning in my late 30s. Both of them also had fathers who failed them royally so I know this is a generational thing.

excellent post..let the kids make their own fun; own adventures

If you can afford it, make your kid explore himself. Like, put him on a drawing course, or a martial arts gym, learn music, ANYTHING he can devote himself to with PASSION, a reason to wake up everyday and improve other than “society expects you too”. That’s the BEST thing you could do for your kid ever. He will naturally form bonds with people that share his interests this way. Teach him more technical skills too (because just throwing him at college won’t guarantee ANYTHING in this dynamic world we live in!). Incentivaste him to look for part time jobs so he learns the struggle of expectations at an early age just for the sake of learning and experiencing the world and how it works.

@@harrydavey9884 All of my kids are emotionally secure and mature.

They're not over. Go outside and touch grass plenty of women are settling for average men everyday. Y'all have a victim mentality and it probably shows when you're dating.

TBF dating was always gay. Usually people meet people they already know or meet friends of friends for their mates.

It was nothing but a cope to begin with. Nothing lasts, not love, not happiness or sadness. It's just the white man's burden 😢😅

@@xXEGPXxwhat are you yapping about

My mom always told me that "you have to be best friends before you can become lovers." when speaking on women and relationships.

Just from your statement , things have charged exponentially in the last 5 yrs, i know of one friend of family that's a father 17 and 15 boys. And he was tell me that his son has group of good friends, but they have no interest in looking for date's hangout with any girls. Never been on date ( this how you learn to interact with opposite sex) he was concerned he had other proclivities than girls? Seems that wasn't case ( he asked) their just not interested,and rather playing video games and play sports with his friends - certainly a lot different than when I was at that age especially 17 to 18 - I was chasing every pretty girl I could find, at least trying hangout with them anyway.

@@sitka49 I don’t think that’s too atypical at that age. At any rate, we are morphing into a Japanese style sexless society. That’s the funny thing about all this sexual degeneracy, it just leads to huge mental problems and ultimately a lot of sexlessness.

@@sitka49 Back in the 90's the concern was about preventing teenage sex - too many STI's (called "STD's" at that time) and teenage pregnancies. There was a real campaign to get teenagers to abstain from sex.

It's funny how everyone thinks societal degeneration started with their generation (I'm Gen X as well). I would say it started in the 1940s.

The music styles shifted in the 1970s..from romance, to drugs, at times When you go out on dates It's restaurants.. No real places to go No dances...

Late 70s.. perhaps? Music and dancing Allows people to meet, and decent exercise Gym could be boring

I postulate the arc of western civilization peaked in the 1990’s, plateaued in the 2000’s and has been sinking like a rock backwards ever since. We have now regressed back towards 1938.

Genzi tends to have a 1 person.Stay home and 1 person working and we're trying to make our marriages work.I personally am married and have been married for twenty years. The best thing to do for a marriage is to pick up a hobby together dancing or golfing or sailing or music or anything that you both like together so that you have something to talk about at the end of the day. Being able to talk about the children holds a lot of marriages together.But then when those kids move out the marriage has a lot of strain and stress put on it. Personally, I think it would be great and awesome to have ballroom, dancing or westcoast.Swing dance lessons in the high schools and grade schools.Just because that's how you interact with people.And my dancing structure forced me to talk to him instead to look at my feet and count the beats of the music. Get out there and learn to play crabs at the casinos.Because that's a very social game... I appreciate gaming online but that is isolating and it isn't going to lead to real relationships unless you have big meet ups and introduce yourselves at a conference which is completely feasible.

Thats a large, LARGE part of it. Sexual pursuit of women has been the largest motivator for men to do anything in life since pretty much the dawn of time. Porn flipped that on its head and now men are just settling for porn being 'good enough' if it means they don't have to deal with all the extra headaches that comes with women/dating.

Not all gen Z men are attracted to women lol.

Absolutely. My best friends in life are from various young adult groups and I'm still single. It's also generally just a healthier and more authentic social circle than anything else.

Progressivism predates the Boomers. The Silents were into it too. All the leaders and influencers of the flower power movement of the 60s were Silents (and a few of the Greatest Generation too) not Boomers. Also the GI or Greatest Generation were overwhelmingly Progressives too just that theirs was an earlier permutation of Progressivism. And there were plenty Progressives in the Lost, Missionary, and even Imperial generations as well (Bertrand Russell was from the Imperial Generation.)

​@@BigJFindAWay Did you happen to have a source or stats for this? I looked into statistics on the politics of the Greatest and Silent and was unable to find much.

It's been accelerated due to the fact that the good guys lost WW2. European Christians were the great losers of the world wars.

Yep, but each generation has less decent people to look up to and more of a moral wasteland to get lost in so it spirals.

That a good advice

Good advice! What about finding wives, since that is incredibly difficult for us young men too!

Unfortunately, due to original sin, ALL people are petty, selfish brats when left to our own devices. Even the kind ones. This sounds a little bigger than I intend, but I do believe it's true. I figure if Jesus can die on the cross while he knows he will be abandoned and betrayed by at least two of his closest friends, I can attempt to make honest human connections with those humans around me. And somewhat selfishly, somewhat personally, I can say that when I am feeling lonely that is all I am asking for- recognition and acceptance of my existence. If I feel this way, I'm sure that others have been or will be in that space also. Maybe it's my way to be Jesus in their life. It's the least I can do in return for Jesus's time and attention he gave me.

People are self centred and selfish inherently. They always were. The truth is we need common ideals, culture and values.

I keep seeing people say things about how were inherently evil, though I don't think that's true. We may be horrible sometimes, but we all forget we're being influenced en masse by multiple bad actors everyday in order to benefit them. Conflict can benefit politicians in some ways, as well as companies and arms dealers, and the people working there may not even realise this. You forget that people can be kind when they're happy, this society will make you this way. Try going into a less connected town for a lil while, one without as good a service. Try exploring with a bike around your neighbourhood. Look at the little things and enjoy life. Man has made us bitter, wasting our lives faster than that dude who picked up the chalice in the raiders of the lost ark. If you find happiness within yourself and learn to oppose what makes you so deterred from romance, you'll learn to find those whom exhibit the same qualities, though do be sure to make sure the aren't afraid of criticism, or self improvement. Oh and to answer your question, he probably doesn't assume relationships are happy or joyous, but he may be solely referring to a lack of those specifically. There are still lots of relationships, but many aren't healthy

He's not saying that all relationships are joyous and healthy. That wasn't the point of this video. The point is that the guy he was talking to couldn't seem to find a woman who would make for a GOOD and HEALTHY and LASTING relationship

@@KatSun3i I don't think people are inherently evil, nor are most people instinctively good. I do believe that we are fallen saints who sin and need redemption. As stated previously, when most humans are left unattended without any active negative consequences, most humans will devolve down to their fallen self serving state vs. rising to higher expectations. Corrupted, yes. Evil, not necessarily. That is why we need God's rules, Jesus's salvation and the Spirit's grace.

Nah, you just can't get women. Loser.

same, also I'm scared of degeneracy of a partner corrupting me and making me go to hell.

You both just can’t get laid lol

My father had similar experiences. Luckily he met my mother!

The solution to suburban sprawl is to end bad zoning laws and bring back mixed-use. If you have some people living above their stores, they don't have to commute. Others can at least walk to the shops and meet people.

Very very true. And the blame for that actually goes to the GI or Greatest Generation. They were the ones who got urban sprawl going. Though I must be perfectly honest. Though the GIs got urban sprawl going the generation prior to them, the Lost Generation, were the ones in charge politically and could have stopped suburbia from happening but didn’t.

Cars aren’t to blame for social problems. I lived in many suburbs and over the years (car or no car) people have stopped talking to each each other. You can walk to one of these “third places” in a city and it is no different than a suburb. No one talks to each other. I have been to LA and New York City and used the public transport there. No friends were made by me walking around. It’s fashionable not to not look at people in the eye in these places. It’s the time we are living in and the values of other that have changed friendship formation.

@@GigaNietzsche Exactly 😂 Everyone thinks that their generation is the most enlightened.

Your last sentence: “It seems many couples are together because they don’t want to be alone”…Is that a bad thing? I only ask because this seems to contradict the rest of your statement, which accurately points out how hard it is to find friends and a spouse today. As God said “it’s not good for man to be alone”. Men and women do not have to be perfectly compatible in every way. My wife and I had very different hobbies and interests, and one time while we were still dating one of her friends asked her “what else do you guys have in common besides the Catholic faith?” This gave her anxiety because she thought we were supposed to have something else in common. But we don’t. And how has that impacted our lives? Not much. We are coming up on five years of very happy marriage, and our third child will be born next month. Now we have even more in common than someone to go to Mass with, pray a rosary with, go to adoration and Confession with. We have a common life project and a common vocation to raise up the next generation of saints. So anyway, don’t put too much pressure on yourself to be perfectly compatible. A couple only needs to have similar visions of family life and morality.

Even more tragic that a good woman can't find a good man in this day and age

How about if you're in your 60s, Brian?

This is exactly true, so many men and women want a “good man/woman”, but they themselves are not good men/women. I feel like the few remaining people with values are so few and far between that they are doomed to isolation. I say they and not we because I often fear that I too am not what I should be in this world anymore.

A wise person once said: Men would rather be miserable than alone. Women would rather be alone than miserable.

That's fascinating. Could you go into a bit more detail about problrms? Do former protestants still have a combative, nasty attitude, despite being Catholic? A guest on a Taylor Marshall video said a lot of former protestants convert to Orthodoxy so they can have an ancient faith but still be anti-Roman. That sort of thing? What's the sex ratio like? One TLMer once said aside from a few young families there are almost no women at TLM parishes. Do you find that to be true? Honestly, the flaws of trad Catholics are fascinating

@AprendeMovimiento It seems to me that you’re making a blanket judgment based on your limited experience. I can’t say with certainty, but my observations of my TLM parish and another TLM parish in my diocese tell me that they don’t match your judgment at all.

@@JohnAlbertRigali yeah, I am not sure aboyt what yoy understand as "traditional" so can't really argue with your reading of the situation.

@@airspan2020 yeah, of course, I agree but that's exactly what's not happening (here) if the opposite is happening somewhere else, cool, here it is not happening. Those tendencies do not go away they just hide behind the traditionalist facade.

@@WhiteChocolate74 Well we do not come from a tradition, we were not raised traditionally in any manner, we don't carry traditional family prayers or communal prayers, traditional cosmology of reality as a whole and traditional customs, traditional folklore, art, artisans, we are trying to embody an ancient tradition from our non traditional mindset with that "follow this rule book mentality". it's like reconstructing a dead language, you can do it "technichally" but you are not gonna have the accent, slangs and customs of the people who spoke it. So all the materialism, capitalism, modern society axioms, right wing conservatism, left wing progressivism, protestant mentality doesn't get destroyed once you enter a TLM community, it will get better over time "if you continue to fight those tendencies", but in my personal experience I don't see many people fighting against those things, like the capitalist individualist right wing republican axiom pretty much stays the same with most people I know and they are not even trying to fight it out of their system, same with the cartesian mentality of separating the things of the soul and those of the body, we are just fragmented as humans and the TLM and the traditional sacraments and sermons helps of course, but destroying certain axioms in us requires much more than simply attending Church.

45yrs here, you get over it.😊

It is. But people won't listen to you, instead, they will just call you a loser.

It is actually returning to the historical norm. The 20th century, especially the mid-century, was characterized by a brief bubble of heightened, easy access to relationships for young men who were not especially privileged. With the cheap money bubble exhausted and economic prospects in the gutter, women can no longer afford to be as loose as previously and men can no longer afford the luxuries (or actually vital assets) anymore. Humanity is descended from 40% of the male population against 80% of the female. Reproduction has historically been the purview of the privileged, middle-aged and established men, and a small number of promiscuous or especially fortunate men, not the average man.

Men risked their lives in the most brutal environment humanity has ever lived through through to hunt across frozen wastelands and those left over that survived eventually developed agriculture and could now grow much larger families.

That's why it's falling apart in the first place. The brash and visible violent waves are men and the pull of the moon breaking the waves is women: behind the scenes, manipulating, driving the madness from the shadows. Men know this reality of the world now that feminism has always tried to cover up.

At some point you will have to what’s best for you

Really tough doing anything else when you're so focused on your career, but nothing wrong with that if that's what you prioritize. But I wouldn't worry about the height thing being a barrier. I'm shorter than you and Michael J. Fox is shorter than me. I found a lady and Michael J. Fox didn't seem to have a problem getting girls. I used the Match website, and it took a few months, but it all worked out.

​@@theboombody Michael J. Fox is a rich a-list celebrity so no crap he's getting women.

Economy is in the drain and going further down. Non-affluent men are predictably less desirable in the dating market. And if the woman is not into you today, there is a serious risk of jeopardizing a club that you enjoy. And it requires a club activity that you are actually interested in in the first place.

You don't have time for a relationship anyway so, what's the problem?

I think it is very interesting that you point this out. I tried talking to my brother about meeting single serious women. I didn’t know what to tell him. The best I could think of is going to church. Go to church and go to as many as you can. Ask the Lord for what you are looking for. Say it and put it into words, humble yourself. Those loved little , love little.

Interesting...it seems to me it's the opposite...more women than men.

​@@olilumgbalu5653 how many of these women are young and single? In most western countries nowadays, the average age is 40 and there's more 60 year olds than 20 year olds. America hasn't hit there quite yet but this is already the norm in Europe. A young man that goes out into the world today is more likely to run into his own grandparents than a girl his age

Even in a number of Protestant churches this is true. The small church I attend has like TWO young women at most who aren't married, and at least one seems to be dating a guy seriously. All the rest of the young people there are young couples in their late 20s or 30s or single guys like me. There are almost no young women in many churches these days. Many of them I think have been brainwashed into the modern feminist cult and left the faith.

I was also 10 years old 30 years ago in June 1994

Sounds like you are gay

Name literally a single example of this, I will pay you 200 dollars if you can find a single example of a large amount of critics calling a non queer story a queer one

@@xXEGPXx Frodo and Sam from LOTR. I can't help the fact that you're ignorant and blind.

@@artistforthefaith9571 I said a large amount of critics, fans making up fan theories is not the same thing as an entire industry trying to say they are gay. Find me an example fucktard

Bert and Ernie

Not for me. I bond with the bros I have sex with, it's great!

Sir, if you can’t remember your kids DOB or find your way around a drug store, you can’t lead.

​@@videoreferenzen1549😂😂😂😂😂

Most men are operating with the emotional intelligence of an adolescent. There's a reason why men freak out when their daughter starts dating: Men don't trust other men.

I'd say that men stopped leading because they were seduced by promises of comfort and easy sex that demanded nothing of them. Women didn't seize the roles of leadership they possess today - men willingly gave it to them because of their own weaknesses and refusal to lead in the way that traditional Christian culture required them to - through self-sacrifice.

@@BrianHoldsworth Or…after the Neolithic revolution, p+tr1+rchy replaced the naturally selected gifted male individual with a fake cultural premium man who just owned stuff women were not allowed to own and conclusively gave men access to reproduction who would never have brought their genes into the next generation back when we were all living in the woods and the group controlled who got to be with the fertile women. Because just like in the animal kingdom, all women are meant to reproduce but not (haha) all men. We still have twice as many female ancestors as male ones. And yet our world suffers from a negative selection of the unfit that was forced on women and goes back centuries. But evolutionary biology doesn’t go well with Christianity, does it.

relate i am 22 never had a respectable partner look my way just people looking for "fun" . i think this is the new norm.

@@schizotakes The majority of people at 22 have a long term partner, you not having one is 100% due to your own actions

@@xXEGPXx Dude who hurt you?

When you have found no deep, reciprocal connection with another person then it’s quite natural to want to invest your care and love into _something_ that rewards or comforts you. I can honestly say that without owning dogs I wouldn’t know ANYONE in my village and I would barely have reason to talk to another soul; it’s the routine of going out each day, similar routes, passing the same people that lead to conversations and community. If someone cares about their pet then it says good things about them on the whole imo.

Animals are much more loving and easier to care for than humans

@@RepentImmediately that's my point....it's easier. I understand why people are alcoholics for the same reason I understand this new Pet Mom phenomenon. These animals are a coping mechanism.

Well said. Every change is most definitely not a good change.

Ohh noooooooooooooo you cannot beat women anymore, you are so oppressed that you can no longer oppress people

It doesn't have to be this way

This is insane militaristic propaganda.

If you want to spend your time, 90% oustrized in the penalty box or totally pushed out, like happened to me during GamerGate. I'm permabanned on Facebook and Twitter. Half the time I'm in KZfaqs penalty box for some reason or another. They never tell me exactly why. 😈😈

Like my 3 closest male friends

Absolutely. Although, monastics life in a monastery is community focused. Living as a hermit is to live more alone and isolated and is considered a more advanced state that most monks should not be given permission to do. Before I was born Catholics had neighborhoods or sections of neighborhoods centered around a parish, parishes. Actually, when asked where they were from they would give the name of their parish. I was raised in Generation X but in ethnic Black-America, so the close knit "tribe" of those parish communities were gone. Even the black community which was overwhelmingly Protestant, had a disintegrating since of "neighborhood community," but it was not yet eradicated. So, my best friend I grew up with was raised by a single mother, and in an extended family in his grandmother/aunts home he and his mother lived in. Their relatives were even right next door (house next to them). My generation of black when we were kids were known as fatherless. I wasn't, some weren't, but many were. Many formed gangs, and nearly all had close friendships. The prevailing explanation for why so many boys were uniting with other boys, was because "they don't have fathers in the home." By my judgement a partial truth, but not the whole story. You know... the streets and alleys were full kids playing, back when I was a child. Today it is rare to see that. Most kids are in their houses playing video games. I mean hell... when I was a kid to play video games 🎮 required 99% of kids to go to the arcade. But I'm a big proponent of sports, and sports taught under a competent coach. I learned some good lessons in life from sports. Confidence, it's main source, or greatest slice of a pie chart in causations, comes from a simple thing not so simply accomplished for some: *winning.* Take the UFC. No one enters professional UFC as white belts and their first week in a boxing gym. Or take a car 🚗. If you know ZERO about fixing cars, how confident are you to open an auto mechanic 🧰 shop as the sole mechanic? The guy who has spent 15 years successfully fixing cars might have more confidence to take this leap. I learned this concept of the connection between confidence and winning in sports, really only late in life in a boxing gym. I entered boxing very late in life. Like super late in life. But I found out a few years later that this concept was already known for a very long time but apparently only be a relatively few high achievers. So, I saw an interview of a successful business man saying this exact thing, confidence comes from winning, thus to build that up in people under him he assigns them small tasks that is probable they can achieve. Then he gives them increasing levels of more difficult tasks. What he does not do he says... in their still novice or junior state is to give them tasks so difficult it would overwhelm them and destroy their confidence. I'm no psychologist, but I suspect an increasing numbers of young American males are increasing their isolation hours behind computers. Which actually makes them higher achievers and more confident with computers than myself. One can refer to the 10,000 rule as a "rule of thumb" to be applied to a wide area of skill sets, talents, domains of knowledge. Even a novice monk, just entering monastic life, is put under the tutelage of a more experienced monk with x years in. Because monasteries have internal rules and customs.

Well it may be unstoppable, but I don't plan on letting it mow me over quite so easy. We'll see what happens.

This country was founded on slavery and violence.... when exactly was the "we are" period?

Any hope for a better America died when we joined the Allies during WW2.

The year 1920 was actually a very bad change for society.

No democracy has lived pass 300 years and we're very close to it

@@artistforthefaith9571 There was no good option for us in World War II. The Nazis hated God and the Bible just as much as the Communist USSR. They just had different strategies against it, one pushed atheism while the other pushed paganism, astrology or politically beneficial deism. World War I is what set the western world on the wrong course and destroyed countless good aspects of the "old societies".

Exactly, you only have the cards you're dealt. 😂

God must be contradicting himself then. Unless you're one of those Christians who's never read a Bible.

lol that wasn’t god brother, that was the enemy.

When you were a kid you all thought lynching was a good thing

Even as a young kid in the early 2000s, I remember there were still some moral standards. Fast forward 20 years, and they have almost totally evaporated. A society with some moral issues descended into complete chaos and mob mentality.
