- Why are young men dropping out of society?

Is it because they don't want to contribute or because they can't contribute? Is it porn? Video games? Movies? Internet? Welfare? Is it purely a social phenomenon or is there actually something genetic/biological that makes them behave this way? Maybe something about their upbringing? Should something be done about it, and if yes, what?

is this topic about suicide or something?

- We can't get jobs even with advanced degrees
- We can't afford houses, rent costs too much - We see that marriage usually f***s us over, women can (and will) cheat on us and take half of everything - Children are overexpensive s*** factories that destroy your dreams - Video games are extremely cheap and more fun that paying $22 for two drinks and getting called a creep by ugly THOTs at the bar It's simple really. |

mix of many factors
fundamentally men participate in society because there is a clearly defined way for them to exchange their effort for respect and sex modern society has both devalued that exchange as well as made it harder for them to actually find work that allows them to participate in it some men learned to adjust and found that there are other ways to get respect and sex that are not socialized into us (physical fitness and grooming) others did not adjust. those who didn't have become socially withdrawn. some of them radicalized. i tend to think this is a cyclical thing as cultures change. on top of all this, games and porn provide an outlet that undermines the motivation to pursue those things in the first place, so a lot of men withdraw whether forced to or not

The tables turn quick at 30+ when women realize their looks are fading as if they gazed into the lost Ark and their eggs are disappearing fast. Then it's time to settle down with the beta and get married. |

lack of male role models
teacher bias against male students. from fundamentally not understanding the difference in male and female behavior, to outright grading them harsher |

That doesn't really argue against my point that women only have sex with the 8/10's and up. it very much does the kinsey report shows us that approximately the same numbers of women and men are having sex at the same rate across the board, except for 10% of women who have very frequent sex when single with a much smaller number of men having sex when single this is largely condensed in the 20-30 age group which is where promiscuity is highest in both genders

Why do some people react so aggressively/defensively when somebody brings up the discontent that some maladjusted males feel in our society?
I mean they might be right or wrong, but usually they're met with " replies along the lines of "SHUT THE f*** UP YOU SEXIST EVIL NECKBEARD s***LORD REDPILL PIG", and most times they're unwarranted.

It is pointless to force people into accepting that men are being screwed over by sociaty more now then the past decades. No one can be forced to take the red pill, they have to experience their life getting royally screwed up or see a friend's life end up this way.

Seems more like SOCIETY is dropping out of society. Go outside and notice how empty it is compared to when you were a kid. Even on an awesome summer day. Besides the obvious videogames and internet, child nappers pretty much ruined parents letting kids roam the neighborhood. Now parents get arrested if they let kids roam outside.

Probably because like 100% of people aged 15-30 either have divorced parents or have multiple friends with divorced parents. Marriage is a gamble for men. If you win, you maybe get a happy life(not guaranteed). If she divorces you, your life is ruined.
Why risk 1/2 of everything you'll ever earn when there is like a 1 in 2 chance the woman you marry will f*** you over? |

to give the topic some context:
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/07/what-are-young-non-working-men-doing/492890/ In the 2000s, employment rates for young men with less than a four-year degree dropped sharply – more than in any other group. We have determined that, in general, they are not going back to school or switching careers, so what are they doing with their time? The hours that they are not working have been replaced almost one for one with leisure time. Seventy-five percent of this new leisure time falls into one category: video games... And they are having fun, Hurst emphasized. “Happiness surveys actually indicate that they [are] quite content compared to their peers,” he told UChicago. In the short run, not working doesn’t seem to make men miserable at all.

The STEM shortage was a myth spread to create an oversaturated labor pool for companies to pick from. It worked.
Of course.
Big companies create a false narrative that there is a STEM shortage in order to saturate the market with more offer than demand and thus lower wages. They also flood the market on purpose with cheap underqualified workers from overseas to further saturate the market.Nov. 3 = best day in Gamefaqs history! ~I don't have any alternate accounts~

maybe in Arkansas. I live in new jerseyRather than blaming the opposite sex, I'll just say that I had no role model for when I was younger and I slowly disappeared from society and have no clue how to act in social situations. I come off as weird and sometimes annoying and when i do have a crush on someone, its like I try to create attention which probably withdraws it.
I've gotten better about it. I've actually become quite a comedian in my workplace and many think I'm funny but obviously I'm not attractive but I'm a nice capable guy who seems to be responsible but I just don't know what I would do if I found myself in a situation where I had to...woo.
I've gotten most of my girlfriends by meeting them online first. They end up enjoying my awkward funny nature but I think its because we seem to be so very similar.Xeno14 posted...

Rent is too expensive
Everything is too expensive
If you're not good looking and 6' or over you get no play regardless unless you pay for it
Especially if you have a shy personality
It just makes you want to withdraw into yourself because it hurts too much out there. Especially the rejection. An example for me would be: I used to think my boss and I were pretty decent friends, we could joke around and there was seemingly always mutual respect... until I found out from a mutual friend that she thinks I'm creepy and is uncomfortable around me. Yet she'll smile to my face and all that. So I've stopped joking with her and trying to get her respect because why bother? I already know what she truly thinks about me.

Summer days are in the 80s or 90s with high humidity. 70s/low 80s with low humidity is fine. Even temps as low as 60-65 with high humidity are intolerable.

Is marriage really that bad now? I was born in 77 and have only one friend I knew who had a step father, and one of my aunts divorced and remarried. I am not even sure now i know anyone that's been remarried, outside of the internet. I met my wife in 1999 and had/have never once felt like I needed to worry about divorces because we genuinely love each other.

Word. As someone who graded almost half a thousand students in the past year it didn't really hit me until the last final I graded that these students are actually perfectly okay with a C. I never really realized this and I graded harshly (held students to a high standard) since my school is well known for the program I'm in."Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience."The instant gratification and progressive nature of video games (as in, working towards constant new goals) almost completely takes out the drive to succeed in real life, especially considering just how much more it's stacked in favor of those already successful.

This actually seems largely true"Oh, my mother; oh, my friends, ask the angels, will I ever see heaven again?" - Laura MarlingFYI anyone quoting the Kinsey Report, that book was written in 1948 (fitting). We're talking about trends that developed at the start of the civil rights era, and are now normative.
Today's modern women use men to get "stuff." Period. This happens when there's a too high male to female ratio, when women compete with men for jobs, and when 10% of the men hold 90% of the resources. Weve basically returned to a syrfs and lords paradigm, where a family with children is reserved for the afluent.
Back in the 40s and 50s, women genuinely married for love. The idea of strength within the family was honored. Nowadays, women have no respect for marriage, their children, or even themselves. So, men have to play a constant balancing act with someone impossible to please. The only way to find true peace and happiness is to stop worrying about it.
In fact, men are better off today focusing on their ambitions. Most of those 10%ers were once lonely, and aggressive men who got tired of playing to lose. The reason they're able to pick and choose is because women are a means, not the goal.The problem is not the constraints of the retail market, it's the constraints of an executive's brain. - Jim Sterling.In fact I can say with almost 100% confidence that society is slowly transitioning into a "matrix" type of society within the next 100-200 years. People are learning that the virtual world is more satisfying than reality. When near-total automation kicks in, there will be little reason to live in reality. It's going to continue on this path unless we treat video games like a recreational drug. Or if society collapses before the automation revolution.SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SIG SlG- Boards

Divorce in the US, from what I can remember, has always been an issue. And numbers from studies do give an indication of something. But divorces can also be mutual and not vapid. I maybe my fault for miss wording my post; I was more asking is marriage itself that bad? Are there really that many people unhappy in the marriage experience itself, that younger men are feeling that they just don't want to bother with the concept at all?Is marriage really that bad now?
However, about 40 to 50 percent of married couples in the United States divorce. The divorce rate for subsequent marriages is even higher.
That is for 2016. I assume it will only get worse as time goes on.
There's also the fact this stat factors people who are have gotten remarried after a divorce because people who get a divorce are also more likely to get divorced again. Complaining about marriage because of the divorce rate is silly because there's far too many factors and people getting out of bad marriages is a good thing.one weird thing I've noticed about BLS data
the labor force participation rate for 16 to 19 year olds has plummeted and it seems mostly unrelated to the great recession
prior to 2000 it was consistently above 50%, but since the dot com bubble burst it has consistently gone down -- right now it's only about 35%He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor.loss of the family structure is the 1st domino to fallTmaster148 posted...thanosibe posted...

1) Divorce rate is like 90% these days.
2) Marriage is geared towards a woman, and gives her the right to manipulate her husband at the cost of his comfort, his social reputation, and how his children perceive him. A married man's entire existence is reliant on how happy his wife is -- no one cares about him.
3) Divorced men on the other hand, are given free reign to focus on themselves, but only after the court system has taken everything away.
So, untill this changes, men are better off just focusing on themselves. Not by sitting around and doing nothing, but by formulating a relationship with their dreams and ambition. Today, women just get in the way.The problem is not the constraints of the retail market, it's the constraints of an executive's brain. - Jim Sterling.Speaking from personal experience, I find that I just get depressed when real life hits me up. Sure I go out and have fun with my friends, but dating is pretty much nonexistent. I'm not a bad looking person by any means, maybe a 6, 7 tops out of 10, but people expect way too much when it comes to dating.
I don't get much time to go out and have fun as I have too many bills to pay. I was one of the lucky ones to have his family help pay for a mortgage on a house, so I don't have to worry about paying off someone elses mortgage, but even still, I'm working a good 6/7 days a week and when I'm done I just go home and sleep or play the odd video game.
And unfortunately my dating life has been strict to dating websites like POF which is an experience in of itself. The two main women I seem to attract are the ones who have already had kids(which I don't mind, but it usually also has them not taking care of themselves because they can't afford it. Last woman I went out with had broken teeth and rotting teeth), or crazy women(A woman literally asked me to get her pregnant on the 5th date and when I said no she sent me a fairly lengthy message on PoF of how I will never be happy and that I'm scum)
It doesn't help that I don't have a great job even though I've been to college a couple times(but never finished due to having extremely bad attention issues which the professors didn't want to help out with.
But I digress. I myself just find myself a lot happier when I'm sitting at home alone(or with a friend) as stuff like POF and the real world have just about drove me over the edge.
I'm taking a break from POF to get myself back in sorts for a little while, probably 2 years, after I finish up my business course which I'm doing online to keep distractions to a minimum.Conflict posted...AlephZero posted...

Like gunfireThese topics always make me laugh. What industry is poised to grow in the coming years? Healthcare.
Baby boomers are getting old now.
There are SO many careers in medicine that are stable and well paying, and there is a variety of "levels" if you don't want to stay in school forever like a doctor. Physician Assistants make 80-100k/yr and only go to school for 2 years post undergrad. Nursing is an undergraduate program. So many different kinds of technicians like respiratory technicians, surgical technicians, etc have their own specialized programs requiring no college (I believe) or if they do, then it's like a 12-18 month type of program afterwards.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, you name it. So many different options for different backgrounds and interests. Healthcare is like 10% of all employment. Always ignored in these conversations.
Maybe if CE didn't fixate on like the same three career options, they wouldn't feel like there is a lack of good paying jobs. Admittedly, it does take a bit of a "reality check" that maybe one's career should be something that's both needed and in high demand in society.
It's not always the case, but these discussions often reveal one key point: terminating at the bachelor's level is rarely enough for the majority of real "careers." To expect a "job" out of undergrad if you weren't specifically trained for one is a bit risky. Higher education doesn't always guarantee better stability, but often times, the real careers do require it."He has two neurons held together by a spirochete."JerickoX posted...Laughing at the truth?

http://i.imgur.com/mfuN9AI.png http://i.imgur.com/ZYPfDmJ.jpgPutting it another way: college is merely the stepping stone if one wants to go to a white collar professional program/school. Otherwise, trade school is probably better.
Stop at the bachelor's level and you're just "undifferentiated" in terms of marketable skill sets. Sure, you can gain that work experience, but that takes years or decades to develop, and is difficult to even get a foot in the door during austere times such as these.
Going to college for the sake of it is a great ideal, but treating it as a means to an end as a job is bad. In economic high points, someone can get away with it. But not right now. To adapt means to necessarily go into a program with specific training in mind (like a lot of careers in the medical field)."He has two neurons held together by a spirochete."Soviet_Poland posted...Physical therapy, occupational therapy, you name it.

Many unemployed men who did manual labor say they can’t take the time and make the effort to train for a new career because they have bills to pay. And they say they chose their original careers because they wanted to build things, not take care of people.
Lawrence Katz, an economist at Harvard, has a term for this: “retrospective wait unemployment,” or “looking for the job you used to have.”
“It’s not a skill mismatch, but an identity mismatch,” he said. “It’s not that they couldn’t become a health worker, it’s that people have backward views of what their identity is.”
Jon Ray, 31, of Inez, Ky., was an electrician at a coal mine until it was shuttered a year ago. He applied unsuccessfully for maintenance and repair jobs, and got a job in manufacturing after enrolling in a program to learn how to operate computerized tools.
Service-sector jobs weren’t an option, he said. “I couldn’t afford to go back to school,” he said. “And I’m used to working with my hands.”He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor.Leanaunfurled posted...JerickoX posted...

We're not all innocent lambs, but neither are men. There's a lot of f***ed up s*** in the legal system concerning marriage, divorce, child custody, and much more that people take advantage of and where innocent people get hurt. Happened around me as a child, but it was my dear daddy doing the damage and not my mother. There's a lot of sexism and double standards for both parties, in different ways, that screw us over. As I said, extreme bitterness and pessimism, especially concerning a group of people like an entire gender, is never the answer and hurts a whole lot f***ing more than it helps anything else.

My point is that it's really high. But, I am anything but bitter. If anything, im choosing to opt out as a pretty attractive dude, fit, and very confident. This is from personal experience with modern women. If you're not 100% healthy, or have a well paying job women automatically assume that there's "something wrong with you." The man can sacrifice everything, but once that douche with the BMW comes along, it's like a flash of lightning, and she's gone.

Don't become a doctor trust me
I mean in terms of balanced lifestyle and economic factors in play here, a PA sounds like a great gig. It's still a provider, without a lot of the added hassle of being a doctor.
Though that was more in response to balrog's bringing up of the point of some men considering themselves above care work, where at least doctors are still (inappropriately) viewed as a boy's club (so bypasses their excuse for not going into it).
But back to your original point, every time I feel like medicine has kicked my ass, I'm reminded that the grass isn't much greener elsewhere. At least I'll have a minimum of security and livlihood that's nearly guaranteed, where that isn't exactly commonplace anymore.

Interesting article. It's true, women have had to deal with joining a male-dominated workforce. I work in IT Analysis, when I started 6 years ago I was the only female in a group of 6. The company has grown and now there are 5 females and 4 men system analysts. Women are taking what used to be men's jobs, so it's only fair if men do the same.

A man shouldn't persue a career just because. That is a sure fire way to lead into a life of failure, depression, and regret. You sound like someone who's been given opportunities from birth, and are quick to shame other men because too bad for them. You sound like a very snooty, elitist snob who's never had to try. No respect buddy.
Also, most people cannot just "man up" and become a doctor. Medical school is reserved for the rich, spoiled, and gifted. So quit pretending like it's just another profession for people to choose from. Life factors, circumstances, and just general luck play into how a man turns out. Women can supersede all of this by marrying up. Men are stuck with the hand they're given, so they're better off going all in (towards a dream), than playing for scraps (a stable paycheck).
A p**** is someone who chases a paycheck. A man follows his dreams.

You're making assumptions that they are single and just didn't wear their ring. I don't wear my ring every day, for example.
Also, spotting a few supposedly-single women with kids in a grocery store is not a testament to divorce rates.

That is a sure fire way to lead into a life of failure, depression, and regret. You sound like someone who's been given opportunities from birth, and are quick to shame other men because too bad for them.
Eh the second part is absolutely false. I was born into a really poor family with an early death, compared to my upper middle class peers that were "groomed" for medicine since birth, I went into it [originally] with noble intentions and had to break through a lot of barriers to get here. I worked full time through college on top of studying to get in while my "richer" peers had their parents pay for all of their living/food/expenses on top of expensive "prep" programs to ensure high success on entrance exams and the like. I basically had to network my way into even being given an opportunity to be looked at as an applicant.
Medicine is kind of a f***ed up field in its own regard though, and no one should pursue being a doctor for money alone, because you're absolutely right--they'd be miserable.
But my point wasn't centered around doctors only. Medicine does have "a little bit for everyone" so I'd find it hard pressed someone can't find a small niche inside where they'd at least enjoy it. Like technology/computers? Boom, radiology technician. Play with giant magnets and cool machines all day. There are like a hundred different options, doing a variety of tasks, some with patients, others not.
Basically, following your passion 100% leads people into possibly finding out there really isn't a market for that. People who "chase that paycheck" are equally unhappy. I think a healthy medium is going into the most "realistic" career that you enjoy that is also high demand. It may not be your #1 passion, but it affords you the ability to pursue certain passions as hobbies on the side. As long as you can more than stomach the "negatives" of the field, it's a recipe to balance the life stress of not making any money or the volatility of certain job securities versus pursuing what you want.
Sorry if that came off as snobish. I just want to stress we all grew up in an environment where we were told to chase our dreams, and so we necessarily have a bunch of bitter individuals who refuse to switch now, but complain at their lack of opportunity. I just think it's a bit more mature to compromise on that a little bit, and don't necessarily just pick a career "just because", but pick the best fit possible under these austere circumstances.
If someone wants to be a screenplay writer, it's much smarter to become a contract lawyer and try and work in the performing industry to network your "side work" to make that happen.

You start to get a good idea of what kind of people you're witnessing.
The issue is that you think we're bitter, when were actually speaking from experience. If we were bitter, we'd be trying to find "the one," while whining about how "all the good women are taken." Sound familiar feminists? Yeah. Lol.
