earthwalkait's hard for me to engage with this type of content.
I really do believe a lot of young men are struggling today for a variety of reasons.
I don't like content that promotes that women are the reason for mens problems today.
I don't like content that only promotes extreme self improvement and isolation from anything having to do with emotions.
I also reject the notion that the majority of the single men are single because they are s***ty and toxic and women are just not picking them for those reasons.
this topic is rarely approached with any nuance when it comes discussing s*** on social media. twitter to be exact.

Feb 15, 2023Thank you man it feels nice someone understands. Yeah I e done a lot of good things for people and they act like it’s expected. But I never let that change me. I’m gonna continue to do good. I’ve had my issues in the past where I was just being wild but I managed to change that around. Just trying to bring good positive energy to the universe which people can usually tell.
Lately though someone very close to me ended up shooting me in the elbow over a stupid argument so I’ve been kinda like weird I guess. My heart is colder but I’ll still continue pushing through trying to be the best man I can be.

Shady AntAh, yes, that’s the problem, a GOOD MAN shortage! There’s no issue with how youngins understand each other or relationships, no problem with the Internet making people more insular, no problem with p*** destroying people’s social and sexual skills, men just need to WORK ON THEMSELVES.
How are men so stupid to not have figured it out already? I mean, it’s not like men already work on themselves far more than women or anything.
Women need GOOD MEN, and we will continue to attack them and demoralize them until their morale improves!^ exhibit A.
Cant believe women dont find you interesting.

Actually found it and its 6000 people so yeah totally meaningless and nonsensical. The fact the study doesnt even acknowledge any margin of error possible is also rather a red flag.
Shows maybe some slight implications but not more
That survey is a non issue and its only posted because op is a serial b**** that would rather complain than do anything and to be quite honest if op just stayed inside for the rest of his life doing just this instead of…oowee projecting his feelings onto any woman, he’d do the world a favor.

More assumptions made about my character, still no actual arguments.
That’s crazy.EDIT: More or less every man I know irl “works on themselves” is well adjusted, and many are in relationships. I, myself, am constantly training my talents, working out, spending more time out of my comfort zone with others, etc. to put myself in the best position I can in life.
That doesn’t change the fact that there are systemic and institutional problems to address regarding how people view and treat relationships, especially through the Internet.
There are good men, men who work on themselves, men who do everything right who will be f***ed over by this. Namely, those on the autism spectrum and who need more help and good examples to handle social situations. I have Asperger’s myself, and it is still very hard for me to understand social situations sometimes.
But people like us don’t matter I guess, and anyone who doesn’t act like everything is 100% perfect and doesn’t deny accountability to the culture that we create is a dirty loser(!1!1!)
I admit I was a bit snarky in my initial reply, but the “men are the problem” bullshit is just as harmful and played out as the “women are the problem” bullshit. It’s just people like you let one slide for reasons I’ll never understand^exhibit b

exactly what im saying lmao
any man thats single just needs to work on himself and any man thats not happy with being single is an loser
i hate that this is a gendered issue because anyone can be lonely or want to find love but people are less considerate when its men
people are less considerate when its men
Reading through all the replies in this thread, I can’t seem to understand why that is bro

I just wanna know how many men in this thread have actual legitimate female friends.
Like…friend friends. Not friends you wanna f***.
However you answer explains why you feel however you feel about this data.
Lot of yall bringing up divorce rates increasing like it’s a bad thing.
Just because grandma kept grandpa’s transgressions and second/third families on the low in an era where shawty had no plan B when it came to divorce does not mean we need to aim for that era.

I dont know why men in particular always go on with this mindset of having to „fix themselves“. Were so focused on telling men this like theres inherently something wrong with them tbh.
Maybe we should just all take a step back and try to enjoy life instead of constantly worrying about improving.
I know sounds weird when you spell it out but its like this enite selfcare help men movment has gotten to a strange point.
Like relax and chill theres nothing wrong with you (saying this to myself)

Because they think fixing yourself gon’ get them some. They do it for external reasons, an alarming rate of men go to the gym just to get p****.
S*** was way more active on that front for me a few years ago before I started working out and losing weight lmao. But also, part of that is self imposed.

Its not about the niggas itt tho its about the sentiment in general
yes this particular topic does attract a lot of losers and misogyny but catogorizing any man that talks about this as an loser isnt fair
anyone can be lonely of any gender

Of course anyone can be lonely and there is much to be discussed on how the long term effects of the pandemic socially across the globe.
But this sentiment isnt even based in reality. Only reinforced negativity because of the internet.
The studies this thread is based off of only tallied like 6,000 ppl bro!
The divorce rate increasing being looked at as a bad thing is my point. Like marriage in general is outfucking dated.

Im gay so the struggle for s***is not really existent for me but there HAS to be more that makes people happy than just s***lmfaoo. Especially cause most of it is mid anyways.
Its like everybody going the self improvement route has no idea what makes them happy, Jordan Peterson type people give them a solution and then it still wont make them happy.
And im like ok maybe we just all gotta relax and just do what makes us happy? Like speaking for myself too cause nobody got it figured out tbh

Life is meant to be lived to find your own happiness, the people within your life are supposed to add on to said happiness not be the sole reason of happiness.
The reason why I never buy “you cant generalize all men that complain” line because if you look at why s*** is how it is (strictly for men), it’s cause of patriarchy and bullshit ass societal standards we think we gotta uphold.
For example (and if it dont apply let it fly): We touch starved. So we crave it. Why? Cause homeboys aint supposed to practice any platonic intimacy with they homeboys (ayo, dash smiley, whatever).
We feel emotionally that we gotta hold s*** in. So we crave something/someone that you can let all that s*** out to. Why? Cause homeboys aint supposed to have emotional conversations with each other (there was a study during the pandemic a LOT of men reported that for the 1st time they started having conversations above surface level s*** with they male friends)
Many more things that female platonic friends do for each other all the time that they already are fulfilled in certain emotional ways.
Why can’t we seek that within our circles?
I’m saying if we wanna have a real conversation let’s have an actual REAL conversation lol.

Women do find me interesting. I have many female friends and I had to turn down an offer for a date just a couple weeks ago.
You really shouldn’t try to put people into boxes based on assumptions, it just limits your worldview and potential to understand people and things that are currently foreign to you
