Honestly, have you ever actually followed the lifestyle of an early 20s guy vs early 20s girl? Theres an INSANE difference in lifestyle. An early 20s guy would be totally okay living in a barren apartment with no furniture but you know what? A woman of his age would NEVER accept that. Women are the ones that demand the nice cars....nice vacations....big houses...etc. Look at dating profiles...women are almost shameless when accounting for income...and their material wants. A man just wants a hot chick lol. Who is more likely to drive a junky car in 2026? Men or women? I just dont think its even close that men are willing to drive and older car to save money. Its absolutely totally wrong to equate modern early 20s males to females....the early 20s women live a FAR more luxurious lifestyle over men. Employed more, higher salaries...etc. Please pay attention more.


2 way street. Men are perfectly happy being complacent with minimal material goods if sex isn’t involved.

Take away free/super easy sex (porn, dating/hookup apps…) and you’d see a lot more men get off their arse and work.

if my algorithm is anything close to correct men are being blamed for almost everything by their wives or girlfriends. If you've seen any videos on this mother that just murdered her 3 children you will understand what I'm talking about. She clearly admitted to killing the 3 children, the defense and prosecutors clearly showed she committed the murders but you have white women in all of the social media saying it was the husband/father. Young men see that and just throw up their hands and say "why would I want that?"


If I hear one more thing about the gif damned Apple Watch….

Has nothing to do with that.


It has a lot to do with it. Women and men that actually listen to homilies and the gospel and understand what a faith based family is want to get married.

They understand the fulfillment that a true union of two souls can bring and the absolute joy that bringing life into this world is.

They understand the selflessness required and the ideals to strive for. Most people never hit these ideals and that’s ok, because if you’re trying to at least approach the ideals you’re marriage and life will be better

Dating sites give women a false sense of value because they can easily get dates but those guys don’t want to settle down with a 5 who now acts like a 9. That coupled with divorce being extremely unfair to men are the leading causing of guys just accepting being single.

Healthier - after working 40 years 50-60 hr weeks? Women use you up, take it all and leave men when they are close to burnt toast. But they be plastic and sophisticated found themselves again.

And in the meantime radical Islamist taunts America with..........

We will defeat you using the wombs of our women.

IMO two factors converged together to jumpstart the decline of America. The decline in the number of Americans who consider themselves devout Christian. Meaning the absence of Christian values and the actions (or lack thereof) that flow from those values do not play a part in guiding their lives - PLUS the availability of birth control pills and other birth control measures has led to an explosion in promiscuity and therefore accidental unplanned pregnancies. To put it simply - instead of getting married they just fornicate.

Plus have you noticed the proliferation of Massage Parlors even in mid-size cities. But I digress.

And being Planned Parenthood exploited the business model to take advantage of young women who, 1) wanted access to free birth control measures , and, 2) access to abortion in the event she either forgot to take her birth control pills (hint: it does happen),fornicated and got pregnant. Then needed access to an abortion (which Planned Parenthood was ready to provide) to get rid or an unplanned pregnancy.

All this convergence of factors leads to an accumulative negative effect on demographics.

Ultimately leading to flat lining or declining birth rates.

65,000,000 aborted American babies and counting.

Well, that's certainly a cynical way of looking at that.

I can say with some certainty that not every women "uses you up" or leaves.

Pretty sure statistically married men are happier and healthier overall.
its an interesting statistic. Believe women see some increases in health and happiness whereas men see large amounts, or relatively large amounts rather

Similar to how men typically feel like they have more free time when single vs married but women tend to feel like they have less or only a small difference

Today’s “men” aren’t really men anymore. Anyone 30 and under I don’t recognize as men, the women don’t either.

This right here. Kids today hardly even know how to talk to a girl face to face now.

Since i have 3 kids and thats not part of the equations, name one thing of actual value that getting married again would add to my life?


Nothing. If you already have children and find yourself single, there’s no reason to get married. Especially if you are older.

have you seen the girls they have to choose from on social media. Majority of teenage girls till they are 29 looks like they work at your local strip club on their page. No one wants to grow a family with that trash and no values.

Women got what they wanted. Feminism is infused throughout American and Western societies. Young women are on psychiatric meds at high rates. Women are more miserable than they’ve ever been. It turns out having the responsibilities like men have for thousands of years isn’t all fun and games.

Just my 5 cents, but guys are getting the sex without marriage, so why get married at a young age? There was a time when people got married so they could have sex. Don't need that anymore. As well as other wifely duties.

Plus young women are crazy as hell.

I am very far removed from what dating a19 y/o looks like but honestly why would these dudes want to date them… most of them likely think they are influencers or brainwashed by liberalism…. It’s a lose lose situation for young men.

Yet again because of a breakdown in morality and the decline of God in society. The rise of Secularism and modernism strikes again
