Anyone else alarmed by how many Gen z men are struggling?

“IDK maybe it’s just from my POV but it seems like a lot of men from this generation are struggling. We’re struggling to get good paying jobs or skills, more men are becoming NEET and are leaving the workforce entirely, every other post is about someone talking about how they’re a 25YO virgin (gen z men are more likely to be single than women by almost a 2:1 ratio), and we’re behaving like autistics due to porn, drugs, and isolation.”

“I understand there will be men from our generation that just fade from existence and become homeless. But it just seems like more men are getting shafted from society. Even I’m feeling like I’m falling out of the picture and I had a mostly normal childhood. I’m worried to see where we’re at 60-70 years down the road. Outside of athletes, quite possibly almost all of Gen z’s celebrities and politicians will be women. Whereas there will be less financially successful Gen z men and drastically more suicides. I’m not anti woman (I have some resentment but I want to escape blackpill thinking) but the future of Gen z men seems a bit alarming and depressing.”

Reddit

The top reply:

“Porn, drugs and isolation sure have cost me a chunk of my sanity. Yep, Gen Z was released into the world at a really inconvenient time. What's best is that we stick together (online if we must) and keep working on ourselves so we can overcome the 21st century's perils. I've been weathering a pretty intense period of mental disarray lately but offsetting it with meditation and video games. Training my pattern-seeking circuits to win at Halo.”

These are the people our enemies can target and get them to fight for their cause. Idle hands and all that.

China can promise them a better life. These and all the illegals that came over can wreck havoc from the inside.

The oldest Gen Zers are 26. They are melodramatic dumbasses like everyone else was in their early 20s. They will mature like most everyone else did.

What a bunch of losers. If anything this means the talent pool you’re competing with will be thin at best.

My advice:

Get off video games and social media
Get a job that you have to shower AFTER you get home from work
Hit the gym
Watch every 80’s action movie you can and act like those guys.

Profit.

So I had to look up NEET as an acronym.

Not in education, employment or training.

So losers are losers and they are whining about it? How is that different than any other time period?

Go to school or learn a a trade.

When i was 25,I was single and working a job that while lucrative, was never going to be a career. Life doesn't have to be figured out by the mid-20s anymore. Hasn't been that way since the early 2000s. These beta males need to get some sun, hit the gym, go to a bar and get some pussy. Stay off of porn sites, video games, and reddit. There's plenty of time for all of that after you're married a few years.

Ladies, if you don’t want the world to come to an end, I’d get much, much less stingy and real, real fast.

Every addict goes to his pleasure on his own.

Society didn't shaft him.

China and the Muslim Brotherhood are weakening the Western man behind the scenes.

It’s their long term strategy to take over the West.

Where did you get this statistic?

This article says 1.9% identify as trans

The oldest gen z is like 25. He probably expects VP of a division and a 6 figure salary as an entry level position

You have to wonder how many of the Gen Z males grew up with fathers in the home

If their parents had let them struggle with simple, benign problems at a young age they would be capable to better handle big problems.

The US is home to the worst parents on the planet, thanks to American liberals.

Every generation thinks they have it worse than the previous.

My advice: Stop whining and do something about it.

I was in college and picking up sorority girls at the bar in my early 20's. Had a degree, my career, and owned a house by 25. Got married and had a kid on the way by 26. Zoomers are some weak arse pussies.

If China openly announced “we’ll give 200k, asylum, and free romantic matchmaking services to any young man who wishes to do our bidding” this country would fall in a week.

Men only want like 3 things:

-Opportunity
-Sex
-Attention/validation

When society impedes the ability for them to accomplish these things, bad things result.

Britain recently had a scandal where ex-RAF pilots were teaching Chinese military pilots how RAF planes operate, as their pay was like 200k USD for 6 months work, which the broke-arse UK could never match.

This makes me think of those HS kids kissing feet and other body parts as a fund raiser. Everyone is after the administrators and teachers who staged this stuff. I'm having trouble with the brains of the students.
If you tried that program with my 9th grade class back then, instructing them to:
"Donate $10 to this charity or lick my feet" there would have been these responses from the 800 kids:
Upper phase 400: 'Uh, No.'
Lower phase 400: 'frick that shite!'
Compliant: Zero
