You seem to be imputing a lot on to me without knowing anything about my situation.
Millennial and zoomer women certainly have spent their lives being coddled and spoiled. Young men, not so much.
Despite what you seem to believe, I'm not in a situation where I'm looking for a relationship with a woman, nor am I attempting to throw a "pity party" for myself. However, unlike you, I do possess enough societal awareness to understand that the solution you are offering is entirely unrealistic.
You are certainly right about encouraging young men to take steps to improve themselves. But if you think that mitigates the minefield that is the modern dating environment, you are wrong. Self-improvement for its own sake is a positive goal, but it doesn't change the fact that in any modern social interaction between a woman and a man, the woman has all the power, and all of the institutional backing. That situation is too risky for any man, regardless of how confident or competent he is.
The fact is that young men, deprived of father figures or any other positive masculine role models and having spent their lives being shamed, bullied and cajoled, perpetually reminded of their shortcomings and failures, endlessly harangued by men and women both about their responsibility to clean up a societal mess that they didn't make, are increasingly disengaged and apathetic. Your proposed solution is to continue trying to motivate them in the same ways that have led to that outcome. You're beating a dead horse.
I don't think it mitigates a damn thing. I said it's necessary anyway. Not to mention fulfilling.
As for the apathetic, feel free. Give up if you want. Stick fingers in your ears and pout that life isn't as easy as it was for boomers. It won't help. If you want things to get better, action and change is required.
Anyone who wants help is welcome. But I don't think a lot of you guys do actually want help. I think most of you like just pouting because that's safe and easy.
Once again, I'm not in that situation myself. I just empathize with young men who are, which you clearly don't.
You can bitch all you want about the men who've given up being the ones who've taken the safe and easy path, but I think that's you. From atop your towering sense of paternalistic superiority you wag an admonishing, or shall I say nagging, finger at the men who've escaped into porn and video games, not as a preference, but as a last resort. And all the while you refuse to acknowledge the role your own generation of men, and the ones who came before you, played in creating the problem that you now insist it's up to the next generation to deal with.
Of course I empathize with them. That's why I'm bothering to offer answers.
What I'm not going to do is sign on for "oh woe is me!" ad nauseum. I already have a woman and a daughter if I want that.
Oh, and I couldn't care less about porn and video games, hell I'm a hardcore gamer for the last twenty five years. You're talking to someone who isn't me. As for my generation, it seems I once again should remind you that I'm not a boomer, my children aren't grown and the only person responsible for your life is you. I grew up in precisely the same psychotic leftist hell as you but I'm doing well regardless.
And I'm not insisting anyone else deal with it. Im not demanding that someone else "hold women to account" or whatever it was you said. I truly do not care if you guys unfuck yourselves or not. You all aren't nearly in sufficient numbers as to make much difference in the coming fight anyway.
What I am saying is that any of you who actually want your life to get better, should un-ass. Those of you who like who you are and like where you're at, enjoy.
You are also talking to someone who isn't me.
All I'm doing is trying to explain the reasons why more and more young men aren't dating and aren't starting families. If you genuinely think there aren't enough men in that situation to make a difference to the future, then you're not paying attention.
You can't offer the same bullshit advice over and over again without addressing the underlying causes for why the social contract broke down to begin with. Gen X and even the Millennials, my generation, are not off the hook for letting that happen.
Telling the men who've inherited that broken contract to man up and go find a woman anyway is just not going to make a difference, and telling the increasing numbers of single, childless men that you don't care about them if they don't start a family is also not going to do anything but reinforce their alienation, and accelerate our societal decline.
