The key component missing from many young men is mentorship. Older men have been driven out and often favor women (mostly horny SIMPs) for mentorship so its difficult for young men to gain skills as nobody offers them guidance.

That's the real answer. I could make a decent list of success stories that I know personally across about any age up to my own (low 40s). Common factor? All had their dads around as well as other positive male influences.

I think it's partly why I'm biased towards the positive side, as most of these examples are friends and family's kids, and I'm really only friends with men. So by default it's kids of men that are still around and have other men around. Most of them love me because I treat them with respect even when they are young, because that's how the men around my dad and grandad did me when I was a kid. That being another factor too, those same people are the ones that can get someone in the door. Having a network is more important than anything, because we all know we aren't getting past an AI automated HR system.

Yes a network is an important factor. For instance, my dad is successful making money but has zero professional network as his industry now relies on massive bureaucracy to gain employment in. In other words, he can't understand why the only staff he gets now are dei hires and it's useless for a white guy like me to apply.

The biggest issue facing young white men is a lack of guidance and leadership. And often its their own dads and family/friends that aren't helping them, like for example sending them to college and debt, and offering advice for a world that doesn't exist. Men have failed hard in the west, because while they were off making money, their enemy destroyed the home they left unattended.
