A lot commenters here are blaming the sexual revolution for this trend, and I don't think that's the case (and its obviously a good thing women have more autonomy).

I look at the men I'm surrounded by in my life, generally intelligent people who are financially comfortable in their mid or late 20s and think to myself, "I wouldn't fuck any of these losers, either." The men of my generation are absolutely consumed by the drugs of the modern world; video games, porn, binge-watching low quality media, childish crap, unhealthy diets, etc. The great companies of the world benefit from this becoming the majority, a consumer who will never question the world around him.

Reject this nonsense, humans weren't designed to live in boxes, eating garbage and consuming media for 80 years. You don't need to fight in a war for your life to have purpose, there are battles to be fought and WON every day of your life. You, sitting there, are the product of millennia of genetic success, you have the tools to be great and I, personally, really want you to be.

Never get discourage! Always believe in yourself! And don't be afraid to ask for help!



I actually love this trend. Overpopulation is a disease. Hopefully more countries follow this.


I agree with you here, but there are a number of other posts in this thread that are basically saying to "pull yourself up by the bootstraps", which we know works oh-so-well for those who are in poverty.


ya that's a good point that I didn't even realize, my messaging was more geared towards people who are in no danger of starving/poverty but who still live unhealthy, unfulfilling lives. I didn't even stop to think that there are people who don't have the ability to lives of excess, let alone needing to actively work on not living this way.
