No one cares about young men:

No one cares about young men.

They don’t.

Society has moved on from them.

It’s vilified them.

It’s mistreated them.

It’s left them behind.

We’re hitting a crisis point in the West.

We are getting to a point where we have an increasing number of uneducated, unemployed, sexually frustrated young men.

As Scott Galloway says, that is the most dangerous thing for society.

Women have evolved massively over the last few generations.

Birth control changed everything.

Women’s rights.

Getting out of the house.

Getting jobs.

Prioritizing their careers.

Getting educated.

All great things.

But men haven’t kept up proportionally.

We’re in a crisis because of that.

As per Scott Galloway again, the number of college graduates in the US is approaching 2:1.

Female to Male.

Double the number of women are graduating compared to men.

That’s a good thing right?

Wrong.

Why?

Because men aren’t keeping up.

If we look back to evolutionary history, men are supposed to be the providers.

They’re supposed to be masculine.

Leaders.

In charge.

But now women want to be that.

As they should.

But they can’t expect men to keep up.

Or if they do, it’s a tiny tiny number.

Here’s why it’s a problem.

The more educated women, especially in positions of power, the better for society.

But the worse for relationships.

Why?

Women are less likely to date down.

They want to date men equivalent to them or above them.

That’s hard if you’re a successful woman.

Males feel emasculated.

Their male ego is damaged.

They feel less than.

They feel like they’re not the provider.

As a woman, you might think that’s good.

But that’s really bad.

It means you can’t find a mate.

You stay single for longer.

It becomes harder to find someone.

I’ve talked to a few of my female doctor friends who are approaching their 30s.

Dating is brutal for them.

They can’t tell guys on their dates that they’re doctors.

It immediately turns the guy off.

It stops them being interested.

It makes them feel less than, whether good or bad.

That’s not good for society as a whole.

It also means if you’re doing well as a guy, a lot of women will be after you.

How hard is that to find these days?

A confident guy who’s working to something, earning good money, fun, interesting and a good partner?

A lot of people would say that’s impossible.

But I think we can get more people there.

I think we can get more men there.

I think we can get more young men there.

How?

Education.

Speak to them.

Don’t put them down.

Help them.

Inspire them.


Teach them.

Give them good role models.

Be honest.

Be direct.

Make them take accountability.

It’s what Jordan Peterson is trying.

No matter what you think of his politics or opinions, his books as guides for life are incredible.

Nothing short of spectacular.

Touches so many subjects.

So many disciplines.

But he makes it understandable.

Digestible.

Honest.

Direct.

He points the finger at you and needs you to take control.

Men need that.

They need people to talk to them.

They need people to teach them.

They need people to care about them.

We are leaving them behind in the West.

That is bad.

It’s bad for women, relationships and society as a whole.

We need people to care.

We need people to care about young men.
