A rising number of American men don't want to work

[Menna]

Man

I fought tooth and nail to rise up the corporate ladder after going to school, getting my cpa and then moving into finance. After 8 yrs of grinding I finally landed a great job and had a great boss just for political shyt and me saying the wrong thing to the wrong person at the wrong time to get me fired and kicked back down during an incredibly bad time in the job market

Its demoralizing. I know exactly what youre talking about. Meanwhile on my team it was nothing but prototypes… white and Asian ppl with very easy and linear career paths

I slept on the floor for 6 months at 30 years old after a failed first career not a mattress on the floor but a thin camping pad and a pillow/blanket in my friends small work from home office and I paid rent for it…Now in my late 30s I make 6 figures from main job and another roughly 30k from 1099 side hustle

That experience made me who I am today and at the same time changed me forever

Lazy and living off women. Their momma, baby momma, auntie, cousin, WIFE, etc.

Pretty shameful to be honest.

They just flipped the script. How is it shameful,? If both parties agrees who cares? Idgaf if a man takes care of a woman

I be damned if I "opt out of work" when I got a wife and kids.

My sons watching my wife go to work while I stay home

That is a gateway to lettin' another man blow your back out because you are basically a bytch at that point

Oh going to work ain't going to stop your wife from getting her back out because you work. In fact it makes your child support payments higher and your paying rent for her new man

These phaggots would rather play video games and comment on other men on social media all day.

Good let them not work and starve.
When their girl's back gets blown out by working class Gz let them post on on social media about being victims

My man there's more to life than just women and work. Oddly enough, keeping most women happy is a full time job itself

What’s wrong with wanting that soft boy life

 

[Payday23]

Yes, it is. People gotta stop using a LA/NY lens for the entire country. 60k will have you living comfortable in most of the country, specifically the entire Midwest, south, northwest etc.

A lot of dudes are losers who are socially retarded and have no aspirations beyond living just enough to afford rent and videogames. They can't talk to women, don't want to buy houses, don't go to bars, and largely refrain from a lot of things their fathers and grandfathers excelled at. A lot of men complain about working as if your only choice is Amazon or retail. What happened to the understanding that certain degrees guaranteed good jobs and lives. Or that certain trades guaranteed the same. We have a massive trades deficit in the country where a lot of people (specifically men) are not learning trades despite high demand for well paying jobs as electricians/craftsmen/etc. Not to mention HVAC. You can't argue this is about a lack of opportunity, it's about a lack of drive. And I will always believe a lot of that has to do with parents not raising their sons with standards or expectations. That may have worked 40 years ago when the most half assed dude could fall into a good factory job but that's not reality anymore. You have to compete.

No it won't. Not with high interest rates, insurance rates, groceries etc

Agree with the trades til the robotics improves

How many you're not a real man if you don't make someone else rich, break your back and lose time for the next 40 years!

What imo men should is do both work hard if you wAnt and take mini vacation every few weekends. OR CRASH OUT and save as much as they can to enjoy life. I hear all the time people don't want to work and that's not true. People don't want to work for shyt wages, no benefits and a bunch of bs for 50 years and get laid off at a moment notice

How the hell can you enjoy life crashed out with no income? That doesn’t make sense.

-murder rates are at an all time low in this era for both genders
-the crime rate has literally been down. the 70s, 80s, and 90s was seeing 10x the violent crime this era is seeing
-black children across all boards are being neglected (i should know i used to work with children)

you're not being forthcoming in this post at all

This reply doesn't even make sense as a response to what I said. Ya'll just be wanting to talk. Doesn't even matter if what you say is relevant to the conversation.

I literally talked about world wide sex trafficking of children and you reply talking about the 70s. What?



This is why I don't listen to ya'll. The whole thread is full of men complaining about how hard life is NOW. But when I point out how miserable life on the planet is for women and child...all of a sudden it not so bad. But but but the 70s...

Hustling and hard work will fill your cup before crying and complaining gets you a drop

[JNew]

1. Nothing in your post states that you meant internationally
2. Even if you were to go by internationally it varies from country to country, in what way does a 1st world nation have the same problems as a 3rd world nation
3. Life was hard for everyone ESPECIALLY FOR BLACK PEOPLE on a global scale the further back in history you go

The end result of women raising men
