What's Behind the Rise of Lonely, Single Men

[Anonymous]

If they had better male friends while working on themselves that would translate into having better female friends and relationships. Just treat people and yourself with respect.

They are simple beings. We are done letting them feel superior just because they tend to be physically stronger. We can hire someone to do the literal heavy lifting and intellectually they are useless. It’s too hard to dumb everything down for them and make them feel smart and we no longer need to!

I signed him up for cub scouts and later Boy Scouts. But there is no longer a Boy Scouts. It doesn’t exist. It has been replaced with the co-educational group “Scouts-BSA” for girls and boys.

Meanwhile, my daughter’s Girl Scout troop is exclusively girls-only.

Yes there is, it's called Let Me Run. But don't let reality get in the way of your narrative.

Also, GOTR started a BOTR program in 2005 but nobody joined.

DH is wonderful, but he's a rare guy amongst his friends.

I don’t think “we need to raise them better”.

I think society needs to think different.

Men don’t have to be the bread winner. Men can be teachers or nurses or other low paying jobs, and that’s okay.

Men don’t need to be able to fix things in the house any more than women need to.

Women actually expect men to do everything now and that ridiculous just like it was ridiculous for women.

We do?

Yes you do. There was one woman ready to divorce her husband because he did all of the dishes but he did not wipe the counter. Women expect men to make at least half of the income, coparent, 50-50, fix things in the house, do all the outside work, and do 50% of the inside work, and if they don’t, and they complain that the lazy.

That seems like a fair ask. I’m a woman and fix things in the house and do outside work and everything else on your list. My DH thinks mowing the lawn and doing gutters 2x/year means he can half heartedly clean the kitchen on his night.

That’s the problem. Men have been conditioned and babied and catered to for so long that they see 50% as “everything”, and are so hurt that a few outdoor chores don’t excuse them from everything else that they throw a tantrum about it online.

That is why we don’t need men.

Boom ... there we go damned if you do damned if you don't

He can join the track team. I don't see this as a huge problem. Slight overcorrection from when girls' activities were more limited. I do think the girls in Boy Scouts thing is stupid, personally.

You have to get a teacher or coach to sponsor an activity after school and typically it is coed versus boys only unless there is some reason to make it specifically boys only but if you actually look at the number of afterschool classes a class like afterschool basketball is going to draw 80% boys. A running class is probably 60/40 favoring boys.

Perhaps a school sponsored activity but there are many ways to put together a boys running group completely independent of the school. You're going to figure this out for your son. You've got this!

They take up 100% of the household burdens if they are alone. That doesn’t make any sense.

I've been both married and a single mom. Being a single mom is WAY easier because you don't have to also care for an adult male, clean up his messes, clean his stuff, cook for him, etc. I also moved to a much smaller place, so less cleaning and more money.

There's just fewer chores overall. And you're not managing someone - xH would "handle dinner", but I had to micromanage and make sure he found a recipe, got the groceries, started cooking on time, etc or else he would just shrug his shoulders and say "we don't have anything to cook, oh well!"

No offense but I've seen single mom's houses and it's not pretty.

The dads were too busy bossing everyone around at girls' softball and lacrosse LOL.

Is this serious or meant to be parody? I can't tell...

Feminists have been saying this FOR YEARS. But yes, white men are freaking out because all of sudden the on the floor bare minimum standard of decency they have told themselves is "enough" isn't even enough to get them a date, much less a wife.

Women can have children without men. If you aren't a true partner, you are dead weight. BYE.

No offense taken! At least these isn't a man-baby in the house to clean up after also!

God, this is SO true.

(I'm a guy), but when my daughter was switching to travel softball, it was a priority to have a coaching staff made up of women.

I don't want the coach to be some Dad who is just coaching softball because he only had girls.

Multiple times a day? For real? Breakfast dishes go in the dishwasher, and then it gets cleaned after dinner. That's 1 time.

Why is your kitchen so dirty
