[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The majority of young men these days are unmarriable.[/quote]

Young men and young women both. [/quote]

Absolutely. Gen x did a terrible job with their kids [/quote]

I can't disagree strongly enough. I can't speak for boys - I've only got girls - but I think the girls I know who are late teens, early 20s these days are frankly amazing. Yes, of course, we aren't perfect parents, and I do know a lot of young adults who are way too coddled (and don't even feel comfortable making a phone call to set up an appointment) but they are compassionate, interesting, socially responsible people.

I do think the men my age - yes, gen x - are generally quite good, responsible people, but they have a huge deficit when it comes to their own mental health and well being. They don't know how to maintain good, masculine relationships. They use women as their therapists.

I do see men in general as experiencing a crisis. Not enough connection with other men. Not enough communication and intimacy (non-sexual intimacy) with other men. They rely on women to do the hard work of relationships, and are fixated on sex.
