because women are shit now

I'm a 27 year old intern. I barely make rent. How am I supposed to afford to eat at Applebees?

>media doing everything it can to not name the fucking boomers

Oh no, oh dear, what a terrible mystery, why aren't (insert age group) not doing (insert action totally fucking ruined by boomers)

Because that's how shit is supposed to work Men crave a good job so they can take care of a good woman. Problem is, is jobs are scarce because of baby-boomer faggots. So men are reduced to playing vidya, and women become literal whores out sucking dick and getting cum on their faces. They hit 30 years old, they don't have kids or a family so either they write pro-feminist articles shaming men even further into a depressive pit, or they kill themselves.

Men and women are both fucking depressed. Until they both realize this and stop shaming each other, society is lost.

I'm scared of marrying a whore and having my future son dress in drag at his school counselor's behest.

because i might want to uncuck my country in a few years time

Shit like this shows that our opponents are not malicious geniuses, but malicious morons.

Fix'd

Shaming is the way the traditional values were upheld. Notice how "slut-shaming" and vrious other "shamings" are promient sins in the feminist worldview. No-shame policy is literally how we ended up here.

Sure. Why not blame everything on women? Typical misogynist.

>men are manchildren

Cuck. Where in from you have to be tough. No one will hand you a goddamn thing in this world. This phrase "manchildren" is what feminist roasties who want to cuck a beta into settling down say. If i want yo go quad biking, head to a strip club, and play skyrim, i fucking well will. show me a woman worth changing for, and ill show you a sexbot

Women have always been shit. After defeating two global powers in the 40s our economy boomed and our men grew weak. The state substituted for roles men played in the house, and now women don't need men as much as they did.

You might not have a son. You might have a daughter. And if she fights her rapist you can see her go to prison. If i had a daughter id tell her to make sure she gets raped by a white man, cuz at least then the police will investigate maybe

>They hit 30 years old, they don't have kids

>one female friend of mine made fun of a girl she knows for getting pregnant at 22

She was also incapable of understanding why I didn't share her vicious amusement about it.

We were taught how to have families but not how to be a family.

Men have finally realised mariage is the worst thing that can happen to them. Never will i ever get married, no man should ever get married. Glad my gf is redpilled and doesn't want it either

>looks at flag
>cant even find out where this spic is from because phone posting sucks

I dont take advice from the third world. Its why i often ignore my neighbours.

>>never had anyone tell me that they liked me

>>never had anyone tell me that they enjoyed spending time with me
>>never had anyone outside of family members tell me that they loved me
Have you ever told anybody those things?

mgtow pls gtfo

Being a boring guy means you are already sentenced to a lonely life.

Definition of the term is way too unspecific. Or well, there's no real definition but the way it's used.

I would say that manchildren in the sense of "refusing to grow up" do exist - only that people have very different ideas of what "growing up" means.
For me it just means that you take responsibility for your actions. That's it. If you want to spend your weekend playing some video game, why not. It's your money, it's your weekend.

I definitely do agree though that especially women are prone to using it as "a man who refuses to do as I tell him".

Nah, working class men are more ruthless, and look at muslims in the west, even more extreme than their parents.

The problem is socialisation. The human mind is a strange thing, if a person hears they are garbage for merely existing, they begin to believe it. Think about it. Who has the power, the elites or the masses? The elites. So why bother spending billions fooling the population. Why censor speech. Why not just do a USSR. because humans can only take so much, and when they come together, you'll see an explosion that cant be contained.

I can see civil war in my country.

well up for playing some skyrim in a strip club

they'd be so impressed with my khajit illusion mage archer they'd give free lapdances i bet

>Only a couple of generations ago, this traditional way of life was embraced

I thought everything traditional was bad and literally Hitler? I just followed what I was taught and checked my privilege:

>I left the job market so a woman or a person of color or a disabled person could be employed instead of me
>I don't want to get married because I don't want to oppress a woman and force her to that patriarchal form of slavery - especially now that women have finally gained freedom after a decades long fight
>I don't want to buy a house because owning something so extravagant would be like shoving my privilege on oppressed people's faces
>I don't want kids because there are already too many white, cis, polluting, meat-eating, heteronormative people on this planet

>>Find a stable nine-to-five job.
Doesn't exist for more people anymore and not everyone wants to be a fucking wageslave.

>Get married.
Why the fuck would you get married for in the first place? How exactly are the perks of being married outweighing those of living alone?

>Buy a house.
With what money exactly?

>Fill it with children.
Ruin your own existence for the sake of a bunch of ungrateful fucks.

Fuck you.

In traditional settings it would not stop at shaming. The left's saving grace is they will likely succumb to Sharia Law, in which case you will see me with a beard and arms in an enforcement capacity.

definitely in the next 10-20 years, but i'd rather see the nigger countries barred from international travel, chinks, poos and some nigger countries tactically nuked so we can keep this game up for the next 2 gens

This... is unironically my dream. When i win the lottery whores are going to watch me play video games.

A man can dream.

Women are shit
That shits expensive
We are overpopulated and need to figure out how fix the Muslim problem

cuz dei r not idiots

>How exactly are the perks of being married outweighing those of living alone?

I wonder how much longer till they transfer certain rights to married people only or increase the tax benefits.

They seem to start realizing that destroying the family unit wasn't actually all that great of an idea because they were what kept the nation prosperous (and you can't steal from someone who has nothing), so they'll have to eventually think of a way to undo the damage. And they'll probably not do it by rewarding married people who stay married, but by punishing everyone who does not marry.

Western wymin are programmed from all tv, movies, books to find child borth disgusting, scary, and terrible.

They are filled with thoughts of evil white men and small cocks, and told giving birth to white children is racist.

They are whores.

Not a millenial, but seriously, what's the point of marriage anyway?
It has no added value to a relationship.

Hilarious how Sup Forums claims to want a return to traditional values yet, almost without exception, no one here actually 'walks the walk'. MGTOW and most of the Red Pill shit is simply a way for losers to rationalise their failure in a way that doesn't further reduce their already limited self esteem.

No one has mentioned government yet?

There's so many ways you can get fucked when getting a divorce that it's just not worth it anymore.

I think that is a big contributing factor towards people just being "partners" the rest of their lives.

>It has no added value to a relationship.

A relationship is of rather temporary nature, a marriage is the promise to stay exclusive to each other for the rest of your life.

Or well, that was the initial idea behind it and what gave people a reason to marry. Obviously that is not the case anymore, right now you get some marginal tax benefits in exchange for losing half your income at a later date.

It matters not how ruthless a man is when he has no power. Look at incarceration levels, homelessness, suicides, and deaths (in combat and non-combat roles). Men have been discouraged to be men directly because of the financial boom that followed after the defeat of Germany and Japan. No man was excluded from humiliation for exercising any of his traditional roles. The "elites" just took advantage of a naturally developing phenomenon. They aren't to blame, and neither, really, are women.

War is coming. I long for it. Men should embrace this. I hope you are ready.

>Only a couple of generations ago, this traditional way of life was embraced on nearly a universal level.
wut? No way you fucking idiot. Things back in the day were shit. If not for Manifest Destiny and the gold-rush (including slave labor), the problem would appear more similar in the past, which it was if you were even barely historically literate.

They've done that in the past, at least in Belgium. Then they stopped because it meant they would get less money.

That website is just terribly designed.

Mexicans and Muslims are included in "millenials" grouping. Refugees arnt making enough money to marry and have families.

It's funny isn't it. You'd think feminists and secularists would be panicking and not celebrating the low birth rates amongst liberal whites, since now only conservative Muslim's, Jews and Christians have a lot of children and they wouldn't want to lose their demographic advantage. I guess most of them really arent that intelligent or they're in denial.

Why get married with all the baggage, our overpopulated planet, the extreme failure of long term relationships, how women demand more and more of you or leave you, or just leave you anyway.

Have children? If your wife divorces you she will make your life shit with your kids, if you get to see them, and you automatically owe that bitch support.

Marriage sucks ass, I'll reconsider it when this society sticks with each other more and aren't a bunch of selfish ignorant assholes.

>never had a girl tell me she likes me
I found out the hard way that girls don't want to be told that you like them, and they don't like telling guys that either.

Girls want you to show that you like them, and they will show you that they like you (if they like you), and it keeps escalating.

Actually saying "I like you" comes off as autistic, which I'm finding out that I did a lot of autistic shit because I'm probably autistic.

You actually DO NOT want to hear a girl say "I like you..." because 95% of the time it will be followed by "...as a friend" or "...but I feel like I have more of a connection with Chad."

That connection that she's talking about is his dick in her pussy while you're in the friend zone.

because no girl want me....

That's a promise I can make without the whole marriage thing.

It's just a contract to lose half your shit if shit goes wrong.

Get a real job.

Easy. Get into local government. City or county.
Learn how local government works too.

>That's a promise I can make without the whole marriage thing.

Yes, nowadays. Back then it meant more because it was conducted by the church and people were actually religious. It added an extra layer of assurance that the other side would stick to their promise.

Obviously none of that matters today anymore.

>It's just a contract to lose half your shit if shit goes wrong.
Literally what.
The marriage contract can provide for separate ownership of your own property, both before and during marraige, unless you buy things in common.

This argument is retarded.

This is called the self-fulfilling prophecy

You are a coward that refuses to settle for homely woman. FTFY.

>I guess most of them really arent that intelligent or they're in denial.

They just never look deeper into it. They accept it as dogma because it's their replacement for religion.
You could argue that it makes them stupid for not thinking about something so important, but it's not that they are unintelligent and lacking the mental capacity to understand it. They just don't engage those topics on a logical level but purely on an emotional one.

This thread is so much cringe. Hard to take the alt-right seriously when it is 75-85% made up of the losers of society

Im too ugly to settle for.

Go on, link yourself and all your assets to a washed up coal burner goy!

While I do understand some societal issues that do explain this trend (plus the fact that most of us here are autistic or at least socially awkward/handicapped), some arguments really are idiotic, yeah.

>when it is 75-85% made up of the losers of society
Not sure about the Alt-right, but I'd say that's definitely true for MGTOW.

>Actually saying "I like you" comes off as autistic, which I'm finding out that I did a lot of autistic shit because I'm probably autistic.


It's just too blunt for them, they want it to be more of an ambiguous game. Goes for pretty much anything involving women, it's why they enjoy a flat hierarchy so much more or why it takes them so much longer to make decisions like what they want to eat or if they want to buy those clothes or not.
They are less direct than men, and since women control the dating market, you are kinda forced to play their game. Even if it's stupid.

>implying a "stable 9-5 job" pays enough to buy a house
>implying a "stable 9-5 job" actually exists, and doesn't imply boing out of the house at 6 and back at 8
>implying that leaves enough time for a marriage
>implying all of these leaves enough time and money to bring kids into the world

There are no benefits in marriage for the man.

Change the system (take away women's rights) and the problem will magically fix itself.

>t.Roastie
When the average modern woman thinks she so above the average man that she prefers to become a single mother than marry a hard working well paid man who may not be a Chad and raise a nuclear family , then you know there is something wrong with modern women. Shaming men isn't going to hide the fact that modern women have become unmarriageable.

Boomers won't retire, no decent career paths.
Housing market is extremely inflated and filled with flippers and foreign investors.
Women realize they can sell their bodies one way or another (streaming, camwhoring, dating older men for momey) to pay for everything and modern education and media tells them to not feel ashamed about it.
Men find video games more exciting than their dull lives and they can find any sort of porn thet want for free to satisfy sexual urges.

I've got a career making $75k a year, and I'm married and have a son. Not my fault so many other men of my generation are failures, but then again, I had a great father and don't have shitty genes.

Women have always had multiple suitors, you absolute manchild. Furthermore, the data look worse than they really are because they take into account the growing underclass that is present in your country and mine.

House nigger detected.

>What she found surprised her.

Only because she didn't think about it at all. There is no reason to marry a man based on the financial stability he can provide when the state will do the same job through gibs. Then they'll value sexual attraction and so on way higher.

Which is mostly a problem because it's those financially reliable men that are keeping the welfare state alive, and if they are robbed of one of their main incentives to be financially reliable, your welfare state eventually collapses. So it i also kind of self-regulating and cyclical.

Right, because you probably made good life decisions. Most of the people here are complete fuckups, but nevertheless expect all of the benefits that come with hardwork and genuine goal setting.

>I don't want any responsibility
>I won't give the effort to obtain things for cheap, empty artificial mimicks
>I don't want to make an effort to

This is exactly what one means by being a manchild. You're essentially a kid throwing a tantrum over having to work to get something good in your life. You'd rather give up than trying it at all.

And worst of all is the fact that you mention replacements, because that means you do desire it, but instead gave up entirely on being able to get it. Possibly before even trying.

You're not only a manchild, you're also an emasculated coward. Men are supposed to fight.

Yeah I busted my ass working as a butcher to pay for college, and didn't go to college until I knew what I wanted to do.

Fuck. Who are you people spending time with?

This is one of the most depressing threads that I've read in a while.

I posted it earlier.

Local fucking government. Not going to get rich but it's an ok paying 8 to 5 job. The competition is garbage.

I've worked my way up to management in the IT department. I don't make what the national average is for job but I don't have to work more than 40 hours a week.

The last two people I hired didn't have degrees but were the only motivated and intelligent ones out of the applicant pool.

>You'd think feminists and secularists would be panicking and not celebrating the low birth rates amongst liberal whites
They've got no common sense. The funniest thing is that they believe in evolution and survival of the fittest, but since they're dwindling in number and unable to reproduce it shows how unfit they are. Being mentally unfit is still unfit.

>They just don't engage those topics on a logical level but purely on an emotional one.
Ding ding!

This is such bullshit. Only the lower class would trade gibs for financial stability, and that's because financial stability in the lower classes isn't really financial stability. Most women are still attracted to guys with successful careers and ambition. If you lack those two things, you're right, finding someone worth your time will be very difficult

>Boomers spend decades raping all aspect of socially accepted behavior.
>Millennials don't want it.
>Boomers blame Millennials for their what the Boomers have done.
So you're saying Boomers are Jews?

3rd wave feminism

Its just not worth it. Women are shit, job prospects are shit, marriage itself is shit with the ever looming threat of no fault divorce. I would kill for someone to help fill the crippling loneliness in my life. I dont now how I'll cope when my cat dies.

>Only the lower class would trade gibs for financial stability

Yes, and? Like you said yourself in an earlier post, the underclass is growing. So how is this not a valid reason for the increase in such a behavior?

Yeah I've got some friends who work for the local electric company and they worked their asses off back in the day when we used to work together. They can put in 20% effort and outwork their coworkers easy. Most people, both men and women, are such entitled cunts they don't know what real work even is.

They to smart

>stable 9-to-5
>implying women even want to get married unless you even live to their high standards
>by the way marriage doesnt last long anymore because girls fuck everyone now and that correlates to more unstable marriages
>even if you have a stable decent paying job getting a house and having kids is a completely higher amount of money

Exactly. I think it's hilarious how many so-called societal crises today are entirely self-made. People have more opportunity than ever before, yet reading the posts on Reddit and Sup Forums you would think we were living in the Great Depression. WWII generation would be absolutely appalled.

Go volunteer at an animal shelter and find yourself a loving woman.

youre doing gods work but please remember to at least take a break for sleep

Quick money + lower class values = unstable families/relationships. I'm sorry, this just isn't the evidence you think it is.

Weddings are fucking expensive, so is the ring, so is the honeymoon, so is a downpayment on a house

We don't have the money

Rent is fucking expensive

i can achieve more without the distraction of love or the commitment of children

Yeah my grandfather died about a decade ago he was generally disgusted with American culture by the time he died. Luckily he taught me about kike tricks as a child and I never fell for a single one.

I think the local RSPCA takes volunteers. Hell even if I dont find a woman I might find a dog. Always wanted a dog since my cat is too lazy to go for walks.

So, is there's a failsafe way to not have to pay alimony at all either then?

Just renting.

Housing market is shit where I live. White flight is so bad that the pricing for a house inside of city limits is stupid cheap. Less than $100k.

But a house in the suburbs with the good school district is $250k or more plus mandatory flood insurance.

Point is, you don't have to make those same decisions. There is opportunity out there for those who will simply pursue it. The average person has never had more opportunity. I'm sorry if you're too pathetic to realise that.

Did you even read the study? This was a study on the areas of the united states that had a shale oil boom and where average income was generally higher for men than for the rest of the country. Usually in an economic boom,the local marriage rate increased whilst single motherhood decreased as a result of the pool of eligible and marriageable men increasing. This was observed in all previous economic booms. During the last oil boom, the researcher found no evidence that these regions had experienced increases in marriage rates. And the single motherhood rate had actually increased. Read the study, and see for yourself.
