This is stupid. People aren't trying because everything costs a liver and a half, and unless your parents are loaded your future is grim. It's not about making an effort anymore. You have to slave yourself to get minimum wage. Houses and cars have become a luxury. Who is going to have kids if they can't even feed themselves?

It's not a man problem. Everyone trying to participate in this joke of system is facing similar problems. The only thing I noticed that affects men more than women is scams. Getting rich in a week, becoming a influencer, gambling in the stock market...cheating the system is what they are trying to do. Young men are trying to make it big, now more than ever. They know college means crippling debt and it doesnt guarantee a future. So they are looking for alternatives and many of them ruin their lives in the process. I can't say I don't empathize though.
