Why Men Ages 25-34 Are Dropping Out of Work

[whbjr]

Working hard used to cover a house, a wife, kids, car, etc. Now 2 jobs won't cover rent!

Im so sick of hearing people talk about men's problems in regards to how they affect women.

[SwornInvictus]

It's bad enough we've been cannon fodder for drafts and worker ants since the dawn of civilization, we took it in stride because we felt appreciated for it. Though now we're not appreciated or respected in the slightest, it's the opposite. Why in the heck would a man want to contribute to a society/culture that hates him?

People can talk about the cost of living or being treated like crap at work but to be fair, we've endured worse during certain eras. Though the difference now is a hostile culture and very few good women to start families with. We did it for our family, now there's zero incentive.

[primalgentleman]

Lack of incentive. If no amount of hard work will result in men getting a GOOD woman to pair up with, then why try. It feels like a rigged game.

[JasonMorris-to]

No one on their death bed has ever said that they wish that they had spent more time working

[ic_clearly]

I'd still work hard if my effort was rewarded like it used to.

[TechWeLove]

A man without an income becomes depressed and suicidal real quick. This society sucks, because they don't value male employment. I've applied to many jobs, but never get an interview.

[michaelcooke]

The great resignation happy to be a part of that👍👍👍👍

[FaithfulFumoFan]

There's no gold medal at the end for working hard.

[andredaedone]

Working is slavery. Rich people are complaining because they have no one to walk their dog, mow their lawn, or wipe their butts. I dropped out of the labor force and I have no plans to do myself in. Suicide is caused because of addiction to something and most men that kill themselves is not because of lack of work . Not working is the result of the addiction. Feeling lonely, oh poor me, is just woke. I love being single and not working. The only addiction I have is staying healthy. Quit trying to put people in boxes

There's no reason for me personally to sacrifice 5/7 or even 6/7 days of my week for my entire life so that I can watch some pharmacy/beauty store succeed as a company. At that point you're only at the gym for 4-6 hours a week at most, barely doing hobbies, barely talking to people, barely paying attention to opportunities around you. Plus workplace politics are a pain, women start liking you cause you're the only new guy they have seen in years, and we all know what happens when you reject someone at work.
We can automate so much, why the fuck do I NEED to work 40 hours at YOUR company. If I want to take care of my family i want to hunt, plant and grow the food myself, that way I'm actually seeing that my time and effort matters.

[joeblow]

Nobody wants to work like a dog and still not be able to afford anything!

[Deezarehairy]

I'm 56 i told my boss to shuv his job up his arse
Last year. What's the point in working money is shit
And working travel costs money.
Better off budging of the government in my situation
And I don't care what people think.

Richard Reeves finally said it right: men are made redundant both economically and socially. "What are you needed for? Who is relying on you?" People need to be needed. Society hasn't shifted expectations to accommodate men.

This has been a human cataclysm in the making for decades.

[poobado]

America caters to woman and ignore as men. Are these outcomes really surprising?

[buckaroobonzai]

I don't want to work hard to have a family anymore. Mine was aborted against my will and then I lost thousands and was blamed for everything.

90 percent of women are carbon copies of my ex.

This is probably being done systematically anyway by the elites... Who the women vote for.

Even in this video, you whined about how this is "bad for women". At this point, I no longer care.

Women only care when men aren't buying them things.

[braskabani]

Is better to be a slave at work making someone else rich??

Traditional marriage lowers crime and poverty.

From day 1 you must save for retirement. Period. All your working years it will grow. Never let a company have you by the balls. If you get layed off or they shut down you will do just fine. Don't be the guy that's broke. The reason we never had kids was because I never trusted any company I worked for. Corporate greed has destroyed this country. I retired at 55. You come first.
