Thats what fathers were meant to be...the ones who invest in you, while you are still a liability.

[NEMESAS]

You are one of the few coaches online who speak the truth 100% without bullshit. Im surprised such content is free

[Potato-munu]

That's why fathers are vital to society, help the young men grow.

[mr.hardtruth]

Its called father!!! Having a fucking father that cares about you and prepares you for life. Not a father who is not there or a father that works all day and ignores you

[terraflow__bryanburdo]

All too true. Young men have always been mostly expendable.

[tonycerv]

Felt this one to my core. 18-23 was the hardest period of my life mentally

Even though as a man you will get past the “useless” stage you will never ever escape the fact that as a man no one cares. No one cares about your hopes or dreams and definitely don’t care about your feelings. No one is coming to save you and no one will offer any help. You are expected to go get it all on ya own.
If ya can’t cope ya better learn cause no one gives a shit.

From my experience, Many people won’t help young men because they are afraid of the competition they can become. But help to a young woman can generate potential benefits to men and some older women .

[isoboy]

Yep it's all true, until the state wants someone to go fight it's battles in a foreign country thats the only time they are needed.

I'm 36 and I'm still trying to build a Social Circle and get on my feet been to prison twice grew up without a dad pretty lame been a rough road

[Insight-music]

Just turned 28, been on my own, under the radar, overlooked, neglected, forgotten, etc. I’ve cultivated many great skills, traits, abilities, my integrity is unbreakable, my wisdom chiseled, far beyond many of my peers. I know myself incredibly well, I stand firm on what I know to be true, Im always challenging myself and others to grow spiritually. But it feels as though until I have some form of external indicator of quality, that being materialistic virtue signals.. I’ll continue to be overlooked as invaluable to society. I’ve grown not to really care at all how I’m viewed by this world, and to be honest I’m more at peace than I ever believed was possible

[GamingSkeptic]

The sad part is that by the time you get all that together you're probably already 30 and missed out on all the fun

[fffan]

This is why we as men need to mentor the young

[spamhere]

What he's saying is definitely true, but think about this:

What if all the young men in the world (let's say below the age of 21) disappeared? What would happen to society?

The answer of course is that it would stagger on for a few years, then utterly collapse. Older men are "worth more", this is true, but as a guy going on 40, I simply cannot do the things I could do when I was 20. I am physically incapable of it. How many industries rely on young men doing stuff that would break my back at my age? How would we defend our country when the majority of the fighting force just disappeared? Sure, a lot of the officer class would still be around, but what good are they without a fighting force to lead?

Also, if all the young men disappear, all that future potential will disappear as well, and as guys like me age out and no one replaces us, who's going to step up? Women? Don't make me laugh.

So young men, the world may very well view you as a liability. Society may see you as worthless. But you are not. You are priceless. You just haven't reached your full potential yet.

This is fact. Just turned 32 and I’m coming to full terms with this and it’s a harsh reality to be humbled by and have to essentially start from scratch in the negative of where people expect you to be at this age…

[VIZIONONE]

18-24 was the best years of my life. bc i danced/ did music and got a lot of girls. chased a dream. after it was the worst bc i was talent trapped. i had to learn new skills and the novelty of being and an artist expired and relationships didn’t last. I wasn’t ultimately the type of man a woman could grow with. finally figured it out. strive to be valuable to men fellas. you got this. 👊🐺

[RitoGooby]

This makes me really grateful for having a normal boy scout troop.

[Coyote-wmop]

It’s really tough when you don’t have a solid family around you and your social status is low. I have found that attaining an in demand skill set improves that. You have knowledge that can help them when they need it. You’ll still never be in demand or make friends like a hot girl can. But when you realize ppl only care about the hot girl to sleep with her or elevate their own social circle it’s not as bad.

I’m a 37yo musician facing some harsh realities that I wish I had a father around to prepare me for. I’m still great at my craft, but want to start a family soon and need to think about retirement—both of which are simply not doable as only a musician in the new area I call home. Not making excuses—just having trouble adjusting to realities that I was never truly prepared for, and that no one wants to help with now. Been a “stud” for years and feel like I’m hitting a wall.

Which is why i do me, i prioritize myself first and will always remember that this is a selfish world, so i have to be selfish myself. Let's all help our fellow men who are in the same boat and who ACTUALLY care.
