Well, that touches on how people are getting married at higher ages than in the past, and how many more people nowadays never get married at all. And how even when they do marry, women end up having fewer children in their lifetime than in past decades. There are various cultural and social reasons for that.

“1 in 3 boys grow up without a father...”

I wonder what happens to that number if you exclude blacks from the count?

How many White boys grow up without fathers? How many Asians?

... porn. Men are being destroyed by the addiction.

Absolutely! And, by extension, families,... society. So shameful.

If I chose to come out of retirement and go to work either locally on site or work from home (wfh), I’m going to have to put up with endless stupid meetings, social justice seminars, racial justice seminars, micro management by someone more than half my age, participation requests, endless Slack chats, in a week I’ll get about 10 min of actual work done and then have Uncle Joes weaponized IRS take half while massive inflation turns the rest into toilet paper…so why bother.

I Xbox a bit, not a lot, the other thing is non of anyones business. I read, take care of my lovely home, cook, clean do laundry…it’s actually a great life. I leave the rest to the wolves, call me when these “interesting times” have passed.

Not shameful, planned. Look at any game, website or commercial and how many beautiful half naked women do you see? Where do you think men have been programed to go? The porn industry and destructive addictions.

Nope. Not it.

Toxic females are the cause, and gynosociety is the cause. Unrestrained hypergamy makes it worse.

Not on World of Tanks Blitz.

I really really suck at that game. But I still play it all the time.

Good comments.

I wouldn’t expect a blog site called “Game Quitters” to give a balanced viewpoint. They tack on porn to gamers. If you want to make anything look bad associate it with porn.

Look up Seeking Arrangements, Tik Tok, or Female Dating Strategy to see what boys are dealing with. Visit a family court. See the books assigned for reading in school.

To all the posters here criticizing gamers, is playing golf, playing tennis, attending a sporting event, watching sports on TV, working in a wood shop, attending car shows, or even reading; morally superior to gaming? Anything can be done to excess.

To Boogieman specific post, I worry about the game manufacturers making the games more Woke by changing the scoring. Your tank will perform better if it is green and you have a diverse crew. Maybe it will be like China, where games are available during a limited time or you only have a limited amount of time per week to play on gaming sites.

I find it humerus that anyone could think that their own generation is/was free from porn. The most successful business throughout all history has been porn in one form or another both illegal and legal. Even more humorous is the idea it can actually ever be eliminated. That dead horse has been beat to death many many times over. Simple reality of human nature.

Oh sure you can pal. I said the same thing too.

I thought I had it under control. I’d check out a few conservative sites, ya know ‘’just a peek’’ now and then. Nothing big. “I can handle it’’ I used to say.

Then I found “Free Republic’’ and man! It was a gold mine!. Great stories, insightful commentary, fellow conservatives to talk to.!
Well now I can’t seem to stop. Gotta have have my ‘’fix’’.

I’ll stop. Someday. Maybe.... :-).

“So these guys have lost any motivation to become independent adults. That’s very sad.”

A similar phenomenon is occurring in China called “Lying Flat”.

I generally don’t recommend videos but this one is worthwhile. At least watch a few minutes of it just to see what I mean but I think you’ll find it interesting enough to watch the whole thing.

I have yet to actually know a “real” man in my life. I thought I knew several. I was wrong. Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m not saying they’re not out there. I believe they are. I must attract the wooses. At least I’m hoping that’s it as I don’t like to believe there aren’t any out there.

What is a real man in my humble opinion? I’m so glad you asked.

A real man (short list):

1. Knows, loves, accepts and lives his life for God through Christ.

2. Places his wife/family right after God in his life.

3. Places the needs of his loved ones ABOVE his own wants and desires.

4. Protects those he loves and is responsible for ABOVE his own safety.

5. Provides in tandem or if necessary alone for those he loves and is responsible for.

6. Is faithful to God, Wife/Family, friends, country and community.

7. Plans for himself and for those he loves, not living in a vacuum.

8. Spends quality time with God, wife/family, friends.

9. Remains knowledgeable (OPSEC) about the world around him that he might better serve in his capacity as HEAD of the family.

10. Prepares himself and his household for the unexpected events that happen in everyone’s life and in the ever-changing and darkening world around us today. He is there to support and encourage those he loves.

This is obviously a short list. I continue to pray for those in my family and try to serve in my own capacity as an encourager, supporter, provider, preparer, wife (to my husband), mother and/or friend to the men in my life. It is what it is. Praying for a fallen world and God’s presence, a hedge of protection and overwhelming peace for those I love and care about. May it be so with you as well. God bless.

Well, I don’t think we have to worry much about woke games yet. They are really trying to make them, but they are not selling well at all. There are also too many independent and small developers who are willing to cater to what the audience wants right now, so even if the woke tech companies buy up all the big studios, they can’t control the market.
