Dis someone shrug?
Because most people are vapid morons?
If I am not dateable, I only need to provide for myself. As long as I’m doing that, I’ll be fine.
So, that might mean that I only work part-time and enjoy the rest of the time.
That’s basically what’s going on.
Historically, a lot of young men went off prospecting for gold, or became lumberjacks, or went to sea hunting whales or trading with China. Men don’t always fit into “normal society” and some sort of release valve is needed. Colonialism was also useful in this.
Today, most release valves have gone away. Video games in Mom’s basement is the next best thing.
Fine, if that’s what they want. Unlike the queers who force their beliefs on others.
Women’s Libbers can do that to you...
Maybe when you are discriminated against, and blamed for discrimination, you decide enough is enough.
My stepdaughter sometimes does delivery runs for the McDonalds she works at in Japan, and said she has delivered orders to males who (to her) are clearly hikikomori, including a couple males who say pretty directly to leave the food order at the door and they will get in a few minutes.
Making a broad, general assumption of the men involved, this is probably a good thing.
Nothing a world war can’t take of.
I read that even China has this problem.
Considering how men are being treated these days, I can see that happening easily.
Men have been despised and mocked and ridiculed for decades. Masculinity, at least in men, has been disparaged. Small wonder men don’t want to interact with *society*.
YouTube is filled with videos/podcasts about toxic young women (with these women on the shows). They all believe they’re “a 10” yet believe the average guy is “a 3”, and 90% of them go after the top 2% of men.
When I say “top 2%” I mean:
- $200k/year or more
- 6’1”+ tall
- Very handsome
- Makes you laugh
- Spoils you
- Treats you like “a queen” always
- Is sensitive
- Honest
- Loyal
- Etc.
When you ask the same women “what do YOU bring to the table?”, all you get is “me! I’m THE prize”. They’re all “me me me!”. Can’t cook, cleaning is beneath them, etc..
This all means that the average (”a 5”) guy gets *very* little attention and they’re giving up. Even if you could attract one of them, why would you want to commit to that?
Now, I have a daughter in-law, that has notified my son that she wants to separate. They both make good money (not the problem), have two great girls (5 and 7), get along, no infidelity, no abuse, etc. - she even tells him “you’re still my best friend”, acknowledges he’s the best dad ever, and is great to her. She’s 36...and seems to think that she will be able to go back onto the market, divorced, with 2 kids, and yet, somehow, get something better. She’s going to destroy 4 lives (incl. her own), the kids don’t even see it coming.
There’s something VERY WRONG with the current culture, especially for how we’re raising young women, all while going on and on to men about “toxic masculinity”. SMDH.
Would be nice to hear how these folks are getting by and what the actual living conditions are.
Is Japan like the US where, unless you are living in a box, the gov is snagging half or better of your income in taxes (that’d be all taxes not just income)?
In such a situation, it is a pretty valid position to not bother working anything over the table. Especially when that money is going to pay for “reparations”.
The Chinese are dealing with a similar phenomenon. They call it “laying flat”.

Porn and or drugs...
As an older guy, the majority of people that try to contact me are trying to get something out of me. Not talking to people is a feature not a bug.
One thing in common for these changes.
Overwhelming screen use.
That is an international phenomenon.
They aren’t sitting in their rooms reading books.
We are killing our younger generation with screens .
