I think thre are a number of problems:
1. Too much free and pay to play porno.
2. Feminism wanted to distance women from men. They have succeeded.
3. Young men are no longer taught how to be men. I think they are taught how to be women, and it doesn’t work.
4. Men bashing is not only “less than optimal” for a young woman, it dooms them to a single life.
5. Corporations use up too much of an individual’s time. Too many of our profesionals have little time to date, except those with whom the work. About half of our women who are 45 and have master’s degrees have never had children. This needs to be fixed pronto.
6. Corporations discourage dating between employees through many different means. The legal and career risks for accidently saying the wrong thing to a young lady in whom you have an interest are entirely out of proportion to any wrong that may have resulted from an awkward comment (to which we, as men, are prone).
7. Several companies that I can name inform their hiring prospects that being married is an impediment to a career. Those companies (some of them well known to everyone on this board) deserve a bad, early death.
8. The consolidation of schools into mega-schools, huge, monserous caverns filled with children severely limit participation by men in sports. 35 football players to a team in a school of 7,000? Shut it down and no one will notice.
9. My doctor once told my dad that golf should only be available by precription. I feel the same about video games. One of the best things you can do is to keep your children from playing video games when young. If you can get them past he age of 18 or 19 without WoW, you have done them a great service.
10. Since when is watching sports on HD TV a manly pursuit? Why would watching someone else having fun be a testosterone positive activity? If you love a sport, play it, for Pete’s sake. If there are no leagues, start one. Be a man and mix it up.
11. If you, like me, were racked up by heavy sports in a well spent youth, try competitive shooting. You can be in a wheelchair, in your mid eigthies and can go to the firing line equal to other competitirs and can end up at The Nationals. Ladies, this means you need to get your guy an NRA membership and a rifle or pistol and give him the precious gift of time at the range.
12. Ladies! Suggest that your husband join a league of his favorite sport or one that he can play. Manytimes, players do not watch others play. I played football and rugby and don’t have the slightest need to see someone else play it. Sort of “been there, done that”, I guess.
13. We need millions of men to come in to our education system. We could start with e Marine drill seargants and go from their. Currently, our education system is a female dominated system that has increasing difficulty handling normal boys. And shut off the river of Ritalin. It should be used only as a last resort for very bad cases.
14. Use of the court system to charge chldren with imaginary crimes is heinous. If educators can’t handle children, they should leave the business. We used to get notes from our teachers to take home for our parents signatures. It worked well. If a prosecutor insists on prosecuting an imaginery crime, take him out of office, by election, by recall or by disbarment for malfeasance.
15. Zero tolerance programs in our schools have turned off a lot of men to the value of education and it’s showing up in enrollment figures for colleges, whose financial interest would be served by pushing this in the academic education community.
Just my tow cents...
Now, when are you running for my local school board?

I enjoy going to a game every once in a while (once in a long while). Its about hanging with a friend or friends. Cheering your team. And hanging with friends.
I've never understood the guys who know every player of the home team, of ALL the sports home teams. Life begins and ends for them with how their team/s do/es.
Well said. Recently, at a gathering with a group of guys I don't know very well, although my wife knows their wives very well, sports came up. It came out that I don't like football, baseball, hockey, basketball etc, but I do like bicycling.
Well, after about ten minutes of hearing about what a "faggy" sport it is, the truth started to come out. I was the only one present who actually participated in any sport at all. I was less than merciful from that point on. It's unlikely I'll be invited back.
