    The other month I lost power for an entire day and it was another reminder that our modern society has warped our reality. The world we live in is only a few seconds away from returning to the 1800s. We still live in the wilderness. Humanity is very disconnected from nature. It doesn't take much to topple what we have today.

    Media and commercialism are having a major effect on how young men and women act. They have really alienated themselves.

      Unfortunately, modern women WILL treat you as a creep if you're not significantly above average looking, as far as strange interaction. Of they know you, you have to have significantly above average finances. The women I'm talking about are average to below average looking women.

      Unrealistic expectations most definitely. Especially from generations that have used media consumed as a mental map of the the world and reality. The kind that grew up and saw rom-coms as the "healthy and aspirational" standard.

      In my experience nobody takes the time to learn who other people are and most people do not show themselves enough to allow other people to know who they are. Nobody knows who I am and that is because nobody takes enough time to listen to me and I don't know anyone because nobody is willing to be around me long enough for me to know them.

    The concept of having a partner has been attacked vociferously. A relationship is a challenge as it is, without all the cultural conceptions/misconceptions attached to it. We have just been inundated with its negative side (abuse, manipulation, etc.)
    And one of the big questions is "Were we meant to be with somebody?" Is there a necessity for it? (As you point out) As hard as it is for me to believe personally, a lot of people express how glad they are to be single.
    I'm in my 30s. I've never been in a relationship, yet I want one. I'm not doing well in terms of finding a way of living I can be satisfied in. I doubt who I am and what I am fit for relationally.
    Singlehood has never really been normalized. For centuries, the cultural idea has been that of a family/legacy.
    It's really hard to deal with the prospect of a relationship because there is this cultural shift. Everything is changing and being questioned. And the idea of being in a relationship, once lauded as the crown jewel of a fulfilling life, is now being put on trial. It's tough, it's really tough. Because you have to face yourself, no matter what. And you best be happy with whoever you are. Be happy with yourself if you're single because you'll have a lot of time alone. And be happy with yourself if you are with somebody because they need you to be stable

  • @pazzy768

    As a male who was never able to fit into the stereotype of masculine culture, I find this video a little bit confusing to understand in parts. I very much agree that our current worldwide perspectives of masculinity and femininity is most certainly a point of contention, and differences and preferences should be embraced and thought of in a more positive manner. However, claiming that men and women are fundamentally different is an argument that whilst has an intuitive validity, is a little too simplistic.
    Firstly, our current understanding of gender is not well understood. Ideas such as human gender being either one of two categories are being shown to not be consistent with people’s every day experience. Needless to say, transgendered and non-binary people are evidence to show that gender amongst humans is not as simplistic as was once the accepted opinion. This video really doesn’t make much acknowledgment of people within these marginalised groups, and how the “crisis” applies to them.
    Secondly, you could make the a similar argument about two different men, or two different women, or any two humans of any gender. Essentially, humans are so diverse and there exists so much variety within our species that classifying it into two discrete categories, and assigning archetypes seems massively over simplistic at the very least, and can come across as somewhat offensive to those individuals who may not conform to the stereotypes of their gender.
    From personal experience as a male, fitting into stereotypical masculine culture was never natural and any attempt I made to force it was ultimately futile and led to me going through periods of self determent.
    And finally, I’d say that actually being myself (which is technically masculine since I’m a male) by having dyed hair, wearing jewellery and enjoying cooking (traditionally female attributes), has enchanted my confidence, social skills and sex life. When I was trying to be more stereotypically masculine, I was afraid to be myself. Most females have told me that they have found me more attractive when I was myself, as opposed to when I was trying to come across as more stereotypically masculine.
    In my opinion I’m becoming glad that gender stereotypes are being redefined, and that it’s changing for the better. Sure, there’s stuff to work through, but isn’t that the case with any relationship?

  • @lunemoon3643
    @lunemoon3643 2 дня назад +4

    Unfortunately because of the breakup of marriages that we see as a kid, we see some very negative examples of what having children means, our Mums bear the brunt of caring for the children, coming home tired and stressing about getting money from the Father who refuses to pay for his children unless their is a court order. Seeing this our trust is broken but also this is on the men's side too. People now are miserable bc they are focused on themselves and its sad. But when you have been let down too many times growing up, you dare not allow yourself to be what you have seen has hurt Your Mum or Dad. And then there is the government taxing everything so there is no way your current lifestyle could possibly stay (eat food and have a kid) No one see's it worth while to make any sacrifice even if the possibility is love. Its very Sad but its also the desire to want to be with someone unless they are a certain standard, this generation would rather live in their mind and the internet than rl life, I.E P*** but the families that do have kids makes up for those that dont.

    A few of the women I know who are 35+ are like this. Nice enough to chat to, but you have hit the nail on the end. When I chat to them I find them physically attractive but there is something about them I don’t like. It’s that they have masculine energy, very confident. Almost a little brash. I am not a weak man by any means lol but when I talk to them it feels like I have to compete. Who is the most busy, most pysicslly active, most independent etc. It’s exhausting, I don’t think men should be chopping wood or women in the kitchen, it’s more personality then activity if that makes sense . I will say this isn’t most women by any means. I am only commenting because I know a few women like this, like the ones you mention. Really made me think.

    • @johncarter7355
      @johncarter7355 9 часов назад

      I will add that although they are attractive, they only seem to attract pretty unattractive or much older guys. It’s quite weird. You would expect them to attract equally attractive men their age, but I think the truth is those men want a lady, older or younger, who is kind and loving. Being confident and outgoing can come across like oh do they even need a boyfriend, partner etc,

That is not love.All I wanted was a wife but that did not work out because I don't want success with a job or fame, I don't want to work my entire life away for things or achievements. I want to spend as much time with those I love enjoying that time. Women don't want that that guy is not good enough. Sorry I am not fueled by greed.

    Great video, this needs to be talked about so much more. I'm mid 40's and have never been in a relationship. I have no idea what it means to be a man now. I'm fairly soft as far as men go, chronic illness and abuse tends to do that. But now after years of hearing that all men are trash, are predators along with women saying they want to be independent and don't want to be approached I don't know if it's worth trying to date now. I'm not tall, dark, handsome or rich so I don't feel like I come close to meeting the standards that women talk about.

No, not all woman are bad, absolutely not, but before we get to the point of knowing what we're dealing with, you've already taken a big risk. And for what? There are all these expectations of men, but as a man you cannot expect anything from a women, because that is apparently sexist.

    What a lot of people aren’t realizing is that men and women both have a masculine and feminine qualities within themselves and therefore we both have masculine and feminine goals and traits regardless of our anatomy. I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is the fear that is bubbling over and influencing each genders perspectives of each other due to media. However, I do think the more time passes, the more complex it’s going to get. Genders are merging by evolution and producing equality. It’s not agenda but a natural process happening.

    I'm very left leaning. So I'm not completely into this defined role of what is masculine and feminine. But there is a big dislike and distain by many leftists of guys being guys. Everything gets a labeled of "dude bro" or "gym bro" or various labels thats just kidn of intend on shaming or stigmatizing guy's with stereotypical hobbies or interests.
    One that comes to mind is the increased popularity in Vikings. It's treated as cringy by many. Its one thing I've gotten insecure about. It used to be an unpopular neurodivergent obsession of mine. But now it's seen as "cringy dude bro" stuff.

    with women able to work now they think they don’t men until they need a man.run around talking about independent they are.
    Men has been independent since the beginning of time and you don’t hear men running around talking about how independent we are because we know that we have to be..
    But for all the independent women that think they don’t need a man but only when they are attacked on the road.or women and children are trapped in a burning building or hid forbid the country get invaded.
    But funny enough these independent women live in a society that men has created. The internet they use.the house they live in.the road they drive on.the restaurants they eat. Everything in society that’s has been build by a man and the infrastructure is maintained on a day-to-day basis by whom??

    I haven't watched the whole video but what you're talking about in the first couple of minutes of this video is mostly a myth pedalled by conservatives. Men are not more feminine and women are not more masculine now. There has been research done on personality, interests and occupational choices and women in Western countries are more feminine and men are more masculine than in more traditional parts of the world.
    Basically freedom of choice has made men and women more polarised because they have less in common as they pursue their own interests, but this has nothing to do with blurring gender lines in fact blurring them more might even be helpful.

    @chaospoet День назад +2

    I have to disagree. You're not wrong that there's a problem. The way you are viewing it is incorrect. By saying Men have checked out you're cutting straight to the end of the story.
    I've been trying to think how to word this for a while now after watching this, but any other way to word it lacks the correct feelings on the matter, so my apologies for that. This is going to sound a bit harsh because the reality is harsh.
    There's a world of difference between "F*ck this!" And "F*ck you!" The way you're framing this, like most people do, is we just one day went "F*ck this!" and more or less went on strike.
    Not even remotely close to what happened. We didn't check out. We were thrown out. As if we were at a bar/club and a bouncer launched us out the door to the street despite having done nothing wrong. Women by and large told us go away. They're STILL telling us to go away. They got what they wanted, but as usual refuse to take accountability for it. So they blame us for it. Which turned it from what it wasn't, which was us saying "F*ck this!" to us not putting up with it and telling women by and large "F*ck you!"
    And to be blunt we're far better off. Women need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Even yourself to a degree. You said here "She gets bored and loses all respect for you." as a casual statement like you looked out a window and said "It's raining out." Not even examining how irrationally insane that statement is and who on Earth would ever want to put up with a person like that? Keep them constantly entertained or else? How about no?
