You're better off working and buying a cheap house, then working part time to cover living expenses.

I'm getting bored playing video games after 2h max... and how does being single keep you from working? I'm 34 and single and if I don't work I'd get bored out of this world... And I have hobbies that take up time (cycling, lifting, martial arts).

Would say videogames expedite the reward though compared to real life, and of course opens you up to things you just can't do in reality

Honestly, I spend $32,000 on rent and utilities a year. I have never had a guest over to my apt and never had a chick to bang over, it's just a straight up rot pad. I'd be a lot better off just NEETmaxxing with my folks, if they didn't live 1000 miles away.

Problem with drugs, is that they lock you into that mindset of hopelessness, but they certainly don't cause that initially.

It's not anything new either, this stuff goes in cycles, secularism had taken foothold in America before the first Great Awakening in the 1700s
The churches are emptied, preachers turn from the love of God to politics and worldly things, oppression increases, hope decreases
Yet, in our hour of darkness, just before the dawn, we cry out and bring the power of God back into our hearts
In God, our hope is eternal, the world loses its dark influence over us, we receive strength and mercy
We receive healing, guidance, and the prospect of a brighter future
God is love, and love is what we need to stay strong
---
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.

"Why don't men want to get married anymore?!"the media disingenuously asks, while also suggesting cuckolding, selling nudes, and sex-work are all behaviors to be celebrated in women.

(not speaking about myself, I understand that what I am posting is incredibly selfish. I'm personally doing just fine in life
)What so many of the young men of the last 2 generations don't understand, is that when you focus ONLY on hedonistic pleasure, "YOLO" type thinking, you will ALWAYS be unfulfilled.
What you need to realize is, meaning in life comes from FIRST establishing yourself as a man, building yourself up, building your career (career, not JOB), and not just being 100% self-sustaining, but having EXCESS resources that you can eventually share with a woman/family. You MUST be in this position before you can be a leader....and for a woman to follow your authority. The vast majority of you don't even meet this most basic pre-requite and wonder why nobody takes you seriously. Hell just today I my lunch break I walked into a Philz coffee and a group of 4 girls (maybe 19-20 years old) hit on me, and then after they left another girl 18-19 years old hit on me....BOTH groups approached me, and I'm 39. Girls are thirsty AF for MEN who have their chit together, and who have a presence when they walk into a room. This isn't a brag, I already have a GF, and I have a side girl in Chicago....the point is to illustrate how thirsty girls 18-25years old are for actual, competent, men.
Once you've established yourself the purpose then becomes SERVING SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOURSELF. Living this fake flashy lifestyle you guys see all over Social Media is FAKE, the people who flex the most are completely fake....or they are SELLING you something.
Get yourself out of the house, get plugged into the community, do some charity work, volunteer on the weekends to referee kids sports, work the snack bar.....serve a cause greater than yourself. Then keep building up from there, network with other volunteers, go to city council meetings, rotary club meetings, you will meet local business leaders.....this is literally how you become a successful pillar of the community - you don't need to buy "self help books" or "how to be a millionaire" overnight get rich quick scheme nonsense. You build yourself up over years, you establish a good track record, good reputation, and you'll meet great people (including women) along the way.
So many great men have built this society, and shaped the future, some people call it "making a dent in the universe". This is what you need to do, have a purpose. What so many of you fail to understand.....is if you do this....you don't have to CHASE girls anymore....you should NEVER be chasing girls, you will simply come across them, girls are VERY AGGRESSIVE when they find a man attractive, they purposefully put themselves in close proximity to you, to be near you, so you notice them. The more you demonstrate you are a competent man, with skills, with drive, with structure, the more they want to be in your proximity. As always, this doesn't mean you can be some out-of-shape dork - you have to get your ass in the gym, be fit & healthy, dress well, etc. It's a marathon, not a sprint - you will develop all the "attractive" qualities if you do what I've outlined above. There are no shortcuts to life.
So, decide to do something with your life....or keep complaining and play video games pretending like you are "striking a blow against the system" by being a loser. Yeah....you sure showed them.
