Good for you, but a lot of men dont care. A lot of men are motivated by sex and women. A lot of men, if they're going to be single for life, will do the bare minimum.

What drives economy up is motivated workers willing to do the best they can in order to achieve the best outcome for themselves financially therefore elevate their status, finances, quality of living etc, which grants access to more/better women.

When the majority of the workforce ISNT motivated, and they are doing the minimum just to survive or get by, thats when the economy is going to take a big hit.


Yeah, men have to pay rent, but you dont need to work hard and excel at anything when you just want to pay for a one room apartment big enough for a TV where you gonna play your videogames and fuk your sex doll.


Which btw gives me an investment idea. Maybe in 10-15 years, the demand of big houses and apartments is going to severely drop and the demand for one bedroom small units is going to skyrocket. Brb writing that one down




Edit: btw pussy is 100% what drives the world. Nobody would bother about driving lambos or owning $5 million houses if women dissapeared. It would be the entire male population hunting, fishing, and playing COD lol.

"Who's leaving the workforce? Unmarried men under 40 who love video games, economist says"

Exactly. What's keeping me motivated to work right now? It's solely escorts and plastic surgery. I need money for both. But if you took away escorts and you told me plastic surgery would yield zero results, I would quit my job and go full rot mode or rope

Also ..as mentioned above ...grass ain't always greener

You just don't know how to be comfortable alone..You're needy

Probably a lot of men out there who wish they could have a fresh start like you.

Prob thought like you...that kids and wive was the ultimately goal. Probably got divorced paying thru the noise for alimony and child support

You have this " when I get that I'll be happy " attitude ..you need to first be happy with yourself alone

Ken-o, Polaris, and BigDeep all basically understand this issue very well.

I'm starting to the think the retards constantly arguing me on this are just trolls and not actually that retarded

Makes a cute catchy head line but why would you ever aspire to model your life after those losers ?

Shouldn't even be playing videos games beyond highschool, shows you were their head is.

Trust me society and the work force will function just fine without them.

Look at like this. I think women, marriage and family is worth the risk. Yes it can fail, big time.

but if the alternative is being a lonely incel for my entire life, I think its 100% worth the risk.

Could you lose? yup. But being too afraid to go for it, and settle for a life GUARANTEED to be lonely and unfulfilling doesnt make any sense.

If you condemn yourself to a life loneliness because of the potential to get divorced or something, you're a coward and an idiot. The life of a lonely incel isnt worth protecting.

Because I like videogames and have no incentive to do anything different.

its also not a headline, its whats happening

It's behind a paywall, I'd like to read it though.

it says the same chit.

The point is, obviously, unmarried men and men without even the hope of a relationship are the ones doing this chit. Common sense. Men with kids or a wife have something important to work for and are thus very likely to work. OBVIOUSLY.

why the fuk are you even questioning this.

Don't ignore me you fukking retard

Yeah it is basically over. Doesn't mean it's over. Don't act like you're smart, retard. It's not impossible. It's improbable.

Possible but extremely unlikely may as well be impossible because the logical response is the same.

its possible to win the lottery but the odds are so bad you're an idiot for trying. It may as well be impossible.

If I were in your shoes, I would totally just pay some 19 year old college girl 1K a week to be my girlfriend. Not even joking, that's my plan when I'm in my 30s and I'm making 150K+

Have given him the same advice like 10 times now. Forget love, family, desire, etc. Just pick one of the many lonely women that will result from clown world that is willing to be a girlfriend in exchange of money. No bull**** about it, no manipulation or fooling anybody, just a simple transaction.

Right now, there are many women that still have hopes that they will find someone, same as men, but in 10 years itll probably be clear to anybody with an iq above 80 that **** isnt how they were taught to be and some extreme measures need to be taken

Obviously the motivation to work a chit job if you're married with a family to support will be greater than if you're single and only have the option of a chit job. I acknowledged that way up thread, that's not the disagreement.

I was literally in your position in my late teens and early twenties, and I didn't rope or succumb to mental illness like you. Keep coping.

right and how long do you think that will last? what happens to these guys when their parents die?

Paywall is just slow enough to select all and copy

Who's leaving the workforce? Unmarried men under 40 who love video games, economist says
by Adam Daigle | Acadiana business editor Apr 5, 2023

Gary Wagner is an economics professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

The growing number of people who have withdrawn from the U.S. workforce is made up of mostly unmarried men under the age of 40 who spend about seven hours a day playing video games, an economist said.

That segment primarily makes up the growing percentage who have not sought out employment in the last four weeks, said Gary Wagner, Acadiana business economist with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

That rate rose from 28.5% prior to the coronavirus pandemic to 29.8% in February.

Those men often also self-report living with a partner or family member, Wagner said while speaking at the Acadiana Commercial Outlook hosted by the Realtors Commercial Alliance of Acadiana.

“You hear this and think, no, this can’t be true. Yes, it is true,” Wagner said. “These individuals self-report spending seven hours a day playing video games. So not only are they seemingly unlikely ever to come into the workforce, if they do come back, they’re likely not very skilled.”

A shrinking workforce has been an issue for the economy for quite some time and not just the result of the pandemic, Wagner noted. The workforce has been declining for 30 years for a variety of reasons, including older Americans retiring.

Another reason, Wagner noted, could be blamed on illicit drug use, including ********.

In Louisiana, the number of people looking for work today is lower than pre-COVID, he said. The Lafayette metro statistical area has had a slight increase at 0.9%, but four of the state’s nine MSAs had their labor force shrink with Lake Charles shrinking by 14%.

It’s led to an increasingly tight labor market that now has two job listings for every unemployed person in the U.S. In Louisiana, that rate is 2.5 listings for every unemployed person.

It’s also led to an abnormally high quit rate, which is the sign of a strong labor market. The quit rate in food services last month in the U.S. was at 5.4%. Others with high quit rates include retail trade (4.1%), trade, transportation and utilities (3.4%); arts, entertainment and recreation (3.3%); and transportation, warehousing and utilities (3.2%).

“People don’t leave jobs when there are not opportunities out there,” Wagner said. “When you see more people quitting, that’s generally a sign that the labor market is strong. The labor market nationally and in Louisiana has never been tighter than it is today.”

The tight labor market is directly contributing to the current inflation rate in the U.S., he said. Of any product bought in the U.S., roughly 70% of the price is for labor to make that product, and higher labor costs will push prices up.

In Louisiana, the outlook for job growth in Louisiana for the rest of the year will be flat with the Lafayette area expected to grow from 1.25% in the first quarter to no growth in the third quarter.

The strongest job growth over the past year has been in New Orleans, Lafayette and Alexandria, he said.

yeah but somebody wins. maybe not every time but eventually someone does win. And that is why people still play when they know the odds are stacked against them. Same as any gambling.

It's unlikely you will find a gf but not impossible.

if you stop trying though, then it goes from unlikely to impossible

Now imagine if that didnt change and is never going to change. you looking forward to being an incel at 50?

No prone bone, no cell phones

Ha, thanks brah, repped.

Haven't read most of the thread since these are usually dumpsterfires, but the basic premise of the OP does check out.

Deaths of Despair are on the rise, so I would expect Lives of Despair are as well. Would be curious to see a breakdown of Deaths of Despair/suicides by relationship status.



...cheerful stuff.

So basically lazy people with no discipline and probably had their parents cater to them their whole lives. Shocking.
