The real answer or the misc answer? Real answer below

Steadily declining androgen levels in males, male virility markers in general greatly decreased in just 2 generations.

Our future sons have an uphill battle as this trend turns sharper every year(the rate of decline is exponential), Coupled with the difficulty of finding the cause of all this.

It's easier to place blame on external factors than take ownership of your life.

Bodybuilding is probably one of the most insecure hobbies there are. It's not necessarily a bad thing either, that insecurity leads to a drive to be better. It just depends on if that drive leads you down a path to happiness, or foreversmall.

They just need a close supportive group of people around them such as family friends co workers etc. Some of these dudes try to find a girlfriend when they don't even have a friend or family that they're close to. Like that seems autistic to me if you don't know how to make a friend and have a relationship with them or have a relationship with your family how do you expect to find a girlfriend?

Interestingly enough, one of the only proven correlation (not necessarily causation) to lower sperm count is smoking or secondhand smoke during pregnancy. If we assume this suggests causation or partial causation of low sperm count, that means men are essentially born with low sperm count nowadays. So you guys that have wives who smoke, or smoke around your pregnant wife, need to cut that crap or youโ€™re sentencing yourself to having girly sons.

Misc is filled with an interesting subset of humans. A lot of people here are intelligent and mean well (self improvement, must work out, must become ceo 10k/day, etc.), but misguided. Misc in general has a pretty toxic culture, I think the people that spend the most time here are the ones who end up going crazy (stereotypical misc insecurity, misogyny, forever alone, etc.) because it's easy to get caught up in this world if you don't have real-life friends to share your experiences with and develop with. If misc is the only social interaction you have with other people, you're going to develop a lot differently as a person than most of your real-life peers.

Just lots of insecure guys who need to get on the right path

Honestly this a theory I've had for a while now that women are becoming more masculine and men are becoming more feminine. Some of it doesn't even have to do with sperm and test either just the way men and women carry themselves and their mannerisms for examples dudes who gossip and hold grudges like school girls.

Its more adverse selection that insecure people find the misc rather than the misc makes them insecure, so the reasons vary

The biggest cause though is an unhealthy habbit of comparing oneself to others
