Study shows young guys won't grow the fuck up



I liked the last part:

One way of treating young men, after looking at the strengths they've exhibited in the past, Adler says, is to encourage them to become behaviourally active.
"This means they take on small challenges to begin with. Happiness comes from a sense that you're making progress toward goals.


That's what happens when you raise a generation of wimps, whose parents protect them from any and all bad feelings whatsoever. Can never fail, never lose, never feel disappointment, nothing.
 
Added this to my collection of motivational materials.

I had a friend from high school who dropped out of college his first semester and did nothing but play video games and mooch off of his single, disabled mom for 5 years. Then he accidentally got a girl pregnant, and it's like some switch went off in his head and he's actually productive now. Seemed related.
 
Another peter pan propaganda piece (written by a woman).

A man needs to be self-sufficient. That’s it!

He does not need a university degree, a marriage certificate or a family. Those parts are optional and in no way denote that he is more “grown up.”

Don’t sacrifice yourself for the good of society. Act according to your internal compass. That is a trait of manhood.

I do agree, but the bigger symptom is man-children who sit around and eat cheetos and play WoW all day and at best work at gamestop or have no job while living at home is a big problem.

Independence is the biggest trait needed, not a wife and kids or other bullshit

+2. In other words, in today's world money makes the man - and nothing else. Any feminazi that tries to shove a "you need to shoulder such and such responsibilities to be a real man" down my throat can fuck off (e.g. marriage). My only societal obligation is to pay my taxes.

That's the spirit. Bitches dunno.
 
We can "idealize stupidity" because we actually know its a joke. I understand not everyone will "get" jackass and all, but the real stupidity is shit like "Real Housewives of New Jersey". My god...

like I said, independence is #1, and with money comes independence, so money is big of course.
 
I love how all these articles are written by women.

That's because the men are all too busy getting drunk and banging waitresses to write hand-wringing articles.

Also - I can personally attest that fatherhood has nothing to do with growing up and acting like a responsible adult. I'm sitting writing this with my daughter on my shoulders, having stayed up until 2 in the morning playing computer games and gotten up (with her) at 10AM.
 
the same can be said about women.... i met a lot of 25 - 28 year olds who communicate like 12 and still going crazy for Justin Bieber... go figure

Ha, I think its more of an issue with parents trying to protect there sons from the evils of the world and everything is handled and taken care of by mommy and daddy. I don't feel sorry for theses pricks. Get the fuck up and work. I had a single mom, and no dad around and I didn't sit and cry. Fuck it that's life man the fuck up and make something out of yourself.
