For as long as society has existed, it’s always been a given that men had an advantage by simply just being male. But in the past 5 years or so, things have changed, and changed fast. These days many young men find themselves falling further behind in a surprisingly diverse set of ways. In this episode we explore why this is happening and what some solutions could be.

28 thoughts on “Why Young Men Are Falling Even Further Behind

  1. Thank you for focusing on the solutions in this video. I initially clicked on it to hate-watch it, but now I’m going to look up tutoring opportunities in my area. I want to be part of the change we need.

  2. Throughout my Life it's always been females which saw potential in myself. They pushed me being more focused and divergent about education.The local Librarian. My 9th grade English teacher; some my JR College professors. The woman that helped me get yearly Scholarship and internship my choice Field. I couldn't succeed without their Support.

  3. As a Black male in American, I believe it's critical to have positive Male Role models. There one Male Teacher, Mr Bradley, that I remember from Middle School in 1970s. I was heading down path towards failure. If he not sat me down talked about importance of Education. Eve though I failing he passed me thru 8th grade. It changed my entire focus; It studied extremely hard in Highschool. And eventually made it JR College because of him.

  4. I went to school from 1989 – 2002, and it was all the way back then, that people complained, that girls are outperforming the boys. This is going on for a while. But it's now that we finally feel the economic impact. And it's only now that society reacts bitter towards men, saying it' all their fault. Back in the day it was more of a joke, now it became something really serious.

  5. Hate how this video just assumes men are "falling behind" without any citations. Maybe men are choosing not to marry and not to be rent cucks?
    If so, we should examine why that might be. Has something about renting / housing and marriage / women changed in 2025 compared to back in the mid 20th century when men were thriving?
    Has something about work / education changed to be less appealing or less rewarding or less viable to men? Has men's priorities changed? Has something in the culture or economy changed?
    Are men maybe substituting college with trade work or remote education?
    Answer that, and I think you might have your answer. I don't think men are "falling behind" at all. I think they are just making different choices. I wouldn't want to be in student debt (especially when I can just learn online for free) or losing half my income and retirement to rent (when I can live at home and have better QoL) either because that WOULD put me behind. And I wouldn't want to approach women not because of "appearing creepy" or whatever, but because I'm just not that interested in my options right now. Framing it as "men are losers" is neither productive and likely not accurate either.

  6. Can’t own a house, can’t own a car, can’t afford kids, can’t get a girlfriend, can’t even afford my own wifi, can’t afford to live somewhere other than a dingy basement, no access to dental care, no future in employment, due to ai taking everything, and the rest being outsourced. I only get paid enough to rent the clothes and tools required to continue working, and I don’t even own the choice of being alive. The people who can fix this have every incentive not to. It’s a perfect space system, there’s nothing to be fixed.

  7. 6:26 look impressive doesn't gentleman. Don't be fooled by the illusion of women working on building sites and bridges. they are hardly going to show her getting help from the men, are they. you go girl🤣

  8. Alot of it I feel is due to the fact that the proverbial carrot on a stick of success being held in front of us has gotten so far away that any young man with a brain and reading comprehension can see the writing on the wall on how their future is going to look and will pretty much say "I give up."

    You may be able to do a lot of things, but outworking an extremely inflated economy when you're at the very bottom of the ladder and starting out in the workforce is not one of them, hence the giving up before we begin.
    Why bother playing a game that's been rigged from the start?

  9. DEI ruined men's lives. Companies are hiring women and people with H1-B Visas from a country half-way across the world for the sake of diversity, not because that person is qualified for the job.

  10. I'm 28 and in this exact situation and I'm not a fan of all the solutions given being directed towards the new generation. Feels like the ones struggling with this problem right now are going to be dismissed and forgotten. "Oh well, we fucked up. Lets hope next generation won't turn out like this".

  11. Intro just described me! LOL! I am currently in grandma's basement listening to your channel while playing Fortnite! LMAO! I shouldn't be proud of that. In fact, 5 years ago, I was teaching in China during covid. My visa expired during the lockdowns and I couldn't get a new visa due to China halting visa processing during covid. I went to Thailand and tried finding teaching jobs, but Thailand has fewer teaching jobs than China and they don't hire year-round like China. So, I had to come home. Couldn't find a job with a resume saying that I taught in China and previously stocked shelves at Walmart for minimum wage. So right now my family designated me as grandma's caretaker since she has Alzheimer's disease and they don't want to deal with it.

  12. I don’t think there’s any point in talking about this. Absolutely nobody gives a shit. Feminism scored a flawless victory. I’m 54 and I can tell you I’m one of the elder losers. I briefly had hope of not dying miserable and alone but that fell apart. It’s only my belief in God and my two kids that keep me from ending it.

    Something might, eventually, be done for others but as far as Gen X, everybody’s already written us off.

  13. Born in 1985 here, growing up watching american TV shows like sit-coms for example (but that extends to other media) even in the 90s there were so many instances of predominantly dumb male characters, it's like american society was bombarding the audience with the idea of men being all stupid and/or disposable beyond redemption, the only exception being omosexual characters.
    For a long time I thought I was the only one noticing.
    Don't know if that has anything to do with a sort of feminist agenda in the high ranks of Hollywood or something like that but there seemed to be a pattern of sort.

  14. Oh Boy got lot of work to do!
