Young men believe, thanks to social media constantly repeating them the same message, that the only way out of a sad wage cuck existence is hypergambling. This text opened my eyes to it https://oldcoinbad.com/p/long-degeneracy | ||||||||

This feels like it sounds nice on paper, but there isn't really any much data justify it... Yes, incomes and inflation aren't lining up. But that has been true for a couple generations now. When you're in your 20s, none of your friends have houses, high paying jobs, etc. So home ownership isn't really a priority. You're not aware of the generational gap since all of your friends are experiencing it with you. Young people, especially men, are not great at planning for the future, b/c they think they will be young forever. I think its just men are bored. Dating sucks. Going out is expensive. Betting at home is wayy more fun than being rejected by women (on apps or in a bar/club). | ||||||||

It's true, though. The life Homer Simpson had is out of reach. The school system gives boys worse grades. Once you're a man, women expect their partner to earn more than they do, while women want the same pay as their male colleagues. It can't work. | ||||||||
