So what's the endgame? I feel like living in modern, western society as a man is about as fulfilling as washing dishes or scrubbing a toilet. Essentially, I get to work my job, pay my taxes and shut up.

There is no path to real ownership. House prices exploded and even if you own a house you pay exorbitant taxes in some places. You're looking at an income tax of 20 to 50% in some countries in the EU, for example, if you count all the mandatory government dues and fees. Then the state of modern women and relationships discussed here and in other subreddits frequently. It seem to me women care less about men each year. They don't really need us anymore for anything really and they're letting us feel that more and more.

I mean more power to them but what purpose do we have anymore as guys?

I've done military reserves and am a trained soldier. For example, I don't know if I'd risk my life for this nonsense if it ever came to being attacked. If the muslims take over at least their women respect men better and they still value the nuclear family. Why the fuck would I go fight for my bank account balance and being treated like dirt by women?

I also tell young men to stay away from military service. If you wanna be a hero go join your local fire department or something. Help those immediately around you in our community.

I'm not even sure I want to keep doing my corporate job. Just do something that's more fun and make just enough to scrape by. Minimize the amount of tax I pay and enjoy life. If I have more time to spend in the gym and perhaps learn to play acoustic guitar at the meadows down by the river, probably women would appreciate me again all the sudden and I'd likely get more action than now.

What the fuck am I getting up for in the morning again?
