Why are men broke?

GlobalDynamicsEureka · 2020-08-16T19:00:24+00:00

They are attending post-secondary education at a rate lower than women. We are heading toward a future where we are the breadwinners. The only way to change this is to stop settling for men who don't invest in their own education (trades count). I'm not saying college is for everyone.

There are so many middle aged men who are chronically unemployed and living off their parents. It's so bizarre.

They feel entitled to not do housework when they can’t even pay the bills

There’s no logical answer. Men just feel entitled to everything. It’s hilarious that broke, boring, insecure, man-children think they deserve beautiful women. They put in no effort to be interesting, develop integrity, or a good personality, bolster their careers, or find real hobbies aside from watching anime, playing video games, watching porn, and browsing the internet. Man-child culture is in full swing.

They chose to be. Lots of unskilled scrotes can find great paying jobs. They spend it on OnlyFans,strippers,escorts, video games, gambling etc....

There’s always a reason. Some are entitled, mothered by their parents so they don’t have awareness of spending.

Some are truly broke, even though they work multiple jobs, and don’t have access or don’t want to further educate themselves.

Some have money but just don’t want to spend it on you.

The provider mindset is not one that all men have. The ones that do have were either raised by a two parent home, saw the father/grandfather providing, or maybe was raised by a single mother and he provides because he knows what a woman goes through.

The ones who don’t provide are def making a choice to do so. And with choices come consequences. Because women are capable of making some money, a non provider is usually a turnoff, given all the extra duties a woman takes on when she agrees to be in a relationship.

Anyway, the question isn’t really why men are broke, but why do men either choose to be broke or choose to not provide. Because they are bum ass men.

That’s why we have the term LVM (or NVM).

They are completely their own breed of male and I do not care to analyze their shortcomings and astounding sense of entitlement. (Although I certainly used to)

There are HVM out there. I see them in my family and at work and on podcasts.

Put blinders on for the LVM. Identify and eliminate. Make them invisible like they deserve to be. They don’t deserve any attention, sex, nudes or dates.

Don’t think about them, wonder why or how they can behave the way they do. Focus on the good guys in your life and believe in it for yourself. It may come; it may not. You’ll be fine either way.

Many of the LVM I have known were broke due to their spending habits: drugs, alcohol, taking out multiple women, gambling etc.

Last week I heard an unsubstantiated story about big tobacco in the UK that stated the government received vastly more money from tax on tobacco products that went into government coffers than it spent on NHS medical care for tobacco use related illness. And this was the reason why the UK government was not more restrictive on tobacco.

Let’s just say that’s true.

A major theme discussed on FDS is women’s social programming that in part, is carried out by corporations and reinforced by governments through policy and legislation. Women are definitely groomed and controlled to be “women” that want men, children, big white weddings and all the products and services that go with that lifestyle. The unspoken reality is that women’s reproductive output is the foundation for a society’s continuation.

So as marriage rates plunge, divorce is standardized and all the other indicators that illustrate that more people are single, and in general, are having less sex than ever -you just gotta ask why? Who’s profiting and what was the cost/ benefit analysis.

Let’s unpack broke men because they are definitely a factor in this phenomenon. Suffice it to say while individual economic choices made by men are important they don’t tell the whole story.

Without getting into controversial, conspiratorial ideas about machinations from a dark state that rely on excessive sympathy for the poor menz - basic anecdotal evidence shows that vast legions of men, doing men things, buying men products is really profitable. And it’s easy to see for a variety of reasons why a legion of men addicted to substances, screen fantasies and misogyny is (just like the big tobacco example) more profitable than policy and products that encourage men to individual success and the commerce and taxes derived from that. Government and corporations probably make way more money this way and broke ass men is just side effect that doesn’t effect the bottom line.

So just like we can all see how pickmeishas are built from the ground up because there is a socially enforced menu of normative bad men and terrible relationship choices- men too are influenced by a consumer culture that keeps them moneyless and paying into the imperial widget factory of fantasies/substances and broke bros forever lifestyles that’s currently running full speed at Patriarchy dot Inc.

Personally, I believe there’s a complex interlocking set of reasons that in a generation transformed men from self sufficient apex earners with all the fixings to broke ass, fat ass, unwashed haters etc etc etc.

It’s not women for sure. Women’s economic, education and political gains of the last few decades didn’t create sad sack Danny the incel or Mack the MGTOW. Socioeconomics is not a zero sum game- the economy is not a finite pie where someone gets a bigger slice at the expense of someone else.

A more reasoned explanation for broke men than individual choice or blaming women is to follow the money like in the big tobacco example. Are broke ass men profitable? If so, then to who and why?

because there are women who will still be with them. if they all stopped they'd step it up. it's their only motivation many times. so pathetic.

They're lazy. Naturally, biologically, evolved, raised and fully supported by every men to be lazy. Their motto is spend as minimum effort to gain maximum benefits. It worked in the simpler times. Just do the bare minimum: Work and you'll get money, wife, children. But now? Hahaha you wish. You can have money and still not have a wife. You can have a degree and still not get a job. Bare minimum isn't enough anymore. This is the era where not only you have to work hard, you have to work smart. So only a few men are capable of it, the rest just drop out because it's too much effort for them.

That's why the future is female, because men are weak. They give up at the first sign of trouble. Women on the other hand, never give up and never stop wanting to improve themselves. Men doomed themselves by their laziness. They'll get their karma for enslaving women and minorities for thousands of years.

The last date I went on he had missed spots of facial hair when he was shaving and has like some dripping blood. I’ve never seen a worse shave job or even noticed before. It was that bad. He had no muscle mass and was thinner with a belly. He was so pale. I’m very pale like the palest person ever but his coloring looked kind of sick I’m assuming because of not being outside during coronavirus. He has his hair styled like the 90s. His clothes were ugly and his t-shirt was pilled. What did I think of him? Not joking I was like okay well I’m not as physically attracted as the photos but he seems like a really nice guy and I want to get to know him. He had me pay for myself and the told me how fat I am and how wishes he could like me but he can’t because he is just so disgusted. I’m not fat FYI. Not thin and i do feel fat a lot of the time, but not fat to other people. This guy had the worst personality and was so mean to me. He had absolutely nothing to offer and I have no idea how men get off thinking they can objectify women like that. This guy had nothing to offer. I am not being conceited but I’m super pretty and I have a really nice body despite not being stick thin. I was so far out of this guy’s league. And he truly believed he was god’s gift and that because I was not stick thin like a model that I deserved to pay on the date and be insulted. What did he think I was actually going to be perfect in every way? It’s like he was expecting me to be a supermodel. It was absolutely absurd. I even explained to him I’m not anorexic and women’s bodies hold fat differently. This guy just kept going and going and insulting me and telling me all the things he specifically hated about my body. I do think he was gay though and one of the men who are legitimately just not attracted to women. I think he had his own internal like depression for not being attracted to women so he had to bring me down and make me the problem. That is the only thing I can even possibly do to understand this weird perspective of men with zero to offer expecting perfection. They aren’t attracted to women so they have to make the woman the problem because it couldn’t be that he is gay. Idk!!! That’s my theory haha 😁

They spend all their money on porn, video games and drugs.

Myplummms · 2020-08-17T05:37:17+00:00

Because a lot of women let them get away with it, because it makes them either feel like they're benevolent or because the patriarchy urges women to have low standards. The bar has gradually lowered throughout history, but women have always picked up their share of the slack when it came to domestic work and careers. LVM are just lazy.

yggiwtmiih · 2020-08-16T20:27:03+00:00

Honestly I think a big part is the economy, at least in America. The classist divide is fucking everyone over. Even people with educations were struggling before covid, and it's a symptom of a much greater problem, not to mention a lot of men today are being raised to be coddled and addicted to video games and porn -- I'm not even shitting on them, it's honestly a fact.

I even feel the expectation to go 50/50 is a symptom of the average single person struggling, even with a full time job. The fact that the average person makes more on COVID unemployment than with a run of the mill full time job is a big red flag.

Despite this, women have an obligation to give their children (if they decide to have them) the best chance possible, so it's not an excuse to lower your standards, especially if you are looking to have a family. If you let any random LVM into your life with the intention of reproducing, you're screwing over your own kids, and your children and their futures should always be first priority.

We need to unite as women because there is a broke men pandemic going on and us women are still entertaining these fools!!

I swear if we ALL ask men to level up and demand courtship/providing, then these men will all strive for more. But as long as there’s women who are willing, there will be men who are fine doing absolutely nothing, being broke, chillen in the couch, while we cook, clean and have to sexually please?????? The audacity. I’m getting sick just thinking about it

It hurts my heart. The amount of dusties around is truly catastrophic.

Ladies best of luck to us all who are still in search of our protector and provider.
