Thread: What in the world is going on with young adults??

    What in the world is going on with young adults??

    Our parish has regular attendance of 140-160.

    I've been trying to get a head count of the number of young eligible men and young eligible women over the last couple weeks. I always lose count of the young men around 15 or so. So it's at least 10% eligible marrying-age young men.

    None of the young men are ugly. Most of them are employed, and a couple of them are what you'd traditionally consider alphas who should be drowning in women... like the 6'2" active duty marine who boxes but is still incredibly articulate and gentle and generally has the aura of a 1920s British gentleman. And they're all super smart - one of the young men there has actually read Human Action. Or there's the guy who is 20 and literally looks like a freaking Ken doll, and is so brilliant that he was given a task to teach a two hour adult class on the history of Calvinism in Europe.

    I'm not counting the monks in that number. But it's part of the equation, I think, that there are a handful of young guys who have taken vows and have therefore checked out. And I meet a lot of other men of various ages who travel to the nearby monastery specifically to find out what monastic life is like. Like, two or three young eligible men every month.

    On the other side: it's always the same four young eligible women. And each one, as you can probably guess, has... a great personality. I mean that earnestly. But three of them are at best solid 4s. I don't fault the young men for not being in their late 40s and understanding that time spent on pretty girls is mostly a waste, but the ratio there means someone in this group should have shown interest in the eligible girls already.

    Then there's the other eligible young woman, who is a solid 6.5 or 7. I mean really pretty, but still conservative - straddling that line between hot and nice girl. She actually had a boyfriend before he dumped her and went to seminary. And at no point has there been a dogpile trying to get to her. Last week she was talking to a 67 year old friend of mine as he was drinking beers and he got all party charming, and she was practically eating out of his hand. Which was weird, but still part of this weird puzzle, because she demonstrated to everyone she's not a prude.

    We had exactly one couple form and get married in the last three years, and it was two people who knew what they wanted and just went for it. But they aren't the norm, by far.

    I talked to a 22yo man this morning who is actually getting to be a good friend of mine, and in the brief time we had he said young men check out or either go for porn or anime and he said we'd talked before about how he's into anime and there's nothing wrong with that and he's ready to die on that point... and I asked if he meant waifu pillow and he said no... and then I decided there were too many regular church people within earshot to continue that discussion and left it for later.

    So since I won't get to talk it over with him for two weeks, and because I basically have no friends outside of church ever since everyone even slightly to the left of Adolf Hitler decided to cut me out of their lives, and because I want perspective outside of my group anyway....

    What in the hell is going on? There's something that is keeping women away, and there's something keeping the men from going for it.
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    I think young men today are in no hurry to marry or have children . As many negatives as positives . Govt has effectively killed the family with meddling is my guess .

    Women are shunning churches due to their brainwashing. It interferes with their state worship.

    Men are confounded by the legal system. Get some, get charged with rape, get to pay eighteen years for whomever's baby she has.

    This thread has more:

    The more the U.S. seems to loosen up, with boobs on the boob tube, screwing in song lyrics, and gays literally more common on TV than in real life, the more Puritan the U.S. gets. Weird, isn't it?

    Most women require a significant investment, in both time and money. Given the general lack of reciprocal loyalty and the other risks (financial & criminal) involved, for a lot of guys these days, it just isn't worth it.

    Add on top of that most women (even the 3 pointers) are accustomed to being held on a pedestal with easy access to their choice of men. The top 10% of guys get 90% of women.

    This doesn't really change until women hit 30+ and the playing field begins to level out.

    Nearly 40 Percent of U.S. Gen Zs, 30 Percent of Young Christians Identify as LGBTQ, Poll Shows

    Thirty percent of Millennials identify as LGBTQ, according to a soon-to-be released study that is based on scientific polling data. Among Christians the numbers were lower—but only slightly, with just under 30 percent of Millennial Christians identifying as LGBTQ.

    The youths listen too much to media and social networking as opposed to life Nature and Natures God.

    There is something supernatural (in the negative sense) occurring on the Earth right now. I will not describe it in this thread. I am not relaying second-hand information to you; I'm telling you I am a first-hand witness (and I'm certain I'm not the only one). The nature of it is gagging -- it is very difficult to talk about because it is camouflaging itself in the form of mental-illness symptoms. To talk about it in detail is to make oneself sound like an insane person. One of its primary objectives is what I call "supernatural solitary confinement." It is absolutely effective. Someone can be standing six feet away and you might be inclined to speak to them, but you might as well be a million miles from them as a result of what is happening.

    When this first began for me, I thought it was about me. It's not about me. It's about something much bigger; it is absolutely Apocalyptic in scale. I have kept quiet for over seven years now, waiting to be sure that, whenever I did speak out, I would not speak presumptuously or from ignorance. I know what is happening in excruciating detail. It is not of human origin[1], and no human individual / agency / organization has any control over it. I am neither guessing nor exaggerating when I say that it is the Antichrist, capital-A. Only prophecy can prove such a thing, so each individual must encounter the Matthew 24 / Daniel / Revelation signs for themselves.

    I am not writing this here to try to "share a revelation" or "make a prediction" or any of the usual antics that people work themselves up into when encountering spiritual things they do not understand. I understand what is happening and that's why I'm not going to waste anybody's time blabbering about it (which is just another trap). However, those (such as yourself) who may be on the verge of waking up to what is really going on may benefit from the validating information that you're not alone in noticing that something is deeply amiss. Whatever is going wrong is way beyond anything can be explained with the usual verbal-Vallium like, "it's just the effects of modern anti-population indoctrination" or fill-in-the-blank. There are many shocking/surprising things that can be explained without appealing to the supernatural. But then there is that which is simply beyond the natural, without question. It's the opposite of a 50/50 or maybe/maybe-not. The very definition of certitude.

    Don't take this post as "evidence", which might bias your own thinking. Rather, I challenge you to observe things even more carefully and take the opposing stance -- try to prove to yourself that what I'm saying is false. I also challenge you (and any other believers who may be lurking) to think about the gravity of this occurring in the church itself. We understand from Scripture that Satan has been running around the world, engaging in all kinds of supernatural wickedness, trying to undo his doom. While this has often manifested in oppression and persecution of the church, the church itself has (until now) managed to remain a sanctuary from spiritual evil (ignoring those exceptional teachers/congregations that have descended into outright apostasy). But if what I am describing is, indeed, the case, then the disruption has gone far, far beyond simple persecution and has become a global infiltration and, ultimately, castration of the church from within, using supernatural wickedness. That is precisely the great apostasy prophesied in 2 Thess. 2:3, Matthew 24, etc. I'm not "predicting" anything -- I'm saying it's fait accompli.

    [1] -- No, it's not "aliens" or any of the other pre-packaged explanations that have been carefully planted in the public consciousness to deflect attention away from the only true cause of this spiritual war: the devil.

    Phill already pointed out one critical part of this problem: Marxist brainwashing and grooming from infancy forward to increase the numbers of queeers and weirdosexuals.

    Acptulsa pointed out leg two of this stool: legal entanglements and minefields that, if not navigated properly, lead to legal problems that could land you in jail. Jerking off to porn is safer and cheaper and can't put you in jail 40 years later.

    Leg three is quantifiable: Numerous studies have shown men's, particularly white, western men's testosterone and sperm counts have been dropping at incredible rates. Studies have also shown that these drops are not attributable to diet or exercise, they seem to be across the board.

    Naturally, whatever poison is in the air, food or water causing this, is also affecting women as well, with what appears to be an opposite effect: a whole generation of ugly, brutish, bad tempered, foul mouthed, tattooed, "half-women"...about as feminine and sexy as shoving your dick into a garbage disposal.

    And there you have it...sure there are other ancillary causes at play here...the fact these kids have spent their whole lives finger $#@!ing devices, instead of talking to people doesn't help much.

    But the fact that young men's testosterone levels have dropped significantly since we were that age, is certainly, to me, the biggest factor.

    I don't know how these $#@! kids do it, myself...I'm coming up on year four of INCEL-ism, and I'm about to blow my $#@!ing brains out for lack of getting laid for all these years.

    That’s pretty slim pickens. No doubt the available young men have declined. They are probably looking elsewhere.

    If they are still school aged they'll always be looking around at school. More to look at but probably lower quality than the church girls other than looks .

    This may or may not apply to the specific group of young singles mentioned. But I think that porn is a big factor behind this problem societally.
    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.

    Why? Porn isn't anything new.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    But the widespread availability of an infinite supply of free high definition sexually explicit videos on devices that almost everyone has virtually constant access to is. And there is no question that this development has been having major effects on society over the past decade plus.

    ETA: I would also say that in ancient cultures where various kinds of sexual libertinism were highly prevalent, it affected those societies too.

    I don't disagree. But I also don't think that statism, sexual libertinism, and war mongering are independent variables.

    Traditionally, a woman's single purpose in life was to find a mate.

    Nowadays, women are told to pursue school & careers and such.

    The net result of that is that women are less interested and less open in general to finding a mate.

    Add this to the numerous other compounding factors that others have already mentioned, and you end up with a dating culture that is extremely toxic.

    While these factors undeniably play some causal role in modern affairs, beware of pre-packaged, ready-made explanations -- verbal-Vallium.

    On the basis of the secular theory of our origins, one of the primary reasons given for human evolutionary success versus other species is that we are one of the most promiscuous and libidinous species on the planet. Some other species come close in one or the other dimension but few species are in the same class and, to my knowledge, none exceeds us. So the idea that our genes just casually "gave up" when women started to "have their own money" is just absurd. It doesn't even make sense on the basis of its own assumptions, which is another way of saying it is self-contradictory and, therefore, necessarily false.

    Something is deeply amiss. Not everybody is seeing it. To those who care, I say: look more closely.

    If it doesn't make sense and it is "necessarily false", then why is it true. 1=1

    As for your evolution argument, the women are still getting pregnant, just to a fewer total portion of men. Evolution doesn't care much that there are incels hiding in their caves; evolution in fact thrives on that.

    Because we do not have the resource constraints that rabbits do, humans can (and do) breed much faster than rabbits.

    OK, fine, but where are all these women who are getting pregnant to this ever-smaller proportion of men?!
