No.
I meant every word.
Literally.
is a social phenomenon in Japan of men who shun marriage or gaining a girlfriend.[1] They are characteristically described as frugal, and interested in personal grooming.[2] Under this categorization scheme, men and women are either herbivore type (草食系 sōshoku-kei?) or carnivore type (肉食系 nikushoku-kei?). As of September 2010, 36% of Japanese men between the ages of 16 and 19 perceived themselves in this way.[3] Additionally, two surveys of single men in their 20s and 30s found that 61% and 70%, respectively, considered themselves grass-eating men.[4] This phenomenon is viewed by the Japanese government as a leading cause in the nation's declining birth rate, prompting the government to provide incentives for couples that have children, including payouts and free health care
"
"We know that women have significantly less money than men. Men have some kind of willy bonus in that they earn 10% to 20% more.
women are using the government as husband
There is an entire generation of dead beat dads and rolling stones that helped craft the very system you are all complaining about.

that statement caught my attention right there...
indulge my rambling to see where I can place this...
destruction of the American family unit has always seemed to be the main goal..
the state raises the child.. education, nationalism..etc.
the women rely on the state..
the males are weeded out..
no more personal values passed from father to son..
fewer & fewer strong male female relationships..
gmo's sterilizing both male & females..
population reduction, high tech control grid..
we seem to be at a technological tipping point.
the lock down seems emanate..

It seemed like insanity because of how looney women were. I would just get the milk but not buy the cow.
I am married now couldn't be happier.. only reason i did is because i would have been stupid to pass her up.
I think a big problem with women today is the lack of respect for men .

The last one I went on (never again will I go on a blind date) I refused to tell her what I did, when she asked i said "would it matter? what I did " and she said "yes If you were a dustman or something...." I just said "we are all cogs in the wheel love", then I told her I wipe bums for a living, the look of disdain on her face.. I finished my drink said "no point being sat here all night with an elitist person" and walked out.
She told my girl pal that I was a "loser"...edit on 29-7-2013 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

Dear whiny males of ATS,
Enlighten me of your struggles
We don't need to enlighten you on anything, in fact, you have just proved Dr. Smith's point why males don't want to have relationships.
Label as you will, but the lack of respect speaks volumes.

Ok I will ignore your bad,know it all attitude and answer your question.
Have you ever tried to be a man and open a door for a feminist?
God forbid we be gentlemen eh??
She doesn't need a man to do that for her right??
I don't NEED to do that,I do things like that because men should be gentlemen with their ladies.
These ladies should quit taking things so seriously and just enjoy someone treating them good.
There you go...that is how it has negatively affected man.
You don't open the door and you are a jerk....you open the door and you are a jerk.
You never see a feminist in a fire....its always WOMEN and children first.

So basically, you cant answer the question?
Seriously, i want to know how feminism has effected men, please, TRY an answer the question.
To be fair, i think a lot of people lack the maturity to be in a relationship.
Why is it that (supposedly) men are rejecting relationships?

It appears that you only listen and take what you want from conversation. The question has been answered repeatedly from the author Dr. Smith, to many of the posters on this thread, but it doesn't fit into your philosophies so you ignore them, and keep asking questions until you get one that resonates with your sense of reality.
I agree with you on the maturity issues, because having a healthy relationship takes maturity regardless of gender.
Most reasonable and mature males will not make excuses for a relationship going bad, because ultimately the person choosing the relationship made that choice.
Now on the other hand, if the mentality and the mindset of the opposite sex seems to be synonymous with a majority of women, males have a choice to not pursue relationships based on a massive communication, common ground breakdown and factors that will negatively influence their growth as human beings.
Not pursuing relationships actually takes a strong minded person to accomplish, since we biologically seek out mates to reproduce, and it actually creates peace, harmony and self-empowerment within the person that has chosen this lifestyle.
Buddhist Monks are living proof.
It's simple really, if two people can't seem to get along then what is the point of trying to change each other?
There is only one person we can change, and that is difficult enough.
I put up a thread recently that you may be interested in called "Our Unruly and Sinister side".

Peace out,

If I may
After doing some reading about feminism on the internet, I have to say it just comes across as some kind of central planning for relationships and like all such things it no doubt started out as a plausible improvement to a situation but will probably end in millions of dead peasants
