Professor Scott Galloway - Why Young Men Are In Decline, And What To Do 

Lost my mom during university years. I had to grow up VERY fast. Through adversity, one will truly be tested as a human and will really witness growth.

I have been saying this for 20 years. When my son started in school I could see the actual difference between the girls and boys and how the support to raise up strong girls was soooo prevalent. Scott you are right, the girls needed that support and they took that support and flew to the moon. The boys have been left behind to languish and become angry. Many small towns in third world countries are almost empty of women because the girls got and education, saw a bigger world and more opportunities and left. We can only help women if we help men. Humankind depends on each of us raising each other up

Growing up I watched every major male figure in my life get absolutely destroyed by family and divorce courts. All of them, without exception, were left broken and shallow shells of themselves. During my time in the military, the cheating was so bad that there were briefings about it. 3 of my war buddies made the choice to end their journey by their own hand after returning home to a surprise baby that was not theirs, and the wives still received all their financial embellishments and were treated like the victms while their mothers were handed a folded flag. The truth of the matter is, men no longer matter in society. We are disposable. Replaceable. We loose more men to their own hands every minute than all of women to all kinds cancer combined, and not so much as a single news story or dollar of federal aid spent on it. If I don't matter to society, then why should it matter to me? I go to work, I pay my bills and my taxes, and I plan for retirement while perusing my own hobbies and interests. I will never marry and never have children, and care very little for the problems of others, because not once did anyone ever care about mine.

Graduated from law school in 2009, just in time for the job market to implode. I landed a terrible job at a lousy debt collection mill of a firm for $15 an hour. In 2012 a regional firm stole our largest clients and the firm collapsed. In 2013 I was so broke I moved back home and got a construction job by lying to a temp agency - I told them I'd been disbarred for substance abuse, which isn't true, but prevented being written off as "overqualified," - and paid off my student loans with crazy-big overtime hours.

What is considered "failing economically"? Housing prices have far outpaced wages. In Canada, we need to pass the "stress test", to qualify for a mortgage. One can pay rent, that is the same as a mortgage payment, but can't qualify for a mortgage. This is messed up.

I grew up in the 1990s there was still this feeling of, there was a bright future out there for you, you just had to work for it. I worked my way through college, held down a job, avoided debt. Yet, I still live at home. My grandparents had less than a high school education, yet in that generation most blue collar men could afford a decent house on what would essentially be a blue collar or entry level job. My parents were able to buy a house on one income. That was still possible in their generation. I am a college educated nurse, no debt, yet I cannot afford to move out of my parents house. housing is not affordable for the most educated and hard working. Not only that, but there is no motivation. At the same time, why move out? Taxes are high, cost of living is high and like many men of my generation I could not afford a family even If I was married. oh well, the economic boom of the USA was great while it lasted. if it declines, it declines. I am too burnt out to care

I'm Gen Z (22 years old), I can tell you a lot of young guys are just forgotten. It's too common to see guys nowadays just gaming it away, wasting their energy into porn, and into pointless things. And I don't blame them, that was exactly how I lived when I left school around 17. Most of these guys that live like this are generally pretty introverted. When I dropped out around age 17, my social life just vanished and didn't really have anyone around me. So for 3-4 years I only had internet friends from random communities on the web, and that is how I lived my life. I see guys basically live the same way more commonly nowadays, and I rarely see women live this way. When you live like that, its easy to fall into the pit and thinking it would change someday but it doesn't. When you lock yourself away, you miss out on a lot of experiences in life that could change you, but because you play video games all day, nothing can touch you and don't mature because there's no experiences to be had. I got lucky, and met a girl somehow even when I was a loser sitting home all day, got my heart absolutely crushed, but after that I just woke up and stopped playing video games, started being interested in building a career and being financially secure, I''m very physically fit too. That external event (break up) made me leave that lifestyle, and guys need some pain to transform, but when you're in your room all day, there's little room for those things to happen.

I saw this topic in the news a few days ago, so I've fallen down the rabbit hole to learn how to talk to my 8th grade son and understand what's going on. To try and avoid him getting caught in that trap. I stress to him extra curricular activities after school. If not, he'll just get home and hop on his games. I played video games and still play, but I worry about him not being around other kids physically. And he needs that.

I became a drug addict at 13 years old and I had to take care of my mom in my 20's because of her addictions. She would take a lot of different kinds of drugs and would often sleep walk. She had a methadone problem after multiple attempts at rehab. I hated my life and I constantly thought about ending it but everyone thought I was happy because I had a sense of humor. At 35 I am average everything. Below average height, slightly above average income ect. I worked brutal labor for many years in complete isolation. People pretend like life isn't messy. Life is a mess and structure and regiment saved my life. I make sure to always make my bed, wash my dishes and keep my house clean and tidy. If I don't have a plan for the day I will drink and do drugs so I have to work on something because I don't have any friends and I live alone. I don't owe society anything. This dude is only concerned because his retirement fund is being effected. Women never cared about young men. Their voting habbits and social media posts show it. I am not going to sacrifice my life for people who are against me. I will avoid them and hide my money at all costs.

So true when you said "the human mind can't wrap its head around losing somebody you love till it happens, and the feeling is indescribable." It's a sadness so strong you are physically sick. It's awful and you put it perfectly when you said it's the most unjust thing you'll ever experience. At least the great memories with that loved one remain.

Man here, I agree on what he’s saying except his apparent aversions to newborns and baby raising. Witnessing or helping with child birth is not “gross” and doesn’t require a night nurse on whom to pawn off duties - it’s how we all got here. I caught both of my babies as they emerged from my wife and I was the first person they saw in the world. Those first few seconds of life are something that can never again be replicated or redone. With two kids that time maybe totals to six seconds of my life before placing baby on my wife’s chest. The most emotionally valuable six seconds of my life.

Good lord I love this guy. Great insight and the best dry humor on the planet. And yes, at 45, I can confirm that I'm pissed that a fragrance was not named after me, lol

I’m 62. When I was 21 my first real girlfriend played mind games, used me while cheating that I confirmed later. It destroyed me. I knew if it happened again, I wouldn’t survive it so I checked out, went underground and grew cannabis for 35 years in another country. Now I’m back, own 2 homes and can live on investments. I’m not a bad looking guy and workout and look about 45. I’ve really been retired since my 20’s. I listen to Bhad Bhabie “teen rapper”, have had high school girls say nice legs mister when I where shorts. Every woman I meet now over 30, wants to know my occupation and money situation, setting me up for another user situation. It’s just ridiculous and I’m too old for younger girls who aren’t as driven by income. I just can’t be used again and so don’t even try anymore. Took care of my 96 year old dad for the last 4 years and he died last December. A WW2 war hero with a Purple Heart and other medals. He was one of the last surviving Merrill’s Marauder's where he was permanently wounded at age 19 in a firefight where his commanding officer and 6 of his comrades were killed. America is finished, not the country I grew up in anymore. Now I’m moving to probably Eastern Europe and hook up with a women over there I think. I’m not supporting any American women with kids.

I always enjoy interviews with Scott Galloway

Sees how society treats boys and blames them. Good one mate

This guy meets the criteria of a great podcast/interview, he’s wicked smart has life experience and can explain his views and opinions very well, but what I love about this guy is occasionally he’ll throw in younger generational slang , but not to sound younger. It’s a part of his vocabulary

I heard Prof. Galloway at a summit in Sydney and he was by far the most interesting and well-read speaker of the day. His voice resonates with me in this video as well 🙏🏼

I considered myself a feminist. This content is amazing for men. As a woman i learned so much. It’s great for men and women. Keep up the great work.

I cried listening to this...for the first time in 35 years of my life, I got confirmation that I am not the only one out there. I am a 35 year old man that is a virgin, never kissed, never held a relationship (let alone talk to a girl). Never had a father in my life, mom was extremely vindictive and hateful towards my dad, no male role model growing up, and worse - my mom was extremely overprotective. This indirectly affected me more than I ever anticipated - I never learned to make friends, have friends in school or in college. I am now what Professor Scott Galloway described - a lonely, broken man who cannot do anything other than count the end days or take the gun that is sitting next to me. I am thinking the later...at my job, a colleague of mine was in the same situation as me (I luckily found someone just like me) and he killed himself a few months ago. I am the next one now - I am not going to allow myself to become a violent, woman hating, gun shooting maniac, I am offing himself before that happens, that's for sure. I am going to go ahead and join my only friend up there, soon.

People skills - So important! I was an engineering manager supporting a DNA production line (Human Genome Project in the early 2000’s). When I was recruiting for new staff the engineering department would try to push engineers/technicians that they said were their most technically proficient people. I always had to push back and explain to them the these people cannot be successful if they can’t listen and communicate patiently and respectfully with our production staff who were primarily young biologists. So not only do you have to put the work in to learn something but you also have to know how to deal productively with all kinds of people. You can start on both these things early in life.

I LOVE Scott Galloway. No other way to put it.

As a woman, I don't know why men think it's so bad that they haven't had sex in a year 🤷🏾‍♀️. Why do they think they all are entitled to always have sex?

This podcast should be played on repeat to all young men. 13 to 30.

It would be interesting to see him debate a manosphere person. His arguments against them are basically just wow-just-wow instead of something substantive.

Great message, I wish I had started going to the gym when I was in my late teens, I started taking it seriously ten years later and it sure changed my confidence with women at the time.

17:28 - "first time in history a 30 year old isn't doing as well as his or her parents were..." 17:43. "if your under the age of 30 your 24% less wealthy than you were 40 years ago, and people over the age of 70 are 72% more wealthy" ..."its economically more stressful for young people now.." YES, YES, YES - I agree. I am 60 and I know I have it better than this younger generation but I seem to be FOREVER trailing behind the next generation up. I work hard but I was also hit hard by the dot com, the great recession, health care bills, etc...and it feels like I am at the tail end of something great that happened...but nothing to complain about when I look to my son's generation, and watch my nieces and nephews struggle to make it. And now their kids....what the hell happened???

34:10 - I think the nuance of this "its ok to X" is, the tolerance for such behavior is dependent on the status and attractiveness of the man doing the approaching. SNL did a great skit about this phenomenon with Tom Brady years ago (Sexual Harassment and You - Saturday Night Live). Tom was walking around the office in his underwear and they were swooned. Then the average guy went to the same woman's desk and she filed harassment. What a woman perceives as flirtation from one man is harassment if done by someone deemed less attractive. SNL's skit was hyperbole, but the phenomenon is real. That said, I've never heard a woman admit this nuance out loud.

Look we all love our parents. But I as a parent myself I would have failed if I am relying on my child to financially care for me in retirement. Emotional support? Yes. Financial or Caregiver? No. It's even dangerous to suggest that it's his fault or underachievement for not being able to financially support his mom at 26 (almost 20 years before his financial peak).

I’m a Baby Boomer who never had kids and I’ve lived outside the United States for 6 years. My recent knowledge of America is received through the news, social media, and RU-vid and, while realizing that this is a filtered view of the US, what I am hearing just boggles my mind. America has become unrecognizable.

This was a really balanced conversation. Thank you 😊🙌

The thing with his mom is an indictment of the U.S. health care system. He got basically a third-world-country experience after the hospital time. How many 26-year-olds have the financial resources to pay a nurse $55/hour, especially in this era of college debt? And yet we continue to expect all kinds of things from individuals and turn a blind eye toward a broken system. The whole point of having something MORE than a third-world country is that you're not supposed to get backed into those situations.

When a man has a child with his wife, he becomes a secondary family member. It's all about the baby. Hard to handle, but if your wife is a dedicated mother, it will make so much difference for the kid in the end. Don't worry, she'll hand that kid off to you when he or she turns 14 😂. I'm 62 and the best years of my life were when my kids were at home.

Scott is a super interesting and authentic guy. He reminds me of some of my better bosses over the years that were both inspiring and a little scary. Great interview NIce work.

Its great to know that people like l, Scott understand the pressures on young men (particularly because you dont often hear that acknowledged by progressive people) but the salutions they provided are as empty as the ones provided by people like Jordan Peterson or Tate (clean your room & work out). I find the reason a lot of guys my age (mid 20s) give up and turn to video games and rugs is because we are surrounded by older men who have spend decades doing everything right (fit, smart, hard working) might lose the house when intrest rates hit, have retirement accounts that got wiped out in 2008, 2010, 2020 and are forced to work into their 70s.

It’s good for women to hear this conversation.

Ive been obsessively reading and listening about this subject. Theres a real lack of strong, progressive, male role models. Ill get the book.

For all the men not having sex, there’s lots of women as well. And why do women need to be ‘guard rails’ for men? Why do we need to get you on a good path and stop doing things like smoking pot and not washing your clothes. Why do we have to teach men to adult when women are not taught how to do it? I’m a woman and no one taught me how to be domesticated and work and get my shit together. I had to do all that, and then fight my way up a work ladder with men as my bosses, in positions I didn’t think I could get to, because women simply weren’t there. Raise your own selves ffs … we do. I adore men. Love! And I’m super caring .. I just don’t want a man baby, I want a responsible husband who can do what a I can do, who can meet me half way. Maybe I can’t ask for that and I’ll never get it. But maybe I will. And the reason why we look at a man’s earning capacity is because if we want children, at some point we’re going to have to stop working and need some financial support during that time. So of course it matters to us. Some women want their husbands to buy them Gucci bags … most women I know just want a roof over their heads while they are at home for a time raising a nice little family. Scott, you are separating us so strongly. Women and men need to work better together. But no, women don’t need to keep men in check and teach them the way. Do it yourself!! We do!! There is a misconception that women are ‘taught the way’. As far as I know, my female friends and I were not taught how to look after ourselves. It was just expected of us that we be domesticated, so we taught ourselves how to do things like cook and run a load of washing. No one showed me how to do these things, they just expected them of me as a wife so I went and learned them thinking it was my role. If these things were expected of men, they could do it too. But you know … my dad goes to work all day and comes home at 9pm to a cooked meal and his washing done. And that happens because my mum was told that doing those things for him equates to being a good wife. But me … I want to share the cooking and cleaning with a husband until I’m at home with a child, and then when I go back to work I want them to help out again. Because women can do it all, but they shouldn’t have to! Oh and about pornography. I’ve been slapped around by men who watch too much porn and think that they can throw women around and that’s ok and that’s normal. Fuck no it’s not! Mothers and fathers need to teach their kids what good sex is without that crap.

I love his work and thank you for having him on the show

3 generations of feminist family court.

Would required military service help with the immaturity gap between the genders? I think it would. Guys have to be pushed and go through physical, mental and emotional obstacles to grow, much more than women. Let teens sign up at 16 (with parents' permission). They used to allow that and the boomers I spoke with said it was so great for them. Made men out of them.

2:14 - "shit, it's no longer about me" -- this is indeed a point of no return in your life when you realise that

36:00 - The stories of young men starting a relationship while being "unrefined" demonstrates a complete generational divide. Y'all got your foot in the door, and then developed yourselves. Your sons (most likely) won't get the same lucky breaks - being a full package is a prerequisite.

Gratitude is riches. Mom taught me. I left a marriage and job at the Director's Guild in LA and held her ice cold hands for 6 years. It destroyed my life at 40. After 27 years of hell, sustained by her words, I am the happiest person in the whole USA 43:33

Please allow me to present my theory (in short form). The beginning of the decline of men in our society happened when the affirmative action rules went into effect about 1972. That year, men represented about 57% of all college students. In 2022, men were about 40% of college students. From a purely statistical calculation, that extreme decline of male enrollment in universities in 50 years is impossible, which means societal policy to advantage women and minority groups over White men can be the only reasonable explanation for the situation we currently find ourselves. Few people understand that. Fewer still admit it, but fortunately, the supreme court rules that affirmative action policies are no longer the law of the land.

I loved the talk but halfway through as you began talking about needing to recreate the definition of masculinity I realized why our conclusions are so different. I work in tech where more and more people are able to get remote gigs, so perhaps I’m biased when I say what I’m about to say but I believe that just like how social media has globalized cultural communication, in the sense that 40 years ago it would be odd for an average American to have people he called friends all over the world unless they were in the military, today it’s completely normal due to the ability to instantly share ideas and communication all over the world due to internet and social media. These technologies aren’t just turning friendship into an international market, it’s also slowly turning relationships into an international market. So when you talk about traditional forms of masculinity which have power over their women almost as if it’s this archaic form of masculinity that we must change, for the betterment of society, you seem to forget that relationships are now part of a global market. Meaning even if I was born in one country that doesn’t wish for such archaic form of masculinity, now we can just leave that home country and move to a place where traditional men who lead their households from the front are still respected. Saying that you’ll move from your home country to another country to start a family seems far fetched the older you are, but the younger generations who are growing up in the huge global free market, have no second thoughts about the idea of uprooting… So what will the society look like when your strongest men just leave?

Any OG L2 fans here? Scott Galloway use to post a lot of content from that channel before he eventually sold it. That's how I found him, great guy.

Excellent interview. I love the honesty and respect.

There is an appropriate time to blame women though. You can't deny that.

No reason to have kids anymore. Too many people, too expensive, and wouldn't want to burden a child with the cruelty of this existence. Life "is" suffering. Plus, I want to enjoy the little time I have with my hobbies and friends.

I enjoy listening to Scott. This is an important conversation. I wish he would have addressed our culture’s destruction of men through divorce, misandrist laws, and the family courts. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend to my sons to get married. This is a glaring omission.

Great listening opportunity. That was . Thanks

Great discussion with a lot of wisdom. Scott you are outspoken about the bad father Steve Jobs was, and then don’t seem to care that children watch porn. One of the worst things you can do as a current and future father is to watch porn or allow your kids to watch porn.

There is an assumption men would react in a certain way to emboldened feminist women. When men’s reaction to the emboldened feminist women was different than the assumption, the historic male-woman relationship died. A career woman returning home to assume the man would take on homemaker was and is a mistake. MGTOW is as much of a viable reaction as is men switching roles to home maker. The intellectual who thought matriarchal and patriarchal traditional roles would reverse in an equal and opposite manner if the provider homemaker roles reversed was not well thought through indeed.

Masculinity cannot be what we want it to be, it is not entirely socially constructed, it is partially socially moulded but it has its roots in biology

I raise my fist for all the men who are struggling right now!!! As long as you are breathing keep fighting.

The Dad of the internet. Thank you sir.

My dad cut me off after I failed my second year of university. I hated him at the time, but it was the best thing for my resilience and grit. We have a very good relationship now and I am a better man than I would have been if my dad had given me hand outs.

Men are wonderful. They’re funny. They’re playful. It’s a blessing to be around them. From a woman.

I see this channel is on the come-up so I want to leave a comment for algorithm help. I appreciated how you let Prof G talk without interruption, and your comments were thoughtful, not just fluff. Great job and keep up the content.

I've watched this video twice with lots of thought. Wonderful insights by these two talented fellas. However, I glean the concept put forth is that an upbringing of poverty leads to high motivation and work ethic whereas wealth leads to the opposite. I do see the logic of this and I agree there's something to it but it's not that simple. As a kid my neighbors were Doctors and successful business owners. I use that as a standard or measuring stick. This motivates me. European and American Jewish people, on the average, do well economically generation after generation. Why hasn't there success and wealth demotived them ? See, it's not simple !!

Great video. About money, I say: "Money isn't everything...till you don't have it. Then, it's everything." Stay strong, men. --Old Guy

The problem with Scott's point about rich kids failing to create, and immigrant kids doing the best is that's only true so long that the system isn't rigged to create an aristocracy. In the States we've created systems that reinforce and create an aristocratic class. We call it meritocracy.

If this issue gets ignored, society is doomed. The next generation is fucked. COVID lockdowns certainly contributed to it as well.

My wife and I stayed at my parents for almost a year a while ago. Was horrible! But not really (decent normal relationship) but it is odd now that society is like oh your 23 on your own raise the family. That's kind of 50's picturesque boomer shit. Like all of human history you were with the tribe clan or family basically forever. When you were 18 you were a net contributor but you weren't just severed. You could rely on and be relied on. I've never really helped my cousins with anything lol

I’d love to hear your thoughts, this talk of self-improvement before dating doesn’t make sense with Maslow hierarchy of needs.

So true at 25 shit really does get real

I'm a boy mom. I tell him on an almost weekly basis, that I admire men and boys. He has to feel protected by society and speak up when he's hurt. And I tell him society has to change to treat boys and men kinder, and gentler and more fair. I believe life is a fun, wild ride and we're here to enjoy it. I'm raising a boy who I say: my number 1 goal is that you can be happy and healthy when you grow up. That's it!!!

Scott is a great interview.

Shit’s about to hit the fan in this country

Why won’t Scott address why men are still being discriminated against in college admissions? I like Scott, but I wish he would address this one issue and maybe he can’t because he is employed at NYU.

Ive been really frustrated lately because in the last year i have 1. Gone back to finish college. 2. Started going to the gym 4-5 days a week. 3. Making myself go to somewhere I can meet people at least once a week. 4. Started seeing a therapist on a weekly basis. 5. Bought a new wardrobe. 6. Found ways to make money while going to school full time Ive done all these things and feel just as alone and socially ostracized as before and i feel that hopelessness creeping back in. It's really frustrating

I think if everybody is struggling, and nobody under 30 can afford a house, the answer is that the system needs fixing, not that everyone who wasn’t “grandfathered” into success before several natural and social calamities raised the difficulty level of life, needs to “level up” even further than their parents had to. “Grit” isn’t it. I cringe when I realize how far we are from groundbreaking discoveries that we may never reach, because we have let our parents convince us that life has to be a struggle to survive. You can’t cure cancer if you have to take a job that will pay your hundreds of thousands in student loan debt, instead of the research job that would pave the way for that, but you have to turn down for financial reasons.

Don't conflate gun ownership with failing men. Me and all my gun enthusiast buddies are all highly successful, married, and mostly with kids

such a great discussion. thank you both!

6ft tall six-figure black man 6 pack in my 20s and has enough emotional intelligence to understand the importance and putting myself first. Because of the mass emotional manipulation and the punishment Family Court bring on good hard-working men I advise every dutiful man to get their passport and at least see what Eastern traditional women had to offer.

Fellas, Time is a man's ally and a woman's adversary. If your military or gainfully employed I'd suggest you wait till your 40 to start a family. At that age a man is old enough to have his life together but young enough to where he can still easily attract 20s, 30s and 40s women. You'll know what you have to lose.

Now as far as the guardrails go, no one tells me to put on a clean shirt. I don’t think it’s a woman’s job to tell a man basic things. That drive should come from within because the person cares about themselves.

A bit of a counterpoint: I get what Galloway is saying and I've seen the same statistics, and am also worried about them. BUT if we go back to books like Hannah Rosin's End of Men (which was a statistically solid chronicling of all of these trends even seven+ years ago), she noticed something. Women were just more elastic and willing to be flexible than men. Women were willing to go into those careers traditionally handled by men, and men were not equally willing to go into traditionally female careers. Women were willing and able to take on household roles traditionally performed by men, while men's comfort levels extended only to releasing those roles and spending the rest of the time playing video games. So, in some sense, you do have to blame the men a bit here. We can say that men just didn't have role models for how to embody this less traditional version of manhood. Sure, but the women didn't have such female role models either when crossing into a more expansive femininity. Men who wait for someone else to show them how to do it are playing a losing game. Go out and see what needs to be done, what niches you can fulfill; then do those things.

Why would you be masculine if you don’t get the dominance benefits? There are so many problems with this approach for me, a young man.

I was in a fraternity for years before graduating into tech in 2020. I started writing a book on men's mental health and gen z men because I saw it all. Drugs, violence, money problems, etc. Only 15% of my closer male friends have a girlfriend (I have basically always been in a relationship since 19) I hear them say concerning things and sound defeatist and try to call them out on their BS. I choose to live at home so I can save a ton of money but make over 100k. While I'm saving, it's crazy to me that I feel the rising COL and going out is so expensive. Rough times out there. Rough times out there.

Life is sink or swim. Period. You're mostly prewired for the former or the latter. Genetics is a bitch

Ive gained alot insight from Scott from his books or talks.

Yes, your 20s and 30s are a grind, but some love the grind. I honestly hate the idea of growing older, slowing down, and settling down. I thrive on chaos and disorder.

Yes workout, get a job, join groups. Do it all with people.

32:26 this also requires men to adopt a different vision of femininity - they can’t refuse to do “feminine” labeled tasks such as cooking, cleaning, child caretaking, etc. and refusing to do such tasks because it’s “feminine”. That’s a cop out either out of laziness, and/or men don’t want to be labeled as “feminine” for being an active participant in the household with their partner, which includes these sorts of tasks. Women get the raw end of marriage because beta/$50k< men are okay with their wife to be masculine/expect their wife to go work for another man because their job doesn’t cover all of the household bills, and also take care of children (including him), elder in-laws/parents, the house, etc. Men need to put their ego down on this regard, too. Women want an active participant in their marriages now, they aren’t reliant upon their partner for survival anymore. And both sexes need to put down the power play of asserting how much money they make individually as a bargaining chip in negotiating power in the relationship - no one cares that you are an adult and can pay your bills. And men, you need to pay for a roof over your head, car, etc if you were single, so stop using that as a power play on women and that it’s an obligation and you are sacrificing so much to maintain the roof and car you would’ve had regardless of whether you were in the marriage. No one put you under duress and told you to choose a wife and have children. Take accountability. If you want to remain single and not have the obligation of higher cost of living, then remain single. But don’t complain when you want to be married and have a family and blame your wife/family that you’re miserable because it costs $300k/yr to raise two kids. Don’t have children, don’t be married. It was never a “sacrifice” - it was your choice to bring children into the world.

At 5:00. This is something that is rarely acknowledged; that rich kids rarely increase the wealth they've been left with and often lose large chunks of it. All of the businesses under Lachlan Murdoch's watch have lost money; those which aren't have been profitable. Kerry Packer's son lost 500m off his father's 1bn business empire.

Eehh this was an okay analysis of whats going on mostly based on anecdotes. A more macro perspective would’ve been helpful. For one most white collar jobs these days require skills which women are at par or in an advantage to men (i.e., collaboration). I dont think men are failing for the lack of trying but instead the idea of what a man is in 21st century will have to and is being re-written to consider what are more feminine traits like helping doing household chores, being more empathetic, etc.

42:55 was a really weird cut. He was saying that Tate's videos were productive (not sure if i agree) but then immediately cuts to misogyny. Why?

No, i will say this after carefully listening to discussion and then looking at numbers. Lets take a look at the problem and why i think Scott Galloway is scared of the mob of left and is spouting idiotic claims. If we take a look at demography decline where is it happening. At the west, mostly and only at the west. We need to ask why. What happened at the west that did not happen in undeveloped world. Emancipation and incorporating women in work force. It was a need , capitalism needed women in work force , and now we have men and women working equally, its good, yea its good, but not for birth rates and evidence shows it. What Scott is saying, we need to invent new masculinity, Scott it does not work like that. You can not reinvent nature. Men and women form family for improving their life and get more safe. Men has a wife at home that brings and tends to children, women has a protector and provider, that is why family formed when we formed non moving societies. Its in nature, man needs to protect and provide. What happened in western world. Women and Man work, and by forming family they actually lose money, and safety. How? Women lose security in their job, women are incentivized not to have children if they want career. Men open themselves up to divorce and courts losing 50% of all they worked for up to that point, and prospect of losing part of income forever. So western civilization does not incentivize successful men to have family nor women. It really only incentivizes sex , abortion and changing of partners. NO SCOTT YOU CAN NOT HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT. NOBODY CAN, WESTERN SOCIETY INCENTIVIZES BREAK OF FAMILY AND FALL OF BIRTH RATES. FAMILY IN WEST IS NOT INCREASING SAFETY FOR WOMEN OR FOR MEN, IT LOWERS IT, AND ITS BETTER NOT TO MARRY OR HAVE CHILDREN . AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT BIRTH RATES OF ALL WESTERN EMANCIPATED COUNTRIES BIRTH RATES ARE BELOW 1.7 FALLING DOWN, WELL UNDER REPLACEMENT LEVEL WHICH PUTS SOCIETY IN DANGER, PENSION FUNDS ETC , WHILE POOR WORLD IS HAVING IN SOME CASES BIRTH RATES WELL ABOVE 3.0 OR MORE, ITS CLEAR AS DAY. WE WILL NOT REINVENT MASCULINITY OR FAMILY , IT WILL DISAPPEAR IN WESTERN WORLD, AND YOU WILL IN 100 YEARS HAVE SOCIETY WHERE PEOPLE WILL LIKELY LIVE WELL IN TO 100s WITHOUT KIDS OR PARTNERS, WITH TECHNOLOGY AS THEIR ONLY COMPANION, HELPER AND FRIEND. ITS PATH WE HAVE TAKEN.

We also need a father in the first place. Not having a dad is disaterious as a guy growing up. Not having family time ultimately leads to not knowing how to start one. Just my 2 cents.

Owning a firearm does NOT make you a bad citizen. Other than that, good interview.

Ephesians 2:10 -- at least this is motivating for me.

where was galloway's dad ?? wiki says he was a sales executive .. did he die or abandon them ??

How does owning a gun make you a shitty citizen? The second amendment is unique among nations and legal gun owners are not the ones committing crimes.

I didn't get Professor Scott Galloway's new upcoming book name...? there's something wrong with my audio

I'm getting a vasectomy. I'm 39 and I failed at finding a woman to have a kid with. At this point in my life, I'm stable and happy. Why ruin a good thing by having kids?

and then you reach the stage in life where you are neater cleaner and more financially secure than the women you see & date and say why bother as they add little to no value to your life ....

Establish more trade schools with associate degrees. Practical + knowledge.

I've been working since I was 13 and most of the jobs sucked but it's character building for sure and sets the tone for the rest of your life. Also, my time in the military really molded me and gave a lot of great life lessons that a lot of young men are lacking today. I find it unbelievable that most teenagers nowadays don't even have a job. This country is getting soft.

Birth as "gross." Sad and immature. Women need to be treated as equals and we are superior in being able to give life.
