Why It's HARD To Be A Guy In Today's World | Asmongold Reacts 

Men never really had advantages, at least not without equal responsibilities

which is get paid loads and sit and do fuck all

Yep, and same story for most people who become self employed (and thus automatically CEOs in their own right). Most people go self employed to do what they enjoy doing -but being in a managing role (which self employment forces you into) often means you'll have to learn 10x more skillsets and actively deal with so much more stuff than just that one thing you really enjoy doing. CEOs in large companies get a ton of amazing benefits, and to the outside it may seem like they're just shoving on responsibility to people below them. But at the end of the day, being a CEO is fucking tough and 99% of people wouldn't be cut out for it even if they had decades of experience.

​@@magnificusdominusduxchad4229 If you think CEOs do nothing, you've probably never actually been around one or worked at a place where you could see all they do

@@The13thRonin Divorce has opened my eyes to this truth. You can't change others, you can only do you.

There's other shit to get done.

There’s a difference between opening up and being a wet blanket who needs a mom. Many of you don’t know the difference.

@@emilymschoener9193its different for everyone and opening up as a male is not worth the risk most of the time

I liked my own comment because I feel like I'm right btw

Well, clearly the spirit is there, sometimes your command, is your obligation, cause at the end is about survival. In civilization, there is so many things to take into account and not many knows what the fuck we are doing, that's why, perhaps, when a problem like a disaster etc where the only desire is to prevail against odds that we understand is more gratifying than playing the game to "Make money"

The men on top don’t want the men on the bottom to succeed. They want all the resources to themselves so their children can have the upper hand. Same with the rich women who co-sign those mens behaviors.

Why not use stone instead of wood in the construction of the buildings? Honest ignorant question.

@@JustDoIt12131 because stone will still get f'ed in a hurricane, and it will be more dangerous for everyone else, plus it will simply be more expensive to rebuild when it happens again, and it will happen again and aggain.

Exactly, so many bad takes from Asmon and Chris in this video.

@@gipgap4 a massive ton of them, so many dishonest points

They also forget to add that majority of women born into wealth were educated. They usually learned an instrument, another language such as German, French or Latin, and also had private tutors and hand maidens. That university argument ignores the majority of the population couldn't read or write and men were still expected to make an income based off of physical labor

@@James_36name 5

Yes but women were still not allowed to go to university.

Women were not allowed to divorce. Women were not allowed to possess money their earned. The owner of a property, estate, etc. could only be a man. So men in general had good financial leverage towards their family members in the past. As for wars, all people die during wars, not only men.

@@ne_alexa The male vs female death toll for wars is so lopsided towards males that females aren't even worth mentioning. In today's modern era of monumental levels of equality, men still do almost ALL of the dying in wars. The ONLY men who experienced the advantages you claim they had in the past were the very few elites.

i believe they are talking about every day life.

@@ne_alexa who were forced to go in those wars? they had benefits but also responsibilities. Now they have only one of those

​@@Rainerac Yeah all these citizens bombed in Europe in middle of battlefield were not forced and were able to leave it. Sure. 😂

Yeah the gender roles for men still r mostly the same. It seems unfair and the only solution is to get rid of them for men.

man, I have a wife, kid, paid for my own 4 bedroom apartment, have a car, and am the sole earner of the family, and i'm still made to feel like a failure.

@@gleipnirrr Why that? Sounds like you have a wonderful life. What's bothering you bro?

I don't feel like a failure, because I'm not growing as a person for someone else. I look at my own progress and what I've achieved. Stay positive and don't give a fuck about what's around you. The sooner you start not giving a fuck the better your live is going. Career wise, mental health wise and physical wise, I am going steady. Sure, there's always people that are better, but don't care! :) Ps this is coming from a late bloomer that picked up his life at 33.

social media changed the narrative in that regard. Men nowadays tend to see there's no fruition on hard work like it once was on the past. So whatever happening is today is just a response in accordance of the present climate.

He activated the 'AcceptableOpinionsTM'. Asmongold knows that if he pointed out reality he would be putting his material success at risk. You're not allowed to notice reality in 2024.

We don't have another choice though.

Asmon doesn't realise the advice "Just deal with it on your own" doesn't work because there are scenarios you can't "Just deal with it on your own" you need outside help. If you're conditioned to never ask for help, then when these scenarios present themselves to you(which they will), very often you feel overwhelmed and many turn to self-destruction. There's only so much water you can fill in a cup before it starts spilling.

I don't think he really means to figure it out all by yourself, it's more only you can decide to go out and seek help.

He just means to not dwell in self pity and try to make a change.

Was going to say the same thing. It absolutely is shunned.

not in reality. In reality nobody will shun you if you behave like Aragon. That is the difference. People will appriciate you more every day when you behave like Aragon. But you will be closer every day to end up in jail if you behave like the "alpha dudes" on youtube tell you how to behave..

How you find out? Pretty sure that is illegal. I had the opposite that happened to me. Company claim to be hiring for DEI, but they didn’t hire me. I asked him “what is the company culture like” he said “we’re mostly white male guys” straight from the horse mouth. I face palm so freaking hard I can’t believe this clown was interviewing me.

That's only one reason. There are plenty of other reasons you did not get the position. If a company didn't want to pass you up, they'd hire you regardless, you just aren't worth it yet

If you have reliable source for this, that is an easy lawsuit.

Stop crying and go get the next one.

​@@HiuchiKiyokothat's not how wars work...

It's also a bad example because during a war everybody is suffering. Are children not killed and raped during a war? Are women and non-combatant men are not killed? If we are speaking about a defensive war when people have to protect their home from an invader it destroys everyone's life not only men's. If we are speaking about a war on a foreign land it is a different story. Men can be conscripted to invade and then it's a morally wrong law in my opinion. However, if men have chosen to service then I see no problem.

Sorry that happened to you bruv. Takes balls to still see the good

What do you want to talk about, though? Nothing is going to change what happened. It is what it is. Move on with your life, man up, and stop blaming the past. Nobody is coming to save you and nore should they. As a man, you have the strength within you to not need approval.

100%. Young men hold all the real power in any society. And when they have nothing to live for it’s going to be painful. And older men will support younger men because they have witnessed their sons suffer for things beyond their control.

@@solomani5959 Sounds good, but what's actually happening for decades now is older men serving their own interests, not giving any fucks about their children, and in my country, young people are never gonna be a population majority, so since we're in democracy, we'll continue getting fucked unless some miracle happens.

No, they won't. There are still people walking around in masks in summer of 2024 and telling people to get vaccinated for covid and other people who have gotten their 5th booster and are happy to just pretend nothing ever happened. People will instantly forget anything inconvenient.

Very good points and I whole heartedly agree. I'm no giga chad that can get any woman I want. I'll be 40 next year and am on the long haul weight loss journey but even if I could find a woman why would I really want to when so many of them will just use and abuse you . I have zero urge to put up with multiple failed relationships. I literally have zero drive to father a kid in a world falling apart. All be it if things weren't so bad I would but just naw screw that noise

Male disposability

Wealthy old men(politicians) send young men who are usually less monetarily advantaged to fight their wars and die for their causes. Now it's still mostly old men, but also some women although I have no idea how they voted on the wars, but I assume some have also voted for them.

There was a veteran who said that, after WW2, many men came back to America on a boat with their fellow soldiers from the same regiments who they knew and had friends in. Meanwhile, Vietnam vets came back in a plane piecemeal with random people from various different regiments who they didn't know and couldn't talk to or decompress or come to terms with what they went through. The support structure just wasn't there. Add to it the reception when they got back home, well...

While objectively true, you think raising kids and cooking and maintaining a home is not insanely hard? Historically women did ALL of that around the clock, men didn’t have to assume any responsibility there. It’s exhausting, I say this as a guy.

That’s the best advice. Work out, try to eat healthier, be around your friends, and keep an average life. When the moment asks for you to level up, try to take advantage and repeat your process.

@@SirBitingBen Hang in there man

I grew up as a poor white person too, and you have to understand, the "black/white" dynamic that is dividing people is a primarily US issue. When slavery was abolished, black people were given freedoms, but they were left behind everyone else, they weren't all given great education, jobs and houses all of a sudden. And everyone who wasn't descended from slaves, their family had all that time to establish themselves. That is the real reason black people want american white people to be "accountable" to some extent. There's also a reason colonialism is brought up a lot, we came and reaped benefits and resources from those countries, and left them to pick up the pieces. You have to put yourself in their shoes.

Interesting. But I still don't understand what compassion is compared to pity? You talked about role models, so would it be something like, acknowledging that you are going through the same challenges together?

@@rtyzxc Compassion means empathy from position of equality, or partnership. Pity means empathy from position of (implied) superiority, or charity. The former assumes responsibility from the one who receives compassion. The latter assumes subservience and dependency in exchange for pity. Homer Simpson would be a good example of a man who doesn't evoke pity, despite acting foolish, because he rises to occasion and despite his faults he is there for his family and friends when he is needed. He is butt of many jokes because he can take it.

probably just a petty criminal

Have you heard of undeadchronicXIV

He's right.. it's the same reason they're bringing truckloads of young capable ablebodied foreign men into all major cities across the US. Our current military would fight back against major tyranny but pay a foreigner and promise them a better life if they go against the masses, and the army has a tool to get rid of the population. If you think this is tin foil hat ideas, you just haven't been paying attention.

but they want strong women? c'mon, your brawn means nothing against a technologically superior power. What does a strong man have to challenge them with that a strong woman doesn't? Are you going to take your fists or your baseball bat or your machete and go marching into the capital? The only threat that governments in major countries are worried about is political backlash costing them an election. Maybe if you live in Haiti or something.

JP is also a practiced psychologist who knows his shit. It's insane people put him on the level of Tate.

@@ILoveGrilledCheese no, peterson is not a part of any "political party" as you put it. But there is alot of data on what lifestyles are more likely to make people consume anti-depressants, develop personality-disorders and commit suicide etc, which you can easily look up and research on your own. But that data is not something your political trench will allow you to accept, because it will support exactly what the clinical psychiatrist encourage. You welcome.

JP's take has it's own issues, in that it puts the vast amount of responsibility on the man's shoulders, even tho' there's very little pay-off. It's asking to be noble while knowing you're likely to not be treated in the same manner. It's basically a very outdated trad advice that worked for his era but just doesn't anymore today. In that sense, the narcissistic Tate one might actually be more appealing to men since it's kind of a "fight fire with fire" thing. Personally, I'd prefer a more "don't play the game when you can avoid it" approach tho', cause I just find their approaches to be a stressful existence while I just wanna chill : D

​@@ILoveGrilledCheese I don't think the left likes men so why would anyone recommend men to go towards the left wing. Atleast the right doesn't actively hates on men.

@@mbrown7325 Personally I think the coping mechanism that was lost was feeling of belonging. Being part of community. Feeling responsible for more then just yourself. What I mean by this, as with alcohol, it doesn't make your problem dissappear, but makes you endure by giving you a feeling. Alcohol gives you feeling like you can do anything. Sense of belonging gives you feeling what you do matters.

@@mbrown7325 Alcohol and drugs are still rampant.

It has happened before in history

The only generations that ever had women be socially, sexually, and financially independent from men in human history have resulted in complete cultural havoc which will at minimum take generations to reconstruct meanwhile all the people it's destroyed will continued into bitter old age.

No. There has always been a "battle of the sexes". Women didn't have an equal standing position until very recently ( to be more precise, women were not considered people until as late as the 1920s, yeah...) and this made any abusive tendencies of men towards women to be normalized, thus giving the men of the past "an advantage". But now such behaviour is seen for what it truly is and this recognition created movements against sexism, the feminist movement being the most known, but in the midst of this conflict misandristic people also emerged claiming a false feminist position. Today's men's problems are coming from the standards set by old stereotypes as well as the unreasonable expectations coming from these said false feminists of today. But regardless, both men and women have always faced the same problems: unrealistic standards. People need to realise this and stop taking sides, this is what the feminist movement is all about. I do agree that this movement needs a better name nowadays.

It's a simple case of values in that situation.

You can also argue that people in extremely affluent families are just as likely to be fucked up if their parents are too busy working all the time to take the time with their kids and teach them those values from a young age, think about how many "rich kids" you hear about being total scumbags.

@@purple66666 This is a misunderstanding of the past. Men just like women had expectations on what to wear, how to act etc. The elite had access to education. Most people never had a chance at attending anything past grade school. Voting was heavily tied to production/industry where only men worked which is why it made sense that only men voted. There were no AC cooled offices back then. Men did not have the right to choose their partners any more than women did. Families needed to agree in order for their children to marry. Some of what you are saying is true for a very brief time in history post ww2 (1945-1965) but for most of history what you are saying is complete fantasy.

Except you can't use this reasoning when multiple countries include women in the draft and have in past. And as present as in past, persons who are not upper class cannot afford to have a marriage and family on a single income.

Because if it was so easy and simple it wouldn't be a problem.

"YOU aren't gonna change the world, give it up. Stop it." its not sad but true. the world is changed by organised groups, and not individuals. even people like cesar, adolf and others had people who backed them. you alone are not going to change the world. least so if you are a gamer and watch motivational videos. thats just reality. caring for YOU instead is great advice, since thats managable, compared to changing the world which is inevitably going to fail. but maybe thats why you wanna change the world to begin with: so you dont have to deal with yourself. the world functions in a certain way and either you can adapt and live somewhat decent in it, or you dont, you try to change it, fail with it because its not possible for the lowest 99% of society and be miserable for the rest of your life. in this case, asmons advice is rock solid. "Just focus on you, and you'll be happy." That's not true for alot of people man. false. if you focus on yourself and are successful with your own life, you will attract other people who are also that way, and thus you will develop a social circle thats worth something. as compared to be someone who doesnt focus on himself, thus doesnt develop properly and attract opnly other people who are miserable. only worrying about your well being isnt sad, its mandatory. if you dont care about yourself, why would anyone else? all that mindset isnt toxic, sa, pessimistic or even blackpilled, that you view it that way says alot about your unrealistic idealism. it will not work.

@@raze956 The world is changed by individuals. Help your neighbors, be kind to people. People stopped caring, they took on Asmon's mentality, and look where it has led.

Not only that, it's illegal for that grant or scholarship to be exclusively for men. That's why you don't see any.

I agree that throughout life we should always be trying to change ourselves for the better and aim to be a better person each day, and learn to adapt to our surroundings. 11:17 I also agree with Asmon that a person shouldn't put the responsibility of changing the world on their shoulders, however I disagree with the notion that trying to change the world for the better is unhealthy. There is nothing wrong with trying to make a positive impact on the world, and in fact one could argue that's what we should always be striving for, whether it be on a large scale or small scale, like just being nice to the people you encounter in daily life. It's not unhealthy as long as you don't beat yourself up and be disappointed if you are unable to change the world, as long as a person tried, then they can feel good knowing they gave it a shot. I'm not saying everyone should be trying to change the world, I just don't think we should discourage people who want to try and make a difference in the world. Martin Luther King wanted to change the world, what if someone had told him that was unhealthy and told him just to "change himself." What if someone had discouraged him(I'm sure plenty of people did.) Sometimes people who want to make the world better end up succeeding, so why discourage it.

@BeanCasserole-wg7wu I guess more to the point, people tend to judge others and critique their lifestyle, instead of focusing on what they can control and change (i.e., themselves). This isn't a standalone idea either; there's biblical references to "take the plank out of your own eye before taking the spec out of your brother's eye". I prefer Tolstoy's quote because it's clear and seemingly always relevant. In the same vein of "what do we owe to each other", I highly recommend reading "How to be Perfect" (title is sarcastic of course). It's surprisingly insightful on the topic of what we owe to each other (written by the creator to The Good Place).

@@caddph Yeah I definitely agree, I really like the plank quote that one is classic. I just didn't completely agree with what Asmon said in the video.

Men are raised with the same expectations they always have. Unfortunately the expectations that women are raised with have changed in an incompatible way.

@@Xulahrules for thee, not for me am I right?

@@thatcringedfacedou it’s totally fine that women’s expectations and how they are raised is better. But we need to raise our men better.

Men aren’t allowed to better themselves for their own personal benefit. It’s all for someone else.

Buddy, it is what it is, no one gives a fuck. You said it yourself, men just men up and deal with life. There's nothing to address because no woman in the world willl pretend that it even exists and there's even less chance to openly addressing it. one of women main issues (not saying here men have none) is the lack of accountability and desire of all the perks but no duties. In other words, don't wait standing and just keep taking care of yourself

A healthy relationship in 2024? That would be the day. There are zero good partners left in the world, and the dropping birthrates are getting worst every year. Nobody wants a partner anymore. They always want something from you and then some.

No, asmon is actually not wrong here. U can express your emotions to friends/family/therapists all you want but doing the same with ur gf/wife is the dumbest advice you can give a guy. U are supposed to be her rock/shoulder in life and showing weakness/crying is the fastest way to lose her permanently.

And what happens when you eventually self combust ? Or are accused of cheating with the therapist ? Being emotional and expressing your emotions is not wrong.

To bad am the only real comment your getting right back us men are just walking wallets love went extinct long ago

Genuine question, what is wrong with persons being free and choosing to opt out of life for you? If persons think life is not worth living, specifically their life because it is mainly suffering and won't be changing any time soon through no fault of their own, why is it your or anyone else's business if they choose to opt out? It is one thing if it is from mental health issues that cloud your mind to reality but it is another when the person is making a logical conclusion after weighting pros and cons.

@@adalheidisofadamahcaptaino18 I'm surprised my original comment is still here, but there is no chance whatsoever of me thoroughly answering your question without the message being deleted, and I'm not typing out the several paragraph answer that would be needed just for it to disappear. Suffice it to say that opting out is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and it *_does_* cause harm to other people, not just the person opting out, in most situations.

@@Proud_Knight Death comes for everyone, why is it supposedly different when you take matters into your own hands? Not much more harm to others is caused than what would have occurred if they died from other means especially if they were murdered, would be identical in fact.

@@adalheidisofadamahcaptaino18 Life is a finite resource, and all finite resources are valued to some degree because of their scarcity alone. That value is then multiplied by the usefulness of that resource. By its very nature, life is extremely valuable. To the individual (we'll get to the societal value later) it is valuable because you've already come into the world, and to exist only to suffer is tragic. Why make absolute certain that your life is tragic when there is always a considerable chance that you can turn your life into something better? You are already here, what is there to lose when you always have that final option anyway? And you might say "what about those who have already tried everything they possibly could?" and to that I say, okay.. I don't entirely disagree. But let's be real here, most people don't get to that point. Most people would have lost their life doing something reckless long before running out of reckless choices. And if you do manage to make something of your life, the reward is unimaginable. And this isn't even to touch on the value life has to society. Human beings are social creatures and we need each other to survive and thrive. We depend on each other in many ways, and everyone we lose in our communities and families has a tremendous impact. Plus who knows what you will come up with or contribute towards in regards to technology, and with every invention or innovation there is no telling what advancements will build off of it. And so on and so forth; Every bit of wasted potential could set us back as a species by decades, centuries, or even millennia. And again, sure, there might be the very few people who don't have that potential and eventually come to know it for a fact, but I don't see much of anyone managing to get to that point without checking out unintentionally in the process. Now if that was all there was to it, then there would be an argument for a select few cases where opting out is a truly logical choice. But that _isn't_ all there is to it. This choice has a psychological impact on those who know the person, an impact that can be so strong as to completely change a person's life through the trauma. People intuitively _know_ what I've said above about the value of life. Most people anyway. Because of this when someone loses their life at an early age we feel the impact of the loss that much harder, especially if the loss could be avoided. And by the very nature of the act, it is an avoidable end. This is why death is treated differently between when it is expected (old age) compared to when it isn't expected because of illness or an accident. And it doesn't matter who you are, there is someone out there that would mourn the loss of your life. I don't believe there are any exceptions, even if it ends up being some stranger who hears about it on the news.

Don't toll away for society, toll away for yourself. Pull YOURSELF up by your boot straps. Nobody else. And regardless of the satires around that phrase, the valuable thing about that phrase is basically "focus on building yourself up". Mentally, financially, emotionally, etc. Don't fritter away your time and energy on stuff you can't change or is out of your reach or etc. Focus on what you can do and improve that. And then when you're done look at what you can now improve in your new upgraded place in life and repeat the process. You'll find over time all those little improvements to your life and mentality and processes and etc add up like compound interest and whereas before you were struggling just to survive now you'll be stable. A rock that can not only survive any storm but do so comfortably and happily. Meanwhile the bitter people blaming life, society, men, etc will often still be their own biggest enemy trapped in their own miserable life of their own creation. Forget about being top 20%. Just focus on accomplishing what you want and being happy. I make 43k a year. I've got 10k in the bank and 800 credit score and I work at a job I enjoy and live a life I enjoy. It didn't happen on its own. I earned this over many years of hard work 1 slow piece at a time overcoming myself, overcoming relationships, overcoming finances and debt, overcoming the job market, etc.

I'm not going to lie, some of that falls under a "I put in my time raising mine, I'm tired and done.' mindset, because we survived and didn't blow our brains out, but we should never stop looking after each other. Though it'd be called alt-right and 'sexist', there really does need to be a collective mentorship of older guys just showing the younger generation how to get shit done, not in that dumb fucking way they're pushing now. What's sad as older guys, we really do have a wealth of experience, knowledge, and an innate desire to pass it down. I think there's just that generational disconnect and the situation is just waiting for someone to break the ice.
