Just posting this to see if there's any other people out there who agree with my way of thinking, but hell most likely not..i'm a rather strange person, people tell me. So i'm a twenty three year old white guy, I work 50+ hours a week as a plumber, I rent a house and live with my girl friend. As a teenager I made every stupid decision and a choice a teenager makes..chasing girls 24/7, not taking school seriously, being a back-talking brat to my folks etc etc and as I type this I'm thinking those choices were not mistakes as much as the normal growing up thing, but my point is I was a regular kid..not really special. But at around like age 19, I realized that I had to start taking my job seriously, build credit, stop the partying, stop letting my cock rule my thinking, stop being a jerk to my family, take charge of my life and try to make something of myself. My parents spent 17 years feeding me, housing me, taking care of me, and putting up with my crap. I meen damn, they brought me into the world to enjoy life. I started thinking that there will be a time that they won't be able to take care of them selves and they'll grow old..and that I loved them and had to make sure I can help to care for them physically and financaly if needed. I pretty much felt i had to grow up and be man, the days of being a boy were over. But heres there cliff, all the guys I grew up with, all my peers, they never hit that point..they just got jobs at like 7-11, stayed at home, played video games and smoked weed, chased girls, and never did anything with there lives..by the time your twenty one, your an adult. End of story. How could a guy be ok with just doing nothing with your life for years? Damn guys, put down the xbox, put down the weed, put down the porn and endless hours on POF trying to get ass, and freeking grab life by the balls and be somebody. I'm far from some super successful person..but I'm the best 23 year old plumber in virginia, i pay my bills, take care of myself and my girl, and contribute to society in my small way. I have a whooole lot of immaturity left and growing up to do but atleast i'm man enough to admit it. Why not save that 60 dollars you would have spent on call of duty assasins creed and put the money in a savings account? Why not save your money rather then waste it buying drinks for whores at the club? Get a good girl and stick with her verses spending every night worrying how to get laid. Working out is important to me, I always make time for the gym no matter how busy life gets..but alot of guys get waaay out of hand with it and seriously neglect to workout the mind. Go read a book, educate yourself on things going on in the world. Don't become a guido. Those guys on jersey shore..they are the epitome of everything I hate. Anyone agree? Again, i'm no one special. The only people who will remember me once I die are my family and future children. Without trying to sound like an *******, I think the world would be a much better place if more people thought like me...but I just wish more dudes understood they have to grow up, take charge, and be somebody. I doubt anyone will read this whole post but thank you if you did, that is all.

That was troublesome to read, but, I did read it.
While I agree with you in someways about grabbing life by the balls and taking control, every generation has had people who sit around and do phuck all, lazy people aren't a product of this or the last generation, though may have become slightly more common.
But OP, be thankful for these people, because they make hard working and active people like me (and you) look really phucking good.

That's a massive wall of text. I think what men now are missing is a "rite of passage", ww1 and ww2 sorted the men from the boys , the latest generations are missing something like that....
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

I had the realization recently too. Except even though I want to push myself to succeed I don't, so I guess I don't want to. Instead I procrastinate as much as possible, I avoid any responsibility, I try to party as much as possible, I worry way too much about girls. See the thing is I know what I'm doing is dumb, and I know that I could be doing so much better if I disciplined myself but I'd much rather be lazy and put it aside till tomorrow. Cept for the gym I can't stand missing a day lol

The answer is real simple. Entitlement. This generation is the generation of give me, give me, and I deserve it just because. Its the generation of ***** and ********. Its the generation of "time out" instead of real discipline.
Nothing to work for, therefore nothing to appreciate growing up. You grow up and enter the real world and then its too late when reality hits you in the face. You don't know how to deal with adversity, don't know how to deal with situations. Hence all the depression, anxiety, etc that has permeated society in the last 15 or so years.
Parents need to teach their children how to be responsible from the beginning. Not when their 18.Squat, Deadlift, Row, Bench, Press, repeat.

Here's an idea, OP.. not everyone is certain about their path in life now that the population has grown drastically since our fathers before us were "men."
Not everyone falls into a way of life they're comfortable with so early on anymore.
Oh you're a plumber? Cool fuking story.
Oh you have a girlfriend? Story fuking cool.
This isn't 1965 where people need to jump into a career out of highschool then get married by age 30.
Lose the holier than thou attitude because you feel ahead of others your age.
You sound like the typical, tradesman, judgemental douche.
Keep doing your thing, it's working for you, great, i'm glad you enjoy staying home every weekend watching Netflix or whatever while you hit the same puss night in and night out for the next 50+ many years.
It's your life do what you want, but don't feel the need to rub others' noses in it.
I'm going to travel, work for myself, save money, bang new girls, and make sure my family is happy.
That okay with you, OP?
Can I be a man yet?
Arrogant prick.

I think you got it wrong. Nobody wants to settle these days. They want the best job, the best looking girl, the most interesting life.. etc etc. People don't seem to realize though that you cant just skip to that. You gotta go through a lot of **** to get there. I agree with you and respect o.p. for being able to support yourself and doing your thing but i would not stop there man. Thats just me though
