Junge Männer in Großbritannien sind wahrscheinlicher als Frauen, um bei den Eltern zu leben Der Wächter

And then down in paragraph 5:

‚This reflects a trend seen across Europe‘

Ok – so it’s NOT specifically a UK thing.

Are more men withdrawing from society like in parts of Asia?

So we’re going to have specific and targeted support for men and boys now that they’re the ones lagging behind right?

How does that work if the ratio of men to women is about the same.

Women living with other women? Women living alone by choice?

Not really suprising tbh. Women generally go out with older guys specifically because they have stability and a house. Equally, women are far more likely to get council houses especially if they already have kids where as single men basically have no chance. Easiest way to save for a deposit is to live with parents, job done.

Plenty of rooms for rent are clearly stated as women-only.

I’m 40, decent income and gay and I have found the rental market very restricted as so many properties are only on offer to women. Being young, male and not on 100k a year must be a nightmare…

Interesting, so what are young women doing differently not to live with parents?

I am 23 and I am currently saving for a house with my boyfriend while we both live at home. We are looking at buying within the next year.

My friends that are women have moved out or have large deposits and have plans to move out. Majority of my friends that are men seem to have absolutely no desire to move out or any motivation. I know many even nearing their 30s that still live at home with their parents and zero plans to look for houses and move out. And tbh a lot of it isn’t the case of people having no money because some of these people are on more money than me and house prices are extremely cheap around here as well. I don’t know why there is such a difference between my friends that are men vs women but its something ive noticed. The only men I know who have moved out have moved in with their girlfriends. I just find it strange because I want nothing more than to buy a house and no longer live at home.

And continuing the trend since the mid 00’s we continue to act baffled that men aren’t thriving in a world designed around:

Complex emotional communication skills

No physical strength requirements in well paid work

Advanced degrees for previously apprenticeship roles (requiring essay writing to pass, see point 1).

Competition in schools discouraged.

the fucks going on in this thread. half the comments are blaming this all on women golddigging and half think the best way to get more support for men is doing weird „mens rights“ self pity. (theres loads of good mens mental health groups popping up recently btw, and a lot get govt funding).

Its a cultural thing, and its very complex: a lots from a world not long ago where everyone shacked up young, and women were homemakers. Plenty of dads about who cant cook or clean; and plenty of kids who look up to them. to the modern fucked economy: where young guys are encouraged to save money by staying at home so they save to buy/get into stocks or crpyto/ or just have a coke or drink habit that hurts their ability to rent.

To the loneliness problem gripping young men, which means rounding up a few pals and housesharing is really hard, or that living on their own would be isolating compared to staying with their folks

its really complex, and really hard to fix, but just going for tired fucking tropes isnt helping anyone but get some little reddit points.

Because young men don’t have a shining heroine in armour to whisk them away and live their best lives together. Men now have to work hard for a fraction of what women get.

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I believe some of the points raised do have merit. Part of the issue likely stems from young men underperforming in school and university compared to their female peers. Anecdotally, I’ve also noticed that men often seem to mature more slowly.

Here’s the controversial part of my view: in male-dominated fields, hiring managers are often men themselves. When two candidates, one male and one female, apply fresh out of university with no work experience, the female candidate may sometimes have an advantage. This can be due, in part, to various diversity initiatives aimed at increasing female representation in these fields, such as in programming or tech.

Additionally, there’s a subtle social dynamic at play. Young women by virtue of youth, which is often tied to perceived attractiveness, may benefit from subconscious biases. Male hiring managers might enjoy working around young women more or feel more reluctant to fire them. These biases, whether intentional or not, can result in young women receiving an edge in early hiring decisions and through this process they get experience quicker and climb those initial stages of the corporate ladder faster.

This is really controversial too so I apologise. But I do also believe they are held to a lower standard than their male counterparts within the workplace. More is done to not upset them, and they are catered for within male dominated environments in a way the equivalent man wouldn’t be. I have seen women shouted at by their boss, cry and their boss has been forced to „make it better“. Try this as a man and see where it gets you. This is an extreme end of this unfairness but their is an imbalance across the spectrum.

This unfairness also contributes to the difference in perception of women and men when they are older. There appears to be a feeling later on that women were essentially treated with kid gloves in their career up to that point, so relative to a woman, a man is seen as more accountable and reliable as this is assumed it is the way they have been treated since their work life began. I think this is unfair too, but this prejudice appears to put them in good stead in their career at a later stage, it then serves as a negative bias against woman.

I think the problems and unfairnesses women face are numerous but talked about often. I think the unfairnesses young men have to suffer are minimised and ignored.
