Natural Selection And The Modern Male

Many modern boys and men are experiencing an existential crisis.

Outside of my TikToks that I post, I don't really post anything on social media. However, I spend a fair amount of time on various apps like Instagram and YouTube.

There are so many men out there who are angry and upset at women. There are so many women out there who are angry and upset at men.

Let me address a small portion of the male side of this epidemic.

Around the world, millions of men are realizing or have realized that they will never pass on their genes to the next generation.

What marks success in nature? The passing on of one's genes to the next generation.

It is coded deeply into our DNA to procreate. In fact, the Bible tells us in the early part of Genesis that God commanded Adam and Eve to be "fruitful and multiply".

For the modern woman, she doesn't need the consent of another man to pass on her genes. All she has to do is visit the sperm bank. This is not the case for modern men. There is no egg bank. For a modern man to pass on his genes in an ethical way, he needs the consent of a woman.

I would argue that men between the ages of 18 and 60 are in a situation where, due to one or multiple facets about them, they aren't and won't be able to pass on their genes to the next generation. Whether it is their various attachment styles, their inability to talk to women, their inability to connect with women, women's lack of desire to procreate with them or other factors, these men are doomed in this area.

When looking at it through the lens of natural selection, seeing this level of anger, bitterness, resentment, rage, and anxiety totally makes sense.

The advice of going to the gym, make more money, dress better, have good hygiene, and all the nice, solid pieces of advice these men have received and heard time and time again, simply isn't working for them and won't work for them.

This may sound harsh and ugly, but unfortunately, it is the truth.

Look at it this way:

Imagine, briefly, there is a patient with lung cancer and he is told by his doctor to eat healthier, stop drinking alcohol, stop smoking, start exercising, and undergo chemotherapy, and this patient follows this logical advice.

He decides to follow his doctor's advice and fully commit to this plan.

He eschews fast food and starts eating healthy foods. He gets rid of his alcohol and goes down the path of teetotaling. He gets rid of his cigarettes and weed. He exercises daily. He goes through the chemo.

But the cancer remains and continues to grow.

His doctor then gives him a referral to a surgeon.

The patient underwent surgery, but the surgery was unsuccessful. The cancer remains and continues to grow.

Outside of divine healing from God, which is very possible, this patient will die from this cancer.

These men are the equivalent of this cancer-stricken patient.

The current environment they are in has them in a position where they can't succeed in this area.

Let's try another analogy. Think about giraffes for a second.

If there are giraffes located in an area where there are 8-foot trees and 12-foot trees, and there are giraffes with longer and shorter necks, what happens to the shorter-necked giraffes if all the 8-foot trees die out?

What good is the advice from the giraffes with taller necks telling the shorter-necked giraffes to simply reach longer and higher with their necks or jump up or climb?

This advice is useless to the shorter-necked giraffes. They cannot just reach longer because their necks can only go so far. Jumping and climbing don't work because giraffes cannot jump or climb. They will panic because they are going to die out due to a lack of food. Secondly, they have no chance of passing on their genes.

These men are in a situation where, due to the modern dating/mating/marriage landscape, their "make-up" doesn't allow them to find a woman, pair up, and procreate with.

This is partially why there are men who are filled with these negative emotions.

Just food for thought...
