No Mercy / No Malice: Taking Affection Back

Masculinity

Scott Galloway addresses the evolving challenges of masculinity in modern society, emphasizing the loss of clear definitions and purposes for men. He highlights the alarming statistic that 63% of men aged 18 to 29 in America are single, a significant increase from previous years 1. This trend is partly attributed to the decline in male college enrollment and economic viability, leading to fewer emotionally and economically viable young men.

As a society, we're not raising enough economically and emotionally viable young men.

Galloway suggests that redefining masculinity to include affection and emotional connection is crucial for addressing these issues.

   

Relationships

The difficulties young men face in forming relationships are closely linked to economic and emotional challenges. Scott Galloway notes that the decline in male college enrollment and earnings has resulted in a generation of men who are less viable as partners 1. This has contributed to declining marriage rates and a lack of household formation, impacting the middle class's stability.

We're raising a generation of men who are unviable mates.

Galloway argues that fostering emotional and economic viability in young men is essential for reversing these trends.
