Will companies be happy to hire unhappy men?
Scott Galloway, professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business, author of recently published “Notes on Being a Man”, best seller on amazon. Some of his opinions from different sources, interviews, podcasts:
“Historically, being a provider was a man’s job.” “But women also becoming breadwinners doesn’t mean the role is any less important for men. At the outset of his career, every man should assume he needs to take economic responsibility for his household. A man with a decent job in a strong economy is creating wealth, paying taxes, and earning social capital, not to mention his own self-respect. He also provides stability, support, love, and trust for his family, community, and himself.”
“We’re going to graduate probably two women for every one man from college in the next five years, because men drop out at a greater rate.”
“Men are not attaching to school, they’re not attaching to relationships, they’re not attaching to work. One in three men under the age of 30 has a girlfriend, while two in three women under the age of 30 have a boyfriend. You think, well, that’s mathematically impossible. It’s not, because women are dating older because they want more economically and emotionally viable men.”
“When men don’t have the prospect of a romantic relationship, they come off the rails. They’re less likely to be employed, they’re more likely to engage in misogynistic content, and some men, without the prospect of a romantic relationship, become shitty citizens. What does that mean for society? Because the thing that the most violent, unstable societies have in common is a disproportionate number of young men who feel as if they have nothing to lose because they have no economic or romantic opportunities.”
“Research shows that society, and men themselves, are really hard on men when they’re not economically viable.”
“The percentage of young men aged 20 to 24 who are neither in school nor working has tripled since 1980.”
“45 percent of men ages 18 to 25 have never approached a woman in person.”
“Men have a difficult time maintaining friendships without a romantic partner. They tend to reallocate that energy into conspiracy theory, going extremely online, porn – and they never develop the skills to establish a romantic relationship.”
“I worry we are literally evolving a new breed of asexual, asocial male.”
“I tell my sons, when you’re in the company of women, you pay for everything. And if you can’t, you don’t go out … A woman is not going to have sex with a man who splits the bill with her.”
