One stat says divorced men are twice at risk for taking their lives
 
So redpilled people here probably have no illusion about the danger of divorce; normies need to be redpilled about the dangers
 
Personally I'm ok with marrying, so long as you basically go in knowing it could end in a divorce, which drives up the cost of savings to prepare for a divorce, or maybe at least having an idea in mind of what to do if things go south.
 
I presume a lot of guys who don't have these plans would be more at risk.
 
Then another risk factor is an addiction like drugs, some of the deaths are drug overdoses. So like if people have drug problems here, are they getting help for them or is a forum like here a good place for men to talk to each other about that issue.
 
Financial strain is another one. So maybe a focus on building up a strong career to be able to weather any kind of storms or setbacks? Any tips or thoughts on boosting financial well being?
 
Do you feel lonely and have you found other people to connect with? I think there need to be more organized IRL general groups. At least I remember all these local clubs and private organizations that existed as kind of social outlets where people would go, but it doesn't seem like that has persisted in popularity with the younger ages (plus they don't have the leisure or funds for dues, probably).
 
What are some other risks and how could we make middle aged white men in general resilient to improve the statistics?
 
(Of course some of the problem is structural, the economy being strained by regulations and so on and so forth)

Oh yeah I forgot one motivation I had for these posts was to DEBOONK some things they said. Like that one reason why men are harming themselves is because society tells them to be strong and not get help from a therapist or open up about their emotions. This just sounds like misdirection and gaslighting.
 
Well at least in my experience of talking with school counselors, these people are just as confused about life themselves. So therapy to me is not helpful but maybe journaling is useful instead. Talking to a good man can be good instead though of course. But I've also experienced my emotions do jack squat to fix any of my problems, so I've felt less of them over time.
 
I just overall think the "you need help" narrative is a bit feminine. The reason some men don't get help is because they know they have to do the work themselves. No one will do the work for them in certain instances. So sure you can talk to a therapist but you're going to have to do whatever it is to fix your life anyway. I think instead a lot of these stressors are just nasty and guys don't know how to cope sometimes. So the solution isn't "therapy" so much as make it easier to be a man in society, not as worried about unfair divorce courts and being promoted in school and work to be able to make more to take care of themselves.
