The Myth of the Mama’s Boy
03-16-2012, 06:46 PM
I've never really met a "mama's boy."
Most guys, when on their own, live pretty filthy lives. Bad diet, lots of Cheetos, take-out food, not doing laundry often, not folding clothes, being messy, leaving socks on the floor.
But they survive just fine without their moms.
Women find it annoying that men are messy, but oh well, that's just a gender difference rather than a fundamental flaw of men.

Lack of positive masculine experiences and worthwhile opportunity creates the mama's boy. It's hard for young men to really have drive when the odds are stacked against them, which I'm sure contributes to the rise of the pussification of American men. "Why should I drive hard to finish college and be top dog, if I'm only going to make barely enough to survive and be burdened by huge student loan paybacks? Why should I go out and try to pick up girls, if they're all fat and stupid and ugly? Why should I move out of my parents, if it's expensive and just means my quality of life and disposable income will drop? Fuck it, I'll keep playing video games!" You know why young men and boys get hooked on video games? They can compete and win in them. If they could have a better chance in life, in capitalism, a more fulfilling reward, I'm positive they would.
Wait, what was this thread originally about?

My first boyfriend was a Mama's Boy. Tragic.
He could even think by himself.

I was always under the impression the whole "Mama's Boy" thing was just a shaming tactic for women to get their fiancee/husband to side with them over the mother-in-law.

I've met a few true momma's boys. Sad.

Well, I don't put up with girls that complain about me spending time with my family, mother would be ever so displeased if I did.

But how do you think a son should be brought up? Is it true that parents should let their son fall, hurt and learn moreso than their daughter?
And does too much "nurturing" and meddling by the mother have a feminizing influence on the son, causing him to grow up a mangina and not into proper manhood?

There are plenty of masculine men who were raised by single mothers, though some tend to exaggerate their masculinity to overcompensate for their lack of male foundation. Off course, there are effeminate men raised by women as well.Can't generalize.
