1) What a man must know to be able to define himself as a man. 2) Did you ever called your dad to come and fix your things for you? 3) Why doesn't she love me like she did yesterday?
I 100% agree with this. There is nothing wrong with not knowing something. But choosing not to learn will only hurt you in the long run. You reap what you sow.
this is one of my biggest insecurities, and im 31 years old. there are many things ive never grown up doing, but eventually had to do something about, such as simply mowing a lawn, getting fuel for it in a container. i have pretty much no knowledge of automobile maintenance, such as changing a wheel when flat or jumpstarting, because i have never been in such situations requiring it. wish I could learn tho
You’re right, but still from a Zoomer perspective I kinda understand why youngsters are so reluctant to learn stuff. You see, the world is constantly changing. The world of possibilities is incredibly large and the pace of changes is insane. We’re constantly forced to learn everything. Yes, older generations were also forced to learn everything, but the world was a lot more comprehensible. It’s so fcked up, how the older generations project all of their dreams (or rather disappointments) on us. We hear this all the time “I didn’t have this option, when I was your age, therefore you have to do it” and then “I already knew this, when I was your age, therefore you have to know it”, “We’ve never had your possibilities, therefore you have to…”. If you had our possibilities, you’d get crazy. Everyday, we wake up to completely different world and have to somehow deal with it. Boomers don’t have to, because they’re “too old to learn the new stuff”.
The father's advice was not only for the son, but also for the girlfriend. Just like the son should stop expecting others to fix his house, the girlfriend should stop expecting others to fix her relationship.
@@LuisKalilAntunes true that’s the lesson a woman would interpret from that. “If my man can’t fix everything like Bob the Builder I better get a new one.”
I mean, is it though? It's just a girl who finds it unattractive that her boyfriend can't fix a pipe or a stove. Then a boomer comes in and complains about millennials. Wouldn't really call that "deep"
He's absolutely right... if we want a traditional wife, we gotta be a traditional husband aswell, i for one am like a little kid in every way except physically because my parents never pushed me or taught me anything which in on itself starts to bother me nowadays because i start to realize how pathetic i actually am.
@@ankihansen2489 I know and I try, but its difficult because the easy life made me lazy and weak, its only recently that I started changing that but its still difficult.
@@armoredlumberjack1999 I had things easy, but my dad still taught me how to use a multimeter, how to look for quality appliances and lightbulbs, how to fix my faucets and bought me all the tools. He even taught me how to grow potatoes, and make wooden spoons, all while being what I'd say was an upper-middle class lifestyle. I suppose that goes two ways, because that meant he had enough time to teach me stuff and resources to buy me things, and he could afford to take the chance on learning something, even if that meant some small amounts of damage while learning. A lot of people I know were either too busy working and not able to risk something going wrong and taking the time to teach someone, or just couldn't be bothered and would hire someone. He even had me help with tire changes when I was a kid. Everyone should have those experiences, even just to watch someone work and see how things are done, from testing to see if a battery died, to fixing a toilet. There used to be a sterotype that men knew how to do those and women didn't, but I think it's pretty much equalled out now.
@@armoredlumberjack1999 That's good. If it's difficult, that means you're pushing yourself. Keep trying and it will eventually become easy. Because you've made it over that hill, you'll then have new challenges you wouldn't have even considered, and they'll be hard. So it goes, and eventually you'll get to a point where if you look back that so many things will be terribly easy, and you'll be a well rounded and competent fellow, and you'll still have new things to learn. Whatever the case, don't call yourself pathetic, you'll be surprised at how many competent men were useless till they got married and had to start fixing things. It's better to approach all this with good humour and unearned confidence, even if you have no idea what you're doing yet. Because soon you will.
Make your goal something you can't achieve, and start to get there by doing something you can. I am doing this now, after years of being a doughy loser. I am still doughy, but I am no longer a loser.
There's a Spanish saying which says "Mejor solo que mal acompañado" it means better alone than in bad company. A man can take the world easier if he doesn't have to worry about hidden knifes pointed to his back
If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together. After 25 years of going nowhere with women, I am going to go far to the Philippines and hire a live-in maid.
I remember when my dad used to come and tell me to come help him whenever something broke in the house. Even if I didn't want to help, he would tell me to at least watch. I was a chubby kid who only played computer games, so I did it begrudgingly. Now as an adult, at 28 and living alone, I am grateful to my dad for teaching me so much. Thank you, dad. I really appreciate it.
Same here man. But i've never learned anything. And now i regret it. Hopefully at 30 now, i've bought a house, and my dad is happy to renovate from it A to Z with me. I'm finally learning everything i was supposed to learn.
Lol my dad was drunk often and didn't live with us in the house. As a result, I had to learn things for myself, but not really any useful skills until recently. School is the same, no real-life skills taught there either.
My stepfather is a builder. He also knows a lot about electricity and can fix casual problems you will have with cars. He never teached me anything, neither did my mom. And I am talking about life skills and values. It is sad. I had a terrible school life because of that, things that changed my personality to this day. Now, it not only affected my school life, but also started affecting my adult life since I'm 18 now. They are also raising my little brother to be the same way. He is fat, lazy and doesn't like studying, fortunately he recently started playing football/soccer at school. However, the only thing that changed is the fact that he is now actively engaging in sports, but his parents still do an horrific job at parenting him. I do have some sort of hate towards because of that, and I do admit that one of my goals is to earn money to be able to get away from them.
not everything is black and white, definitely both should be taken into consideration; this is a very real scenario. you must view the situation from all the parties involved, and possibly aswell your own
its obviously the husband being lazy, the wife is asking for bare minimum and he doesnt do it, she is not asking for anything crazy, this story is meant to be taken one way.
@@5tone_10 any particular reason that the wife is unable to resolve her own issues without expecting another to fix them for her, but is upset when another person does the same?
And they themselves don't look at themselves to see if they actually offer something aside from looks or skills. One wants the perfect man/woman while one is imperfect himself
@@useritiswhatitis4655 copy and paste what you just said on a video about modern feminism and LGBTQ and watch as the notification bell tips into the thousands
My father died when i was 5 , at home my older brother has already move on with his gf in another city. I was surrending by females, mother sister autn grandma... I've never learn anything cause of that. I'm 22 now and im learning things that i should've know years ago. Bad start dosent mean you cant move up
My dad can fix anything and also studied car mechanics in highschool and yet I don't know shit. While boomers are handy they are were also pretty shit parents compared to modern standards and didn't care to teach me anything, at least That's how I feel it was in eastern Europe. So don't feel bad man, luckily we can learn everything on UA-cam these days.
"Tea with sugar, no lemon" said by father is reference to polish tv series "Blinded by the lights". It's one of the most popular scenes from this series. Dario - person who said it in series is unpredictable and always in control of the situation.
This video has hit me, my father was an idiot, I have never gotten along and it has tortured me psychologically as a child. Deep down I didn't want to learn anything from him, because while I was in his presence he had the ability to say bad things to me indirectly, there was no way to express how bad it made me feel to anyone, I couldn't find a way to express myself. It is this very video that has woken me up to the realization that refusing to learn was of no use to me. I'm brushing my teeth in the kitchen because the bathroom sink hasn't worked for 6 months. I have several things to repair in my apartment, so I think it's a good time to start learning.
I am so thankful for my dad. He inspired me to take an apprenticeship as a mechenic. He tought me how to build/ repair Pc, how to handle finance and so much more. And today I am able to help him around the house. Having a traditonal father figure in todays time is very valuable and thank the lord for him. Keep it up guys and keep trying to better yourself everyday. Everyday we are able to learn life lessons if we keep looking. I hope I can find a good woman in my live to pass down knowledge and wisdom to the next generation.
I find that the daughter telling her boyfriend's father that he didn't teach his son many things, and her telling his boyfriend that she never noticed that all those things were broken, resonates a lot with the father-son relationship. Because the boy still has broken things inside of him that prevents him to be a man, that his father may try to repair in his place, but it is too late. This resonates with the overweight guy saying in the beginning that he is still hurt, despite the gym-goer excuses.
I believe the father just didn't bother to teach his son anything, he preffered to 'do it on his own' rather than see his son struggle and lose patience. A lot of parents don't have patience to teach their children and by helping their children they also like to present themselves as a martyr or samaritan figure.
Bruh whats the freakin deal ? The apliances were fixed and mothin was wrong , even it provided his father time to get to know his son's GF, If dude is rich enough he just can pay for it all , uts nothin serious , prove me wrong bruv
@@ThatOpinionIsWrong that's true. Or simply never showed how to fix them despite the kid asking, and then getting surprised when then the kid can't do sht because for them it's easy.
@@eqqx1108 if you put that time into improving your craft and job instead of learning something that you have little interest in would prove much better in long run , jack of all trades is master of none
I do understand the guy is wrong for not being willing to learn and for being lazy. But the thing is, she hasn't even communicated with him about the issue. This is ironic because instead of trying to fix the relationship by talking about it and putting in an effort, she is considering getting a new man who can fix things for her. Just like the boomer said, "People now adays just get new things when things aren't working." If she truly loved him, then she wouldn't start to give up so easily. She will at least communicate the issue with him and put in an effort. But just like him, she can't fix her sink. Instead, she'll consider to get a new one.
Wasn't her asking him why he didn't fix it himself? Her communicating with him. She had to tell him multiple times to fix the bathroom sink, while she made dinner for him in the beginning. If somebody isn't picking up their weight and you constantly have to remind them too, it's probably a good idea to rethink the relationship. Of course she could've been more direct. Personally, if somebody refuses to change the second time you ask them too they'll never change. If you constantly have to nag somebody to do something, of course your bound to give up eventually.
This is absolutely ridiculous. He’s not wrong for not learning it. Holy fuck it’s such a stupid sentiment I keep seeing. For one it shouldn’t even be a matter of right or wrong but personal preference. Second this video was weird asf imo because basically it’s making the guy out to be a “bad person” because of something that’s so insignificant. If my girl leaves me because I don’t possess a certain skill set… “oh well”. Like what are you going to do be mad at yourself?? Everything else was fine and good but something that can be dished out to someone else was portrayed as her breaking point? Third and lastly I could personally care less that a guy can’t idk fix a toilet let’s say because it’s a stupid skill when you can get a plumber and unless you grew up poor where that skill was a NEED then who cares. I have southern friends who are the type to fix shit with their own hands cause that’s what “real men do” they believe and that’s fine. But I don’t work 80 hours a week to be fucking with the toilet I get someone to look at it the same way my parents did growing up. Stop being weirdos and how tf are people taking her side like she’s perfect wtf do we even know about her???
@@magiic3871 Sheesh, looks like somebody took this a little too personally huh? Seems like you completely missed the point of the video. He could've told her in the beginning of the video that he didn't know how to fix anything in his home. He expects her to cook for him, and she expects him to fix things around the house. She immediately starts cooking for him, while he keeps putting off keeping maintenence around his own home. And instead calls his father to resolve the broken things in his home for him. The girl tried to give him the benefit of the doubt when asking his father. "You never taught him?" But his father replied with "somehow he didn't need to, never had time, or maybe he didn't want to?" The previous caption of the video talked about how men want traditional woman but aren't traditional themselves. The boyfriend expected his girlfriend to cook. But when his girlfriend expected her boyfriend to fix things around the house. He didn't know how. You can't expect to want a traditional woman if you can't be a traditional man yourself. And it's funny you say it was insigficant things, when at the end of the video. She brings up the fact that the balustrade on the balcony was loose and that somebody could've FELL from the balcony. And again he shifts the responsibility to the housing association instead of just taking the time to learn these important skills from his father or to buy the tools to fix up his home like his father keeps recommending him to do. He's not portrayed as the bad guy, he's portrayed as a Liar who has no regard for the place he lives in and constantly shifts responsibility to everybody else to fix things for him instead of taking the time to learn these essential life skills himself or at the very least to ADMIT that he didn't learn instead of constantly promising that he's gonna do something he knows he isn't gonna do. Like imagining living with a person that just completely refuses to put their part in taking care of their own home and instead of learning how to manage things they wait for others to fix it for them. Some of the skills he could've done weren't Even that hard like changing the light bulb, or calling the housing association to screw in the balcony so nobody falls to their death. It's okay not to know how to do certain things, but you have to be honest about it. Or at the very least put effort into keeping your home functional.
@@Costenos The balcony issue isn’t a good point it doesn’t matter if your skilled or not you shouldn’t be fixing that it SHOULD be that association. I see it portrayed as he doesn’t know rather than he does but didn’t care. The point regarding cooking I don’t see how that’s a fair trade if we’re being honest but sure. As far missing the point of the video here’s what I’m confused about how the fuck are we going to consider him or her less traditional for not having certain skill sets? I would consider both my parents to be traditional, but they don’t adhere to these standards to the fullest. My mom doesn’t need to clean and that’s not a breaking point nor should it be. We pay someone to provide that service. My father can and will try to do maintenance but sometimes it’s easier to just pay someone else. I really don’t understand what the fuck people are getting at here? I want a stay at home wife as well but if she can’t cook it would never disqualify her. Now if she didn’t want kids let’s say then 100% gtfoh. But she could learn how to cook or order out or whatever the case I don’t get why people are being so dramatic. You work with what you have and tailor your abilities to your partner’s expectations as much as you can but you need to know the expectations first and I don’t see where they were clear on that shown in the video.
My dad never takes the time to show me how to do an oil change on a vehicle or work around to fix things around the house. It hurts me and I don’t want to depend on him . I want to be independent but he won’t take the time , effort and has the patience to teach me
my father is the same as the boyfriend. Always said he will fix it and then doesnt. half the house was falling apart so I took matters in my own hands. Fixed what I knew how to, searched on youtube for the rest. The point is, if your father is here or isnt, always try to better yourself and learn new things, dont wait on somebody else. Be the man you wanted your father to be.
@@povilasl5383 well it depends on the friend group. We always poke at each other, but if he ia gonna do it(as a joke with a little truth behind it) he has to be able to handle things thrown his way
This is one of my favorites you’ve made. The dad was the best character in this. He showed up, saw the problems goin on, fixed them from scratch, and gave pearls of wisdom about the state of youth in society today. He even said he wasn’t a mechanic or anything. He was someone who just put his hands to work and solved issues using his own real world experience. A lot of folks in this time aren’t at their full potential and expect others to solve their problems for them instead of putting in work to fix it themselves. It’s one of many issues goin on and it’s truly sad to see.
@@hogrider8525 well remember in the video he did say that his son wasn’t interested in wanting to learn those things. It seemed like he was willing to but it just didn’t turn out that way.
@@ComposedSage75 He was not supposed to be interested. I wasn't interested in learning how to pay taxes as well. In my oppinion a parent isn't supposed to let his kid do only the interesting stuff, life ain't gonna work like that.
@@hogrider8525 agreed but look at it like this: you can do all you can to try and inform someone about the real world but if they’ve made the decision to not want to learn then let them be. You did your part by trying to instruct. Everything else is up to them.
@@ComposedSage75 In my opinion as a parent you shouldn't do this kind of thing to your kid, if you're invested in his future. There are some skills that will make life considerably easier, though they might be not interested. Like learning english if you're not from english speaking community, as majority of the world's content in english. While a kid is a kid, the parent bears the responsibility of their upbringing, in most cases kids can't plan ahead that good and be that commited. Your kid ain't supposed to like it, but he might thank you for teaching if you succeed.
I’m glad to have a father in my life that made me wake up early in my younger years to help him do random stuff around the house, now I can do most things myself, thank you dad “I do not fear death, I fear for my parents’ death”
@@enricoamatori6861 well that’s good for you, I’m not saying what you do is a bad thing. It’s not even my job to fix things but I can fix some things if need be around the house and save money.
I am concerned about how the performance of making it realistic gets to the point of making it very closely to personal on these videos, this guy is watching us
Man I've been putting this one off for so long, I feel this but not for the same reason. I've tried to learn but no matter what I do I just don't seem to be able to do anything near the same proficiency as my father. And looking back everyday he showed new skill I couldn't even begin to wrap my head around even now
It's a matter of practice, men used to fill their free time with "tinkering" which was basically practicing various tasks like disassembling and rebuilding stuff or trying to make something work better with DIY improvements. I tried to learn as much as I could from my dad, but it took many years of practicing on my own until I could have a fraction of his proficiency - which is normal, our parents did have a 20, 30 or even 40 year head start on us with these things.
Great message. Stop asking for a trad wife if you're not a trad husband. We clown women for this same thing and we ourselves can't even fix a toilet. EDIT: Hit dogs hollerin'.
no one cares brother, you can be a great worker yourself go work at a house with a chad man and the woman of your dreams seeing your ugly ass working to fix their sink
Being a man is about taking care of those around you. Sometimes that means fixing things. Fixing things doesn’t make you a man, it’s the reason why you take time to learn how to do it in the first place. If someone says you aren’t a man because you can’t fix something, that’s a load of bullshit. Instead ask yourself, “Am I willing to learn? Can I take care of the people I love?” Your answer is in your response.
Exactly. Being a man is about identifying your problems and handling them responsibly. To better your life and those who are in your life that rely on you. Maybe you don't know how plumbing works.. then jump on the problem and get a plumber. Car is jerking all around because the timing chain is off or spark plugs can't hold a charge? Put down the cash and take it to a reputable car shop. Etc etc. TLDR: show you care and who you are by solving problems.
@@bane8305 Is buying your food the same as your parents giving you food because the point is to go hunt your meat yourself? It's about problem solving. If it's more efficient to throw money at the problem (time = money) you do it. If it's more efficient to learn how to solve it, you learn. Usually it comes down to how common the problem is and how much your time is worth.

This is pressure bro. Sometimes i feel like our generation of men, needs a how-to-do guide to help us live as regular functional human beings, but where to find it? Where to learn it? Whats goes wrong? Get the answer to these questions seems like an eternal strugle for me.
yall you really need is a compact drill, every different bits u can get, hammers, air compressor, a saw, ladder, wrenches, socket set. you’re set for life
I don’t understand why isn’t he capable of fixing it, he is literally on the phone non stop when home, why not google if he has no knowledge lol? Is it just laziness ?
My mom is a handy woman. She knows how to change a tire, knows how to fix the freon, put up drywall, change the wires in the wall (Not sure what she was doing but she managed to fix the broken light on the ceiling), and many more I can't name. My grandma knows a lot about these things also, ever since my grandpa walked out on them and started another family I guess my grandma felt the need to teach my mother this type of stuff so she wouldn't need help all the time. Luckily my mom married my Dad and she sometimes teaches him some stuff too lol. Now that I'm nearing adulthood they plan to teach me all the handy work also.
As a dad I can really relate. My son is just….. lazy. He has no drive, no curiosity, no care in the world. I guess I am partially to blame, I made sure he had nothing to worry about growing up but could never instill that hunger.
My father was quite the handyman. He always treated me like shit, insulted me, called me a good-for-nothing kid, had zero patience when I made a mistake, etc. So, I grew up having zero interest in DIY stuff (and in being with him, in general). Up to this day, I'm still quite clueless. And living in a 19 m^2 studio doesn't give me too many opportunities to learn and practice. I learned to attach shelves to the wall without using a drill, though. I don't think my landlord would allow me to make holes in the wall.
even so thats a weak excuse, learn to become handy-man for your loved ones / future loved ones no need to associate your responsibility with your past trauma, the longer you wait, the heavier the regret will seep into you when the situation demands
Same, with time I got better with manual works but just thanks to myself, my father just made me super afraid and insecure in this area of my life , but I'm better that he and also myself thought
To be honest I can kinda relate with that guy. It's not that I never was interested in learning these things. I did learn a lot of things from my dad, like how to change a tire, how to unclog the sink and changing lightbulbs, yet there are still so many things I haven't learned yet in life. And I kinda wonder what I would do if I didn't have my dad around. Most likely look online on how to fix these things and learn from scratch.
I didn't have a dad to show any of these things, now I have to google everything and spend hours even with the most basic main utilities, like a real loser lol
Remember that your father didn't learn everything in a single day, he's taken 50 years to get all the tools and abilities. Wanting to learn is having half the battle won already
As a developing teen in a relationship this resonates a lot with me. I'm almost never secure in my actions as a masculine role model. It hurts but all I can do Is learn and grow
Because you're still a teen. I'm 22 and still need to develop my life and get a house. I know I'm not ready for a relationship yet, although I'm not even interested in one. I prefer to be alone. Don't rush in life unless you know what you're doing and have learned the skills to make it through. My friend, same age as me, already has a wife and a kid, and living in his own place. From a young age he was already working with and learning skills from his father, and they were a very traditional family. My father was gone from us most of the time because he never lived with us, so I had to learn to discipline myself and learn skills. I know my strengths and weaknesses so I'm not rushing through life so quickly.
@@GreenLeafUponTheSky Yeah, I would rather wait until I know im ready. We're broken up now since 2 weeks ago. It hurts more than ever, I lost someone that meant so much to me for almost 4 years. Goodluck
This situation is funny for me I always enjoyed fixing things, yeah you'll need help sometimes but the satisfaction of "getting stuff done" is so refreshing you can even be proud of yourself :)
I am forever thankful for my dad who always took me with him and took his time to show me how these things are done, even if i didnt really listen at the time, now I realize how much those lessons really meant.
I'm so glad my dad taught me to fix things, I fix everything in our house and I enjoy it. I do feel like I will end up fixing my daughter's things when they move out one day... maybe that's wrong, guess I should teach them.
I wish my father taught me how to fix things. Atleast he taught me values, ethics, morals etc. I tried to gain as much knowledge and wisdom from him before he passed away when I was 12. Don't get me wrong, I'm not making excuses, life was just a little harder for me growing up, and still is. Day by day at 22 years old I'm learning things new. That's one of the disadvantages about having a father like mine. (To clarify he was 64 years old born 1936) you don't have much time with them when they're elderly. Overall, I'm still grateful and blessed to have a father because others don't.
@@pingwinner_ If you have any uncles or someone thats older, they can teach you. If not, ask someone or simply use the internet to learn how to fix things. Don't be ashamed to ask questions, brother.

7:27 - "No" - That's one of my biggest issues with women. Lying. Constant lying... Instead of telling the truth, because they hope "he will magically figure it out on his own". And if not, she will just leave him out of the blue.
The Dad's advice in the end was to the girl too, just like the guy shouldn't buy new things if the old one breaks down, the girl shouldn't find a new boyfriend instead of fixing her current relationship.
I really appreciate the dynamic between the characters in this, it makes me grateful to have someone I can ask for help fixing things. The one thing the father can't fix is his kids own drive to improve things on his own, and one day he won't be there to fix things anymore
I feel like I did something like this. I started going out with my now girlfriend. Met her mom and younger sister. No male or father figure around but the mom is strong and surprisingly handy enough to maintain a house with simple repairs and even has an impressive set of tools. We all get along well, including the sister's bf at the time. Some things around the house need electrical work which were beyond the mom and that's understandable. So now I'm installing all sorts of stuff to the house and just being the man that my dad taught me to be. Only later did I learn that I was mogging the sister's bf. I don't think she is into me nor would I ever do my girl dirty but those two split up and she can't find a guy who meets her standards now. Feels bad man.
chad mgsv enjoyer anyways, what you said goes with my observations about modern relationships. it seems like the moment people find out that there is something better than what they have, their first instinct is to abandon it. this means that there is an ulterior motive to their relationships than genuine love, maybe the pursuit of status?
I really love these videos MillenniaThinker. I know you having it rough and I want you to know it's ok. Take your time and make videos when you can. This video teaches so many lessons like they always do. Don't compare yourself to someone's ex because you don't know what it was like to date them. Your worth is more than just your looks. This channel reaches an audience that really needs to hear these things but are too stubborn to go see a therapist. It feeds it to them in an entertaining and digestible way. Keep it up.
This is a problem I've noticed with myself. All my life, my dad has gotten my older brother to do all the dirty work and I was babied growing up. I thought I had it all good, but now, when it comes to work and being able to problem solve everyday things, I'm worse off compared to my brother. And idk how the hell to fix it, I've gone all my life doing things I've wanted, but I feel like doing stuff you don't want to do is what grows you as a person but I'm to scared/lazy to do that now.
Alhamdulillah thanks to my dad. I have been taught how to fix and be alot more brave when opening and fixing things at home from a really early age . My dad taught me everything. Kitchen. Bathroom. Sometimes even the air conditioner.. it is part of manhood
In some way, I agree with dad. A year ago I didn't know anything about how a computer built, now I can build a pc for any task. Half a year ago I didn't know anything about plumbering, but when my old water heater broke down, I just googled how to replace it on my own. Same with furniture, windows, etc. Any time I stumble upon an unknown, I just google how to solve it, not call my dad. And it feels great to be capable of doing something with your own hands.
All people lack something and that's why it's important to know, that love relationships aren't all about lust, and you should be cautious before you sacrifice yourself for them
To play Devil's Advocate.... the older I get, the more time I spend interacting with my parents' generation, which is entering their winter years. If there is any one single thing that experience has taught me, it's that the older generation WANTS to feel valuable and useful. They don't want to be a relic and they don't want to be waited on hand and foot. They want to be valued for the skills they earned over their lifetimes, and to be reminded that even if they're older now, they're still formidable. That being said, there's a huge difference between valuing someone's expertise and just straight up asking them to do things for you. There's a lot of stuff my dad knew how to do that I don't. When I was a younger man I simply didn't care, was too lazy or disinterested.... and unfortunately he never pressed the point. Nowadays, I've lost that chance. But if I could go back and do it again? I wouldn't ask my dad to do things for me.... but I'd sure as hell ask him to teach me a lot more stuff.
I fixed everything that broke to my ex-girlfriend's house, because her ex had no idea how to use even a hammer, but a drill or a watershed? She cheated on me anyway, that taught me not to care about people outside my family and those who were always fair to me.
@@GigaChad-em9qw as you see many in our generation lack morals especially when it comes to relationships. cheating, laziness, cuckolds, poly couples??? but finally finding someone who's hard working, loving, caring and understanding gives me hope to continue on in this life. he's my hope and he teaches me a lot about life and even different hobbies and games and it helps me build up my personality and stop being so weak. (sorry if my grammar isn't on point I'm not a native speaker) if it wasn't for him I'll end up being a lonely old cat lady
@@Elissars I hope that my precious girlfriend is thinking about me like you are thinking about your boyfriend. I am trying to be usefull and be a man for her that she can feel safe with. Hope your love will last forever Elissar :))
When I moved out I only let my parents help me with things you can't handle alone, like a couch, bed, and the desk. All other furnitures I built up all by myself first to show myself that I can handle things alone and that I don't need help only if necessary. I also had a leak in my bathroom siphon. Didn't knew anything about drains and how to unclog it. Asked my mom, she said it's pretty easy, you can do it by yourself. So I went on with it, replaced the old siphon with a new one and didn't even knew what exactly I should do, I just did learning by doing. It felt great afterwards and I saved a lot of money because I didn't need to rely on an expensive plumber. Never knew I was so good with handywork and now my mom calls me, when she needs help assembling something.
Millenial thinker, Thank you for putting this out, I really appreciate this, not only for its presentation but for the undertones underneath, I've struggled with the loss of my Father at a young age and I didn't learn these skills before I needed them.

Plot twist: the guy is adapted to the new economic conditions. He earns enough to buy everything new or hire a repairman. But instead, he invites his old-fashioned pensioneer father to make him feel he is still important and that he takes part in his son's life. And also pays him for repairs he done to support him financially.
nobody talks about the fact that she could've fixed if only she didnt expect the man to be the one supposed to do so, she didn't even think about the fact that also women can learn and they aren't suppose to be only princess or slave but pair rights
7:09 I was in this situation once and I want to tell all the guys here if you get to this point how to get out of it. You tell her "If you dont like how things are, theres the door." And point to the nearest exit. You ask her if shes ok or if somethings wrong she will just say "im fine" or "nothing" while still acting like that. So you gotta say it. I cant stress it enough. Two things will happen. She will either apologize for her behavoir, or she will leave throwing a fit. And if she does was that a woman you really wanted as the mother of your kids anyway? Someone whos going to not cooperate when things dont go her way which will naturally happen? Remember, choose a stable woman as the mother of your kids. Same to you ladies, choose stable men who will lead the marriage.

My Dad is an electrician and has built a handful of houses in his lifetime but growing up with him, he was never interested in teaching me anything growing up. Most of what I learned was self-taught and I think back pretty often at how much more useful I would be as a man if my Dad would have just taken the time to be a mentor an hour or so out of every day. Sometimes it's not just the case of the son being unwilling but the father being completely uninterested. Men are the tools of society that prove their worth by being useful and if you aren't fulfilling that role in some way you have no place except for being a useless lump of sadness. Learn a handy skill guys it will go a long way.
I've done tradie work, and the last thing I want to do when I go home is tradie work. My father was completely useless, couldn't fix a washer in a tap without breaking something, swearing, and beating half the family in anger. I can change an entire hot water tank just looking at youtube. Everything you need to learn is on here, and people who are helpless are lazy or stupid. That said, shop class should be mandatory for everyone in school, if not, compulsory for boys.
If you actually believe a man's worth is tied to their usefulness: Starving men in Africa are net negative when it comes to global usefulness. They "cost" more than they deliver. Do you thus think they are not worth living? Nobody owes you shit. Imagine working 8hrs straight to go home and do the exact same with your son. Absolutely entitled and biased by the internet. Touch grass man. Self-teaching is the most valuable skill in this fast moving world right now. Instead of being grateful you shit on your dad to get accepted by random people from the internet.
Your father didn't love you, my dad was the same. He rather go outside look for tail or play snooker with his friends than mentor me Or spend time with me. The damage was done

What is a man?
I 100% agree with this. There is nothing wrong with not knowing something. But choosing not to learn will only hurt you in the long run. You reap what you sow.
It's like the 'give a man a fish, teach a man how to fish' saying.
Practical skills are useful you never know when You'll need them. Saves you some money in the long run too
Exactly.
this is one of my biggest insecurities, and im 31 years old. there are many things ive never grown up doing, but eventually had to do something about, such as simply mowing a lawn, getting fuel for it in a container. i have pretty much no knowledge of automobile maintenance, such as changing a wheel when flat or jumpstarting, because i have never been in such situations requiring it. wish I could learn tho
You’re right, but still from a Zoomer perspective I kinda understand why youngsters are so reluctant to learn stuff. You see, the world is constantly changing. The world of possibilities is incredibly large and the pace of changes is insane.
We’re constantly forced to learn everything. Yes, older generations were also forced to learn everything, but the world was a lot more comprehensible. It’s so fcked up, how the older generations project all of their dreams (or rather disappointments) on us. We hear this all the time “I didn’t have this option, when I was your age, therefore you have to do it” and then “I already knew this, when I was your age, therefore you have to know it”, “We’ve never had your possibilities, therefore you have to…”.
If you had our possibilities, you’d get crazy. Everyday, we wake up to completely different world and have to somehow deal with it. Boomers don’t have to, because they’re “too old to learn the new stuff”.

The father's advice was not only for the son, but also for the girlfriend. Just like the son should stop expecting others to fix his house, the girlfriend should stop expecting others to fix her relationship.

Never too late to try to learn something. There are lots of tutorials in UA-cam, you know...
@@ankihansen2489 I know and I try, but its difficult because the easy life made me lazy and weak, its only recently that I started changing that but its still difficult.
@@armoredlumberjack1999 I had things easy, but my dad still taught me how to use a multimeter, how to look for quality appliances and lightbulbs, how to fix my faucets and bought me all the tools. He even taught me how to grow potatoes, and make wooden spoons, all while being what I'd say was an upper-middle class lifestyle. I suppose that goes two ways, because that meant he had enough time to teach me stuff and resources to buy me things, and he could afford to take the chance on learning something, even if that meant some small amounts of damage while learning. A lot of people I know were either too busy working and not able to risk something going wrong and taking the time to teach someone, or just couldn't be bothered and would hire someone. He even had me help with tire changes when I was a kid. Everyone should have those experiences, even just to watch someone work and see how things are done, from testing to see if a battery died, to fixing a toilet.
There used to be a sterotype that men knew how to do those and women didn't, but I think it's pretty much equalled out now.
@@armoredlumberjack1999 That's good. If it's difficult, that means you're pushing yourself. Keep trying and it will eventually become easy. Because you've made it over that hill, you'll then have new challenges you wouldn't have even considered, and they'll be hard. So it goes, and eventually you'll get to a point where if you look back that so many things will be terribly easy, and you'll be a well rounded and competent fellow, and you'll still have new things to learn. Whatever the case, don't call yourself pathetic, you'll be surprised at how many competent men were useless till they got married and had to start fixing things. It's better to approach all this with good humour and unearned confidence, even if you have no idea what you're doing yet. Because soon you will.
Make your goal something you can't achieve, and start to get there by doing something you can.

Not going with your usual comment today, turtle?
I remember when my dad used to come and tell me to come help him whenever something broke in the house. Even if I didn't want to help, he would tell me to at least watch. I was a chubby kid who only played computer games, so I did it begrudgingly. Now as an adult, at 28 and living alone, I am grateful to my dad for teaching me so much. Thank you, dad. I really appreciate it.
To watch was one of the greatest advices a father could give. My dad's an editor, and just by watching I learned to use Premiere Pro. Thanks Dad.
Dad OP
Same here man. But i've never learned anything. And now i regret it. Hopefully at 30 now, i've bought a house, and my dad is happy to renovate from it A to Z with me. I'm finally learning everything i was supposed to learn.
Lol my dad was drunk often and didn't live with us in the house. As a result, I had to learn things for myself, but not really any useful skills until recently. School is the same, no real-life skills taught there either.
My stepfather is a builder. He also knows a lot about electricity and can fix casual problems you will have with cars. He never teached me anything, neither did my mom. And I am talking about life skills and values. It is sad. I had a terrible school life because of that, things that changed my personality to this day. Now, it not only affected my school life, but also started affecting my adult life since I'm 18 now. They are also raising my little brother to be the same way. He is fat, lazy and doesn't like studying, fortunately he recently started playing football/soccer at school. However, the only thing that changed is the fact that he is now actively engaging in sports, but his parents still do an horrific job at parenting him. I do have some sort of hate towards because of that, and I do admit that one of my goals is to earn money to be able to get away from them.

This video has hit me, my father was an idiot, I have never gotten along and it has tortured me psychologically as a child. Deep down I didn't want to learn anything from him, because while I was in his presence he had the ability to say bad things to me indirectly, there was no way to express how bad it made me feel to anyone, I couldn't find a way to express myself. It is this very video that has woken me up to the realization that refusing to learn was of no use to me. I'm brushing my teeth in the kitchen because the bathroom sink hasn't worked for 6 months. I have several things to repair in my apartment, so I think it's a good time to start learning.
Progress report man?

I am so thankful for my dad. He inspired me to take an apprenticeship as a mechenic. He tought me how to build/ repair Pc, how to handle finance and so much more. And today I am able to help him around the house. Having a traditonal father figure in todays time is very valuable and thank the lord for him. Keep it up guys and keep trying to better yourself everyday. Everyday we are able to learn life lessons if we keep looking. I hope I can find a good woman in my live to pass down knowledge and wisdom to the next generation.
I find that the daughter telling her boyfriend's father that he didn't teach his son many things, and her telling his boyfriend that she never noticed that all those things were broken, resonates a lot with the father-son relationship. Because the boy still has broken things inside of him that prevents him to be a man, that his father may try to repair in his place, but it is too late. This resonates with the overweight guy saying in the beginning that he is still hurt, despite the gym-goer excuses.
I believe the father just didn't bother to teach his son anything, he preffered to 'do it on his own' rather than see his son struggle and lose patience. A lot of parents don't have patience to teach their children and by helping their children they also like to present themselves as a martyr or samaritan figure.

I do understand the guy is wrong for not being willing to learn and for being lazy. But the thing is, she hasn't even communicated with him about the issue. This is ironic because instead of trying to fix the relationship by talking about it and putting in an effort, she is considering getting a new man who can fix things for her. Just like the boomer said, "People now adays just get new things when things aren't working." If she truly loved him, then she wouldn't start to give up so easily. She will at least communicate the issue with him and put in an effort. But just like him, she can't fix her sink. Instead, she'll consider to get a new one.
Wasn't her asking him why he didn't fix it himself? Her communicating with him. She had to tell him multiple times to fix the bathroom sink, while she made dinner for him in the beginning. If somebody isn't picking up their weight and you constantly have to remind them too, it's probably a good idea to rethink the relationship. Of course she could've been more direct.
Personally, if somebody refuses to change the second time you ask them too they'll never change. If you constantly have to nag somebody to do something, of course your bound to give up eventually.
He keeps making excuses, she said her demands already multiple times.
This is absolutely ridiculous. He’s not wrong for not learning it. Holy fuck it’s such a stupid sentiment I keep seeing. For one it shouldn’t even be a matter of right or wrong but personal preference.
Second this video was weird asf imo because basically it’s making the guy out to be a “bad person” because of something that’s so insignificant. If my girl leaves me because I don’t possess a certain skill set… “oh well”. Like what are you going to do be mad at yourself?? Everything else was fine and good but something that can be dished out to someone else was portrayed as her breaking point?
Third and lastly I could personally care less that a guy can’t idk fix a toilet let’s say because it’s a stupid skill when you can get a plumber and unless you grew up poor where that skill was a NEED then who cares. I have southern friends who are the type to fix shit with their own hands cause that’s what “real men do” they believe and that’s fine. But I don’t work 80 hours a week to be fucking with the toilet I get someone to look at it the same way my parents did growing up.
Stop being weirdos and how tf are people taking her side like she’s perfect wtf do we even know about her???
@@magiic3871 Sheesh, looks like somebody took this a little too personally huh?
Seems like you completely missed the point of the video. He could've told her in the beginning of the video that he didn't know how to fix anything in his home. He expects her to cook for him, and she expects him to fix things around the house. She immediately starts cooking for him, while he keeps putting off keeping maintenence around his own home. And instead calls his father to resolve the broken things in his home for him. The girl tried to give him the benefit of the doubt when asking his father.
"You never taught him?" But his father replied with "somehow he didn't need to, never had time, or maybe he didn't want to?" The previous caption of the video talked about how men want traditional woman but aren't traditional themselves.
The boyfriend expected his girlfriend to cook. But when his girlfriend expected her boyfriend to fix things around the house. He didn't know how. You can't expect to want a traditional woman if you can't be a traditional man yourself.
And it's funny you say it was insigficant things, when at the end of the video. She brings up the fact that the balustrade on the balcony was loose and that somebody could've FELL from the balcony. And again he shifts the responsibility to the housing association instead of just taking the time to learn these important skills from his father or to buy the tools to fix up his home like his father keeps recommending him to do.
He's not portrayed as the bad guy, he's portrayed as a Liar who has no regard for the place he lives in and constantly shifts responsibility to everybody else to fix things for him instead of taking the time to learn these essential life skills himself or at the very least to ADMIT that he didn't learn instead of constantly promising that he's gonna do something he knows he isn't gonna do.
Like imagining living with a person that just completely refuses to put their part in taking care of their own home and instead of learning how to manage things they wait for others to fix it for them. Some of the skills he could've done weren't Even that hard like changing the light bulb, or calling the housing association to screw in the balcony so nobody falls to their death.
It's okay not to know how to do certain things, but you have to be honest about it. Or at the very least put effort into keeping your home functional.
@@Costenos The balcony issue isn’t a good point it doesn’t matter if your skilled or not you shouldn’t be fixing that it SHOULD be that association. I see it portrayed as he doesn’t know rather than he does but didn’t care.
The point regarding cooking I don’t see how that’s a fair trade if we’re being honest but sure.
As far missing the point of the video here’s what I’m confused about how the fuck are we going to consider him or her less traditional for not having certain skill sets?
I would consider both my parents to be traditional, but they don’t adhere to these standards to the fullest. My mom doesn’t need to clean and that’s not a breaking point nor should it be. We pay someone to provide that service. My father can and will try to do maintenance but sometimes it’s easier to just pay someone else.
I really don’t understand what the fuck people are getting at here? I want a stay at home wife as well but if she can’t cook it would never disqualify her. Now if she didn’t want kids let’s say then 100% gtfoh. But she could learn how to cook or order out or whatever the case I don’t get why people are being so dramatic.
You work with what you have and tailor your abilities to your partner’s expectations as much as you can but you need to know the expectations first and I don’t see where they were clear on that shown in the video.
My dad never takes the time to show me how to do an oil change on a vehicle or work around to fix things around the house. It hurts me and I don’t want to depend on him . I want to be independent but he won’t take the time , effort and has the patience to teach me

This is one of my favorites you’ve made. The dad was the best character in this.

@@hogrider8525 agreed but look at it like this: you can do all you can to try and inform someone about the real world but if they’ve made the decision to not want to learn then let them be. You did your part by trying to instruct. Everything else is up to them.
@@ComposedSage75 In my opinion as a parent you shouldn't do this kind of thing to your kid, if you're invested in his future. There are some skills that will make life considerably easier, though they might be not interested. Like learning english if you're not from english speaking community, as majority of the world's content in english. While a kid is a kid, the parent bears the responsibility of their upbringing, in most cases kids can't plan ahead that good and be that commited. Your kid ain't supposed to like it, but he might thank you for teaching if you succeed.
I’m glad to have a father in my life that made me wake up early in my younger years to help him do random stuff around the house, now I can do most things myself, thank you dad

EXACTLY bro. Im assure you you the past 3 or 4 videos by them was very close to my personal concerns.
Bro, its not"this guy", its the system all over, they just happen to leave it out in ur recommendations. Huge coincidence...
@@daplayer1098 can you explain this better?
Yes this one hit close, except for the gf of course. My dad can like fix everything, and although I help him often, I feel I didn't learn enough
This is unironically your best video to date. Writting is really on point this time.
Man I've been putting this one off for so long, I feel this but not for the same reason. I've tried to learn but no matter what I do I just don't seem to be able to do anything near the same proficiency as my father. And looking back everyday he showed new skill I couldn't even begin to wrap my head around even now
It's a matter of practice, men used to fill their free time with "tinkering" which was basically practicing various tasks like disassembling and rebuilding stuff or trying to make something work better with DIY improvements. I tried to learn as much as I could from my dad, but it took many years of practicing on my own until I could have a fraction of his proficiency - which is normal, our parents did have a 20, 30 or even 40 year head start on us with these things.
your dad is decades older than you. the more you do it, the more youll learn.

Being a man is about taking care of those around you. Sometimes that means fixing things. Fixing things doesn’t make you a man, it’s the reason why you take time to learn how to do it in the first place. If someone says you aren’t a man because you can’t fix something, that’s a load of bullshit. Instead ask yourself, “Am I willing to learn? Can I take care of the people I love?” Your answer is in your response.
Exactly. Being a man is about identifying your problems and handling them responsibly. To better your life and those who are in your life that rely on you. Maybe you don't know how plumbing works.. then jump on the problem and get a plumber. Car is jerking all around because the timing chain is off or spark plugs can't hold a charge? Put down the cash and take it to a reputable car shop. Etc etc. TLDR: show you care and who you are by solving problems.
@@TKUltra971 Isn't that almost like calling your pops though if you call a plumber or call a mechanic? the whole point was to learn it yourself
@@bane8305 Is buying your food the same as your parents giving you food because the point is to go hunt your meat yourself? It's about problem solving. If it's more efficient to throw money at the problem (time = money) you do it. If it's more efficient to learn how to solve it, you learn. Usually it comes down to how common the problem is and how much your time is worth.

My mom is a handy woman. She knows how to change a tire, knows how to fix the freon, put up drywall, change the wires in the wall (Not sure what she was doing but she managed to fix the broken light on the ceiling), and many more I can't name. My grandma knows a lot about these things also, ever since my grandpa walked out on them and started another family I guess my grandma felt the need to teach my mother this type of stuff so she wouldn't need help all the time. Luckily my mom married my Dad and she sometimes teaches him some stuff too lol. Now that I'm nearing adulthood they plan to teach me all the handy work also.
learn as much as possible from them,
and never forget their services when they become elderly, treasure their sincerity
That's what gets me.
People just wait until someone do it for themselves.( literally everything)
By any chance, was she a tomboy?
@@michaelangelo1787 what???
Change the wires in the wall💀💀💀
As a dad I can really relate. My son is just….. lazy. He has no drive, no curiosity, no care in the world. I guess I am partially to blame, I made sure he had nothing to worry about growing up but could never instill that hunger.
My father was quite the handyman. He always treated me like shit, insulted me, called me a good-for-nothing kid, had zero patience when I made a mistake, etc. So, I grew up having zero interest in DIY stuff (and in being with him, in general).
Up to this day, I'm still quite clueless. And living in a 19 m^2 studio doesn't give me too many opportunities to learn and practice. I learned to attach shelves to the wall without using a drill, though. I don't think my landlord would allow me to make holes in the wall.
Same here, can barely spend time with him now, don’t worry, it’s all easy, you’ll get the hand of it one day
even so thats a weak excuse,
learn to become handy-man for your loved ones / future loved ones
no need to associate your responsibility with your past trauma, the longer you wait, the heavier the regret will seep into you when the situation demands
@@RatchetRorschach And what kinda diy stuff would he do in someone else's flat? Like you can't even attach a picture on the wall.
Same, with time I got better with manual works but just thanks to myself, my father just made me super afraid and insecure in this area of my life , but I'm better that he and also myself thought
@@mastermindd Thank you lol.
To be honest I can kinda relate with that guy. It's not that I never was interested in learning these things. I did learn a lot of things from my dad, like how to change a tire, how to unclog the sink and changing lightbulbs, yet there are still so many things I haven't learned yet in life. And I kinda wonder what I would do if I didn't have my dad around. Most likely look online on how to fix these things and learn from scratch.
I didn't have a dad to show any of these things, now I have to google everything and spend hours even with the most basic main utilities, like a real loser lol
@@mastermindda loser doesn't bother to improve
Remember that your father didn't learn everything in a single day, he's taken 50 years to get all the tools and abilities. Wanting to learn is having half the battle won already
The boyfriend doesn't know about youtube
As a developing teen in a relationship this resonates a lot with me. I'm almost never secure in my actions as a masculine role model. It hurts but all I can do Is learn and grow
Because you're still a teen. I'm 22 and still need to develop my life and get a house. I know I'm not ready for a relationship yet, although I'm not even interested in one. I prefer to be alone. Don't rush in life unless you know what you're doing and have learned the skills to make it through. My friend, same age as me, already has a wife and a kid, and living in his own place. From a young age he was already working with and learning skills from his father, and they were a very traditional family. My father was gone from us most of the time because he never lived with us, so I had to learn to discipline myself and learn skills. I know my strengths and weaknesses so I'm not rushing through life so quickly.
@@GreenLeafUponTheSky Yeah, I would rather wait until I know im ready. We're broken up now since 2 weeks ago. It hurts more than ever, I lost someone that meant so much to me for almost 4 years. Goodluck

This situation is funny for me I always enjoyed fixing things, yeah you'll need help sometimes but the satisfaction of "getting stuff done" is so refreshing you can even be proud of yourself :)
This is the most true i've read today

I am forever thankful for my dad who always took me with him and took his time to show me how these things are done, even if i didnt really listen at the time, now I realize how much those lessons really meant.
Same
Please tell me about those lessons so I can also learn
I'm so glad my dad taught me to fix things, I fix everything in our house and I enjoy it. I do feel like I will end up fixing my daughter's things when they move out one day... maybe that's wrong, guess I should teach them.
I wish my father taught me how to fix things. Atleast he taught me values, ethics, morals etc. I tried to gain as much knowledge and wisdom from him before he passed away when I was 12.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not making excuses, life was just a little harder for me growing up, and still is. Day by day at 22 years old I'm learning things new. That's one of the disadvantages about having a father like mine. (To clarify he was 64 years old born 1936) you don't have much time with them when they're elderly.
Overall, I'm still grateful and blessed to have a father because others don't.
@@JohnIsaacXIV i never had one and Im starting to realise that I dont know how to do some things like others can.
@@pingwinner_ If you have any uncles or someone thats older, they can teach you. If not, ask someone or simply use the internet to learn how to fix things. Don't be ashamed to ask questions, brother.

I really appreciate the dynamic between the characters in this, it makes me grateful to have someone I can ask for help fixing things. The one thing the father can't fix is his kids own drive to improve things on his own, and one day he won't be there to fix things anymore
I love fixing things around the house. Nothing better when you say “it’s fixed”
I feel like I did something like this. I started going out with my now girlfriend. Met her mom and younger sister. No male or father figure around but the mom is strong and surprisingly handy enough to maintain a house with simple repairs and even has an impressive set of tools. We all get along well, including the sister's bf at the time. Some things around the house need electrical work which were beyond the mom and that's understandable. So now I'm installing all sorts of stuff to the house and just being the man that my dad taught me to be. Only later did I learn that I was mogging the sister's bf. I don't think she is into me nor would I ever do my girl dirty but those two split up and she can't find a guy who meets her standards now. Feels bad man.

anyways, what you said goes with my observations about modern relationships. it seems like the moment people find out that there is something better than what they have, their first instinct is to abandon it. this means that there is an ulterior motive to their relationships than genuine love, maybe the pursuit of status?
I literally have to justify all the time why I want something repaired rather than replaced like I'm the crazy one
Yes I know that case
I really love these videos MillenniaThinker. I know you having it rough and I want you to know it's ok. Take your time and make videos when you can. This video teaches so many lessons like they always do. Don't compare yourself to someone's ex because you don't know what it was like to date them. Your worth is more than just your looks. This channel reaches an audience that really needs to hear these things but are too stubborn to go see a therapist. It feeds it to them in an entertaining and digestible way. Keep it up.
This is a problem I've noticed with myself. All my life, my dad has gotten my older brother to do all the dirty work and I was babied growing up. I thought I had it all good, but now, when it comes to work and being able to problem solve everyday things, I'm worse off compared to my brother. And idk how the hell to fix it, I've gone all my life doing things I've wanted, but I feel like doing stuff you don't want to do is what grows you as a person but I'm to scared/lazy to do that now.
Its not your fault bro, we were kids

In some way, I agree with dad. A year ago I didn't know anything about how a computer built, now I can build a pc for any task. Half a year ago I didn't know anything about plumbering, but when my old water heater broke down, I just googled how to replace it on my own. Same with furniture, windows, etc. Any time I stumble upon an unknown, I just google how to solve it, not call my dad.
And it feels great to be capable of doing something with your own hands.

To play Devil's Advocate.... the older I get, the more time I spend interacting with my parents' generation, which is entering their winter years. If there is any one single thing that experience has taught me, it's that the older generation WANTS to feel valuable and useful. They don't want to be a relic and they don't want to be waited on hand and foot. They want to be valued for the skills they earned over their lifetimes, and to be reminded that even if they're older now, they're still formidable.
That being said, there's a huge difference between valuing someone's expertise and just straight up asking them to do things for you. There's a lot of stuff my dad knew how to do that I don't. When I was a younger man I simply didn't care, was too lazy or disinterested.... and unfortunately he never pressed the point. Nowadays, I've lost that chance. But if I could go back and do it again? I wouldn't ask my dad to do things for me.... but I'd sure as hell ask him to teach me a lot more stuff.
I fixed everything that broke to my ex-girlfriend's house, because her ex had no idea how to use even a hammer, but a drill or a watershed? She cheated on me anyway, that taught me not to care about people outside my family and those who were always fair to me.

What a warm comment session.
When I moved out I only let my parents help me with things you can't handle alone, like a couch, bed, and the desk.
All other furnitures I built up all by myself first to show myself that I can handle things alone and that I don't need help only if necessary.
I also had a leak in my bathroom siphon. Didn't knew anything about drains and how to unclog it. Asked my mom, she said it's pretty easy, you can do it by yourself.
So I went on with it, replaced the old siphon with a new one and didn't even knew what exactly I should do, I just did learning by doing.
It felt great afterwards and I saved a lot of money because I didn't need to rely on an expensive plumber.
Never knew I was so good with handywork and now my mom calls me, when she needs help assembling something.
Millenial thinker, Thank you for putting this out, I really appreciate this, not only for its presentation but for the undertones underneath, I've struggled with the loss of my Father at a young age and I didn't learn these skills before I needed them.

Plot twist: the guy is adapted to the new economic conditions. He earns enough to buy everything new or hire a repairman. But instead, he invites his old-fashioned pensioneer father to make him feel he is still important and that he takes part in his son's life. And also pays him for repairs he done to support him financially.
nobody talks about the fact that she could've fixed if only she didnt expect the man to be the one supposed to do so, she didn't even think about the fact that also women can learn and they aren't suppose to be only princess or slave but pair rights
7:09 I was in this situation once and I want to tell all the guys here if you get to this point how to get out of it.
You tell her "If you dont like how things are, theres the door." And point to the nearest exit. You ask her if shes ok or if somethings wrong she will just say "im fine" or "nothing" while still acting like that. So you gotta say it. I cant stress it enough.
Two things will happen. She will either apologize for her behavoir, or she will leave throwing a fit. And if she does was that a woman you really wanted as the mother of your kids anyway? Someone whos going to not cooperate when things dont go her way which will naturally happen?
Remember, choose a stable woman as the mother of your kids. Same to you ladies, choose stable men who will lead the marriage.

My Dad is an electrician and has built a handful of houses in his lifetime but growing up with him, he was never interested in teaching me anything growing up. Most of what I learned was self-taught and I think back pretty often at how much more useful I would be as a man if my Dad would have just taken the time to be a mentor an hour or so out of every day. Sometimes it's not just the case of the son being unwilling but the father being completely uninterested. Men are the tools of society that prove their worth by being useful and if you aren't fulfilling that role in some way you have no place except for being a useless lump of sadness. Learn a handy skill guys it will go a long way.
Yeah, cause people will be eager to learn something after you called them a useless lump of sadness.
I've done tradie work, and the last thing I want to do when I go home is tradie work. My father was completely useless, couldn't fix a washer in a tap without breaking something, swearing, and beating half the family in anger. I can change an entire hot water tank just looking at youtube. Everything you need to learn is on here, and people who are helpless are lazy or stupid. That said, shop class should be mandatory for everyone in school, if not, compulsory for boys.
If you actually believe a man's worth is tied to their usefulness:
Starving men in Africa are net negative when it comes to global usefulness. They "cost" more than they deliver. Do you thus think they are not worth living?
Nobody owes you shit. Imagine working 8hrs straight to go home and do the exact same with your son. Absolutely entitled and biased by the internet. Touch grass man.
Self-teaching is the most valuable skill in this fast moving world right now. Instead of being grateful you shit on your dad to get accepted by random people from the internet.
Fine then, I will just be a useless lump of sadness.
Your father didn't love you, my dad was the same. He rather go outside look for tail or play snooker with his friends than mentor me Or spend time with me. The damage was done
