It's a bold assumption on your part that I don't have empathy for my children. My kids and I are very close. They tell me everything. So yes, I know my older son suffers from depression and his younger brother suffers from anxiety.

But I'm telling you that video games and screen time in general increases their symptoms. They aren't yet self aware enough to fully understand that nor make better choices.

I'm 100% in favor of them not dating until they learn how to care for themselves. I've seen what happens, first hand, when a man believes having a girlfriend will save him.

Obviously they are adults and I support them in whatever they pursue, but I'm definitely seeing - in real time - the issues that are being discussed around young men and I think there are some serious misconceptions about what's happening at ground level.

I think women not being willing to date them is in direct response to the video game and porn addictions - and co-occurring behaviors. So maybe we should be talking about those things as the next epidemic instead of the fact that they're lonely because women won't date them.
