This is true! I coach little league baseball, and have been doing so for over 20 years. The overall decline in strength of adolescent boys is evident (at least for kids in the United States). I see ten year old boys that can't do one single push up or pull up! I attribute this to the decline in outdoor activity. Too many of my little league boys are inside playing video games instead of being outdoors playing sports. So they grow up to be weak men!

Did they test the strength of their non jackoff hands?

There was also an interesting Japanese study about nearsightedness and outdoor activity levels. Nearsightedness rose when parents stopped pushing their kids to play outside and when the kids didn't go outside during their time off from school.

What if one is not motivated to workout?

You don't need to "workout" (pump iron) to develop muscular and skeletal strength. We once lived in a very agrarian type society. People had to work the land, so digging and plowing along with hunting for food indirectly caused men to be fitter and stronger than your average pencil pushing desk jockey of today. Heck most young boys today have absolutely no interest in working on cars or motorcycles like the generation I grew up in. Generally speaking they don't want to get their hands dirty or break a sweat. I look around my neighborhood at the high school boys running around and I seriously doubt if any of them has ever been in a fight.... we live in a new era. It's the "pussification" of men!

This is on parents.
My dad and I worked on an old Honda 500 when I was 8.
He made me fight back (with fists) when getting messed with.
Taught me not to snitch on friends.
You want little men? Make them.

Lack of physical activity is a contributor, but the explosion of zeno estrogens in the environment is a bigger culprit. It has also been linked to smaller average testicle size, increases in ED and infertility in young men, lower testosterone in men, and precious puberty in girls.

We ARE making them. Aren't plastics great!

precious puberty in girls.

Precious, precious female puberty.

Precocious. Damn auto correct!

Well look at the stuff they put in the food. 30 years ago depression, obesity, diabetes, and much more diseases was rare. Testosterone was higher because the food quality was especially better and was much more nutritious. Everything revolves around money now. Now because of "Female Empowerment" there is nobody at home to raise the kids and they grow up to be little devils. Both parents are at work all day and don't want to come home and cook. You are left to eat frozen and fast food.

With how expensive cars are nowadays and by the time those kids grow up they are going to need some sort of computer degree along with knowing basic mechanic stuff to fix their car. They are better off knowing how to program to fix a car than knowing how to change the oil at this rate. Hell, nowadays you can't just crack open any car within the last 5 years without needing a computer to really know what's wrong with it. I will agree that learning basic things like changing a tire is needed. I never learned, but then again I don't have a car so there was no reason to learn.

Being a fight doesn't mean those children are pussies, it could be there isn't anything worth fighting for or anything that causes a fight. I've never been in a real fist fight either, but then again it's hard for most to bother me enough for that to happen. If I went around picking fights as a kid for everything that pissed me off I would have been in jail by the time I was 14.

Working on cars is based on what people enjoy, not based on how much"pussification" is going on or the lack of making men. That's just a stereotype that men have to work on cars. We lost the men have to make weapons too, but I don't see parents teaching their boys how to forge a sword.

Telling your kid to fight doesn't necessarily make "men". Telling your kid it is fine to fight back when it is necessary so the kid doesn't turn into a psycho is what being a man is. Appropriate use of strength rather than just tossing it around.

Not sure what the snitching thing is.....if something is so severe then you should be warning someone else, but yeah taddling is another thing.
