Average testosterone levels in men have dropped by roughly 20% since the year 2000

[Medeea]

“A 2022 meta-analysis (Human Reproduction Update*) found testosterone levels declining 1% per year since the 1980s—accelerating post-2000.
- Young men (under 40) now average 300–400 ng/dL, vs. 500–600 ng/dL in 1970s.”


The incel epidemic makes more sense now. Labor force participation among men aged 20–35 has dropped by 10% since 2000. Gen Z women now out earning gen Z men and in my experience seem more confident and self-assured.
I’m also gen Z btw. Just didn’t grew up in the USA/west.

Does anyone have insight into why this is happening or how can we address it?


Personally, I don’t give a single F about these whiny sissies, but if u study history, u will see that having a large population of dissatisfied young men with nothing to lose always is bad bad news.

All part of the plan

 

[Keep it a boqol]

Shit diet, shit sleep, obesity and lack of movement is the cause of this

Not that i believe wherever this data comes from.
If i were to guess Technology is to blame less people spend time outside therefore creating minimal social life while having reduced vitamin D.

Microplastics. It disrupts hormone production.. look it up.

Not only testosterone but today men have half amount of sperms compared to there grandfather and the quality of the sperm theey produce worse in average. There a good chance that are grandkids will have even worse fertility we currently have if the trend continues

How pollution is causing a male fertility crisis

Sperm quality appears to be declining around the world but is a little discussed cause of infertility. Now scientists are narrowing in on what might be behind the problem.

We need to brag adrenaline-heavy sports like camel robbery and caravan stick ups.

I mean that's an average. I don't like averages at an all. What's the variation across ethnicities, age, social class, income etc.?

I doubt somalis are affected. Whites have a fucked up lifestyle.

Even in women theres a huge rise in problems like endometriosis and PCOS. I think its the stress of work life honestly. Human beings werent made to be stressed out. Instead we were meant to form communities, hunt and eat together and look after one another

That was still stressful. Imagine some days people hunted for 30 hours straight, chasing down prey, waiting and then at the last second they lost it or another group/predator took their meal. or having your pool of drinkable water polluted so you gotta travel somewhere else. today is so much easier and I say this as someone who’s ripped my hairs out after some days

your 100% right but humans were always meant to work hard. Stress will always be there in any circumstance, its normal. however these older humans had support from their own society back then. Loneliness wasnt a huge thing. Influence was limited by communities

idk about you but id rather live in a very tight knit community even in poverty where im not lonely, I had food in my stomach and everyone has a simple role to play to contribute to the betterment of society

in this video is a man asking a hunter gatherer tribe simple facts of life. The people in the comment section are shocked at how simple their answers were.

True, much of our mental problems comes from the fact that we weren't always sedentary. Human civilization had only existed for at least 6000 years around about, for much of our history we were hunter gatherers as you see in that video. Our bodies are also built for it, that's why we are the best at long distance running for example.

Absolutely spot on. Society is breaking down slowly but surely. Today we have the most amount of effeminate men and masculine women due to hormonal issues never seen before at this rate. The foods we eat are processed and full of saturated fats and oils. Pollution in major cities to the point where we cant even see the stars anymore and the moon doesnt shine as bright anymore. Women are suffering from PCOS and endometriosis at a rate never seen before. Girls and boys are going through puberty earlier. Obesity is normalised. Loneliness is on the rise. Males testosterone levels have fallen. Theres a huge mental health epidemic. Most importantly, people arent as empathetic and the bystander effect is global. We are truly living in scary times indeed

One theory I would say for the drop in testosterone is that climate change may be a factor. Male bodies are cooler than females for a reason and it may affect testosteron production

This why all men should learn how to cook their own meals. I haven't ate. Outside food the past 10 months. Due it containing too much seed oils and salt and sugars. In addition to this people in the 2000s walked more. For instance with the advent of uber you don't need to walk more than 5 steps. Now let's not forget Uber eats it's like they society is getting you accustomed to bring imprisoned in your own home.
