Part of the problem are distorted views of the so called perfect life. Hell, Brad Pitt married a cluster B woman in Angelina Jolie.
Is growing up in this perceived "perfect" environment easier? Sure. Is it without problems? Absolutely not.
Yes, it is easier for some people, but unless you are dealing with mental issues like depression, bipolar disorder, ADD, Asperger's etc. there are things that you can do to work on yourself that are much more easily correctible than adjusting with mental health issues.
That's why guys need to work themselves to feel good about themselves before worrying about women.
Nobody here is saying conform or else. We're just saying here's how things work and here's what you can do.
