I've pondered this at times myself. I think it's somewhat generational too, I just didn't see same level of dysfunction in the last generation. I may be wrong, but it sure seems like it's true.
If it is true, the bigger question is what social dynamics are involved for that.

Well, the observation has been made here several times that due to the explosion of personal technology, people raised with that haven't learned basic social skills. Though that's debatable, there's been some agreement here on that point. Though it probably doesn't explain everything. There must be other factors involved.
One thing that's been a constant over many generations is that parents tend not to be very involved with boys. Is it different for girls? I don't know. But parents need to be more involved with their kids overall, setting an example, bonding over weekend activities, and gently offering guidance.

Either way, I've yet to meet a guy on this forum that was FIXED through therapy. For all the advice that this forum gives, it would be nice to hear from someone that has been told to go to therapy, actually went to therapy, and fixed his problems.

Right. The ones that get advised to do that either don't, or if they do, they go away and we never hear from them again. Which might be a good sign. It might mean they resolved their problems and don't need to post here anymore. (She said, optimistically.)

It's probably a whole host of issues I think things like dads not being around as much the last couple of generations, a general lack of "standards" of conduct, too many latch key kids in general and lazy parenting as well.
Sociologist probably can more accurately pinpoint this stuff down.
