More people in Europe are dying than are being born, according to a new report co-authored by a Texas A&M University demographer. In contrast, births exceed deaths, by significant margins, in Texas and elsewhere in the U.S., with few exceptions.
Texas A&M Professor of Sociology Dudley Poston, along with Professor Kenneth Johnson, University of New Hampshire, and Professor Layton Field, Mount St. Mary's University, published their findings in Population and Development Review this month.
The researchers find that 17 European nations have more people dying in them than are being born (natural decrease), including three of Europe's more populous nations: Russia, Germany and Italy. In contrast, in the U.S. and in the state of Texas, births exceed deaths by a substantial margin.

Well, the majority of guys don't seem to have that problem. In your case there is one common denominator though.

If you are lying in your posts, what's the point? Nah. I don't think you are lying about who you are at all.
I think you are just thin-skinned and can't take criticism. In which case you shouldn't post in the first place.

It is not that simple...
Up to "recently", mammals had mostly 2 ways of dealing with the family:
1: solitary, leaving the young at a small age
2: live in a flock
The human being used to be in the second option, until recently.
There was the village, clan, the family - and not just the core family.
Neither the man nor the woman had to shoulder so much as they do today.
There was always a safety net, there were always people to ask, there was always people around.
Culture and common sense gave reasons for people to get along with others.
Now, many people do not have an optimal relation to family and live more or less solitary life.
For many, it is the core family, the man, woman, and children.
From what I have seen, this is a burden for all.
The woman has nowhere to turn with baby/child issues, except to the medical centers, equally young friends or nowdays the internet. There is not the safety that she used to have in the presence of the older woman and the community.
The man, no matter how charismatic and good man he is, can not compensate for the doubt and hardship. He can not be that "strong" as it is expected of him. Also for him, the older and wiser men are not around anymore
We have become advanced, but lonely... We do not live in a way we were "meant to".
Ps: that I am a failed human being and a nazi does not make me an idiot.
If you look at my posts, you may feel offended, but I do not lie, and do not make hardcore claims about my abilities.

that I am a failed human being and a nazi
The words 'failed' and 'Nazi' do not belong in the same sentence.
National Socialists do not fail as human beings. In fact, they live rich lives where they not only increase their own self-worth but also make solid contributions to society.
While the rest of "humanity" is watching television programming generated by "friends of humanity", National Socialists produce something of lasting value. It is of utmost importance to National Socialists that they live successful, fulfilling lives as well as help their own kind do the same. By being successful, they produce value instead of taking it. By showing others how to succeed, they create believers.
Having a healthy relationship with a woman is natural. But women are too vain these days, watching television and believing it and not knowing that the ones running television are their enemies, not their friends. It is not surprising that it is getting more difficult to find a good woman these days. But a man has to do the best he can. Things were never easy and a National Socialist likes to be challenged. And he succeeds because he believes.

Kids, this is what happens when you think you've taught yourself ecology: sure, you can make a good-sounding argument, but you don't know enough to understand that your basic premise is bullshit...
Live free or fuck off and take your naïve Libertarian fantasies with you...
