You're too kind Wyzz Kydd, thank you very much. You must know by now that the respect is mutual.
I'm a software developer with no reason to complain, God has blessed me in many ways along my unusual turns in life and my several careers. Anyway, my yardstick of being "rich" is having just a bit more than one uses or needs for others, and by standard I'm rich. Heck, I even have a Camaro that I bought new (first new car in my life, probably the last, too) and was able to build it to the max that I can handle.

I'm not sure about you, but my circle of friends and family do not fall into that narrative. So I can't say "Most Guys" by any stretch...

Friends and family is a small circle, many times a bubble of like minds we shouldn't extrapolate from. I based my post more on my work experience, I personally met and meaningfully interacted with at least a thousand people from most corners of the world throughout the years, and while it's nowhere near the total 8 billion, it's a much better sample than just family and friends. (Being old school and having grown up without computers or the internet, online presence always feels much less than real to me
—oh the irony of me typing this into a forum chat box, but whatever 
—, so I can easily disregard that.)
I can attest that there is a pervasive lack of real, authentic men in our society, which is what I took as the gist of genxer's semi-hidden message. Been working on at least not being part of that problem for many years. But all this is way off topic, I'll end it here before evoking too much moderator irk.
