One of the most powerful things a woman can provide a man is emotional support and connection, “being a soft place to land”. We focus on that a lot here in this sub.

Men generally want to play tough around other men, which I get. I think there are certain relationships men can have, like a mentor/mentee relationship, where they can sort of discuss real issues with each other, but overall if a man is gonna get real support I think it’s gonna come from his woman.

That’s why when people ask “what can a woman truly bring to the table for a man?” This is usually my answer. Men do not get a lot of connection, support and love from very many places except their woman. It’s truly sad to me when they can’t even get it there. I go to pretty great lengths to support my husband when he’s going through a tough time.

I think this is where intimacy in a relationship is really important. And healing wounded feminine helps create that safe space. A lot of women act tough because they don’t feel safe being themselves. When I accepted that I was really delicate and feminine and had a tough exterior because a lot of feminists told me I had to be tough but it wasn’t who I was, I started healing.

I’m Christian so I say God really helped me heal there. And showed me how toxic I was.

I started to realize a lot of men were struggling emotionally from the same messages. The women who told me I had to be tough told men they didn’t deserve a space to be vulnerable either. And it’s just sad and wrong the world is like that. Both sides are miserable to keep up appearances.

why is there a sudden uptick in men making posts on this sub about their problems? defeats the entire purpose of this sub

This is a mixed bag. RPW teaches that women are a soft place to land and yes we should be available to support our partners.

However men should also have male friends who they are able to talk to about their lives, interests and hurdles. We acknowledge that men and women are different. There are issues that we will each encounter over our lifetimes that are better suited to hashing out with friends than with a opposite sex romantic partner. One person cannot be everything.

It is a dance and the more society expects the genders to be the same, the more we lose our footing.

Men should lean on trusted men, friends, advisors for emotional support. I think it’s bullshit when I see women talking about wanting to have men open up.

Title: Keep seeing this question

Full text: I’ve been browsing some of the other women’s subs on this site and a question I keep seeing pop up is “why do men need emotional support from women?”

They seem to acknowledge that men need emotional support but then cop out and say that men need to provide emotional support for other men, which is true.

The problem is that for a lot of men, we need emotional support from women. I don’t know why, it just hits different. Just in case anyone was misguided by these other subs, I can assure you that men do in fact want emotional support and validation from women and that it’s not something that other men can provide for us.
