I'd like to know why they think men are mute? There are a lot of ways men disclose their problems. People won't listen and demand men disclose their issues in a particular way like specifically asking for help with a specific issue.

If a man's demeanor or habits change, that's an indication of maybe a conversation needs to be started. If a man stops initiating sex with his wife, she automatically assumes an issue, but if a guy who usually likes eating out for lunch starts brown bagging it, she's not concerned unless he tells her there's something wrong.

Warning signs are the same thing as talking, but since they're not women's preferred method, it gets panned as men not seeking help.
