"Why don't men open up?It must be toxic masculinity!"

but seeing him break down and cry ruined the image I had of him

She’s not even attracted to the man, she’s attracted to the idea of the man. She views him not as a human, but as a status symbol and him crying ruins her idea and the “aesthetic” that she wanted. He is basically just an object in her eyes that doesn’t deserve to show emotions.

I’ve seen this same stuff happen so many times.

They expect us to be like Superman and if there’s even one chink in our armor then we might as well be dead to them.

But wait, I thought they were the so called empathetic gender and us men were the callous ones? Lol. What can we even do but laugh at the state of this fallen world?

Tale as old as time…

Seriously though this is so upsetting, can’t even cry over our moms nearly dying. What is this world coming to.

This is a very sad and pathetic person and I hope it's fake.

I hate being cruel and avoid it as much as possible, but there was not a single instance when i regretted being cruel in a relationship. (Don't worry i've never laid a single finger on anyone).

On the other hand there were many instances when i regretted being nice and open about my emotions.

There's only one person I'll open myself up to and I trust her with my life.

Quick note for guys:Don't open up to them unless they open up first!

IDK, something about this reeks of bait. I'm not denying that women do this. I know they do. I've experienced it before - myself and have seen it play out in front of me with a friend.

But this just feels like bait. Likely written by a guy to spark exactly what is happening here. One of the biggest talking points against feminist rhetoric and anti-male rhetoric is how hypocritical people are about men showing emotion. This post is too vague yet too on the nose to me.

Imagine not being able to accept that your partner is a human being.

Hopefully that relationship ends, that guy deserves so much better.

I started to read it and instantly feel the smell of a troll
