In case someone scrolling through here needed affirmation. You are cared about, you do have places to turn, and there are people who will accept you, no matter what.

For me, these kinds of platitudes don't help because they easily crumble under scrutiny.

Why can't I cry? And why can't i complain. Real talk I'm getting fustraited with guys I interact with because apparently when I say low self-esteem sort of things about myself and complain it somehow is offensive to them. Fuck I'm sad. Let me be sad 😡. But yeah crying is fine. It's good to crying once in a while to flush out the feelings.

Tbh the reason we tell each other these things is because of what it takes to attract women... we would all love to be sensitive and have the ability to cry, but the more emotional you are the less likely you are to attract a good partner. Women are turned off by a man who cries. Theyre turned off when a man says 'that hurts my feelings'.

It aint about society its about attracting women. They want the guy whos in total control of his emotions and only lets them out in a positive manner.

You are not normal, and that's ok, no one is normal, in this world, there are abnormal people and fake people

"Men can't cry" isn't a real issue. It's just an attempt at pretending men's issues can be reduced to nothing but "Muh emotions"

Men being the majority of the homeless, Fatherlessness, Unequal Education, Equal Custody, etc. would make it to where men don't have to worry about "crying".

All the ways men show their emotions - including by fighting for human rights - are dismissed and attacked, because the issue isn't men showing emotion it's men wanting equal treatment.

Thanks, I needed that.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I judge everyone when they cry in social settings including girls. It just seems like annoying attention seeking behavior to me. There's nothing wrong with crying alone to blow off some steam but doing it in public is trashy and makes you look like a big baby regardless of your gender.

Try very hard not to show your emotions in front of your woman or prospective, they will use it against you or shun you for it.

Tbh I disagree with everything here except the men dont have to pay for dates lol. Feminity is objectively the biggest issue with modern men.

There's a difference between a boy and a man.

If anyone is look for a less negative space to talk about men's issues: r/menslib is a refreshing change of pace.
