What do men need?

NewMoonlightavenger · 2025-09-29T11:00:54+00:00

Honestly, I think only peace and quiet. With that, most men can sort their issues out.

Personally, I want to see the discrimination against men and boys end. No men’s support group can do that.

SimpleGuy4Life · 2025-09-29T10:59:03+00:00

Honestly nothing out of the box imo. Just be there for each other and make good recommendations / give good advise when it comes to the above categories you mentioned.

For example if I want to learn plumbing, depending on my location I'm based in, where or who can I reach out to? What are the certifications needed?

PastDifficulty7 · 2025-09-29T16:26:14+00:00

Honestly, that is a bit broad. What is your elevator pitch for the club?

Local-Willingness784 · 2025-09-29T17:29:44+00:00

maybe focusing on activities together as much as possible? i mean that as in ways to be active as a group in the beginning to foster camaraderie and shared goals that everyone can participate in.

Role models and role model selection.

We have entered a time where there are fewer quality male role models than ever. Part of this has to do with discrimination against men, with the narrative being pushed that men can't be trusted with kids. If you wanna do mentorship these days, it's gotta be through an organization like Big Brothers, and it's still socially awkward because people will just assume the kid has no dad.

Another contributing factor is that kids look to influencers because it's easy and its quick. While there are some quality role models online trying to teach life skills, i think we can all agree that the majority of the influencers targeting kids are just grifters.

Another big reason for lack of role models is society's interest in the opinions of celebrities. There is a rising attitude to condemn people based on their beliefs. One bad opinion and that person's whole credibility goes down the drain. Obviously, there are some opinions thar should sink a persons reputation, but that line has been shifting aggressively since the release of social media. Why do we care about the opinions of athletes, actors, and other celebs? Where does the expectation come from where people need everyone elses opinions to completely align with their own?

I hope this works out for you and the men in your community. I applaud your efforts.

Freedom from women would be a critical component. Places that excluded women, did not do so simply because they thought less of women but realized that men need places to be men without women chattering their ears off or otherwise judging.

Both genders need spaces the other cannot go. For men this will mean peace and quiet, to think and resolve their issues as u/NewMoonlightavenger mentioned.

As a man raising a daughter, there are a million books about womens empowerment and heros and yet growing up, men and boys need to seek out our own role models.

I want to see more role models

Odd_Gene_7314 · 2025-09-29T11:06:18+00:00

Pub? Social Club?

Upper-Ad9228 · 2025-09-29T21:27:56+00:00

We want to be allowed to be men, not made fun of, not talked down to. There’s a lot of bad dudes out there setting us back all the time, that’s the ones people talk about. They need to champion the good guys. All I see and hear is how bad men are. It’s exhausting.

Ending discrimination, in a collective effort

NAWALT_VADER · 2025-09-30T07:16:44+00:00

Since I will never have the finances to make this happen, I will put the idea out there for those who may.

Man Caves.

There are many abandoned malls or other large under- utilized spaces where some buildings can be repurposed for greater purposes.

I imagine a repurposed abandoned mall, or better yet, a purposely created facility that provides a place for men to gather and be better.

It should include a place for exercise, for hygiene, for nourishment, for mental health, for relaxation, and for anything else that could be supported.

I'd like to see a repurposed abandoned mall that has a gym, swimming pool, restaurants and coffee shops, dental and medical offices as well as on-site psychologists, barber shops, dollar stores for essentials, an arcade, place to play pool, watch some sports, have a beer.

I honestly believe men need a place like this. This could save society.

hellowelcomegoodbye · 2025-09-30T22:01:32+00:00

Honestly, genuine trust , thats pretty much it

AdIllustrious6191 · 2025-10-01T02:08:27+00:00

Much as I admire the idea, the best thing you can do for men is leave them the hell alone. Moat men only want to go to work and come back to a peaceful home and drink a beer. We're not complicated at all.

Deconstructing expectations of them "as men" as opposed to as humans.

Falconoflight777 · 2025-09-29T13:42:25+00:00

Same rights women have, it might be surprise for you, but men lack dozens of rights women have and "got" discriminatory duties women dont have. Men are marginalized and dont get government help programs despite much less marginalized women got them for OUR tax money. Etc etc etc

Saluki2023 · 2025-09-29T22:09:41+00:00

I have found that a lot of men need to understand that its ok to have feelings.

Upper-Ad9228 · 2025-09-29T12:16:54+00:00

they need MORALS! too many men are virtual signaling but then go not my problem whenever they do anything shitty.
