Do NOT talk about your 'feelings'

As a man do not talk about your emotions or emotional state with anybody, specifically if you are in a depressed or negative state.

It makes you seem as if you are weak and not in the right mindset to be respected because your going through some things that are clouding your judgement, therefore you are not in the optimal position to be around.

People go to a man for advice for their own problems, not to take on more. It automatically puts off most people because quite frankly no one wants to hear it, they have enough going on in their lives to listen to you expressing your problems like a water fountain.

If you are constantly talking about how you 'feel' and all these types of emotions then no one will pay you respect or hold you to a higher value.

In this society men are supposed to be stoic in a sense, and not let things affect you past your outermost shell. Of course this isn't always the case but we must put on a mask or give the illusion that we ARE under control and we expect to eat problems for breakfast.

This is the type of man that is universally respected, and that other men strive to be.
