@@katmar7870Pretty sure he doesn’t need anyone else to love him. Men have to learn to love themselves, not rely on the love of others for strength or validation. Your idea of what a “Man” is, is deeply flawed and promotes the very weakness mentioned in this comment. Needing validation from another, doesn’t make a man stronger, but weaker. A woman telling a man how to be a better man, is laughable and exactly what is wrong with today’s society. Fathers are there to show boys how to be men. It’s when women try to teach boys how to be men, that we have problems. Women do not understand the mentality that is necessary for a man to be a mature and responsible man. They know what they want from a man, but not how to BE a man, that is the difference.

…. He’s saying to stop being held back by what some people think men should be …. so that you can act how different people want men to be. He’s still saying that you need to man up, and be strong.
Locker room talk and sexual harassment isn’t what being a man is about. It’s about being strong enough to be kind. Strong enough emotionally to confront your failures and weaknesses and turn them into strengths. The first part of what he said about being vulnerable with yourself is true strength.
Listen to what people are saying and determine whether you think it’s true. And if you find it to be false, do not allow it to change you. If you can’t stand up to women or men who are trying to tell you what you have to be, you don’t have the strength of character to control your own life.
@nopenope5203
October 9, 2024 at 2:12 pm
To be forthright, Yes. I am in fact man enough to do all that. Why would I though? Every time I would get in a relationship and open up, sure it’s all sunshine and rainbows in the moment. Then the next time the woman I’m with get’s mad over something stupid like not cleaning a room to her standard, it turns into a dagger to stab straight into my heart. Women are absolutely feral when it comes to emotionally attacking someone. They grab at any weapon within reach to hit you with. So if you’ve opened up to someone you’ve gotten together with, congratulations. You are superman, and you just gave them kryptonite.
You could probably open up to your best and closest guy friends and things will be fine. I would never trust a woman to have my best interests in mind though.
Lastly the locker room talk. 1) I never encounter that anymore. It’s something you only really see with immature “dudebros”. I’d never want to socialize with that sort of crowd anyways. 2) outside of that type of group, whenever men talk like that, 95% of it has no seriousness behind it. It’s generally a way of sharing appreciation for feminine beauty without coming across as feminine ourselves. 3) If I shove my head into a conversation like what is happening in this theoretical locker room, no matter what I’m plan on saying I am an outsider to the conversation. Best case scenario I get a polite snub or brushing away. Worst case scenario, the entire group focuses on me with a negative outlook on my personality. I’m sure anyone with a brain can imagine what a bunch of dudebros might do to a single guy that rudely interrupted a conversation they have no involvement with. It’s literally worth less then nothing to stick my neck out for a conversation that will never leave that locker room.
TLDR: You know nothing Justin.

What is the end goal? What is society’s problem with the men who have protected us from tyrants / who have built our cities / who have discovered cures and created amazing technologies. Etc etc

Be vulnerable, like women.
Be available for women.
Be open to women’s thoughts & opinions.
Be ________ __ women.
Are we supposed to be women? Or what?
Is there a reason that a woman should stop trying to be a woman.
Is one superior over another?
Is the goal to become some generic “in between?”
What is he defining as real manhood?
Something extreme that needs to toned down?
Should a man or woman just try to be less of either a man or a woman?
Or just try to keep our gender/humanity, and try to be less selfish?

@@keithfox7315 the answer is somewhere in-between everything and nothing. Life is way way too complex yet for some reason the majority of us place ourselves in boxes and label ourselves a particular way to fit in and feel like part of something.
Life is way to too complex to compartmentalize. Life is multilayered, multifaceted, and multidimensional, so to place limitations and expectations on it is self defeating.
So if a man carves his own path in life and stays true to himself, e.g showing vulnerability in front of others, if he does it because it’s genuine to HIM, he doesn’t have to make excuses for himself or seek anyone’s validation for it. He’ll draw in the right kind of people. I think that’s what the person was trying to portray.

@@Propyl22 Do you believe there is such a thing as a defined “real man” and if not does that mean if another man has opposite points of view as this dude does that mean they’re both equally Manly? If not it would have to mean there are some things that manly and some that are not regardless of what path you choose or how genuine they are. I’m sure psychopaths who hurt people are also true to themselves but we don’t consider that manly just because he’s being genuine to himself.

@@JoeBlack-mz2yd no, there is no such thing as a defined real man. And if anyone tells you there is, they have to give full context as to what that means otherwise they’re just another grifter trying to indoctrinate you into something that they will benefit from like andrew tate who targeted vulnerable men.
That’s what it’s about vulnerability. Both showing it, and knowing whether you’re vulnerable. A lot of guys don’t realise both ends of this spectrum.
Imagine you are a vulnerable young man who is seeking answers to your issues such as the inability to find love. You’re frustrated. Along comes a person who spells out your issues to you. You fall for their spellbinding ways because they are speaking to your emotions. Before you know it, you’re deep down a rabbit hole, which has taken you further away from your goals. Now it’s both difficult to get out of the new mindset you’re in, plus you have a hatred for women, which was never there when you started your journey for love.
Now consider the ability to show vulnerability. It means you have bags of experience, are at peace with yourself, and that you have the capacity to show emotions because you are comfortable in your own skin. This is what men lack. They also lack resilience and character. Have a look at the interview on diary of a CEO with Dr. K. We’re going through one of the worst cycles of broken men in society currently.
As I’ve said, there’s no defined ‘real man’ – society has a say about it. Basically don’t be either extreme ends of the spectrum.
The question comes down to: What do you want from life?
