Define “soft times” because I don’t know what that means, but you say it like we should be hitting our heads on rocks to avoid it.

@@kintyjtheaardvark5549 I believe he’s referring to this quote:
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times”
Though he used the word soft instead of weak.

Woman are going to be graduating college at three times the rate. If some men are scared of losing power and control, get back to school.

Dis guy wouldn’t stand a chance anywhere. Ultra beta. Nobody likes the school hall monitor (all ppl) except Karens. Male attributes make us safe and healthy as a society. He’d run at the first sight of danger. Seen that behavior in guys like him before.

This comment is more a tell about yourself than anything else. Try to be better, then maybe someone can love you someday.

@@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.

Can we redefine what being a man is? (Because I can’t achieve what other men achieve so let’s change it so I can fit into that category)
I think this talk was more for himself than anyone else!

…. 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.

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.
