    ‘Real man’? If anyone implies you’re a fake man they aren’t trying to help you.

      This community is designed and set up to help younger male users figure out the traditional traits of masculine leadership. Recent studies show how lonely and disillusioned young men are in particular. I think we should encourage good traits in young men. And no one said anything about some kind of personal attack against “fake men”. Sounds kind of like a personal issue to be honest, no offense.

        Except these lists don’t uplift men.

        If you’re a man and you do X, then X is a thing real men do.

        Comparing what you do, as a man, to what other men do to check if “you’re a real man” is an inherently insecure thing to do.

        These kinds of lists seek to destroy men’s self esteem. “You don’t do Y? Then you’re not a real man” is not helping anyone. It is a good way of finding men with low self esteem, or creating men with low self esteem so you can sell them things though.

          I disagree, its just a guideline like self help book shit, if you let this type of content get you down or depress you i think you should seek a therapist idk cz im not a professional

            To any men reading after this:

            You see what these lists do to people? They destroy your self esteem to the point that you double reply to strangers on the internet that don’t give you the attention you crave.

            To Wigglehard: Please stop, you’re embarrassing yourself.

            I said what needed saying, you told me to go my way and let you go yours. I was happy to leave it there, thanks for proving my point though.

              I drive tractor trailer trucks for a living and only post while im working, sometimes i cant get back to the person Immediately. And your comment “ you double reply to strangers on the internet that don’t give you the attention you crave.” keep reaching cz tbh i dont care if ppl like it or not, im a keep posting stuff like i have on this website for the past three years and other social networks, if you don’t like this community i would suggest you stop being a cry baby about it and move the on or block me or this community cz your post is pathetically irrelevant to anything other than you basically saying “reeeeeeee how dare you define what a real man is, you’re destroying peoples self esteem mr wiggles, reeeeeee” Just my opinion mr fish dude

                Thanks for proving my point again.

                I suppose I should point out: you did reply to me immediately. Then when that didn’t work you replied to me again, hence “double reply”.

            You’re posting to “random”, not your own sub?

            And you’re posting a lot of abject nonsense about “real men”. All men know how to be real men because they are real men. The only thing they need to know is to ignore the terminally insecure sadsacks who bang on about real men.
