the next time you're watching the sun rise, you'll know what's also heading your way.

A lot of women won't compliment a man because they're worried their kindness will be mistaken for sexual interest. Which is a sorry situation for everyone.

Thank you

Well, growing up in a southern country town here in the U.S. A lot of my female friends never wore makeup and were more interested in shooting sports. They were always the most beautiful when they were just doing what they wanted and not focusing on their appearance. We had beauty pagents and stuff, high school girls that were obsessed with looks and all, but I never saw the appeal of that. They looked much better natural with the confidence that they were more than their appearance.

Fix-it-ability, like any other skill, requires training. It's not instinctual.

Most times it's easier just to let it go ..... No drama. Failing that a good fist fight solves most petty squabbles.

I make no secret about this. My greatest dream has always been to have someone to share my life with.

Literally just enjoying existence in the moment

I can confirm. Sometimes you just don't want to get out of bed or do something because you just can't.

Depression is serious. No matter who you are. I just don't know if a "professional"can handle all the issues I deal with . There's a lot going on up in there.; aka:my brain.

It took decades for morons to realize that women weren't in "hysterics" and were just genuinely angry at stuff. It's gonna take so much longer for society to accept men have more emotions than lust, anger, and happiness because YoU'rE nOt A mAn If YoU cRy. I sincerely hope whoever came up with that sentiment is burning.

Everyone around me thought I had anger issues, myself included. My Mom is the one who told me that some men who suffer from depression act out in anger from it. I took her advice, saw a psychiatrist, got meds for depression and its like im a new man. Everyone around me commented on how much I've changed for the better. All that anger was just me being seriously depressed and anxious. I no longer hate my life too.

Yup! I actually bonded with a friend in high school over shared views on the importance of acknowledging the importance of mental health and prioritizing it in our everyday lives! I need to reach out to my friend and his wife. It’s been too long!

I know so many men who were fired from work and sat in their own juices for months feeling sorry for themselves. Whereas women are conditioned to tough it out and will get a job, whatever it needs to be, to keep going. This phénomènon is seen the world over. Depressed men expect to be catered to, but depressed women are not allowed to be sick for long.

to be fair, this is said of everyone with mental health problems

My brain cancer and epilepsy diagnoses dictate what I can and can’t do sometimes. I wasn’t able to go to Machu Picchu in 2016 due to the risks of high altitudes associated with my first diagnosis, and now, going completely off-grid is especially risky thanks to my epilepsy diagnosis.

Mental health problems are truly gender neutral. As long as you're human, you're susceptible. Turning to God usually helps.

Part of the problem is most men are raised with a "Lone hero" mentally. A guy is expected to solve his own problems, showing weakness or asking help means you failed as a man. So guys feel isolated and alone because it feels like no one cares or wants to help which leads to tragic ends. But everyone needs help at some point. There is no shame in it.

Early in our marriage, my wife (bipolar 2) used to get frustrated when i would get sad because "I need you to be strong for both of us." When I finally went to a doctor and got my diagnosis and rx, she apologized.

Only 60%?

Honey, I am frequently 'depressed as s**t' - I get it.

And deep depression can lead to serious anxieties... which are not easy to get rid of. Just don't expect sympathy if you're a man.

Men typically are not encouraged to speak up about their feelings. As children parents will ask their daughters why they're upset but will tell their boys to stop crying and toughen up.

Sometimes, when its bad, I can't help but think why bother with even trying. It's just gonna get screwed up again. Then there are the times where I have to fix something to be able to fix what I started out working on.

Which it is not right to have a trans gender male in women's sports.

Men physically have more muscle cells.

Yup.

Well we're told to "man up" or whatever from such a young age, it's not even not knowing why we feel a certain way. It's not even understanding what we're feeling.

I would think this applies to all people, not just men? 🤷🏼‍♂️

We're like dogs really! We'd like nothing more than to curl up on the sofa, head on your lap, and get stroked while we doze.

And somehow, we are all born with the knowledge of these rules.

Because if they wanted us to know, they'd tell us.

Actually, most of us chaps who managed to get to being a grown up (at whatever age) want precisely that, some of us are actually an ickle bit romantic too x

So, knowing this, why wouldn't you (a woman) say what you mean? why play games? why want them to read your mind? why getting pissed at them for something you saw in your sleep? And after all, complain about not having proper communication... This is not always the case, but i have seen it over and over between many couples

I have no idea what this person is talking about.

Doesn't everyone do this? 😅

He was being nice. He realises. And it's weird, because the minute you're in a relationship as a guy, it seems women start throwing themselves at you. Whether it's because without the nerves of chatting up you notice signals more, or that being in a relationship makes you more attractive to women, I really have no idea.

We can, more than we're given credit for actually lol (I do acknowledge however that it's not all of us).

The man in the photo is leading the woman up to the edge of an erupting volcano. We do that stuff all the time.

I honestly would love this-

ProTip: take heed of surroundings -- do not stumble over walkway obstructions.

Um... that's what "The Shake" is for.
