30 Men Come Vent To This Thread About Things That Bother Them But They Don’t Talk About

Many things are bothersome in life and many people make sure to let others know when they are. Some, however, are unable or unwilling to express what troubles them, consequently keeping all the emotions bubbling inside.

While anyone can belong to the latter group, it’s often men who find themselves in such a position. In a thread started on the ‘Ask Men’ subreddit, they shared their thoughts on the topic after one netizen asked them about things that secretly bother them but are rarely talked about. Ranging from emotions that they have to hide to having to follow a certain standard, among other things, their answers covered all sorts of aspects of everyday life. So if you want to learn more about what bothers them, scroll down to find their thoughts on the list below, where you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with the person who started the discussion, u/permanentburner89.

30 Men Come Vent To This Thread About Things That Bother Them But They Don’t Talk About This doesn't just bother me. I f****n' hate it...How TV commercials, shows and movies constantly portray men, especially husbands, as buffoons. The trope of the idiot, shlubby (fat) man-child husband with the slender, beautiful wife is pathetic. Do women like this sh*t? What does it say about women? They like marrying idiot man-children?

It is so bad that a man on Tik Tok posted that his freakin' 6-year old daughter asked him why all the dads in the movies never know anything. Even children see it. You rarely see men, husbands and/or dads portrayed as men of integrity with purpose who love & support their wives, children and community. G-d help all the sons of the women who grow up with moms that hate men and think we are all stupid.

I hate it too. I worked for a family forum website for 10 years and they are full of posts how men can't take care of themselves, which is bad enough. But the amount of women who basically found this cute 'teeheehee mine is the same that is just men for you' made me really angry. It's not your fault the guy acts like a toddler but ffs stop making excuses for him.

30 Men Come Vent To This Thread About Things That Bother Them But They Don’t Talk About I think one thing that really bothers a lot of men is the pressure to always be the 'strong' one. Society expects us to be tough and unfeeling, which can make it hard to express vulnerability or ask for help. It’s not like we don’t have feelings; we just feel like we can’t show them without being judged. I wish it was more accepted for guys to talk about their struggles openly.

In an interview with Bored Panda, u/permanentburner89, the person who started the thread, admitted being quite surprised by what fellow netizens pointed out. “I am a man but I was actually quite surprised at the answers; I got them after hearing them but I still didn't expect them.”

He continued to share that the thing that secretly bothers him the most is how often society thinks they understand the male experience, both positive and negative, when they actually don’t. “I don't think they have any clue, and I don't think you can unless you're a man,” he said.

The redditor is right saying that no one else can really understand the male experience, other than men; the same way they can’t experience exactly what women go through even if they have an idea.

The differences between how men and women see the world or interact are believed to be largely affected by upbringing and gender roles. According to an international trainer, key-note speaker, author, and consultant, Dr. Audrey Nelson, as kids, men and women are usually raised in the same environment, but they tend to be interacted with in very different ways.

“Research indicates that girls and boys grow up in what appears to be identical environments; however, they are nurtured in totally different social-emotional climates,” the expert wrote for Psychology Today.

30 Men Come Vent To This Thread About Things That Bother Them But They Don’t Talk About Sports. From rec, all the way up to pro. Small children watch their parents grossly abuse teenage refs that are just trying to ensure these kids get to play. Preteen kids play a sport, year round, with no time for their bodies to rest and recuperate. I knew a kid that had Tommy John surgery before he could drive. Teenagers that have practice until 10 pm, and still have to manage schoolwork. Time at practice and games, instead of family time at the dinner table. Kids can barely read and write, but make it all the way through school because they play a sport.

People treat other people like garbage because they like the wrong college. People won’t wear a certain color because of a loyalty to some college sports team, at a school they didn’t even attend. People make their schedules around football games, and miss out on family events like weddings, because of a college football game.

People have been knifed because they follow a professional sports team. People show up to work, where they make money to pay their bills, hungover because they were up late watching sports the night before. There are professional athletes that can barely speak coherently, because their education was secondary to a game. People will pay to watch a game, but are behind on child support. That is baffling to me. The amount of money spent on sporting events is astronomical.

I will never understand how some people worship at the altar of sports. I can enjoy watching soccer or baseball games, but I have a personality, independent of it. I can enjoy watching my children play their respective sports, without feeling the need to berate another human being for a missed call, or throw punches at some other kid’s parent for cheering an injury. It’s disturbing.

“Toddler boys may see that parents (particularly fathers) frown upon verbal play for them—it is not manly to talk to dolls or mimic mother’s speech, even though she is most frequently the adult speech model at home,” Dr. Nelson continued to point out. “Boys’ play centers around action rather than talk. What boy talks to his action figures? His toys (trucks, planes, cars, soldiers, Transformers) are for feats of bravery.”

It’s no surprise that after being taught to be brave and “manly” from an early age, men might find it difficult or even scary to show their softer side or be vulnerable.

Lots of reasons, with modern safety requirements being the most important. Modern cars have sophisticated crumple zones and other design features to limit injuries during crashes. They have sensors and electronics everywhere, in almost all parts of the vehicle. They're more aerodynamic and lighter to help meet stricter fuel efficiency standards. Sure it might be possible to retrofit a classic vehicle body with those features, but probably far more costly than today's cars.

A survey of over 2000 males found that half of them feel pressured to act “manly”. An even larger number—eight-in-ten—of them believe that there is a societal pressure for men to behave a certain way.

According to the poll, men feel most pressured about knowing how to be handy around the house or having a certain type of body. Close to a third of them admit they would like to be able to embrace their feminine side more, and a similar percentage say that they feel misunderstood when it comes to their romantic relationships, sense of humor, or knowledge regarding finances.

Not saying there's anything wrong with travel or business. But if that leaves little room for love, or when she can't relax and enjoy the present without thinking about the next trip, it's just not really great energy.

They are usually doing those things. If you wanna find a girl that likes staying in playing computer games, you're not likely to find her hanging out in a bar, she's gonna be at home, playing computer games. Granted, this information is probably not gonna help you meet her, but maybe you'll stop looking in the wrong places.

30 Men Come Vent To This Thread About Things That Bother Them But They Don’t Talk About I don't think women like a******s per se BUT I do think a lot of women like to feel needed. And who are the some of neediest people? Well they tend to be a******s.

I saw it growing up with my mother who was always "trying to fix" my father instead of leaving him for being an a*s. I never liked how my father treated my mother so I always sought to be self-sufficient and helpful. I'd hear the same type of admissions from older divorced women when I used to work in a public-facing job in my early 20s. I'm 33 now and I've experienced that same type of dynamic so many times. I've been passed up over and over again only to have them reach out several years down that they made a huge mistake, that they had always loved me, that they're sorry, etc etc.

I'm not interested in being someone's silver medal. Life isn't a book or TV drama. We have to will ourselves to make the changes we want in our own lives. I'm proud of the progress I've made the last several years and I'd like to meet a woman that actually values my self-sufficiency rather than being her "Plan B".

Of course not all men are bad. Everyone knows this. The thing to remember here is: firstly, some men do harm women and these men don’t have a shiny light on their forehead to identify them as such. Meaning in some situations it’s hard for women to trust a man they don’t know (or do know, even). Obviously this happens the other way round too but not in nearly the same numbers. Secondly, the systems in place still favor men as the ‘superior’ gender (explicitly but also internalized in our culture). Men have been in power, making the decisions for ages. This has only been changing for the last 50 or so years. So how about we share the load: shared responsibility for both successes AND failures? Then it’ll be just humans to blame for everything ;)

If I told someone I'm leaving my spouse because he can't keep a job or because he can't provide for our family people would feel bad for me, but If my husband told me I'm leaving you because you can't cook or clean, he would be eaten alive.

I think you are wrong on both counts here. Spend some time on reddit and see how many women get absolutely blasted for expressing that they want their partner to "provide". They are called gold diggers and told to get a job. And men do leave their wives for not 'fulfilling their roles'. More often than not this happens when the kids leave home because men wait until they no longer bear the risk of having to parent their children, or women hit menopause and sex drive drops and men leave their wives for not fulfilling his sexual needs or they accuse their wives of "letting themselves go". Middle aged women are the fastest growing poverty group for this reason, and I see it over and over and over again in my family law practice.

30 Men Come Vent To This Thread About Things That Bother Them But They Don’t Talk About The amount of name brand streaming services is ruining streaming. Where we use to just have two or whatever, now everybody has one. So, instead of all the money being funneled, it's spread across. And, since they're a bit expensive, people run one or two at a time, then cancel and pick another one or two to run for a month or two.

This is negatively effecting the shows. There's less money available, so these companies are canceling really wonderful series' because they don't see great initial numbers.
