I used to buy my ex fiancé flowers every other week. I did it to show I cared and because it helped uplift our living space. Every time without fail if I’d pass some random old guy they’d laugh at me, ask what I’d done wrong, say ‘oooh someone’s in trouble’, or just imply that I’ve somehow been emasculated. Like for f**k sake it could be for someone’s grave for all you know.

Im 6’4, tatted, generally pretty high testosterone type guy, but I don’t ever need to justify any of my actions to the imaginary high-council of manly men. You can bench press a defeated mountain lion in the morning and unwind with a pina colada in the bubble Bath while wearing a charcoal face mask in the evening, the two are not related at all.

So genuine question. Do men want to get flowers? I don't personally much like flowers and plenty are insanely toxic to my fur babies but I wonder if there are men who would like to get them and don't because of the same gender stereotypes that cause people to give me "girlie" things

That every one of my previous partners has been sexually assaulted by other men. Knowing how some guy out there has treated a kind, loving woman in that way makes me furious that they feel entitled to do that because they are a man. What was probably a momentary pleasure for him is a pain those women carry with them years on and all I can do is try and restore their faith in my gender through my own actions.

I used to live with 3 other people, 2 men and one woman, the guys couldn't help keeping the house clean even if their lives depended on it. One of them would help if pressured (but I'd had to clean everything again because he had such low cleaning standards) but the other one wouldn't pick up a broom.

I read an article addressing the myth that men "just don't see" the mess. They see it - they just don't *care*, and this is because in society men are held to a lower standard of expectation. The article cited a study where participants were shown an untidy room; if they were told it belonged to a male student, they thought it was mostly fine. If it belonged to a female student it was judged more harshly. This was more pronounced when the participants were male too (female participants judged the male messy room negatively, but were only a bit more harsh with the female messy room)

I’ve never understood why some guys do that. How the f**k do you think that’s an opening move for trying to get a woman into you? “Hi how are you? D**k pic!”

It’s very different if you’re a couple and/or she asks or you already know she likes that sort of thing. But sending unsolicited d**k pics to women you don’t know is technically a crime and just a douchebag move.

Ask yourself the question, (1) Did she ask for a d**k pick? If the answer is no, then DON"T SEND IT. You might say, but denzo, I'm well endowed and she needs to know! Then revert to question (1), No? then DON'T SEND IT. You might also say, but denzo, she looks like she'll like it. Then revert to question (1), No? then DON'T SEND IT. If the answer to question (1) was yes, then by all means, make it a production. This has been my guide to d**k pics.

Many cases of fragile masculinity and poor upbringing. It's really sad to know this is the state of some men. We must also make the change, let them know what they're doing is wrong. Or support each other when we're in need of support. That's the only way we can do better for us and for women.

Men need to learn how to take rejection. And that’s gay, straight, bi, trans, whatever. Not everyone is going to be into you. You need to accept that and not take it personally. “No” means “no”. “I’m busy” means “no”. And silence means “no.” Move on and stop being creepers or aggressive cavemen.

Having a fun getting drunk and dancing with their friends relaxing doesn't or rarely exist for them. Plus when they are with someone like me who when single I used to go out to de-stress laugh dance and enjoy they look at you weird for not spending your night trying to get laid!

Or guys who don't know how to go out and enjoy/have fun . Instead their primary mission is always to try to get a woman. They spend all theri weekends/night out trying to get laid when they're single that's all they know. They also tend to look at you as weird if you go out just to get drunk/dance/enjoy instead of doing like them. They are so much stressful and they make up a majority of single man that I ended up hanging out with mostly woman friends when I was single just so we can enjoy as friends.
