    I don’t get the “not showing emotion” point. Like why would you want to be a crybaby pussy like all those Reddit guys?

    Just show emotion when it’s appropriate to.

      I think it’s fine for guys to be crybabies as long as they’re also (physically) strong, but also perhaps emotions can be held in public and then expressed in private (for men who feel a desire to put out a “strong” emotional appearance publicly)

      E.x.a.c.t.l.y. BECAUSE that’s how they’re trying to dress it up.

      They’re trying to make it sound like it’s just regular emotions but what they’re really talking about is being an emotional f****** wreck and roller coaster in front of women and in public and they expect people to cuddle them and think that that’s f****** normal I mean Jesus Christ.

      You see how they twist s*** I don’t get it either man I wish my voice text would stop censoring my cuss words I need to change that in settings

        It’s funny how showing emotion to them is always crying. Like that’s their default for any emotion?

        I can’t remember my dad or grandpa shaming me for crying as a kid. It was usually “ yeah you did something stupid and got hurt. Suck it up and move on” is that really “shaming”?

          Very much this, why is crying the gold standard for showing emotions?

          I don’t think so. That’s how I was raised to. I feel like they over exaggerated to a point to where you will empathize with them so they can feel better about being overly emotional
