Something I don't understand - men never accept help

[Angler2312]

This guy asks for help and leans on everyone when he has a bad day or someone hurts his feelings, constantly.
How's his mental health?

That's why we don't. We want to be left alone to deal with things until we can get a handle on it, then we'll re-join the group. No one wants to whine and have a circle jerk party every time life hands you a lemons. You deal with it and move on.

Is that you ?

There sure wasn't anyone volunteering to help dig sweet potatoes today.

Uhmmmm, I may not be a man in the physical sense of the word but as God is my witness I am my father's first-born son. Lol I don't think you tough o'goats are that bad as far as male humans go. I kinda think y'all are a pretty sexy bunch of old farts ... 🤷😉😁

Meh, men are supposed to be stoic and tough.

This is a neat "Hey Steve" segment on YouTube and is about why to discipline boys stricter than what the women wants to see happen.

It's not correct or right, but I believe that's how we were taught growing up. I see it all the time here on the forum. If any dude voices any kind of "non masculine feeling" then they tend to be labeled as a "p8ssy", or even worse, a liberal. A lot (but not all) of the older dudes around here seem to think that having an actual emotion automatically means you have tits and a period. We need to move past this line of thinking considering how much more likely men are to commit suicide vs women.

I agree...being a liberal...is worse than being a "p8ssy"
