Why are women turned off by mental health problems and what can men with mental health problems do to attract women?

Women do not want to be your therapist or hear about your struggles. They want the guys they like to be strong and smile and tell them everything will be ok when shit hits the fan.

Men with mental health struggles need support and some women can do that, but they won't tolerate it forever. At some point it will become a "You keep talking about this, when are you going to do something about it?" They don't have infinite patience. Your job is to find your outlet to take care of your issues, be that therapy, medication if it is a particular one, support groups, but never, and I mean NEVER tell your woman your mental health problems.

She will lose attraction, respect and be turned off. She wants a rock that can persevere, not a mentally weak man that can't lead or make a decision when shit gets hard. They don't feel safe with those men.

I know it's unfair man, but it is the case. Society has deemed only women can speak about their struggles in the relationship, not the man. Find something that helps you deal with it, but don't use your girl. That is like looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.

Fix their mental health problems. I'm completely fucked up and don't date, even though I want to, because it'd be unfair to expect anyone to put up with my personal problems. Men shouldn't be hypocrites as well and assume that they don't want women with issues as well.

What might blur the line and contest my point is how prevalent mental issues have become, to the point that some disorders are basically a starter pack to real life nowadays. If I wait to fix myself to then date, I'll find a dating world even harsher than today's and will be just as unsuccessful.

Manage your mental health. Be active and proactive in making sure you're whole and healthy.

That means therapy (that you schedule, manage, and pay for like a big boy), medication (if necessary), self-care, and whatever else you need to do to manage your mental health.

Most people today have mental health issues. Managing it and thriving despite it is possible. But only if you're putting in the consistent work to overcome it.

You shouldn't date at all unless you're in therapy

I do not know. Have you searched for a poll on this subject. Think there’s some research online available?

Your weak that's why. Women like strengths and power.

It's not fair but that's what triggers their brain

They perceive it as weakness however I must say if 90% of people went through what I’d been though they’d be in jail or dead so that makes me strong
