Because women suffer uniquely compared to men, should men strive to make women as comfortable as possible no matter the cost?

They should

They shouldn't

I view sympathy the same way I view alcohol, it ruins your life if you become dependent on it.

I know people who had hard lives that never asked for pity and they became extraordinarily successful, even if they were not smart enough for a basic community college.

I also know brilliant people who asked for sympathy from others and they are surviving but not thriving or prosperous. Living on a janitors salary or half janitors salary while deeply stressed out and alone.

I think guys should remember to be gentlemen. Having said that I opened the door for a woman a couple months back. And she went on some SJW rant and gave me an earful telling me she could handle it her self. So mid rant I just chuckled, shut the door on her, and walked away.

The moral of the story is this. I didn't really open the door for her. I opened it for me and the way I was raised to open doors for women. It wasn't a big deal. Which is why I walked away. If I see a woman tomorrow I'll ope. The door for her. But you know what I'd do it for a man to. It's called COURTESY! And it's costs nothing nor is it gender specific. The world can use more of that.

Oh, God, yes... you just summed up my entire existence with this post. People think I'm crazy for wanting to do this, but I've yet to find anything else in the world that makes me happier and more fulfilled, more content and, yes -- more turned on.

That isn't true. The majority of victims of every violent crime are male, except maybe rape, but last I checked both men and women were getting raped at similar rates.

I'm not doing anything different to make women feel more comfortable. There are things they can do to feel safer. Take self defense classes, carry a weapon, don't go out alone at night, etc etc.

Yes I do.. but only to a point. I help out when I can because I enjoy helping. BUT, if I feel that my help is being abused or disrespected? I won't put up with that!

[Billlewis]

Yes, Sir, I agree wholeheartedly with your concerns. However, in your case, any 'help' or 'assistance', etc, would be in most scenarios unlikely to be of a financial nature, because your personality type, in my opinion, is more appropriate in the role of the woman's boyfriend, husband, male lover or even just a friend of hers. Guys like you don't pay for anything -- because you're more likely to accompany her to dinner, and not even having to reach into your pocket;)

[TommyMountainFigure]

@Billlewis Bill. I bought my woman a Brand New BMW X5 car for her to drive about in so she would feel safe. Do you REALLY think I wouldn't pay for her dinner too?

[Billlewis]

Yes, Sir I understand, but this just a role playing fantasy. I'm guessing that you probably pull in several times my annual salary in a single year, but what makes this fun is that I'm secure enough ego wise to say, 'No, Sir, if this were an actual event, I' wouldn't let you pay, because you're a badass. Does that make sense?

[TommyMountainFigure]

@Billlewis Not really no. I'm more confused than ever.

[Billlewis]

Yes, I've been messaging you, if you want to discuss this further.

[TommyMountainFigure]

@Billlewis ok let me go check.

Everyone suffers uniquely from everyone else, so we should strive to be kind and understanding to each other, period.

[OtterMan68]

they shouldn't go too far out of their way to do so

[gorydetails]

Your job is to make a woman feel save and to lead her.

[strateguy632]

depends on the cost, so b.

Women wanted equality so let them have it.
