I voted for genuine.

I would have voted courage in the past. You know how you're separated from the weak that way most blatantly. You see the other boys complain and whine about something and you do it and that's such an obvious way that you're stronger.

But they're not even different things in my opinion. Genuine and courage. It's the same thing when we extend the former all the way. You tell a girl, looking her straight in the eyes, with nice-looking tits that her tits look nice with no fear of being slapped and that's as brave as jumping into flames headfirst with no fear of dying. That's not just courageous. That's genuine. It's a superset of courageous as I see it.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

You see a woman with nice T. You tell her she got a nice T. If she got a nice A, you tell her she got a nice A. If we want to be fussy about it, you tell her it's nice T or A in your opinion and that other guys might not share that opinion, but in your opinion, her T is so good. Also her A. It's like a double-whammy. T&A. Not to mention her clavicles and other parts. It's like let me sit you down and tell you how you're awesome.

And that's genuine, and genuine takes more courage that most guys think is courage. Because lots of guys might fight in front of a grizzly bear to protect their women and children but a lot of them will never tell the woman he saved that she has nice T&A, and that requires genuineness on top of courage.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

You ever slapped an animal's butt and think, "WTF? This is so smooth and nice. It's like some extraterrestrial shit. I think I am wanting to make some babies with this." That's what you should tell a woman every time you have that feeling. But most men won't because they aren't genuine.

[sawno]

Being genuine is the big one here for me, but not entirely right.
Being your true authentic self with authority is what i'd say is true strength. When you are not only striving to be the best version of yourself, but leaving a presence so pure that people will follow your lead for it. Naturally others will hate you and try to kick you down, but that true oneness with who you really are should be solid enough to where you don't get intimidated to change into someone you are not.

[sawno]

As for the girls who should say a man crying is strength, I agree with you but only partially. We all know that men crying can be a turn-off and seen as weak. It's very situational, a real man to me is capable of showing emotions / crying because he is strong enough to where it does not matter you are entirely right. But simultaneously it's a man who does so only when it is appropriate and can withstand challenges otherwise. Like being emotionally open and available to your girl as she helps heal your wounds is a sign of a strong couple. Being emotionally open and crying / breaking down during the actual battle however, is not strength. Its all about having the strength to control yourself in the moment, and then also having the strength to let it out once you have the space to.

[sawno]

I can tell I am tired, I wrote a few sentences completely wrong there.
"As for the girls who should say a man crying is strength" should be "As for the girls who are saying its a sign of strength when a man cries".

"because he is strong enough to where it does not matter you are entirely right" should be " because he is strong enough to where it does not matter. You are entirely right on that".

So I was thinking courage...

Having the courage to talk.
Having the courage to remain silent.
Having the courage to listen.
Having the courage to cry.
Having the courage to get mad.
Having the courage to feel.
Having the courage to understand.
Having the courage to back off.
Having the courage to fight back.
Having the courage to care.
Having the courage to show.
Having the courage to do.
But really, whatever is going on, be honest about it.
So... honesty.

[purplepoppy]

If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs, you're probably too dumb to grasp the seriousness of the situation.

I think it's about having enough resilience to get through the day-to-day knocks while still recognising others may be carrying hidden burdens that make the same impossible. Emotional strength is being able to understand a problem, cope with it, and not be a dickhead.

[Asker]

i like that. i felt like calling some woman a bitch recently until i saw she was old, wrinkly, looked like she could barely walk...

[wiltingrosepetal]

How would wealth correlate to emotional strength lmao those poll results are insane-

I believe emotional strength is admitting when you're wrong / made a mistake. People who are willing to acknowledge their faults, even when it sacrifices their ego

[JacobJordan]

Emotional strength true emotional strength is about acknowledging your limitations and not being afraid to let it show. Shit women say men who cry are weak. Reality is men who cry have been strong for too long. A real man can cry without being less of a man. Because a real man has his emotions and feels them but will only act on them when it is safe to do so. You get mad that is fine you do not however take that anger out on someone else. You let that out by yourself.

[DJB72]

Be Real. The genuine you.

The strongest men I know cry. Not having the strength to release the pain is extreme weakness. It's brittle.

Have the guts to share your life. Cry. Love like you've never been hurt. Lift those around you. Be the strongest man at your father's funeral.

Strength comes from knowing who you are in the core of your heart.

[Justneedtokno]

Being genuine, and just having the courage to just stay and stick around, helps a lot your presence and a lot of situations helps even if you don’t know what to say or do most of the time some women just want you to be around and we can tell you what to do and somethat unwritten rule of just listening and taking those social cues to OK I’m hungry or she likes chocolate or she’s just needing water helps a lot

[Pinay_ako]

When a man is able to show his vulnerability to you, that shows he trusts you. Let him be himself around you. Don’t try to change him. A man will change when and if he wants to.

[Apple1996]

A man crying in front of me shows emotional strength 💪

[Asker]

so in other words, knowing when its acceptable to cry shows strength

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Yeah so that you can take advantage of it. I've known you too well

[Apple1996]

Crying anytime is fine

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara how exactly would someone take advantage of another person crying?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Lol you're playing ignorance. You know that letting a man open up to make themselves feel useless and shame them for feeling how they naturally feel and use what they opened up to manipulate them by shaming them is a way of taking advantage of it. From your posts shaming men's natural behavior and decide how they should feel instead, it proves it. (Also most of the time, women like you aren't aware of it and will never admit it)

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara I've never shamed a man's naturally behaviors especially showing emotions

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Lol way to prove me right. Your posts in here don't really lie and as i've said, people like you would never admit it nor aware of it

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara nothing I've posted here has ever been to shame men. Maybe some to hold men accountable for their bad behavior but that's about it

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Oh sure generalizing men is not shaming men lol. And of course you haven't even thought that saying "to hold them accountable" can be an excuse to deny that they're doing it for empowerment. Of course you're still making up your own conclusion as to why many men hates you here. The classic "Because they're just whiners" from you.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara never have i said anything about someone whining. I don't even use that word. And I've never received any hate on here besides maybe from some people that have me blocked so I'm not sure what you are even talking about

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara there's a few users here. Usually have came back on multiple accounts because of how bad they are. They do need to be held accountable and many people agree

[Aiko_E_Lara]

*To deny that you're doing it for empowerment. AKA taking advantage of them. And here I thought you're saying they're allowed to show feelings. That proves what you said can't really be taken seriously. This is exactly why I don't react, I respond to your posts. I'd rather give you logic instead of feelings which you can't keep really up. I get that you may just suck at giving solutions which is what men actually wants so you just let them cry and be helpless to make yourself feel important? Pfff nice try but I've seen worse

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara no man here has ever complained about the advice I've given them

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara proof of what? Lol

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Of course no men would complain. I mean you're painting yourself as a miss good girl and they'd feel bad for complaining because they aren't aware of your motives.

[Aiko_E_Lara]

You definitely can't read or you just choose not to because you know it's the truth.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara what motives? I don't even know any of y'all irl

[Aiko_E_Lara]

"no man here has ever complained about the advice I've given them" <--- for the same reason why anyone with abusive partners stay with their partners.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara it'd be easy enough for someone block me if they didn't want the advice from me

[Aiko_E_Lara]

"I don't even know any of y'all irl" And you act like you've known most men LMAO

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Tell me again that you don't take advantage of men. Also I thought you said "I don't even know any of y'all irl" So what's with all these conclusions when you don't know them IRL? You're easy to debunk lol

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara those are just opinions. It's not hating on men in anyway

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara I only surround myself with men. If I say something it's probably from their influence. I'm literally never around women

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara you can't debunk opinions... and I'm literally raising 5 men. Anything I say on here is gonna probably turn out in my son's so it's probably better experience than many people have here

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara I can say it however I please. And if a asker is asking a non opinion question then they shouldn't be on this site

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara I'm not gonna deal with the harassment and yapping

[Aiko_E_Lara]

"ree harassment" Way to prove me right. You don't like being enlightened. No wonder why you didn't attend college. Logic and basic education is harassment to you

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara this is harassment and spamming in all honesty. There is no reason for it

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Okay where is the harassment park. I was just giving an opinion 🤷🤷 you know like you do? Why is it different now?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I mean everyone can reply so I'm saying it as I please 🤷 I feel so entitled right now you know like you do?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Harassment *part

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara you need to chill. Like literally no one cares

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I don't care if no one cares. If I got you mad right now then you're sounding like those men you're trying to mock lol

[Aiko_E_Lara]

So if I'm harassing you and it's okay for you to say that in an argument, how about if I say you have been harassing men in general. Making generalizations about them. But if you say that's just your opinion then I'm not harassing you.

[Apple1996]

@Aiko_E_Lara sure but I don't go after one specific man and keep harassing them. It's not the same

[Aiko_E_Lara]

If that's the case I didn't go far harassing the whole gender just because of one woman like you. If you think you're the only woman I replied to, you must think you're that special do you?

[Aiko_E_Lara]

You're not the only moron in here who need serious enlightenment

[IslaTheWitch]

being genuine, it means he knows his emotions and accepts them

[TommyMountainFigure]

Being there for her when she needs him, and more importantly never giving her reason to doubt it!

[dustybiker2]

Being genuine. And that includes crying when needed.

[itsclearlynicholas]

If a guy rarely smiles or rarely daydreams , or rarely goes anywhere on his own than his pack of friends: who is he. Lol. I'm emotional strength Hahahahah 🤣💪🏻

[exitseven]

courage. The ability to unflinchingly face adversity.,

[Nikki1989]

Being level-headed and not insecure or petty.

[Jay-_-]

When the odds are against a man but he's so confident in knowing right and wrong that he stands his ground against the world who is morally lost.

[fuddly]

None of those

More like in touch with his feelings
Able to recognise his own strengths and weaknesses
Able to ask for help when needed
Can be depended on by his friends and family

[Anonymous]

It's not being unattached, but it's in that ballpark. It's when he strong enough to have the courage of his convictions. When he's unafraid to go it alone when he knows the majority is wrong.

[worldscolide]

It's a combination of courage, self esteem, being happy, And being genuine.

[Sameone]

Being happy & nice to other people and help them if u can't

[Just_call_me_Levi]

For me it's be genuine (be yourself) and have high self-esteem. The others you can force and often serve as little more than compensation.

[JayBones2469]

That 1,000 yard stare of a sociopath that spent years 19 through 24 killing the enemies of Isreal in the desert.

[Anonymous]

None of these. A man that can cry in front of you shows emotional strength to me.
