The Failures of Modern Men (Page 4)

[Regmorus]

Aggression is never good accept for situations where it is asked for (i. e. almost never), assertiveness yes, aggression no.

Otherwise everything is exactly right (though not my style). You even managed to avoid onesidedness what is very notable nowadays 😃

[DudeDiligence]

It's hard to take any of this seriously coming from a woman who cannot help but post a bunch of pictures of herself in literally every post she makes here on GAG.

I'm pretty sure there must be at least several ICD-10 codes that begin with 'F' that apply to you.

[WowwGirl]

Only miserable man insult women.

[_inkRat]

@WowwGirl Only miserable person insult an other person.

I miss masculine men. You can still share your emotions as a man, but still have masculine traits (lead, protect, provide). I am a feminist but I am very feminine and I can provide for myself ofc. But I miss masculine men and gentlemen and would love one to compliment my femininity.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

This is what men on this site need to understand. That women do want masculine men. Someone who has masculine traits and can also share his feeling with his girl.
To most guys here there are only extremes. Either a man has a housewife kissing your feet. Or a man is a female pleaser and weak.
The half way point exists and is what most women want.

[curiousme33]

@ThisIsMyOpinion I agree, I wish people would understand you can have masculine and feminine traits. But a lot of women still lean towards women who are more masculine.

[es20490446e]

Perhaps you haven't realized that, but women (and men) are all problems these days.

They are overly dramatic, overly rude, overly demanding and overly conformant.

It's the opposite of what it looks, you get those men because good men don't give a fuck about you.

[es20490446e]

Or you are wasting too much time with lost cases.

[ComradeCarabao]

There's definitely an unfair characterization of masculine men, but the reason so many men are more feminine today lies in the chemicals found in many foods and hygiene products. It's important for men to understand what they're putting their bodies. For example, many body wash and lotion products contain phytoestrogenic compounds; you have to do your homework to avoid these. With all that being said, feminine males have always existed; I have nothing against them, but I'm proud to be masculine.

guys raised without a positive male role model to look up to and get guidance from. will most likely fail in most aspects of live.

similar to how girls raised without a positive female role model to look up to and get guidance from. will most likely fail in most aspects of live.

[pizzalovershouse]

Could be all the hormones and apestisides in food why testrone is low just like how girls now from hormones in food ard going through peburty at younger ages

[WowwGirl]

Lack of male figures I believe has a lot to do with it

[Dchrls78104]

Good take and very sensible. I'd like to add that a real, masculine man stands up for what he believes in and does not toss his values and principles out the window.

[WowwGirl]

Stands up for his beliefs and loved ones. I agree I almost put that actually

[Midnight_Kiss]

Modern men are not failures they're finally comfortable in there own skin. Everyone male or female are unique and shouldn't feel the need to live in the shadow of anyone or anything.

[Godofbliss]

Wtf is wrong with you people... it's a goddamn spectrum... get yourself the type of person you like and stfu... don't dictate how everyone else should behave or live...

To the OP... if you believe this... better also be ready to bend to the rule of an abusive man... cause that's what you seem to find sexy... I bet you have daddy issues... probably an alcoholic emotionally distant abusive dad.

[realperson02]

Well except the paying for dates part , rest of the mytake sounds good and gives a message to boys to focus on themselves and become a man so that their physique doesn't take a beating.
Paying for dates sounds way too 1900s and the bad boys rarely have to pay for dates anyways.

[DiegoO]

The problem with all you said is... Who defines what it means to be a man? In no time in history, there was a static definition of being "a man". It always changes for the better or the worst. Culture determines it and there are tons of cultures worldwide.

[Lman3000]

Hmm people sure do love pointing the finger at one another in this place, Both sides are to blame It ain't just one side, women today also have failures about them too but they ain't got the guts to admit cause the person who writes this stuff can't accept they are wrong on somethings their opinion is 100 and they are always right, it's typical and I've seen this circle jerk of logic happen thousands of times.

[iOoko]

it's not men's fault their testosterone has been declining, it's the fault of endocrine disruptors in our air, food and water. every time i tried to raise awareness about the issue i get called whiny and told to man up by people like you. you're part of the problem. also if it's unmanly to do this or that then it's unwomanly to have an opinion and not obey men. gender roles go both ways you know? you want equality? then stop expecting men to take care of you

[iOoko]

also imagine if this was the other way around: "women don't act like women any more! they don't stay at home to cook and bear children! they wear pants and have jobs! the failure of the modern woman!". wouldn't it be sexist?

[ElvenMr]

I wanted to say this too. In school i learned that womens birth control pills, after they piss it out.. go into the water system and we can't filter these things out of the water completely, so it goes into the tap water, mineral water too i guess, and people are drinking hormones (estrogen) which for men are not exactly good...
Like Amsterdam's tap water is "full" of drugs, because drug use there is legal... I mean just the residue, it's not a bonus to the tap water by the government or something lol

And it's just one thing. Whenever a man acts like a man, women cry for "toxic masculinity" and other stuff like that. Like this post saying at the end that:
"Now you boys can whine, moan, and complain away. I'm going to watch the real men here laugh and not care about this MyTake because they are confident in their manhood."
Just wtf...

And generally women think the only thing that makes a man masculine is, if they have big muscles. (this mytake tried to suggest the opposite, but the pictures included say otherwise)

[Daniel3035]

I'd like to see one about women probably go something like...
1) Women have no problems...
2) Some people say (this) but that's not true because...
Usually anything along the lines of = Issues/Problem + Women's justification for it = Life of a women and everything wrong with it.
Even this will be subject to some kind of justification bla bla bla.

[Mijopapiii]

a lot of millenials talk with a emo feminine voice and just are not manly one been they have feminized by agendas pushed by society.

[WowwGirl]

Gross those little guys

[Lemia]

Fantasy vs Reality Girls see Actors like Daniel Craig etc and want that but get turned off when the see a struny guy and dont remember how much work actor have to put in a role.

[TeddyGotT]

Let your bias show why don't you? Can't ignore the actual facts that were peppered in there but this whole thing deliberately comes across as "if a man doesn't live in the gym then he is a terrible person". Fuck who you want to, I don't care, but men being failures because not everyone of us doesn't conform to YOUR standards is stupid and massively arrogant.

[MountAverage]

You don't get to define what is and what isn't a man. You get to define what you're looking for in a man and that's it. Everything else is just you projecting your personal fantasies onto others and turning into some ideological manifesto.

Again - you don't get to define what is and what isn't a man. Stick to your fantasies.

[Ratmuffin]

I used to work out a lot. My workout group were heavy lifters and i dropped over a hundred pounds in one year. Got down to 195lbs at 6'3" and felt great. The testosterone helped me push through the pain too much though. At my peak i was shrugging 300lbs with my traptoral muscles alone and snapped two tendons in both rotator cuffs and now i can't lift shit
