What do you wish men wouldn't hide?

Question

I´d say their need of for companionship.
Because of the fact that guys tend to be not good at connecting we spend most of our time in front of screen while chatting with people we don´t know. I feel like doing so many guys have lost a passion and interest or an hobby because of their screen time.
So some get over weight and self-pitying like a porn star never rejects them and other stuff.
If guys were better at connecting without seeing the other person automatically as a rival it wouldn´t sound weird when you try to find friends in a gym as a guy. Some guys would be probably less to be porn addicts in front of their screen but instead more focused on their life and their health.
The reason why many guys don´t get to have sex anymore isn´t really that girls have become emotional monsters nowaday ignoring most guys only going for the "hot" celebrities but instead guys that are less willing to work on themselves. They work to be the best in Fortnite, Valorant or what ever else is trendy right now, stats that in irl no one cares about.
I can see it looking on my life I spend a proxamittely 1/3 of my free time on Youtube watching either meme channels, sports or some Youtuber I fency and I´d that many guys my age do the same. Which is way too much by the way.
Instead me and other guys could do other things, we could discover the world, invent something useful or change politics/culture. But we don´t, pretty much for the same reason we don´t ask girls out anymore: Because the risk of wasting time seems to be higher than getting the appreciated result. (I have a list of 10/12 I wanted to do/change 10 years ago when I was 16 and dreaming about the time I leave school and how everything is going to change. The truth is not much changed besides the fact that I´m not in school so I´m surrounded by people all day long.)
I´d argue if the same guys that meet each other online playing games like War-Zone. Valorant, Fortnite you name it, would meet at a beach/ at the gym or somewhere meeting without a smartphone doing sports together/discussing stuff or try to do something with their hands would be way happier afterwards (even if they failed miserably) than sitting in their room shouting at their screen while everyone hearing them think they´re crazy.
If more guys got more passionate about some really hobbies where more people of their area could get interested in and talk about it as well, if more guys would get better in making and keeping friendships I´d argue that world be a better place.

I didn´t answer emotions because I´m one of those guys who spends pretty much effort not to show his emotions/weaknesses very often. I do that for a reason and that is I can only be stoic or let it all out which led to many people especially females (but also males) calling me a dramaqueen so I figured it´s something no one wants to hear about. It´s more rather a topic where girls they say wanna hear it but they actually don´t.
You can hate me for that last remark but it´s my experience.

Weaknesses. This macho bullshit will be the end of the Real Man who is fully rounded and comfortable and confident enough in himself to admit he hasn't got every answer

Lliam · Answer

It's not something I wish for, because I don't plan to be in a relationship with a man.

But the most obvious thing is emotions. Men are trained to conceal them. That's fine except when in a relationship. Not that a woman wants a man who wears his emotions on his sleeve, or cries over pain and adversity. They want a man who is strong and makes them feel safe and secure. But they also wish that men would be a bit more open and vulnerable with them. They want to see his tender side.

Emotions are going to probably be the typical answer here so I want to go off the beaten path a bit.

I would love for them not to hide their non-typical interests. If you like doing something typically thought of as femme, well come out and just do it. It only becomes normalized the more people see something.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Emotions without a doubt. It is not seen as something men shouldn't reveal and instead have locked up, understandable, but unhealthy. Men and women do not like men who are over emotional and tend to shunned or have no respect for them because they are seen as weak.

It really sucks for men that are hypersensitive.

Their beliefs in the age of people pleasing. Men don’t stand firm in who they are often and it just costs them in the long run, which makes them seem short tempered when their true beliefs finally come bursting out. People in general need to stop following the herd and just know who they themselves truly are. I’d rather be hated for who I am than loved for who people just think I am..

magiusX26 · Answer

the truth of who they really are character/personality wise. that way others could see just who not to try dating and who really needs to work on themselves. saddly this type of hiding is a part of why so many women go for "bad boys". of course those that truly only want a bad boy will have some they thought were not that in the new pool of potentials and others they thought fit that criteria left on the wayside.

If you want to make a girl your friend, tell her your feelings.

If you want a girlfriend, don't.

Men don't make social rules, we follow them. In many cultures single men live outside the village and only live there as children or if they survived that long (most men didn't) old men.

One of my ancestors fought in the war of 1812, he wrote in his will, that his best friend should marry his wife and take care of his children.
He was killed and his friend did so, as an obligation.

Societies were made by men so that women could raise children in safety. They weren't for men to live in, that happens much later in human development.
Societies, at the lowest level are all matriarchal.
