What is the hardest part about being a man? (Page 2)

Question

I feel like men have it rough but y'all never talk about it. I'm wanting to understand more about mens struggles in life

Sixgunsound · Answer

The fact that women generally make fun of us for talking about our problems, which I'm thankful is not the case with you here. Not being able to acknowledge the many and varied problems that individual men have significantly decreases the likelihood they will ever be addressed or solved. Everyone has problems, but it is Ok for one half of the human race to talk about them but not the other. Listing specific problems is irrelevant if having them IS the problem.

Stuff like this where we are told to open up, be emotional, share our feelings, and when we do all freak out and leave us. Now you Amy not, but in every single situation I have been in that has been the truth. save for my current relationship with my wife.

MementoMori777 · Answer

limit the emotions you can share, show only the good and not the bad ones, once you crack your being a man trial is over lol

DarkWinterNights · Answer

Being a man is spending a lot of time working through things in your own head and coming to grips with the fact that ultimately, no one really cares what happens to you unless your provide something that’s needed. Also, realizing that the only woman who will truly love you unconditionally- if you’re lucky to have a good one, is your mother. And, finally- accepting and appreciating that’s the way life is.

RingOfFire · Answer

I would say that the hardest thing is that no matter how much bla bla bla you hear about women being liberated, you know that in the end it is the men who have to make the hard decisions, bring home the bacon, defend the country and run the family. That's a lot of responsibility.

convo_king89 · Answer

oh one thing that comes to mind is the double standards, and how women always seem to get a free pass or the benefit of the doubt. As a guy we are the first suspect. A guy can be called out for checking out a girl. And lastly let’s not forget boners. I don’t get random ones, but as a teen I got em so easy. Haveing your dick on display and assumed it’s cuz ur horny. As a guy we always seems to have to prove our selves.

HaveNoName · Answer

Not being able to overcome the instinct of crushing or having that awful "floor pulled from under the feet" feeling at the sight of every female human you find attractive.

I wish I could get over it. I wish i could start taking some medicine that takes away this desire. I don't want it. I don't need it.

Kinkyhubby · Answer

Because we don't always talk about our emotions unless, we know the girl we are with is loving and respecting us. Men are raised, to be the rock to lean on, and the glue to keep everyone we care about together. We will do anything to protect our family. We also don't always say thing, because women have a tendency to use what we tell them, and throw it back in our face, or tell it to their girlfriends. So our pain and secrets we keep to ourself.

Charliefretz329 · Answer

Men are given the responsibility of being head of their family and help accountable for their children’s and wife’s actions. They are given few tools for this job and lots of scrutiny.

They also are perpetually horny and often hated and scorned for this.

Fuentes · Answer

I can't tell you because I find it to be bitchassness to speak on it and Nancy behaviour because I am a MAN first.

To be a man u must carry the world on your shoulders and leave emotions to the side & logically be able to think and handle things & keep all stressful situations on the inside & have the will power to destroy another human or thing if they come across you or your family in a dangerous situation. The struggles are something I refuse to speak about lol

Bismarck_96 · Answer

Emotions and being the provider especially if you're married or have people depending on you to bring the bread home

emotions well that's another thing you can't Express yourself emotionally cause you'll be seen as a weakling especially in funerals you can't have your breakdowns and this is why we are at a high risk on getting heart attacks in our 50s

Stress well there's a temporary cure for that alcohol I now know why other men drink after work

Juxtapose · Answer

Less attention and compliments overall and there's a fuckton of gold diggers. I have gotten compliments on my hair lately so it's not as bad for me as it is for some guys thankfully.

Guardian45 · Answer

The hardest part about being man is not being understood or able to make others understand, or sometimes understanding.  Women are "a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma!

Waking up with morning wood and like this massive thick load of glue is there Bc ur tired, mornings suck, u gotta clean up, and then get changed lol

lightbulb27 · Answer

I think it's more about becoming an adult, rising above pains and abuses to still treat others good or better than you did... not letting wounds propagate to others.

Dealing with women and their crazy standards and expectations and demands.

bananathunder · Answer

Having to take care of everything, knowing that people rely on you constantly and not being able to show any stress or signs of weakness

Nik1hil · Answer

Understanding "that men are loved under condition that they provide something." Realizing, "I have no value until I become capable of providing something.".

Chthou95 · Answer

The hardest part about being a man is that you have no value born as a man and have to go out there and create your value. Otherwise you'll be invisible and no one will give two shits about you

exitseven · Answer

To do it right you have to be tough. You have to be a rock that has ice water for blood. I suppose it goes with the territory but it is not always easy.

SolitarySolace · Answer

Not being taken seriously and being forced not to care about anything so that women can be the “caring” gender:

Being demonized for everything that makes a biological man a man.

The dating world in its entirety… to name a few

Jamie05rhs · Answer

I think the hardest part honestly is dealing with gender stereotypes. That's why, even though I don't support the trans movement at all, I do have a lot of empathy for the non-binary people.

Our hardest part? Our erect penis 😛. Sorry couldn’t help myself 😛

Meropatrick · Answer

I think its being the rock for someone. U should be strong and not crumble or cry. I know for a fact if a man did that everyone else who depends on him will feel weak. Also a man is a provider u need to be a bread winner or u have no value.

Cubus · Answer

Probably that men usually die a lor earlier than women.

Unit1 · Answer

Being a man And being ignored by the opposite sex. It is not a surprise many boys turn into transgirls. It's for that very reason.

krin_m · Answer

Not sure! I could be goofy and tell you about the hardest part :-)

Anonymous · Answer

Less aesthetic and pleasant body compared to women So much body and facial hair , unlike women... some of the men have really LOT of body hair , more hair on the body than an average woman's pubic hair Having external genitals, which not only look ugly but are a menace to have between legs , unlike women's. More sex drive and less sex appeal , having to masturbate too often to control the urge. Less social value compared to women.
