OK guys, don't take this personally. I'm sure women also have a lot of sad facts, which I know you will counter with. 😅

Well ladies as a Man in this vast messed up world we live in I can assure you that there is plenty of stuff for us to be sad about. But mainly I want women to know that the main thing that has always made me sad is when women look upon men with these locked in projections that we are all the same and we are all only in relationships for one thing. Because ladies if you find yourself dating men like I just described... well you need to look at your own issues. Because if each man you date, if sooner than later it ends abruptly... and then your out again and meeting a new man and one date leads to two and the once again it ends abruptly damn near the exact same way as the others had... well it can't be because you've just dated the exact same man over and over... but what it does mean is you shouldn't even be attempting to date anyone right now... because if your relationships always seem to end in the same exact ways as always and you blame the men for all being the same... then deep down your just avoiding the inevitable. And that's called realizing that it's not the men... it's you. If 6 different men have dated the same woman and each time she breaks up with one in the same sets of circumstances happen... that's not cause men are the same... it's actually because that woman is insane. So deal with your own insecurities and issues that make you undateable before you blame all of your failed attempts at even remotely being a good stable partner on men... look inward and place that damn emotion right back from where it was born and manifested... right back at yourself. Because real men take years to grow up... just cuz we age doesn't mean we still aren't all 17 on the inside. Call it a curse if ya want or look upon it with new eyes... and realize that us men are loyal to a fault and never get over our first heartbreaks not because we are avoiding dealing with it... but simply because we weren't taught on what we needed to do to get over these things. All we were told to do was walk it off and get over it... so that's why we are all emotionally 17 till we are in our 30s. That doesn't mean that we aren't capable of doing great things either... it just simply means that all we have left to hold onto is the memories of being young... and not because we don't wanna grow up.. but because we were happy then. Back before we became the problem in so many scenarios. Back when men could be men and not have to worry about offending anyone... now we have to worry about shit that men have never even remotely fathomed worrying about before!! Why now? Why is? Because women forgot for a hot minute who they are and who we are what we are here to do. And were not meant to work hand in hand together... we cannot do what women do and they won't do what we have to do. Therefore we do compliment each other very well. Women are everything that men are not and men are everything women are not. So together imagine what two could achieve in life when Instead nowadays all women seem to mention about men is only the things we don't do. And to that I say sorry.

Our lives in general suck.

we're 3X more likely to commit suicide than women and we're twice as likely to have a heart attack or other heart problems because of the stress we go through on a daily basis. The same is true of cancer. 1 in 2 men will get cancer at some point in their life as opposed to 1 in 3 women.

This is overall because there are many kinds of cancer but it's still a fact men are more likely to get cancer too and cancer as well as how aggressive it is surprisingly linked to your mental health. Your body actually fights infections and other illnesses better when you're optimistic or happy but if you're stressed out it actually aggravates the issues. Men also have a higher death rate by cancer as well. My dads had cancer twice. also, yes 1-7 are all true and it's part of why the stress of our lives is literally killing us.

Men have no support from society especially emotionally and socially though. There aren't men's shelters for abused men which are a lot more common than people think in fact female and male domestic abuse rates are going up. We talk a lot about sexual violence, stalking and men's abuse of woman, but did you know that one in three men are abused in this way in some capacity by woman? I've been sexually harassed physically myself and it's the closest I ever came to raising my hand to a woman.

Male victims of rape and abuse are also a lot less likely to seek help because we know for us it doesn't really exist and when it does it's seen as week. Statistically woman basically get a slap on the wrist for rape sometimes they don't even get time but if a man rapes a woman he gets 20 years and often times "Rapists" are sentenced on here say and no evidence because when it comes to rape our mentality switches to "Guilty until proven innocent".

There are female pedo's who did less than five years and the courts called it justice done. Personally I think lying about rape should catch you the sentence that you were setting up the person for. If they were going to get 20 years for something they didn't do the liar should get 20 years instead.

Worse still there's a toxic positivity behind it that's perpetuated by woman and even some other men where the victim is viewed as being "lucky for losing his V card so soon." News flash rape is rape, and rape is traumatic regardless of the body parts you have. I know male rape victims that were raped by woman, in many cases it's a babysitter and it fucked them up for life and they still have issues bonding and connecting with woman.

There are a few things I find sad...

They can get VERY VERY caught up in things (drama generators to end all drama generators) or they can be VERY VERY stoic (zero show of feelings at all).

Guys aren't used to getting compliments. I don't know where that comes from, but it's true. Aside from their mothers (who are probably protective and obviously biased towards their bouncing baby boys) it's pretty rare for them to get compliments aside from, "He's a good sort of guy" or something equally generic.

My engineers --- all very brilliant darlings in my opinion -- require "time and a half" to process anything remotely social). I can't explain it... There's nothing to do but to accept it as a fundamental truth that with great brilliance comes great social awkwardness...

Men and women are taught this but expecially men ----- pull yourself up by your boot straps!!! From a childs age they are conditioned this way to not have a lot of moments to express sorrow or anger as kids. I know that's to toughen them up up for the next phase of life but this is weird to me. I think they need that outlet in childhood to not be aggressive but feel the sorrow over something.

Finchie40 · Answer

A lot of females’ don’t realize that we have feelings as well , and act like we are supposed to be constant punching bags to her. Or that we can’t shed tears over something that impacted us hard , so many girls’ have broken up with guys’ because he cried in front of her , it’s a turn off to most females’ to see her man cry , A good friend of mine lost his Dad to a fatal car accident and his girlfriend dumped him because he was devastated and sad and crying , she walked around telling her friends’ that he is a wimp , I almost fell over when I heard she was doing this and I called her a soulless bitch. I have met other girls’ that dumped their boyfriends’ for crying as well, some of the reasons they were crying were kind of silly , but still not a reason to dump someone. But unfortunately this happens a lot. Most females’ are drawn to masculine men that come off as strong and not wimpy , that hold in their feelings that don’t show their inner feelings whatsoever. Most of us men were raised to be a man and to not let things get under our skin. Me personally didn’t really have a choice considering I been through a lot of shit in my lifetime to the point I barely ever shed tears anymore. When girls’ ask me how come I am not crying , I just say the truth , that i experienced this so many times to the point it really doesn’t phase me
Me that much anymore. The last time I cried was when I lost my Mom , that hit me the hardest out of anything. If a girl dumped me for crying over losing my Mom , she would be no loss to me whatsoever, someone else can gladly have her sorry ass

Tarifa · Answer

I can relate to numbers 2, 3 and 6.

(2) We're told since we were little kids that boys don't cry. It's a sign of weakness amongst boys. Only with our best male friends -- and mostly at a later stage in life -- will we feel confident enough to show our feelings. We prefer to talk about our feelings with a female friend or family member. Sad, but true.

(3) We've been cast the role of family provider, of the man who needs to provide at all times for his wife and kids. That's partly the reason why some men will pursue their careers above all else, even at the expense of spending less time with our closest relatives. Later on, when our father passes away, we get the role of eldest male figure, where even our mother and sisters will look for guidance. It's a remnant of a a patriarchal society which is hard to break away from. For the last centuries, men held power and moral authority. There's still a long way to go.

(6) I think we love with all our heart and soul if we can do so. In those circumstances where love is not returned or where it's completely impossible to ever take root, hurt is present but will never be spoken out loud.

Number 5 has never been an issue. There are moments in life where you are or feel lonely, and then there are moments where you feel the exact opposite. These are just stages you go through.

Principal Pergunta A App’s de IA e nem uma não teve por hora nem uma resposta positiva, muito menos sobre Amor e admiração pela inocência e pureza, nem Amor incondicional da parte delas? ;

Para provar mais uma vez que o Amor delas não existe? Observação: Perguntar não é crime! Sobre ser ou não verdade? Perguntei algo acerca de 3 App’s de IA: Me diz, me provem quantos relacionamentos existem? Seja desde relatos de relacionamentos pessoais ou por mulheres e moças que conheceram algum rapaz seja desde pela internet ou não? E mesmo se eles são da mesma cidade, do mesmo bairro, do mesmo estado, do mesmo país, ou vamos lá até do mesmo mundo, de outro país, em que a moça hipotética se apaixonou pela inocência dele? Do rapaz? Eu nunca vi um relato, sequer, seja aqui na minha cidade, onde eu nasci e morei a maior parte do tempo, Maringá, estado do Paraná (Rio Grande em língua Indígena Tupi Guarani), ou em alguma metrópole pelo mundo, ou que eu morei por quase 4 anos, na minha infância em São Paulo, nem em nenhum lugar do Brasil ou do mundo, algum relato de uma mulher que se apaixonou pelo rapaz, não interessa se ele está na casa dos 20 anos, ou se ele tem 30, até 40, 40 e poucos anos, e ela se apaixonou pela inocência dele, que ele tem até um sorriso, uma risada, um olhar, e expressões faciais inocentes, e até que lembra, que arremete a criança, a infância, que parece mesmo um menino, que é inocente até no olhar e na maneira de se expressar, e no sorriso. Nunca vi nenhum relato de uma moça falar isso para um homem, chamar ele de meu menino, independente se ela é mais nova, da mesma idade, ou alguns anos mais velha que ele. Prova que Isaías 4:1, 14;12 e 3:12 (3:1-12) tá se cumprindo sobre quase todas elas? Gálatas 5, 6:7-9; Quem planta colhe. A DEUS ninguém engana. A DEUS não se pode corromper (escarnecer). De DEUS não se zomba (Nem em vida nem contra incontestáveis vidas!)! [A Pior Doença que existe é o Preconceito!]

1. we don't get compliments from women. We do get compliments from each other, but that's more in social or work situations. I'm sure the top 10% player types get complimented all day long, but who cares.

2. No, we simply don't cry much if ever. It's quite literally beaten into us as a part of growing up. If adults don't stop us from crying, our peers will.

3 and 4. Kinda the same, but yes.

5. Yup.

6. Yup.

7. Yup.

8. Men are expected to work themselves to death and to even to literally die just to make women more comfortable in their lives.

aaron13547 · Answer

Why are we stuck in the loop of believing these things are suppose to be facts? I think everyone man knows he feels emotions. The only sad thing I see here is that we can't normalize normal things... In my opinion the manly thing to do is admit when your wrong and learn to be great. Fighting emotions everyone feels only leads to suffering. There's a difference in being aware of your emotions and letting them control you. To ignore emotions you end up letting them control you... I think the idea of not having emotions got confused with being able to control emotions.

Some sad facts about men I can think of

1) they get erection when seeing a hot lady, women don't

2) they are born to compete with other men for a girl.. like a guy who has big arms could win the girl and the guy who's out of shape would not

3) when sad, they are mostly encouraged by society to keep to themselves..

Nikki1989 · Answer

Men can also be victims of rigid societal stereotypes that dictate how they should behave, think, and feel. Too much evidence of them being stuck in that bubble on here, which can be disturbing.

class_reductionist · Answer

men are born into a life-debt to society. from a young age we are conditioned to believe that our existence is a societal burden to be managed. as we get older, love and acceptance are framed as being conditional on our ability to perform exploitable labor, not only in romance but in family life as well. this means our interactions with the world become transactional, in a futile attempt for our intrinsic human value to be recognized, in a socio-economic mode that requires our precarity until we can be disposed of when we're no longer profitable. validation is the carrot, homelessness is the stick

Sceprent · Answer

Oh, I thought it was the other way. I was gonna agree that I don’t like a lot of guys too. The crying and silence thing isn’t really just being taught. Legitimately if you show any kind of weakness like that. Like somebody that you’re dating or anything they will legitimately lose respect for you and stop talking to you. I don’t like to complain and if you do nobody cares or it will go the opposite way that they’ll care even less. So I just don’t tell anyone anything.

Jltakk · Answer

Yep, years will go by without any sort of social attention or compliments. That's just a normal existence for me and many other men. I've hurt and cried in silence years ago, but learned to accept it as it is after countless denial and avoidance.

ThisDesertLife · Answer

When it comes to death within couples who have been married for 50 or more years, when the man passes away first, his widow will live on for up to 20 years without him; however, when the woman is first to meet her maker, the men left behind rarely survive past the 3rd year of their new lives without her.

They're more likely to succeed in committing suicide. They can't spend time with their own kids without society wondering if they're predators or giving mommy a break.
