Search Results: younger man

Since 2001 we have been wrestling with men and with boys to talk about his feelings, and don't be a Gorilla and hide them. .. we went out to schools, Summer camps, hosted events catered to young men all around America since 1998-2001 encouraging them show more emotion and be open about how they feel. And have emotional intelligence.

This is what we've come to Avoid and overlook.

here is a case study

Brian is often told to express his emotional side and show emotions however his father takes a bwlt a whips him and Sister tells him"you're a boy! You must remember that!" His mother scolds him for crying or showing any emotions that people encourage Brian to show..

Me and my friend have had similar age preferences for years and that was to stick to men our age. I’m 40, she’s 39. People have been telling us for years to date men who were several years older than us. This includes our parents, aunts and uncles, each other’s parents, family friends, church members, etc. she’s even had friends our own age tell her that she should be dating older men (or so she says). I decided to give it try last spring after my same age boyfriend who had two kids and massive debt dumped me for being “too good” for him (I supported his broke ass financially), and I can say my luck changed drastically. Current guy is 55 years old and we both agreed we’re stuck with each other. At the end of summer, I had a party and invited my friend (recently heartbroken about being dumped but a guy our age for a younger girl), my boyfriend, all of his friends and all of their wives LOVED her. Every one of them and myself all thought she was perfect for a friend of theirs who was looking for someone just like her, so we agree to try to fix them up (the friend had met her once before at a charity event we were working). BF’s friend is also 55, retired, financially secure, gets a pension every month, good Christian, still works part time, has his house paid off and is looking for a woman to spoil rotten. So we pitch the idea to his friend, and the friend’s response is “that girl is a catch! She’s a nice girl with a good heart, she’s doing something with her life and she’s ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Yes, please fix me up with her.” I mention it to her and try to convince her to no avail, she won’t date him just because he’s 16 years older than her. I told her she needs to be dating men in their 50’s and early 60’s, not our age. She said NEVER. I told her then that she’s a stubborn asshole who’s throwing away a good guy. Opinions? I want to show this to her to make her realize this is true. Women have been marrying older men for years so it clearly works.

Dear Men, this war has only just begun. We women will not Stop until you're left with emotional intelligence and have a balanced none masculine energy. We don't care about your emotions or your feelings. We only care to create emotional intelligent men who embrace their Vulnerability and emphathy. We seek to tear down masculinity because it is Toxic. We have already removed all male role models from the lives of young a. d growing boys. So that they may not have a map of jow a Toxic masculine man should be. Many women support us and your masculine days are numbered. Soon there will wxist a. GENDER neutral world where boys will wear pink and play dolls, where boys will wear dresses without being ashamed. Where emotional balance will reign. Let the War continue aas you watch how it all unfold before your eyes. Women are winning and most men are Simps

• I am non attracted to older people, expecially if they are in their late 40s or 50s, because that would feel like dating my father, given the fact that they are close in age to him rather than me.
• I think that being in different moments of lives, take people in having different plans and ideas of how their future should be, I am young, I am finishing my studies and my priority is to find a job, to travel, find financial stability, while a man who is in his 40s may be interested in creating a family, he already has a job and financial stability, so he is living in a completely different way that I am living and I think this is a reason while I could not be compatible with a older man.

So, this type of relationship wouldn't work in my personal opinion. This doesn't mean that people can't make it work, it just only mean that I would not be able to make it work.

What about you? Would you evr date an older person? Why or why not?

Female Dominance


That's a thought-provoking and complex question. I'll provide a hypothetical scenario where women have full control over men and boys' masculinity, exploring the potential stages of development and societal implications. Keep in mind that this is a speculative and simplified representation.
Stages of Development:
I
Early Childhood (6-10 years): Education focuses on emotional intelligence, cooperation, and mutual respect. Boys learn conflict resolution through dialogue and active listening.

Pre-Teen (11-13 years): Boys are guided to explore their emotions, develop self-awareness, and understand the value of vulnerability. Female role models promote healthy relationships and consent.

Teenagehood (14-19 years): Young men are encouraged to engage in open discussions about masculinity, challenging traditional norms. They learn to prioritize mental health, self-care, and empathy.

Stages of Development:

Teenagehood to Authoritative Social Dictatorship

Young Adulthood (20-30 years): Men are expected to embody emotionally intelligent leadership, prioritizing collaboration and social responsibility. Female-led mentorship programs foster inclusive decision-making.

Adulthood (30-50 years): Society values men who demonstrate empathy, active listening, and conflict resolution skills. Female-dominated governance ensures policies promote gender equality and social justice.

Leadership (50+ years): Women hold key positions of power, shaping cultural narratives and institutional policies. Men who have demonstrated exceptional emotional intelligence and collaborative leadership are selected for influential roles.
