What health and lifestyle choices do modern men need to improve on?

[Notherndude84]

I’m curious to what women think about the lifestyles of the average American man. This could be The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Go ahead and vent.

You have cooking and cleaning responsibilities, like it or not. No, it’s not “helping out.” It’s your job too to have dinner ready, do the dishes, do your laundry, scrub the bathroom, go grocery shopping, and take the kids to their appointments.

Play video games, maybe just not 6-12 hours a day.


When something is wrong with your health, Swallow your pride or fears or whatever and go to the dr. Don’t force your family to bury you early.


Take care of your mental health properly, not by hiding behind alcohol, drugs, anger/violence, porn, or whatever else. Explore therapeutic methods. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to seek counsel of a therapist or psychologist, although it wouldn’t hurt the half of you men. I know a lot of you don’t like being “told” what’s wrong with you or how you’re living unhealthily, but sometimes it’s simply the goddamn truth and you need to make some changes, suck it up.


I’m sure there’s more but those are at the top of my head.

A huge huge one is mental health.

I can't tell you how many guys I've heard turn down therapy because they claim it's for women only. Like wildest shit I've ever heard. This "suffering in silence" tends to not end up being so silent. So it's professional help they need but they refuse it. Magically thinking a miracle will help them. If you're having a heart attack you get help. If you're suffering mentally, you also need professional help. Video games isn't gonna help, sports aren't gonna help, getting online and venting isn't gonna help. It exacerbates it ultimately.

Enforced already by @mandyfire98 but I feel like reinforcing, bc mental balance is so utterly meaningful in its implications. Choices, reactions, behaviors, lifestyles, whole kinds of consequences from this cause.

Especially in this world, now, where everything is so complex, societies, cultures and people, crisis of all kinds. We have so much complexity to face, to consider and little time to reflect, to balance. However, mental health is often confused with some sort of rigid, obsessive determination to reach fixed goals. When in fact balance is the opposite of obsession, it is about flexibility and motion. It's about... Dancing?

Not one says it's easy though

• Quit drinking, smoking, drugs, vapes.

Start going outside and get your body moving if you are at home all day.
Introduce work-life balance. Most men are grinding all day.
Get in touch with your emotional needs and meet them from within.

[chilldude33]

Wtf half of my post is gone. Oh well.

[chilldude33]

I had a long list of things 😅

[Smashingdoozy]

Chew with your damn mouth closed.
Pick up after yourself.
If you can't aim your damn willy, then sit the fuck down.

[Notherndude84]

Poor aim has been a universal male issue.

Cleaning up is important!

Had chewing with your mouth open become a problem again? I honestly have not noticed it.

[Smashingdoozy]

It's more lip smacking I've noticed which isn't blatantly chewing with your mouth open but is still really annoying

[exitseven]

@Smashingdoozy I had a crushed urethra and had it surgically repaired. I do not pee in a straight line anymore.

[Smashingdoozy]

@exitseven then sit the fuck down 👇🏻

[exitseven]

If I sit I do not dreaming my bladder completely

[Smashingdoozy]

@exitseven what do you mean by completely because you're not supposed to completely empty it.

[exitseven]

@Smashingdoozy I really am pretty messed up down there

[Smashingdoozy]

@exitseven better have some cleaning products ready to go to clean up after yourself then

[exitseven]

When I was having a new bathroom built I wanted to have a urinal but I was overruled

I have been called to jury duty 6 times in my life, twice I was selected and served on a jury. It's an interesting and rewarding experience. One gets to see how the justice system really works, unlike how Hollywood portrays it.

Which country? Men tend to take fitness less seriously as they are and embrace the "dad bod". It's laziness. Those men need to remember how good it felt to felt top fitness. Effort that is worthwhile when it makes you happy.

[Notherndude84]

Well, I live in the upper Midwest USA. I know American men are in terrible shape compared to other men around the world.

I have taken my health more seriously and lost weight myself.

[Opinion Owner]

Good for you. That you do for yourself is priceless.

[Opinion Owner]

Grow a pair dude.

[Notherndude84]

Got em already

Thank you

[Opinion Owner]

You ask a Q and then take responses personally,
all evidence to the contrary. But you're welcome.

[alice55]

Eating less animals fat and more veggie less sugar and no processed food.

[Anonymous]

stop taking advice from liberals and feminists and embrace masculinity

[Notherndude84]

I feel you have not read the question correctly.

Are you a MGTOW supporter?

[Opinion Owner]

I have read the question correctly. most of men's terrible health and lifestyle choices come from listening to liberals and feminists, choosing to have dad bods and wear dresses because physical fitness is apparently considered "far-right"

I support MGTOW for liberal men while liberal women are going 4B instead of trying of liberal men trying to persuade these liberal women not to go 4B

conservative men and conservative women are happy with each other

[Nikki1989]

Another sad incel anon has escaped the funny farm. Ignore these losers @notherndude84

[Notherndude84]

Agreed 👍

[Opinion Owner]

@Nikki1989 how's your 4B movement going Nikki? you mad guys aren't lining up to convince you to do otherwise?

@notherndude84 you happy you got your much-needed little validation from Nikki?

[Notherndude84]

Well, I’m not fishing for validation. The fact you are on here mocking and insulting women proves what a pathetic runt of a man you really are.

[Dargil]

Guilty. Diet and exercise.
