  • if men display feelings, they’re seen as bitches by men, and weak by women (exceptions exist, but generally speaking).

    basically, a piece of toxic masculinity….
    men are only allowed to display emotions of anger or mild happiness.
    i think this is a big reason why sports are so popular… it’s more about camaraderie than anything else.
    also why they like to get drunk and say “i love you man” and all that mushy stuff.

    in a nutshell: because they’re taught to be that way.

    i think it’s something to do with support groups and stuff… some people just want that sense of community so bad they’ll act like they were abused to get it.

    happened to me once…, was in a relationship for years, was good, broke up, stayed good friends for years… moved away… called her one day and suddenly i was abusive and the relationship was fucked up.
    (i swear to god i wasn’t… barely had any arguments at all, and they were never mean or anything… her story of lying to me about me even changed over time… i think she gaslit herself)
