I hate being around emotional dudes. Everybody does. Suck that sh1t up, buttercup.
@Tenacity
This is absolutely true. There is nothing like the discomfort of being around an emotional dude. They are capable of anything. Part of becoming an effective man is learning to find BALANCE between emotion and rationality. We must not turn our back on emotion, but we must learn to overcome it and tame it to a reasonable degree. A man who rants is a man who is insecure and out of control.
Every emotional man I know is either feminine and passive or, if the angry type, has a persecution complex.
I don't mean you become an unemotional robot. I'm just saying that men don't wallow in their weaknesses. It's okay to have a problem, but as men, our reaction is to try to solve it. Not cry and rant about it, that's more of a female response. If a guy comes on this forum and is a crying, emotional mess, the other guys here are going to give him some tough love and tell him to get it together. That's just the way males are.
Another factor is that men aren't as likely to share their innermost thoughts as women. So if we do have private thoughts about our weaknesses, we are less likely to air them. Women like to talk about their problems, while men retreat to their "man cave" to figure them out.
Yup. The worst thing a man can do is to be an emotional tampon to a woman.
"But you are not being authentic if you're not gushing your emotions to a woman" says the man reeking of estrogen-ic sweat. Wrong!
Women do not assume the role of your mother. Women lean on YOU for emotional support, not contrariwise. YOU are the rock. Women are the ocean. Once you become the ocean full of emotional tirades and uncontrollable diatribes, you have taken the place of the woman, assumed the feminine nature, and now have become the bltch. Nothing could be more repulsive than this to a feminine woman.
Testosterone seeks stoic solutions. Estrogen seeks emotions and anchors to release those emotions. The problem is not why one cannot pour their emotions onto a woman, but rather why would one have those "emotions needed to pour" to begin with.
I'm not saying a guy just sits around crying and moaning
ALL DAY.........
I'm saying that this
notion that a Grown Man cannot at some point be emotional, cannot at some point be angry, cannot at some point be sad, cannot at some point cry, cannot at some point be scared, cannot at some point show weaknesses...........is something straight off of the Cartoon Network and the World Wrestling Federation. This entire notion that an "emotional" Man isn't attractive to women, is just pure Cartoon stuff. From my experience, it's been the guy that is the MOST emotional that women seem to be drawn to. Guys who are:
- A bit aggressive
- A bit passionate
- A bit romantic
- A bit sexual
- Not a push-over
All of these traits are driven and FELT through emotion. How can you be passionate without showing emotion? How can you be romantic without showing emotion? How can you have a back-bone and not be a push-over, without showing emotion?
One of the foundations of my commentary is from a Personality standpoint, guys should be REAL.
The more REAL you can be, the more of a connection will you make with not just women, but other people.
Sosuave/The Manosphere seems to be on a campaign to take whatever REALNESS a man has and destroy it, in favor of turning him into some "Cartoon Character" that the Manosphere designed and decided one day that EVERY man needs to be like.
It's honestly why The Manosphere doesn't solve a lot of problems for guys in relation to women. You have guys who have been on The Manosphere for years and are STILL struggling to build up plates/get dates/get laid.
Ever ask yourselves why that is?? In my opinion, it's because 95% of the material on the Manosphere is Cartoonish, for example:
- Manosphere says you can never hold a convo through Texting (Bad Advice)
- Manosphere says you can never hold a long convo on the Phone (Bad Advice)
- Manosphere says don't use OLD (Bad Advice)
- Manosphere says to use cold approaching very, very, very, often (Bad Advice)
- Manosphere says to use 3 second rules (Bad Advice)
- Manosphere says don't call a girl after getting her number for like 5 days (Bad Advice)
- Manosphere provides a ONE SIZE FITS ALL strategy to deal with women, even though dealing with different races/cultures of women come with their own individual set of problems (Which Means The Manosphere Is Providing More Bad Advice)
- Every single time a guy is having a problem with a woman, it HAS to be the guy's fault and not the fact that the woman is a retard..... (Which Means The Manosphere Is Providing More Bad Advice)
- Every time a guy is having a problem with women, the Manosphere tells him to go workout like that's going to magically address his problems with women, which have nothing to do with a barbell (Which Means The Manosphere Is Providing More Bad Advice)
I can go on and on. If the generic, textbook, advice that you guys give out was SO GREAT, you wouldn't have so many
failures in the Manosphere. As a result, I'm just saying....maybe (
just maybe) you ought to start considering some of the alternative viewpoints I've been presenting.
