What happened to men?

[moderndarwin]

seems easier to just focus on making money and to go on vacation to countries where prostitution is legal a few times a year and flourish.

Also jp. There’s a lot of decent women out there. If you are looking at life through a social media lens you already are putting yourself in a perspective that only hurts your psyche.

Define a strong man DC. What is a strong man in your opinion?

Young boys need to see men around them that are

Respectful
Hard Working
Demanding (In a loving way)
Resilient (what we generally call TOUGH)
Resourceful
Dependable

Many of our young boys see models of this but it usually is in the form of a woman.

Young boys need to see folks that look like them display these qualities.

S
You can't go after aspiring IG thots who post booty pics for 250 likes and then be confused and ask "how come she put my DMs on blast"

Yup. The "like" culture got a lot of these broads (and dudes) confidence inflated to the point that there's no way they'll ever be happy or content. It's like a relationship version of keeping up with the Jones. They trying to make miniature versions of "power couples" based on social media fame

Where does intelligence fit in there my man?

I made that list off the top of my head but that should be there. In various forms. Streets, books, nature based, etc......

With intelligence in the lead, wouldn't you say that a person can learn from anyone? With intelligence, one can learn to use the tools of any master, be it male or female, correct?

Looking at the Black community for example, some of our most influential and remarkable individuals that have changed history, came from single parent households. If left to the devices of white supremacy, this was not supposed to happen. Here in NYC, a impoverished family could not receive access into public housing during the 50's and early 60's, if what they called a capable man were living at home. So in order to gain housing, many Black families had to act like they were not together, or break up all together, if they needed a place to live. One of the housing projects where this law stood is called the Gowanus Houses.

Because African Americans live in a system that is geared toward the destruction of the Black family, why should Black men emulate what is oppressing them, in order to get ahead? Black women have done a fantastic job in holding Black America together, in all aspects. That resiliency should be emulated, applauded and venerated, not shut down, correct?

I don't have all of the answers, but shutting down Black women does not seem like the right move, in order to save what is called Black masculinity.

Of course I am. But there are too many poop for brains type dudes around, to speak upon it objectively.

I wasn't implying that we need to shutdown black women.

I was just saying children need positive masculine energy around them

Couple things I may add to that list but I definitely agree with that sentiment, I was adopted around the age of 8 into a home with stability and a strong male figure. Now Coaching HS Basketball and Teaching in the High School setting for over 10 years. It's not fool proof but I can usually tell pretty quick who has a father involved in their lives. It all comes back to investing in to youth, if the kid knows they're cared about and a priority to someone, the chances of them being successful are much greater.

LOL! If you read some of the responses here, as I was addressing them as well, you can kinda tell where and who this sort of anger is pointed toward.

I doubt these dudes are complaining about Becky.

But if you want to have sex with them, you do like them...physically. You may not "love" her, but that's not something that happens on site anyway. Most relationship start from physical attractions. Plus, the street runs both ways. All in all....that dudes needs to shut up.

Making post like that to try to get women to like you to sleep with you wrong too

So who's the strong man in your life?

[turbospartan]

Not even on some macho steeze. Just some observation I've been making out in public. Have men lost their dignity to the point they're letting women walk all over them? It's crazy how I have to check women and their aggressive tone on a frequent basis these days. Like I don't know how you talk to your man at home like a pet but don't come at me that way in public. Been noticing this in women of all shades white, black, yellow, purple, green, etc in the NYC area.

Any examples of what you've seen / heard?

Just trying to get a feel for what you consider aggressive tone from women, and men losing their dignity.

jeesh, just wait until you all find out that masculinity & femininity aren't native to their respective societal biological sexes & feminine men & masculine women exist that aren't of the lgbtqia community. so much unpacking to do & this fragile masculinity & toxicity is killing us & others day by day.

People have known this forever. It's only modern society that makes you pick a side. A more effeminate male is gonna be pushed towards declaring himself as gay.
Any young boy that prefers to experiment in the kitchen over playing football and geto his brain rattled daily gonna be pushed towards being gay.

We have always known this as a people. Society has just created new boxes and labels.

what we've known vs. how we've act are two different things... hence the initial statement.

You said wait till we find out.

We've always accepted that some dudes softer than others. And some women harder than some dudes out here.
