@@Elmucaroarrebatao The lable doesn't matter so much, as the fact that some traits in human biological foundation can cause trouble - men have theirs, women have theirs. And the extremes of the normal distribution within the genders have theirs, specifically. But I tend to agree, that better knowledge and solutions are found in more precise distinctions - so I am OK with making a distinction between fragilities of the (male, female) brain and (moral, character) weakness. That could be very helpful when figuring out how to co-educate boys and girls to neither gender's disadvantage.

Scott's perspective on showing emotion is warped by both his age (generational differences) and spending time around ultra-high-power men. For Harry Styles and other modern giga chads, the emotional awareness and vulnerability are "truffle shavings" on an already world-class dish. Among younger (and less successful) men, these qualities don't move the needle because they don't drive real-world results. They need a positive Matthew effect loop - compounding small wins - more than anything else.

I agree at least to 60% with this assessment.

He could also simply mean emotional intelligence and be describing it as outward expression. There is no stage in our adolescent development where we are taught those skills.

A good place to get that connection in is through your job. My husband spent the last year working with quite a few young men, they are in their early 20s so not as young as Scott was referring to, that within a few months were coming to him with questions about life and asking his advice on things. I know kids coming into the workforce these days are harder than ever to relate to but I think there’s an opportunity there.

Enjoyed this podcast. I didn't know that molested boys are 10x more likely to commit self-deletion than molested girls. At the start of the video, Scott talks about how one of the greatest skills a man can have is to 'cold approach'. The incurring rejections you have and [hopefully[ build a bulletproof plate of self-esteem can go a long way. Chris from GLL also talks about this as well, since the skills you learn to 'cold approach' are applicable not just for dating, but for business opportunities. When you can repeatedly take rejection over, and over you stop caring about looking bad, because when you got rejected all the things that you thought in your head that would happen, didn't.

[@nathanwinsor7]

Also the inconvenient truth that is touched on a little bit here, women don’t like that shit. We don’t live in a novel, and no matter how many of them “claim” to want men to be emotional, they’ll dump the man they’re with in a second if he cries.

Scott is part of the problem contributing to men's suicide rates. He's dismissing legitimate concerns and issues that men are experiencing in the current dating and relationship landscape.

[@andrewbloomquist6351]

Why are we acting like men manifest or express their emotions the same way women do? Men's emotional side is generally anger more than sadness. Most dudes when they're bothered don't want to just "cry" it out. They're f*cking pissed and need to discern a good outlet for their frustrations. Now I personally think men need to stop taking social media as gospel. It's an exaggerated idea of what reality really is, but we can't discount that it will have effect on younger men. They also must understand that the world does not care about you unless you give them a reason. I learned that from Ayn Rand, and not from the public school system.

Love Scot and Chris, but if suicide rates are higher, why is "showing emotions" the answer? When the suicide rate was lower, men were much more likely to be stoic and keeping emotions inside. It's much deeper than "letting emotions out."

Correct. Showing emotions won't solve the problem that is leading men into depression. Most of the times it's rational thoughts that lead into a downwards spiral.

[@jonathan4831]

Previous generations were less likely to commit suicide for a variety of reasons. My grandfather was stoic and it was obvious he rarely processed and understood his emotions. I saw this with other men of his generation as well. Just because a person presents a stoic demeanor doesn't mean they have a high emotional intelligence and are adequately processing their emotions or have a good understanding of their internal world. Men today struggle with processing emotions, primarily because no part of our adolescent development includes being educated on emotional processing and learning. Whether you express your emotions to others or choose stoicism, both require the ability to process emotions and learn from them. This isn't the only reason for suicides but contributes.

[@stretch1807]

We went on a few dates but when she got the idea that I don't possess the money for an abundant lifestyle she ended things. Although this young lady said several times that I was more attractive than her, and my character is amazing, she still ended things when she found out I don't make 6 figures. My point is that she's below average, in the way men view women, but in modern times women hold the power, therefore I won't feel sorry for her if she dies alone. Women (of all body sizes) ending things when they find out I don't make 6 figures is something that has happened frequently in the last few years too. Me on the other hand, I continue to save, and have applied to Grad School so I can increase my income. I accept the fact that I have to do better, but if Chris or Scott expect me to feel sorry for women when they age out of their prime, I'm sorry, but I won't. There's an idea that every man who isn't in a relationship is porno or video game obsessed, still living with their mothers. This is 200% wrong.

And you'll probably have to learn to travel very, very light, so try to be comfortable being alone (or alone with God) for extended periods, and don't think twice about moving across the country or the world if you think there's an opportunity to move the needle. Many of us older folks went through very similar experiences when we were young. But the opportunities did come significantly faster, especially in the dating realm.

It's easy to be emotional, you don't have to understand a feeling to cry, you don't have to recognize reasons and changes in your mood to cry. It's just a reaction to a stimulus, just like I don't have to diagnose a intestinal tumor to know my stomach hurts. It is hard to suppress emotions though. Because you have to identify the changes happening in your mood and mental state in real time, realize where it's leading and how to stop it. Men from an early age train in emotional surgery, recognizing a problem, diagnosing it, and removing it before it can cause more damage. Meanwhile women cry "I'm in pain" do nothing to fix it and act like they are world renown emotional experts.

[@Xyponx]

"I try not to mention or make it obvious that I'm wealthy." This is why you fail. Chad and Tate are going to flaunt their money and any other potentially positive attributes to partners. You are actively hiding your worth on the dating market. When you say you "don't desperately pursue women" and "if the girl doesn't reciprocate I just move on" what I'm hearing is that you don't try very hard. That's unattractive to women, that you give up so easily. Scott said in this video that in the vast majority of successful relationships the woman wasn't interested in the beginning, it was only after being pursued that their interest began to generate which sublimates into a relationship. As far as I can tell, you are actively avoiding generating interest in other towards you and then lamenting the fact that no one is interested in you.

[@AnttiTolamo]

I agree. But current thinking is analytic and inward looking. People are afraid failing. In reality men need to learn to fail. If you are afraid to fail, you are often despate. And desperation never works with women, clients, employers or customers. So long as you cant fail, you will feel desperate and give those signals too.

[@mattcarman855]

I often find myself in tears, but I believe that discerning female companions can distinguish between tears stemming from self-pity and those arising from genuine and intense emotions, whether positive or negative.

One of my favorite books "The Social Animal" uses a narrative to teach about sociology and references many other books and papers. One of the analogies that comes is "Askers vs guessers". Personally, I've always been very agreeable and and a guesser meaning I'd hesitate to ask for a promotion or for help unless I was confident, I'd get a positive response. The Askers tend to be those that will always ask and tend to say "The worse they can do is tell me no." And they're completely OK with that. I had to learn that in relationships and my career.

The problem, as other commenters pointed out, is that when men do show their emotions they're punished for it. A certain man's dog would have something to say about that. So why are we still repeating the tired, useless, broken phrase "men need to learn to show their feelings"? Simple, because women can't handle men's emotions. Men are expected to 100% handle their partner's emotions constantly, but unless you're in the top 1% like Chris and Scott showing emotional vulnerability is an instant turn off for men and women alike. When we stop punishing 99% of men for showing their emotions, MAYBE THEN we'll start having more men showing their emotions in public. Until then, the punishments are too severe and the benefits don't exist.

I know there are emotionally mature women who validate men's vulnerable feelings if the man wants to be heard, understood and is also seeking solutions to his struggles/problems.

On the other hand, women in general have an aversion to/hold contempt for men who linger in victimhood, blaming others/their environment for their misfortune, acting out, merely licking their wounds without seeking solutions.

Thinking a bit about this it seem like the two are totally disregarding that there is a power balance between the genders. Women and men do not hold equal power in all domains.

Now if two people with very unequal power bumps into each other, the one with least power must tread very carefully. The larger the power differential, the less chances are for a balanced relation.

Professor doesn’t know jack. Women refuse coffee dates. In fact just the mention of getting coffee gets you put on the do not call list. 😂

As a woman I agree. Furthermore I don't even drink coffee

Rejection is easy. Shrug it off and move on. ACCEPTANCE, having to keep coming up with ideas, about things to talk about, things to do, to keep a relationship interesting, that's hard.

I would be interesred in the stats concerning the percentage of suicidal men raised in single mother household. I think they would be interesting

[@Xyponx]

It's not hard to guess given the statistic that children of single mother households do worse across the board. Wouldn't be surprised if upwards of 90% of these men were raised by single mothers.

If it's only a select few women that behave negatively to male emotional release, then it's all women. I've never met a woman that can handle male emotional response positively. Not blaming. Just it's not what they need.

I disagree that prostitution should be made legal. Why encourage degeneracy? We already have a problem and that would just exacerbate it.

I met my husband while I was looking at tulips in the spring at the grocery store. It took me 3 weeks to call his number. Number 1 reason I did was because he did not fear rejection and gave me his number. Thought it was funny how he was trying to teach his boys that! I say Hell Yes get out there and atleast ask. No one will melt if the answer is no….guys and girls👍🏼😁

It’s hard when you have a lower level manager that works his life away for a company never able to be social, and falls in love at work. Then because he has a “minimal” amount of authority you axe him because a girl is salty she got dumped 4 months after the fling.
