This is why men don’t like opening up to people, because we just get ridiculed for showing vulnerability or emotions.

All we men want is just someone who said "I love you" , and someone to spend what little time as have on this world. All we need to work past our limits, and something to look forward to at the end of a long day. With so much rejection and being told there not needed, it's why most of us can't "just smile more". Why we just more then provide for ourselves these days. Many of us were raised and dreamed to provide for a family to call our own. With that dream crushed, all the "good men" can do is just focus on work, and tend to their friends who are their brothers. Those who so understand their pain

It's quite shocking to see the honest people's opinion in social media, before it was just people saying all that toxic sh*t behind our back with a couple of friends. I don't want to be THAT guy...

@@BMVfilms I get that this "just smile more" is a reference to what men used to tell women, especially in 20th century. Back when they were treating lonely and depressed women for "hysteria". But revenge is NOT empathy. Group revenge for discrimination is HYPOCRISY. If you hate how men were telling women "just smile more", then don't do the same thing to men now. Men telling women things like that in 20th century aren't the same young depressed men who are having social problems now. "Let's discriminate people the way we used to be discriminated" is one of the most disgusting hypocrisies of modern leftists. No. If you say something is bad, then you're not allowed to do it as revenge. Especially against a group of people and not the specific individuals who did it to you in the past.

[@med2904]

Because now teaching women some social manners, standards, and respect is seen as "evil patriarchy". Anything short of "You're an empowered woman who can do anything she wants and you shouldn't allow the society to dictate how you should live!" isn't acceptable in the West now. Men and older women would gladly teach young women how to behave with manners, logic, and dignity. But they can't if the social standard today is "Let women do whatever they want regardless of consequences or you're an evil far right nazi".

It's also why people think women are more self-centered than the sun. It's about relationships in general, mostly between other men.

These politically-driven radicals somehow either pretend or genuinely didn't get that men have pretty much always disproportionately been on the side depicted as ugly, evil and disposable... Creep or not, worker or not. And somehow society is supposedly built by those men to benefit themselves only. On a less related note, I think this could also be why the meme exists where men see for example idealized, fantasy physiques in media and instead of complaining, they often get inspired to work towards those unrealistic goals. It's one of the few times we see men depicted as "cool" and "desirable" after all.

Had to find out, after she broke of the relationship. Also was raised by my late mom along with my brother, after my father drank himself to death & he left my mom in debts. I allways wanted to treat women real good, because I saw the opposite happen to my mom, but most women see soft & caring men as pussies (pardon my pun).

[@theshotgundog]

10:34 i love how certain women feel this way. When these particular women probably couldnt even swap a tire on a car. All these women that feel like they dont need men I love to imagine how they handle a broken down car without accepting help from a man. (I know women can but typically the ones who feel like the ones in the video truly can't, either literally physically inable or just have never been taught)

[@vision4860]

Nah see, the Triple A employees don't count as "people" to those women. (I doubt ANY employee counts as "people" to those women.) If they don't see a man, he doesn't exist to them. If the man is getting paid to do something for her, he doesn't exist. Never underestimate the power of these womens' *Not-People* category.

[@Unethical.FandubsGames]

I wouldn't go so far as to call her a 10. I doubt I could say that anybody is: And makeup knocks a point off, always.

[@vision4860]

I wouldn't call her a 10 on looks. She is pretty, but I'm not a big fan of the makeup style, it's pretty heavy sometimes. To each their own of course, besides it's not like the opinion of random man on the internet matters there even if she wasn't married. But whoever's going straight to "ugly" is just reaching because they hate her.

[@med2904]

She was 10/10 like 5+ years ago. I loved her old goth-like style. But recently she's coloring her hair too much and does this weird juxtaposition of trad wife dress + a ton of flashy make up, which makes her look like an old boomer lady who tries too hard.

[@Dr.Dementor]

3:42 That's an old saying and advice from the old days that men used to say to women, for example, to be more attractive to men, “just smile more”. Yes, that's right, this women picked up on a saying from the 1950s that no one has used for decades.

[@zdub93]

It's actually even older than that. It started as just helpful advice, not an attempt to flirt. If you smile even when you are sad it can "trick" your brain into releasing positive chemicals in your brain. Also it can make people _want_ to be more positive in their interactions with you. But now you can't give any woman this helpful advice without being labeled a creep.

[@DeidaraIsTheBest10]

@@zdub93 It's not just that they can be seen as creeps, it can backfire spectacularly. Maybe the person had a genuinely bad day and doesn't want to smile because she/he doesn't have a reason to at that moment. What if they just walked out of a funeral? What if they lost a beloved pet recently? Being told to smile more can really be annoying and infuriating or bring out those emotions again.

[@zdub93]

@@DeidaraIsTheBest10 i just love that as a society and as individuals everyone sees everything in the worst possible light at all times. With pessimism like this it's little wonder why people are more isolated than ever in the west. Yes I'm aware that people sometimes have a good reason to be upset, but in all honesty I think it's far more likely that a random person on the street that "looks" upset just has rbf or is bored. But let's say that in an instance where the person in question did in fact just lose a loved one my question is: why does that now mean that some stranger who is trying to cheer you up is now a bad person? I'm not saying that anyone must comply with the advice of smiling more but how is it right to view such advice as have been done with nefarious intent? This whole mentality of "well _maybe_ you'll make things worse" has lead to people simply no longer trying to help lift up their fellow man anymore. This leads to the breakdown of community which leads to the breakdown of society. All to avoid _possibly_ making things worse. This whole mindset seems kinda nihilistic to me and shows that some people are incapable of seeing the good in others.

[@jdrok5026]

It still gets somewhat used by people telling people in public facing working positions to smile lol but it's literally just because it makes them more approachable mostly. Don't really know if it's meant for male attraction I grew up in a very conservative area with a lot of small town vibes which means we weren't up to date on many things. So we kinda used it because of hospitality it wasn't used to be like a dis or anything it was just a gesture that the area grew up with and younger girls hate it. Idk why or what for but I only ever said it to my best friends because we always had that dynamic lol. But yeah saying to smile more is rare today even in the back woods like where I come from lol so it's really just decent advice because smiling literally does have benefits.

Thank you for this. This discourse needs reasonable people like you. You make affected feel heard and content like this genuinly saves lifes. I think the thing is that the these kinds of women and especially radical feminist who participate in this discourse are used to thinking in the narrative of pro women=anti men. Even when most won't admit that but their reaction to advocation for men shows that. It's just a projektion. Thats why they feel like pro men=anti women.

You want to know what I find hilarious, most of the comments and TikTok videos being made about the topic in a negative way are made by women. We don't have to say what the problem is, you literally show it for the world to see. Which is why guys would rather stay single than deal with someone like that.

[@davidm6329]

The good news is that this is a vocal minority of women. Most women are actually decent people, just like most men are. But the decent people are much less motivated to post and like content to TikTok and Twitter about positive things. Rage has an inherent snowball effect. These people fuel each other.

[@elvin5028]

some of the comment from the man side is probably because of trust issue or something like that. to see a woman talking about our problem and even showing a sense of emphaty in it probably makes them weird because that's how i feel personally. it's not a bad thing, it's just like you put a cat in a new place and of course the cat will be scared and bein cautious about everything. on the side note i think shoe saying "you're struggling, but you're not a bad person, you matter." might be just the solution for some people because i personally almost cried after hearing that. thanks shoe, thanks cy

This hits me so close to home. Over 5 years ago I was accused by a coworker of sexual harassment that I never did. She even made up names of coworkers to try and get me. I'm fortunate that my management had my back, and was found to be innocent. Since then, I've been afraid of women, and I've only recently been coming to terms with it, but it's still not easy to get past. I haven't been able to fight my fear enough to try asking out any women until just a few months ago, but that didn't go anywhere. Some nights the loneliness is just so heavy.

There is actually already one going on. A female loneliness epidemic. I've encountered several women now approaching 30+ never been in a relationship and freaking out with their 3 eggs left. Honestly I feel for them it's sad they were brainwashed in sleeping around and getting abortions would "empower" them.

Finally someone on point with the occuring. Most women will be alone. They labored for it. Actively. Thatvs why the statistic before covid was 60% by 2030.
