@@Kristen242008 I like people but since i live in a rather smaller town in Sweden where we dont really have the big city issue. We have a great community and it doesn't feel like tons of people mashed together in one place. I can go and walk in the forest by myself and probably wont see more than maybe 1 or 2 people there but at the same time still be close to my friends and family at home. I think it's a perfect balance, and i dont want to be completely isolated from people but not have the big city thing so thats why i think smaller towns or villages are great instead.

[@rileyrobertson7571]

Cities are psychologically damaging to everyone, including women. People need their personal space and freedom to feel happy. Studies have shown cities have the highest incidence of crime, depression, and especially suicide. And from personal experience, people in cities seem very on edge compared with people living in nature or smaller communities. We didn’t evolve to live shoulder to shoulder with millions of people. And it effects our society as a whole socially and emotionally for the worse.

[@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM]

Ive spent a lot of time doing home deliveries both in the city and out and let me tell you. EASILY the most uptight, on edge people I ever came across were in smaller towns. They worry about EVERYTHING. Immigrants taking their shit, brown people scaring them, the government, people in general. They just can't keep themselves from complaining about everything, real or imagined. People in the city are just people. They come in all types. Out in the country? Uptight as hell, and scary too.

One of my family members grew up in a village, and they are full of fear, hate, low wisdom etc. You may be right man, living in nature cut off from everyone feels so peaceful, but it can make you hatefull towards everything different too, if you dont have a brain that is. Most people i know, including almost all of the people who grew up in villages, seem to have no brain.

[@MixalisRed7]

YES! He's talking about mental health issues caused by cities that are NOT inherintly an issue of sex or gender. cities are designed for productivity, for capitalism, for many working class people shoved together for a profiting upper class. the issues of masculinity and femininity is oppressive because capitalism isn't very good at handling the differences of sex and gender in a way that makes it not oppressive. thats why we have a patriarchy f.ex., not because it's natural but because it's unnatural, undemocratic, unjustified

You're right. Lived in the city my whole life and I'm definitely not one of those men. City= Functions on distrust Wild= Functions on trust. In the city everybody is out to rip you off, pull you down, shove you to the bottom of the pack. Everyone is constantly pitched against one another for jobs and clawing for the top. However out in the countryside, in the wild, for people to survive it's all about team work. Working together to fix houses to keep out the cold, hunt food to feed tge women and children, make clothes and chop wood for fire. If you took a person that acts like they do and put them into a tribal village....they'd be cast out to the wolves at spear point inside of a week. Masculine traits are a bunch of dude on a Longboat sailing the oceans and going on Viking or packing the carriages and going on Crusade. We natural ache to work towards a goal and strive to maintain brotherhood. The city on the other hand functions exactly like they female, vindictive, bitchy, backstabbbing and selfish and so men take on those traits also and would happily cast their brother out onto the cold streets if it meant they got to drive a BMW.

I'm currently working in London Bridge and having to deal with miserable people all day long. Using public transport every day to go to work drains me, the people and the city life drains me, worst of all, I also live in Central London and that also drains me. I'm stuck here because my parents think this sort of lifestyle is a good way to live. Now I'm thinking of my escape because I care about the future generation. No way would I want my future family to go through the same BS as I have. City life has definitely made me feminine, now it's time to become a REAL MAN.

Those awful miserable people. Hang on a minute. Isn't it you who's miserable? Sounds a lot like psychological projection, what you're saying. Poor you having a job, having options, but no vulnerability, jus scorn for those sorrowful people. They're not even cruel or mean to you, just 'miserable' you say.

I was stationed in Frankfurt 89-91, and lived in large cities all around the world while in the US military. I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere Nebraska, so the big cities never really favored me. I liked the Frankfurt area a lot, tons of fun for a 19-21 year old with disposable income, but no way I could live there permanently. When my military time was done 15 years ago, I could have moved to many places to live, and I chose a part of the USA that is very similar to Scandinavia, its even full of Finlanders. 20 miles to the largeish town from my front door, woods all around me, I have deer, turkeys, moose, bears, wolves, coyotes, and foxes making their way across my yard all the time. Its so quiet and peaceful here that my PTSD is relaxed and I am not on edge like if I were in a city or suburbs. I live alone with three dogs, and the two cats stay outside to keep the rodent population in check. The world is my urinal. I can do almost anything I feel like doing here, which is how I like it. I can sight in a rifle from the roof of my house, put holes in paper whenever I feel the need to practice my marksmanship. I like to cook over an open fire when there isn't 6' of snow everywhere. I am the happiest I have ever been in my 50 years on the planet and the only thing I want nearby is a drag strip so I can race the cars I build. I can walk 100ft and be immersed in nature isolated from all technology. Masculinity is not toxic. Its liberating. Interestingly people move out of my way when I am in public, nobody brushes against me if they can help it, they go around. Every country I have been to, every city I have walked in, people move for me. Is curious how that works.

@@terryboyer1342 I like the scenery here, its amazingly beautiful, especially right now with the trees changing. However it is the most socially dead place I have ever lived. Even a hermit loner such as myself wants some social time once in a while, and a drag strip would be epic or at least some other similarly minded car guys to hang out with. By 8pm its dead, and the only place anyone goes is the bars. 10 years of trying to change that, and all they want to do is drink and at most sit around at a car show before they take it right back home and put it away. I daily drive my 60s and 70s muscle cars, rain or shine, they are what gets me around. Their idea of hunting is leaving a pile of apples in an open spot and waiting up a tree. My idea of hunting is walking into the wind, quietly, slowly, stalking my prey. Its an entirely different mindset from mine. Sure is pretty here though, makes me not want to sell my land so I have a reason to come back if I move to the western plains where I grew up.

You know, thank you. I'm from Northern Canada. I'm in a unique situation where we are in a forested city. What you spoke of in regards to feeling congested or short of breath even applies in a city of only 100,000 people. There is something that happens to the energy a man or woman produces when they are confined to the structure of a city. They start to change negatively. It's almost as if they are producing static from a television. The anxiety radiates from them as they live fast paced lives, hearts racing, no time to think. You see it sucking the life out of their faces. It's a disease in a way. To experience life in a flurry that can cause you so much damage. I really do agree with you. It is not healthy to live in densely populated places. When you say that you can breathe, I know it runs much deeper than just filling your lungs. You return to peace when you can simply sustain yourself in a wooded area. Things move slower. You do too. Your lifes rhythm returns to a slow and steady pace, and you reconnect with what life actually is. I am terribly sorry for people who have never experienced that. I feel grief in a way that people could be blinded by city life. I couldn't imagine living without the smell of muskeg and pine trees on my clothes. Or the smell of wet WILD grass, and not some overzealously kept lawn in a city. It goes even deeper than just manhood. City life steals your humanity from you.

The idea that this guy has failed to adapt to the evolved world such that he is compelled to go and live in the bush(like a caveman) is a sign that he has failed to evolve. He is the specie that ends up becoming extinct. Acting like a cavemen does not make you "more of a man", what makes you more of a man is having a penis(period). What you fashion your life being becomes your choice,but a true survivor adapts to his "new" environment and makes the most of it,that is what separated us from the simians. Having self awareness and control is what makes one an exceptional human being regardless of gender.

@@Avatinfernus weak is a mindset. The inability to deal with real conflict, be it physical or mental is weakness. Indecisiveness, lack of confidence, worrying about everything, etc...all traits of weakness. These are also traits of depression. Whether or not it matters is going to be up to the individual.

[@snowfrosty1]

Avatinfernus No offense but your "food for thought" is undercooked and pretty rancid bud. When men "get weak" physically, emotionally, and mentally the ramifications are extensive, multileveled and can range from neutral to grandiose and even dire. Historically, and in more modernist time periods, this has always been true above a tribal/communal level. In this day and age across the Earth; particularly among and/or across nations, polities, and regions like the industrialized 'West' and 'Developing Countries' like China, Nigeria, and India; many cultural, socio-political, familial, economic, medical, etc.....problems and issues are like they are in part due to (modern)Human male "weakness"(read: fragility, cowardice and incompetence). A good example of the aforementioned being the worsening status of entrenched 'Western' governmental corruption. Even just on a personal level, if boys and men are "weak" they're almost automatically trusted less, de-valued and deemed unattractive. While its okay to be physically average and mentally more sensitive, It's almost never good being "weak". If you are in need of some excellent sources just ask.

I live in a city in NY state. I came on youtube this morning trying to find more info about why I'm so depressed after spending time in a beautiful secluded state park and then having to come back home to the city. Bjorn you're absolutely right! I'm depressed because I can't find a man who wants to live somewhere peaceful and quiet. The best men I've ever known were ones who knew how to survive in the woods and thrived there. I find I can't really be feminine in the city either. I'm expected to be this working class soccer mom, wearing the pants and always being on the run, and I just can't anymore. I need a homestead where I can grow things and be in nature and be a dress and apron wearing woman with a manly man. I feel like I'm suffocating sometimes. Thank you for doing this video!
