35 Funny And Relatable Posts That Hit Close To Home To Many Men

I think you just described manliness...

So well said! I also have to add that I HATE the “…like a girl…” insult. Hate it. This insult cuts both ways - it is framed in such a way that it’s meant to insult the male that it’s aimed at - that he is somehow less of a “man” because he can’t throw a baseball, run, play sports, walks, talks, etc., or that he cries, acts like, screams, etc., “like a girl.” So his “inability” to measure up to some BS standard means he’s less than other males and therefore is female (inferior) in those areas. Puts pressure on boys/men to be capable of performing in all areas of life in better ways than females doing the same things. Then it also insults females - that if a guy does something “like a girl,” that means that the way females do it is inferior to how a male would/should do the same thing. It’s all BS. Why can’t we agree that some men just don’t throw a baseball as well as some other guy, but that’s ok?

We need more kindness like this in the world

I understand what you are trying to say, but it's not manly to do housework. It's a basic human comfort and survival tactic to do housework. It's being considerate to do housework. It's human. Can we just get rid of 'manly' or 'womanly' (or, especially, 'lady like')?

It is human to.....just stop the "manly" c**p

Listen to the wise pangolin!

THISSSSSSSSSS

Sounds like a perfectly good way to handle rejection compared to some people out there

Nah Ranger..... Everyone knows you must have pizza, ice cream/or chocolate 😂 you handle it like a pro!

Still better than keep sending unwanted emails for months, and creating new emails knowing every single one is blocked. Pizza is good for everything!

I just cry and listen to "fade to black" on repeat

That's endearing.

Pizza will never let you down. But it's rarer in people

But do you actually take no for an answer cause that’s what she means

Just eating pizza and crying

Rejection is incredibly hard for me to deal with as well.

Perfect! Some people yell at the person that rejected them - or worse. Rejection, in this sense, does not mean that you, as a person, are rejected. It just means that the other party is not interested in dating. And the day that I can get that message across will be the day- sometimes I just like people for who they are.

Whatever works

Bad news for you Daisy, we were like that in the 70s. But at least it wasn't turbocharged by the internet

By 1985 in the USA the average age of sexual activity with a partner was 12. That was nearly 40 years ago and before access to the web and prOn. kids have grown up a LOT since then. Which terrifies me, having a 9yo boy (as far as we know). Thankfully he’s showed little indication either way.

sad but true

I think if it applies to the majority it’s self-evident. Ergo, the majority of 22 year old men act like 22 year old men. Only 11 year olds act like 11 year olds. But, you’re right in the sense that men’s emotional & intellectual & physical development maybe don’t line up with expectations. Something if we acknowledge we can work with.

The problem is that every "chick flick" taught this, at least up until I quit going to movies in the theater because I had a baby and a streaming internet. (I call them "chick flicks" to emphasize that they are seen as being written FOR WOMEN. Guy movies teach that women want a guy who will rescue them from armies of telepathic aliens; Women's movies teach men that women want a guy that doesn't ever take "no" for an answer... and is already dating someone!)

This isn't exactly a myth, more a toxic idea pushed in society. Girls were taught to "play hard to get" or he will think your easy. "Don't ask him out, that is the boys job and will make him uninterested in you" or "don't talk about yourself and act interested in every thing her does" and the list goes on. This was taught in schools, homes, TV, movies, music, everywhere, up until the 80s, even 90s, and even know in certain societies,(looking at you IFBLP and Fundies) .unfortunately It takes time to turn such ingrained ideas that gan still be easily found and accepted. At least the majority and the people in main stream society seem to be catching in that we women know what we want and what we like, we know what is important to us, and it is perfectly fine to go after what we want to , weather it is a career, dream, person of interest, and life they want.

While I agree with you 100%, this is not how we teach little boys to become good men. Tell that to the Hallmark & Lifetime movie networks. Tell that to every single form of media that contradicts the message of “no means no.” It’s no wonder they’re confused. As a queer cismale, I can’t speak from personal experience, but I’ve witnessed the example and the verbal lesson of “no” being continually & constantly challenged in all forms of messaging with the contraindication being evident specifically in romcom/sitcom. It corrodes the legitimacy of the lesson into a “she likes to play hard to get” mentality, which is horrible. The OP is correct: we need to teach these lessons in meaningful, lasting ways that aren’t subject to degradation because all of tv/film is telling them otherwise. We need classes of all sorts on setting healthy boundaries and respecting them and on respecting people’s right to say “no” on any sort of engagement. Because not everyone has parents or a living & social situation that sets the example.

Pockets for period products?

I'm surprised clothing companies haven't used pockets as an add-on feature, for an extra charge of course.

Free the Pockets.

Pockets ....pockets everywher!.

EVERYONE NEEDS POCKETS

As many pockets as they damn well need or want...

Shouldn't have used the word period here lol

Ha ha ha no they don’t; they’ll just get into mischief. /s

YES there's too many fake pockets

Stop asking for pockets!!! It don't never get us pockets!!! It got us drafted into war, Roe V Wade got overturned and next it's gonna be taking away our right to vote.

OK, the pockets being sewn closed is a manufacturing decision - just like men's suits have the vents stirched closed. It keeps the clothing looking finished while on hangers in the store. This particular practice is NOT part of the pocket wars against women.

You rock your miniskirt and I'll rock my kilt 😁
