They don't realise that there is nothing more awkward and annoying for men then forced talk about feelings.
Recently I watched this video by that pajeet gamer psychologist guy, who I don't put a lot of stock onto, but he talked about how therapy sessions tend not to work that well for men because psychologist base the way they work on women-oriented therapy. Essentially, talking about feelings,
how does that make you feel, etc. While men are more oriented to action, so they don't feel comfortable thinking and communicating
what they feel, preferring instead to focus on
what to do. Even when they talk about feelings, they express things in terms of action and physicality,
it felt like a punch on the gut, it's like she ripped out my heart and kicked me in the balls, etc.
He still puts it to the way men are socialized, not quite saying it's the wrong way to be, but still talking from the standpoint of female socialization being the default.
Men just
are that way. Surely socialization plays a role but there's very
intrinsic caveman wiring that leads to men being action oriented (
the problem is over there, let's go punch it or
we can't do this thing, let's build something to do the thing), while women's caveman (uh, cavewoman?) wiring is about social status and achieving group cohesion and stability. So we still are cavepeople as far as our neurology and biology is concerned, men navigate the material, and women navigate feelings.
That's also why women go to men to talk about a problem, and men try to fix the problem, and the women get mad.
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE NAIL!
Again, most pooners will never get it.
The fuck is all this male bonding TMI chit chat in this thread? Sometimes this forum takes traditional gender differences to weird places.
I’m a woman, and my best friend and I regularly slapped the shit out of each other in a friendly way and called one another fat fucks. There was no mean girl escalation and we didn’t go weeping into the bathroom.
The freaks featured in this thread have no conception of normal human relationships, they’re not great examples of how women or men communicate within their sex.
Maybe you're a man, ever think about that? Go to Dr Teatus Deletus immediately and get yourself sized for a rotdog.
Jokes aside, there's always outliers, but you can observe trends and some things are just very, very rooted in biological gender roles, some of which are even consistent with other primates.
