Strange things men do/have/endure with - Things guys put up with women just don’t get

[Core Theorist]

Getting the masculine urge to have a badass alien warmachine you salvaged in your basement which you retrofitted with classic car parts to become combat-capable and using it to fight crime, the same aliens which are invading, and random kaiju attacks with your homies. But not actually being able to do any of these things because alien battle mecha aren't real.

Every day is a chore. I just want to pilot a giant robot and punch godzilla in the face. Being a man fucking sucks.

I'm not certain if this is a masculine thing, but booking a window seat on a flight and spending the entire time looking out the window. Something about seeing the world from that perspective always interests me. My wife insists on getting the window seat whenever we fly and then never looks out of it. It makes me irrationally angry and she doesn't get it.

I've never met a man in my life who shares even 10-30% of my interests

The trick is to have hobbies and then meet other males who also do those hobbies.

I was chatting with my wife's friend and the guy does marital arts like me

For how long have you been practicing marital arts?

If a woman asks you what shade of nail polish she should go with it's a trap to steal your attention and time. Regardless of your input she has made her decision anything you can do but guess the one she has already chosen will lead to a lengthy conversation about nothing.

This just reminded me about all the bullshit I tolerate. Next time things will be different.

The woman are wonderful effect applies to women only, not men.

If you're a young attractive woman everything you do or say, including mannerisms etc, will be appealing to a lot of people and will earn you a lot of positive praise and attention. Even though you basically haven't done anything. Got a new haircut or tried a new dress on? Post it on Facebook and by the end of the day you will have 300 likes and comments telling you how beautiful and amazing you are. Feeling down? just say so and within minutes 200 friends and strangers will be saying " aww I'm here for you honey let's talk xx". Almost everyone (men and women) will automatically be nicer to you because you are a woman.

Do men have this privilege? Hell no. You want positive attention or praise then you need to actually do something to earn it. Feeling down? Then man up, no one gives a fuck.

A lot of women are blind to this fact and privilege and don't seem to understand why male suicide is so high.

ive noticed it gets to be a problem for them too. Men have to face the fact that in order to be loved they have to earn it, often lamenting how its easy for women. in my age Ive come to realize this is their own hell for them too, because reversely women are loved no matter what. often leading to a form of morality crisis, the solution of which usually culminated to "finding oneself" and trying to find "hyper independence" stereotypical move for sure, but given the grander context that women being praised no matter how they act, I couldn't say I wouldn't do the same in their shoes. Another reason why the "father figure" is so important. women MUST have it as a blueprint for what healthy love is. without it they get a very twisted sense of love such as "he loves me because no matter what I do he stays" or "he loves me because he hits me". This difference between men and women I believe is the biggest thing that makes us believe the grass is greener on the other side.

Funnily enough, the wives got us together to see how well we meshed since we both did Marital Arts and follow MMA. I'm a grappler, he's a striker.
Thing is even though we have both trained for several years, and both follow MMA closely, he still had too many normie takes for me. Cool dude, but not gonna be my bud.
Again just lack of common ground besides martial arts.
Marital arts gyms are great to meet people since its more social than a regular gym and there is a lot of positivity between people.

The fact that most of this thread is jokey says something about the topic that I can't really explain.
Being seen as disposable, and not having sexual abuse taken seriously is two things I have observed men deal with. Especially the second one, in a uniquely male way, it being assumed since you're a man that you're always horny so nothing is sexual abuse, if you were molested by a women as a child you were "lucky", etc
I wish guys felt more able to talk about their feelings to women. Its been a struggle to get my husband comfortable enough to admit and talk about things that I'd have no trouble talking about casually over breakfast. But I understand why.

You had your neighbor write out this reply and send it to you in the mail before you re-typed it here, I'm onto you.

Blue balls is an actual ailment; you hurt men when you don't have sex with them. Masturbation doesn't work for that either, you need a woman to help.

 

[souschef]

having a piss and suddenly your pee stream turns into two and now your pants are wet

I was gonna post that, i hate the double piss thing

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Lack of understanding or concern that most male privilege (to use their kind of language) really belongs to a small group of men and most dudes are interchangeable, expendable peons to society at large.

Like they think of men as having it great because they're the CEOs and generals and stuff when those are just the dudes that won, most are factory grunts.

This applies to every aspect of life.

 

[Modern Audience]

i would rather buy shit from bath and body works or lush than from this faggot

This nigga was really using darth vader for his fucking shampoo commercial when the dude probably smells like charred flesh and chemicals.

I hate it when you get your head chewed off and decapitated by your loved one during and after sexual intercourse. Sometimes she will dine on your corpse just to brag, smh.

I experienced severe turbulence on a flight last year. At one point, it felt like the plane dropped 200m. As I looked around, I noticed that quite a few men were shaken - praying, teary eyed etc. but most of the women were fine; just giggling and smiling. It was as if only the men had a grasp on how fragile life and Boeing 747s are.

I'm not shitting on women though. Healthy women have amazing motherly instincts and will go head first into traffic to push their kid to safety.

 

[There Is Light At The End]

That sometimes men need to just sit in silence to gather thoughts.

 

[Nick Gars]

Where do other male users keep their bottle of emotions? I feel like the mental shelf I keep mine on hurts my back.

You can always take it out on Redditors. They aren't people, so you wont feel guilty about it.

 

[CornBogFitz]

oh sometimes when women are crying we hold back absolute ZINGERS that we would say with the boys but dont because if women heard them they would kill themselves

 

[Hitchhiker]

Most women will never have the surreal experience of going on a date with someone and they tell you that they sell feet pictures.

 

[Ravier Xavenblood]

Thinking about hypothetical self defense scenarios all the time.

And having to explain your incredibly male-centric interests to your girl and hoping she'll be ok with it at worst or find it endearing at best.

 

[CornBogFitz]

Guys don’t you hate it when you’re taking a huge dump and you just cum. I hate that! Women will never understand.

I think most women can sense when we're in the mood to throw down and bide their time until we are at ease and unprepared to start shit.
