Social What's worst thing about being a man?

[HHJ]

And for the few women in here, what's worst thing about being a woman?

As for being a man, I don't think there is anything that bad.

OF COURSE THERE'S NOTHING BAD

WE'RE THE SHIT!

I don't know if it's the worst, but I hate being associated with other white American dudes. I have a shaved head with a beard and tattoos, and a lot of people assume I'm just a racist Proud Boy or something. I've even had random people ask if I had swastika tattoos or other Nazi shit, which is just insane to ask someone you don't know lol. It's like no, I started going bald at a young age and just decided to embrace it and shave me noggin.

lolololol

sometimes you just look like one with a shaved head

That's why Keith Jardine gets to be thug #2 or Skinhead aryan warrior #5 in the movies.

For me?

Loneliness.

Traveling alone, eating alone, living alone, sounds awesome to me.

Loneliness hits from time to time, but its temporary. It's not my regular state of being. I am def down to do stuff on my own.

Are you gonna act like Christians didn't burn witches ?

Are you comparing Muslims now to Christians from 400 years ago?

Or is there somewhere now that Christians are currently burning "witches?"

Lol, smh.

Lol, smh.

I'm making excuses for both sides in a attempt to be friendly and not diss my own friends. Like a coward and hypocrite. Also trainers and countrymen who are part of the muslim faith and colleagues at work. And my cousins wife.

I shaved my head completely once in my twenties. I definitely noticed people treated me differently.

Had someone call me a skinhead without even talking to them at all. I was the long haired chill guy for decades! Like I want to be bald? lol. Never had people just assume that when I had hair.

I’ll take people blindly assuming though over sporting that Costanza “ring of cling” bs.

Baldness sucks. That and having to carry around a 12 inch penis I guess.

I was looking at the thread where tribaldrumz got laid off....... what an absolute disaster that would be if I got laid off and the rest of the family had to scramble for a while.

the responsibility burden is high as a man, especially with a family.

So much competition in life as a man - sports/games/jobs etc. It feels like if you win you're considered good, and you lose you're forgotten.

I like winning at things, but even when I do I still feel a great deal of empathy to the other person for losing. Almost physical pain, in a way. But saying that, I feel like that's alien concept for a lot of men who take things in life super seriously. And, you know, considering

I don't feel women are raised to have that same competitive drive in life. In sports, anyway.

Getting older and crushing your balls when dirt biking or atv riding whoops.
Trying to impress the women folk. Being blamed for everything and everyone still wants you in charge

 

[EL CORINTHIAN]

Having an attraction to other men but having to hide your homosexuality because you think masculinity means being characters played by Marion Morrison… sorry, John Wayne, in movies.
Then being so angry about your repressed sexuality that you turn to the likes of Jordan Peterson and Benny Johnson to show you how to “be a man.”

Sitting on your balls

The never-ending burden of financial responsibility. I have a good job, make low 6 figures plus my military retirement, but the world makes it seem like it's never enough. My wife and kids don't complain, but our house isn't like the 6-bedroom Victorians on the Hallmark channel. We don't take extravagant vacations. Tuition to the prestigious school is beyond us. Those granite counter-top, DIY channel kitchen and bath remodels are a fantasy. We gave our teen-age daughter a car, but it is much older than what some kids got. Hell, there's even a socio-economic pecking order to the type of pet you have and the type of food you feed it.
Like I said, my family never complains, but the world constantly holds up a standard and says "you've fallen short" which makes me feel lacking. Perhaps the saddest bit is that I can only express this anomalously online to total strangers.

"but the world constantly holds up a standard and says "you've fallen short" which makes me feel lacking."

Yeah but how much of that is just the result of people falling for bullshit marketing, geared around trying to make people buy shiny crap they don't need and take on more debt to make big corporations money?

Sure, you could have the granite counter tops and bathroom renovations you mentioned if you were willing to saddle yourself with a crap load of debt but you're probably too sensible for that.

People playing "keeping up with the Jones's" is just stupid and counter productive anyway.

I don't know about being "a man," but the worst thing about being THEE Man is that in order to be me you have to beat me.
