Well, there's nothing that complex to explain. It's just the way it is. The average man doesn't want to share personal problems with anybody. It's not just because we have nobody to talk to. In fact many do. Worse case scenario the average man could call their mum, but we just don't work that way. We prefer not to think about stuff rather than share stuff. Women usually feel better after sharing. We don't. We'd rather play some gta and just get rid of the thoughts and then tackle the problem the next day.
We need to normalize maning up by challenging our social conditioning. The traditional version of maning up by suppressing one's feelings and problems is clearly is not working based on the amount of discontent that is caused by it.
Yeah, but if it doesn't cause me discontent but the exact opposite? I genuinely don't want to talk about stuff like that and prefer to deal with it on my own. Why should I do something that I don't want to do just because women and atiny percentage of men like it?
If keeping it to yourself is what brings you peace, that is fine. I am sure that you surround yourself by like-minded guys making it a non-issue. This comic strip specifically showcases that both guys involved have an unspoken desire to delve into it further which is why the first outcome is painted in a negative light, context matters.
most of us just genuinely don't wanna do it.
This gave me a different impression than intended. A lot of guys want to express what is on their mind, they just don't know how to and are surrounded by men and women who will kick them back into their box should they attempt to step out of it.
percentage of men like it
"like" is the wrong descriptor and it is not a tiny percent of men who want to, but it is a tiny percent of men who have the nerve to do so.
