this is how men are now a days. Women and society have told them it is ok to have emotions, and that's true. But they've made it so emotions are the governing force. FEELINGS LIE. They arent facts. Emotions get in the way of what men are really valued for.. LOGIC. FUCK.
I think you spend too much time on this forum if you think thats how modern men are.
By the way, this is a Sexuality & Relationship forum... are you the least bit surprised that many of the threads are emotional, not logical?

You're being obtuse as fuck. Go whine and fail and tell yourself you're great because you don't smack women. Or stop equating rap music videos to being a man.
A real man opens the door for his woman, and she likes it not because she can't do it herself, but because the man is acknowledging that she is something exquisite, worthy of being treasured.
A real man doesn't tell his wife he lost his job until he's found another one, leaving the house as early or earlier than he did when he had a job and looking all day every day until he finds one (about three days in a bad economy). Not because he wants to lie to her but because he doesn't want her to worry, and "Honey I got fired last week, but I start a new job Monday" is a lot better than "I got fired today I don't know what we're gonna do, we may have to sell the pink Prius".
Real men are more concerned about whether they've taken care of their responsibilities than whether or not it is "fair".
If my kids have my headstone engraved:
Here lies Srirachi, Loving Husband and Dedicated Father
I will consider my life to have been more successful than I dared to dream in my wildest of dreams. Who cares if it was "fair".

bloodsheen said: So heres my real problem with your attitude about this whole thing sprinkles. The reality is, men who think they "shit gold bricks" are fucking assholes. You just can't have one without the other in 99% of cases. High confidence and low emotion combined equals asshole.
Basically you are just bitching about life being unfair. Yea, it sucks that most girls who are really, really pretty are either obnoxious bitches, really dumb, or both. You try growing up having everyone fawn over you, tell you how are great and beautiful you are, and somehow turn out a deep, respectful, well-rounded human being. It just doesn't happen most of the time.
When you say you want a "real man" or whatever, you don't actually mean that. A "real man" tells his wife/gf to shut her cunt yap when hes with his friends. A "real man" does whatever he wants, regardless of the opinions and feelings of his wife/gf.
And if you'd be willing to put up with that, go find some smart guy who grew up in the south. I'm sure they're not in short supply
Edit: I'm aware that most men would consider you quite ideal physically and its likely you had men complimenting you your whole life. I meant it more in the general sense, most women don't turn out that way
I love assholes. They just cant be an asshole to waitresses or innocent people that dont have it coming. I dont think any man would have the want or need to hit me. I know how to shut up. Women who get hit, usually dont. I think a lot of women do it on purpose. they anticipate and know how a man is going to react to an arguement. Then proceed to yell and scream in their face while not letting them leave. Then never shutting up. Women are crazy. and fucking stupid.
The biggest reason why no man would hit me would be because he loves me and wouldnt dream of doing that. Also because it wouldnt be worth it. I'd fuck him up mentally and emotionally. If he pissed me off bad enough I'd fuck him up the second he was vulnerable, or have someone else do it. I'd probably just leave.
Any male who hits me is fucked. Ask my ex. They'd be better off just killing themselves honestly. Cause they are going to want to when its over anyways.

A lot of men are acting like little teenage girls nowadays, I've seen it too. Women aren't any better, though.
Personally I blame the television, especially reality TV. I see how teenagers react to that shit, they internalize it, like it's real or something. We've got a whole new generation, people, and they're narcisistic as hell! The camera's are always on them, they are always the reasonable one doing the interview, or whatever, and when they're sad, that same obnoxious "sad" melody that every TV programme uses nowadays plays in their head.
I don't know if that's really the case, but.. I don't think it is helping. We men, we need a good role model growing up. But a lot of fathers from people my age aren't like that at all, they don't teach their kids even basic things, like shaving or fixing small apliances!
Fathers that spend barely any time with their sons, instead opting to buy their love with expensive toys. so you turn on the TV, and the rolemodels you see there are even worse. Have you guys ever watched any form of reality TV? it is fucking atrocious! Everybody is always as much of a bitch as possible, and I swear the men in those shows sound girlier then the women do!
So, no rolemodels at home, no rolemodels on TV, and certainly no rolemodels at school, because the elementary schools have turned into all girl scools which begrudgingly allows boys! Shit you can't even play tag anymore, you know? In my time we played a game called "death-kicker". What you did was, when you kicked a ball trough somebody's legs, everybody could kick the crap out of that guy until he reached the safe spot. That was fun, until it got banned eve though nobody ever got seriously hurt!
It's society, man. Boys aren't allowed anymore, and real men are seen as old fashioned by the trendy bitches. Look at TV! Look at the magazines! Our culture is utterly fucked on so many levels, and that is why I think there are so few men around anymore.
EDIT: Maybe it's that "forever young" shit that people buy into. I see men and women in their 40's dress like they're 16 year olds, I mean god damn it man, have some dignity in aging!

Nothing wrong with dressing the way you want =P
Maybe I don't want to look like old people.
But other than that, it makes sense.
I'm glad I don't have a TV or I could have been sucked in, too :V

I have a TV and choose not to watch stupid bullshit shows on it. Parents can do that for their kids. Teenagers can do that, too. They're just in a weird place where they want to be individuals, but not too much so that they don't end up friendless. They're going to do what their friends are doing. There are definitely idiot kids, but there are also some really smart ones who aren't afraid to think for themselves. Bottom line is that TV shows reflect the society that produces them, so if we're going to blame someone for the way society is, the only sensible option is to blame ourselves.

if i don't consider myself part of society does that mean i'm exonerated? :v
seriously though, maybe you are right
maybe this is some fad and kids trying to rebel by being like everyone else
you know, to express their individuality
see, i thought like this back in junior high and high school as well
i was never one of the "trendy" kids and had no desire to be
still, a bunch of people looked up to me probably because i said and did what i want
also, being friends with all the drug addicts in a public school in Worcester, MA didn't hurt

you are right, thats why I say feminism ruined this country.
you have boys being raised by single women. they have no role models. They're defective unless they have the desire to seek help or teach themselves skills and things dudes know.
I'd limit my kids screen time to one hour a day. Go play outside in the rain and break a leg or something. Haha that reminds me, sometimes my folks would have to yell for me at the top of their lungs. I'd be floating a mile off the shore with no life jacket at rough high tides. You dont get the hypothermias when you're a kid. Now my toe hits the water and my body temp drops 20 degrees. I almost died when I flipped an inner tube while floating down a river in arlington. I froze for hours and by the time I floated to where my car was I couldnt think or walk.

They can, but they don't. That's a critical difference. I'm not saying TV is the root of all evil, but I also don't think you should underestimate the power media holds over people's imagination, especially young people's imagination. If they get bombarded with the same shit again and again, they'll think that THAT is normal, instead of the height of grotesque decadence as reality TV often is.
And I am also wondering about the influence of videogames on people. I mean, they make you feel like a badass, what if you internalise that badassery, making you subconciously believe yourself to be a badass, while all you did was sit on your ass playing a game? This would go a long way to explain young people on hiking trips: all talk and bravado until it starts to get tough. Maybe they only did cool stuff in videogames instead of in real life like we used to do when we where kids?
Look, I'm just thinking out loud here, I do not have any answers. Neither does anybody else in this thread, for that matter. What happens is we see a cultural phenomenom, and we all try to figure out why it is happening. It is probably a combination of a lot of things, but I will stress that we should not discount the influence of the media, when it comes to these things.

its has been proven boys who spend 3hrs a day or more playing video games have poor self control and emotional control.
and they're more likely to be obese. I am making that up but im sure its atleast somewhat accurate. Americans are just lazy fucks. We dont want to fucking move or do nothing unless we have to.

I'd be interested in reading about the correlation between video games and poor impulse control if you have a link. Was there a variation between different types of video games?
@Turtletotem, I wonder if part of that bravado and thinking they could do better outdoors than they can has to do with an increasing number of young people growing up in the city where the opportunities for hiking, camping, etc. are somewhat limited. I had the good fortune of growing up in the country, so for all the time I spent playing video games, I also spent quite a bit of time roaming our land, climbing things and moving big rocks for no reason. We lived right next to train tracks as well; I had a solid sense of balance when I was a kid.
Were I a parent, I would make an effort to kick my kids out of the house for the same number of hours that they spent in front of a screen. Oh you wanna play four hours of Fallout? That's cool; now you get to go outside and pretend raiders are real for four hours. That way I can spend four hours playing Fallout. Now, who's to say I won't be charged with parental negligence for that? I guess that's an argument for living in a small town instead of a big city.

It's called getting your ass beat :V
It is a ritual in our society meant to keep people like this in check before their head explodes.

This kind of thinking can be extrapolated to so many scenarios though
What did the adults of the 30's, 40's and 50's think of all the young generation of the 60's and onwards, getting lost and obsessed in music? "Plugged" into their stereos and vinyl records and 8 track tapes? It became an obsession. Music can carry similar influence as video games, which explains the explosion of hippies and Woodstock and shite
I think all this shit is trivial by products of the real problem. I blame radical feminism of not only the pussification of men but the world in general
But if we had a time machine and were able to go back in time to one single point in history to stop this unhealthy dynamic many of us in this thread recognize, where and what would it be?
Obviously something fueled the radical feminism that caused this pussification
Could it be traced back to a single male or female or event?
It's so complex
Can it be a combination of that and the horrid shit in our diets and environments that fucks with our brain chemistry and hormones?
And now we pass these shit traits on genetically (see epigenetics).
Genetically, I was doomed to be a giant, emotional pussy
One can rise against their genetics only so far
I think that's why there is so much inner turbulence inside myself. Deep Inside is a caged, wild silver back gorilla and my cage is made of a mix of one part genetic shortcomings, one part perverted cultural conditioning and one part environmental toxicity
I'm all sorts of fifty shades of fucked up

I'm thoroughly enjoying watching people ask Sprinkles for a cite on the fact THAT SHE ADMITTED IN THE NEXT LINE WAS MADE UP.

It's especially amusing considering the topic of this thread. Attention span, ftw.
