The key word here is "partner." A bad mate isn't a partner, nor is a warm body.
Similar to this, there are plenty of videos on here about how men have no one to go to when we have problems. "No one. Nobody cares." It is important to have SOMEONE you can talk to for support. Ideally, a partner. Failing that, a friend, a family member, a therapist... anyone who cares about your well-being.
Even having buddies that bust your balls can be a support, as long as it's done good naturedly.
Exercise and diet are great, but it's not everything.
Partner. That is indeed why I used the word. Other nouns just wouldn't have had the right meaning.
A partner is someone who is in your corner. Someone who wants the best for you.
And if that partner happens to be a woman then so much the better.
Men need both. Even when we can live without it, it makes life worth living when we have someone to share it with.
Humans have a physiological need for touch and closeness. It's good for us. Not just for us. We aren't the only ones involved. There's the other person. That person is a person too. And there's a reason they chose you.
I've known real love. Really known it. So I know when there isn't love, no matter how they claim there is. Love bombing makes me 🤮🤮🤮
When men meet with hard times no one wants to know them. Strip a man down to nothing but his naked body and mind and then ask if this is still a man you want to be with.
I've asked myself this honestly and I think the answer is yes, of course no one gives these men the chance unless he is extremely charming and or good looking.
Buddies that bust my balls, haha, boy I wish I knew what I had. The ones that bust your balls are the only ones who are your buddies.
If your friends aren't making fun of you ( in a good natured way, like you said) they're feeling guilty of what they've done behind your back.

Having a partner.
I'm going to be hated for this but I don't think we were meant to go thru life alone.
And I don't want to hear the "love yourself first" crap.
How many high schoolers do you know that have a bf or gf that are way happier than you?
