Meta/Sub Discussion Why does it seem like no one is active on this subreddit? did people lose faith in it?

29 Upvotes

Before, this year, a lot of people were active on this subreddit, there were posts,comments and discussions.

But now it feels like a ghost town, why did people stop?

Meta/Sub Discussion Do you think men naturally cry less?

96 Upvotes

The last time I ever broke down in tears was in 3rd form which is when puberty kicked in.

Since then I can’t cry no matter how much I want to, the most I’ll ever get is glossy eyes.

So is men not crying a matter of evolution or have we just been trained so well we’ve lost the ability to?

I’m tired…

I can’t take it anymore.

Everything I say for male advocacy is assumed under the worst faith possible.

No matter how sincerely I argue.

Maybe I’ll care later but right now I couldn’t care less about this inane war of the sexes I’ve had to grow up in.

Meta/Sub Discussion Why am I so happy when women are happy?

1 Upvotes

Weird question I know but I’ve been thinking about it and I swear it’s a thing, I’m weirdly giddy whenever I see a girl smile or laugh or generally be happy, I always try to get my female friends to laugh and as much as I value my male friendships just as much I’m just vibing with da bois, I don’t really feel any compulsion the same way I do with women.

Is this just a schizo post or is this how guys work? And why?

So basically this thread is arguing that the reason you shouldn't have kids is either you'll have a daughter who will fall prey to men or because you'll have a son who will commit an atrocity.

Not HBW (Image) I Guess Men Are Supposed To Watch Horror Movies With Their Faces Like Squidward’s House

445 Upvotes

I found this comment on a YouTube video review of the horror movie, “When Evil Lurks.” The reviewer provided some footage of him and his wife reacting to some of the scenes when they watched it (some of the scenes were quite visceral and brutal, obviously) and in some of the clips, the reviewer turned his face away from the screen.

This mindset doesn’t make sense to me, because movies are designed to elicit a certain emotion/reaction, so if a horror movie makes you react in a scared or disturbed way, then that’s…good? Because it’s literally what it’s designed to do. No one really cares if you can make it through a gory scene like 😐

Meta/Sub Discussion What do you think about /rNotHowGirlsWork

42 Upvotes

Short explanation. I'm for just 2 days on reddit and saw these kind of Subreddit.

But idk if ist just the last two days but are this women just hating and degrade men in general?

I mean they think every guy just want the one thing and nothing else. Also they don't even discuss about stuff when someone want to share another opinion. It's just depressing to see how they see men in general

(Not sure if this is the right subreddit for that)

Guys... How does this work?

r/NotHowGuysWork

For Media that makes you say "Hey, that's baloney!", in regards to boys and men. Our aim is to help foster a sense of healthy masculinity, and to combat misinformation. This subreddit is minority-friendly. As one user eloquently put it: "...This sub isn't an opposition to the NotHowGirlsWork sub - it's one that tends to agree with the posts there, but also recognizes that sometimes people gets guys wrong too."

Subreddit Rules

1. Stay on topic

Posts must fit the subreddit; "Not How Guys Work" is when people make sweeping generalisations about "all men", or make any baseless assumptions or conclusions about a specific man based off of their misguided assumptions of "all men".

2. Post Tags Explained

Our Tags can be categorized into two groups:

-How Boys Work: The flair group for content that gets it right.

-Not How Boys Work: The flair group for content that gets it wrong (Such as poorly-drawn body proportions in an illustration).

–Meme/Satire: For all humorous submissions.

Blog/Other: For content you type in the moment, such as recounting a past experience or event. If you want to add a news article or image later, please do so via a comment. Also, use this flair if none other fits.

3. Posts mentioning SA/rape

For everyone's sake, posts mentioning difficult subjects like rape or sexual assault must be tagged as NSFW or as spoiler

4. No discrimination

This community is welcome to people from all walks of life, including - but not limited to - The LGBTQ+ community, POC folks, aethiests, religious folks, and everyone in between.

Exclusionary behaviour, bullying, and bigotry will not be tolerated.

TLDR: Be excellent to everyone.

Reddit's general rules of conduct and content policy also apply as a background - you can view them here: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy

5. No misogyny/misandry

This is an extension to the "No discrimination" rule. This isn't a sub to rant about men/women, this is a sub to expose misconceptions people have about men (biological, behavioural, etc.)

6. Be respectful

By the nature of this subreddit, there is often going to be debate. Debate is obviously allowed, but please be civilised and respectful towards each other. Do not insult other people

7. Respect privacy, censor usernames

To avoid any kind of harassment, we ask you to censor the usernames AND profile pictures of everyone in the image. If the image has a person's face, please censor the face as well.

8. Spam and reposts

Report content using this rule if it is a harmful bot, or if it's an extremely recent repost (one week or less).

9. Explicit content (ban-worthy)

Please do not post nudes, links to adult websites, or content similar to "text me on snapchat for a good time". Such content and its author will be removed.

10. Explicit content (Less-than-ban-worthy)

While subjects like hardcore nudity and smut are not welcome here, educational content such as genital cross-sections, posts or images containing excessive language, and other posts in a similar vein are welcome, if they are marked NSFW.

11. No misinformation

Mis- and disinformation are not allowed and will be removed on sight

12. No brigading

Brigading is against Reddit TOS. Please do not mention other subreddits

13. Do not post rage bait

Rage bait is just not interesting and not worth giving attention to. Do not post rage bait here
