Re: Never being in a relationship

This is the problem I had the other day, I feel like women are so picky these days even in the face of a housing shortage and a cost of living crisis. It is insane and I feel so defeated.

What??? Only 30? @TheRenegade345 Forgive me if that feels invalidating... You've got a lifetime ahead!

 

Geezzz. considering how much you have achieved by 30, that's even more wow! Good on you!

 

ROLL UP! ROLL UP! There's gold here! (jokes).

 

I gtg now, but will catch ya tomorrow.

Re: Never being in a relationship

Since there is 'no support for men' like you, take the lead mate. YOU be the resource for men like you. YOU be the one to advocate and support people like you. 

 

You are the best at understanding what works for you - much better than what I and others can. 

 

Definitely, take the reins! Go for it. Don't wait for Change. BE THE CHANGE. It's in your hands. @TheRenegade345

Believe me I have tried. I tried starting groups last year, I tried doing blog posts, I have tried doing a variety of things. I dont know what to do. Ive asked various organisations and they havent helped either. There are no resources or support structures.

 

Believe me I have left no stone unturned. Based on my experiences recently, people dont want to hear what I have to say.

Re: Never being in a relationship

I have heard other young men of a similar age say similar things

a week ago on a zoom meeting… a man said he was privileged to be a white male….  Was shaking my head trying to communicate that he didn’t have to say that….

But given the many circumstances I see around…. It is not always easy being male … especially if people feel overly guilty for just being who they were born as…

 

I respect that most people have struggles… or pain of some kind

 

take care

I think there is a lack of resources in men’s mental health in today’s society. I feel very alone and like I have no one you gets how I feel. I’m at the shops and everyone around me looks like they are in a relationship.

I have felt like that especially when I go into the city and see what seems to be couples and happy families.

 

Yes, also hearing you about men's mental health these days. Despite there being some groups just for men, there is a lot of generalising that seems discriminatory to me.

 

It should not be a crime just to be male.

 

Everyone has pain and struggles.
