What’s the worst thing about being a man? I’d guess it’s having hair on every inch of your body. Sometimes I look at men and wonder how painful it would be if they waxed their whole body.
Several answers covered the sad fact that men are often told to express their feelings but are laughed at or dismissed when they do. A man says that the dismissiveness they receive discourages them from opening up.

Multiple men agree that we’re all adults who, deep down, want to go outside and play and have adventures. A man shares that he felt like this until his dad passed on in 2020.
Do you get funny looks when you are around children? A man writes that his next-door neighbor has three kids who love to play when he comes home from work. He goes outside and plays with them.

Men Are Never Actual Parents
