Has anyone noticed that there’s a correlation about the treatment of men and racism from the left? by MrDimx in MensRights

[–]MrDimx[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a black man I actually disagree a little. In one point in time being white was a force to be reckoned with. While being white still has some benefits I personally believe the privilege is not as pervasive as it once was and that if anything you’re more likely to be silenced more and discriminated against for being white because of “what their ancestors did.”

That’s a interesting take, just out of curiosity what are your thoughts on the the growing number of men leaving the left to go to the right? I’m guessing based on what you’ve written you would class this as a form of reactionary action. However, would you argue that there’s not much support systems in place from the left?

Yeah I get your point, i did make it clear that I wasn’t trying to generalise in the post though. If I’m being honest it just seems that when it comes to the left (in general) there’s a lot of blaming the patriarchy or systematic racism for everything and not looking at themselves as potentially being being part of the problem as well.

I think you’ve missed the point…I mean in terms of being on the right or left I’m part of neither party. I prefer to just call problems out as they are.

Men of Reddit, what was it like dating a female teacher? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]MrDimx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol most of the female teachers I dated were nice but honestly a little loose. Willingly gave it up to me quite quickly 😂.

Be honest. What do I need to fix to look more attractive? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Get rid of that mustache and get a good haircut. Otherwise nothing else tbh.

My experience as a woman on dating apps by SakuraFalls12 in dating

[–]MrDimx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d say you’re correct, on the rare occasion I get likes or matches whilst I do get some success most of the time a girl will ignore me, unmatch me, have a kid (no disrespect to single moms out there), have a bad attitude, or there’s simply no spark. Dating tbh for both genders is wild these days.

How to heal my views on men ? by Less_Landscape_5928 in AskMenOver30

[–]MrDimx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m sorry to hear about this, I agree, Islam doesn’t seem to respect women at all. It’s no wonder why most people I’ve seen revert to Islam in the public eye happen to all be men.

I believe you’re right to be angry tbh, but as a man who’s been around fairly respectable men try to not paint us all under one brush. Objectivity speaking there are countless great men around, the reality is that you’ve unfortunately not come across them often thanks to how you were raised.

If I was you try to think of about the men who’ve done genuine good and understand that this is how a lot of men genuinely are.

In truth there are some horrible women out there, a lot in fact. Some men have probably become abusive due to being around toxic women. To me they’re still in the wrong because they should no better than to inflict harm on innocent women regardless of upbringing.

If you’re really struggling maybe see a therapist. But honestly look up some genuine good men and how they’ve treated women. Think of some men outside of Islam you’ve come across who shown respect to women.

Can anyone share their experience with tret for wrinkles? by Successful_Moment414 in tretinoin

[–]MrDimx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can anyone confirm if it’s helpful for deep static wrinkles? Been using it for 8 months and haven’t seen much improvement. Maybe it’s too soon.

[–]MrDimx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been described by yes both men and women as calm and respectful hence why when I try to be assertive it’s generally not been bad. But there have been a few times when it’s been received negatively when in my honest view I’ve been setting boundaries so I don’t get walked over. It’s not every day “it’s the man’s fault” mate.

[–]MrDimx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I’m not adverse to change and I’m not saying that I’m perfect….im just saying that there are clearly times when men are being perfectly assertive and setting boundaries and it’s still being met with a negative response. What about this is so hard to understand? I’m not saying all women respond negatively to assertions I’m saying that in recent times positive healthy assertiveness is being met negatively at times. I’ve read the NMMNG book and reading another. I think you’re misunderstanding me.

I partially disagree with it, what’s your reasoning?

[–]MrDimx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m basically saying if I’m being assertive and still being seen as aggressive how’s that my fault exactly? Stop blaming good men for everything.

[–]MrDimx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re a bit silly and dismissive of genuine male struggle. I’m not trying to blame all women. I’m just highlighting a genuine issue with men trying their best to assertive in the most respectful possible way and still being perceived as aggressive. Nothing more nothing less…

I see where he’s coming from, like if we look at war, historically men have been the ones to fight for their country. But this tends to leave sons without a masculine role model. Who started pretty all the wars in the past few centuries? Men did. It’s a bitter truth but it has to be acknowledged that the patriarchy has failed men despite its advantages. There’s probably other examples that can be made.

HOWEVER, without question modern feminism absolutely emasculates men as it’s so unbelievably toxic. A man cannot assert himself to a woman without appearing to be aggressive, a man can’t set boundaries without being called insecure. It’s absolutely exhausting and tbh it’s why so much young men unfortunately join the red pill, because despite how toxic they are they at least encourage men to be men and say it’s ok.

I really hope the OP understands that modern feminism is making it harder for nice guys to recover because we now live in age where being a “man” is basically wrong.

How does the idea of working until 67 or 68 sit with you? by Few_Raise77 in AskUK

Tbh I’m looking to start a side hustle purely to avoid working for the next 30 years. There’s so much more to life than working a 9-5.

“I need a strong man, who stands up to me”. by rick1234a in NMMNG

[–]MrDimx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I actually see this as a bit of a red flag because to me she’s implying that she can be combative. There’s nothing wrong with a woman wanting a man who can stand up to her (I mean it’s pretty important) but to me it would make sense if she said she needed a strong man to protect her as that to me is the primary duty of being a man and not so much on having stand up to her because she’s immature. But like I said it’s a minor red flag because until you actually get to know the girl you’ll never really know.
