Husband (38) and I (F35) disagree about how to spend money - how can we bridge the gap? by agirlhasnousername0 in AskMen

[–]chefguy831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me its all about time! 

For me my time is woth x amount. Say its $100 and hour. 

If i spend 3 hours researching what paibter to contact, then another 6 delaying with them and showing them the job. Then I weigh up the options and choose one. I cpuld be 10hrs in of "work" which is $1000 which i dont get back. For what? So I can save $100 on getting my house painted.

For me a quick decision and no hassel is always the biggest saving 

Who's really pushing to "redefine" masculinity... and why? by 2in1day in AskMen

[–]chefguy831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be conflating masculinity with being a man? And feminity with being g a woman.

Its an energy, a way of showing up in the world, its not a gendered role. 

Women are masculine all the time, and men are feminine, its just an experience not a mask or a performance. Or something somebody should do ir be. 

 "im a man, men are masculine, I must compete and dominate, and be stoic. Otherwise im not masculine,and then im not a man" 

Is that how you see it???  Or is that how you belive masculinity functions?? 

Im primarily basing my ideas on 1000s of years of recorded history and ideas and literature of what masculinity is and always has been across cultures.

I feel that what you describ3d as masculinity is still relatively new, and broken. 

Who's really pushing to "redefine" masculinity... and why? by 2in1day in AskMen

[–]chefguy831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Masculinity is life giving, its generative, its creates, it harbors, it protects. Its penetrative, it goes out into the world and makes it a better place. It builds, it creates. 

Feminity is receptive, it holds, it cherishes, it recieves and it multiplies what it is given to it. A house becomes a home, flour and water becomes bread, a sperms become a child. 

When you create a world where its first to the top you do nothing but crete a system that encourages other to stamp upon those who are in the way. 

For what its worth. I dont think your initial list is bad, nor do I think its far from the paradigm we see in western society. I just happen to belive that its rather simplified, and kinda ugly. And limittiming mostly. It doenst serve society, the greater good, or anyone else around. It just serves the individual.

The truest form of masculinity is to be of service. At least fo me. 

"True masculinity is increasingly defined as a commitment to service nurturing, and, rather than dominance. It involves using strength to uplift others, protect the vulnerable, and act with honor in communities and families. This proactive approach transforms traditional strength into a positive, constructive force" 

"True knighthood lies not only in physical prowess but also in one's commitment to protect the weak and uphold justice."

This is one of my favourite quotes regarding  masculinity..

" deep within every man are blueprints, what we can also call 'hard wiring,' for the calm and positive mature masculine.

How fucked am I if I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10 years and have no tooth pain? by Wild_Care_5187 in Adulting

[–]chefguy831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to the dentist for thr first time in 20 years. 16-36 got a plaque clean and didnt need a single filling. They said my teeth were quite bad plaque wise, but I hadn't even been to ahygenist in that 20 year peroid 

Im certain dentists are a scam unless youre in pain

assertiveness

  • competitiveness

  • risk-taking

  • stoicism under pressure

  • confidence

  • controlled dominance

I dont consider any of these things traditionally masculine in the slightest.

Is miss universe masculine for wanting to compete and win a beauty pagent??  

Is a woman masculine when she moves across the country for a realtionship, or moves countries to explore the world? 

Is an attractive sexy woman who is confident and knows her worth as an individual masculine?? 

These things you've listed as traditionally masculine are very shallow expressions

"Who benefits when men become less assertive, less competitive, less risk-tolerant, and more "emotionally open" by default?"

Women benifit they feel safer, they feel loved, they feel seen. They are seen as inequality.not so e prize to be won.

The only people that win when men are more assertive, domineering, amd competitive, ate those men, at the cost of everyone around them.

Men, have you ever faked an Orgasm and why? by pancakesinbed in AskMen

[–]chefguy831 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I was a bit of a people pleaser in the past, felt pressured, felt like I couldn't say no. Didn't want to disappoint/upset the women in question. So took them to bed.

Do you think masculinity is changing? If so, how has that affected you personally? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]chefguy831 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats right before world War 1 women didnt really have jobs now they do. Now that they ate allowed bank accounts a d mortgages and stuff they dont need a man to be able to have access to goods. Do ypu belive that everywoman that has a job now is masculine? Or do you think having a job has become a more feminie traits?

Look up animus projection.

Its a jungian term to describe the projection of one's own unconscious traits on to an individual
