It seems within the last 5 years a lot has changed for men, from dating, to food, to personal care products.

It's been said that suicide is the #1 killer of men, but yet not taken seriously.

A few things to consider;

1. It seems that men are hit with divorce / break ups harder, have you noticed more women cheating? More women all of a sudden becoming lesbians?

2. Notice how men have to PAY for Tinder now just to break the top 20% and you're lucky if you get any swipes.

3. Notice how plant based food is taking over and meat is now getting a bad rep -- more men aren't eating steaks, hamburgers because society deemed it cruel.

4. Remember all the "Just for Men" products or the products catered to men? They're fortified for men because of the different body types and hormones they have, yet society said "OH LOL Men are so insensitive! They need their own deodorant!"

5. Less action stars now in the movies, used to have Arnold, Stallone -- they've replaced the alpha with beta's in soy boy based movies that the guy doesn't get the girl.

6. Household products that featured strong men now being switched out for gender neutral spokespersons.

7. Notice how it's nearly impossible to get your hands on testosterone (legally) because you need a RX... women can get estrogen supps nearly free

All these things are leading to the destruction of manly men as we know it, or at least discouraging men from actually becoming real men.

-no pussey
-no money
-no friends

if a man doesn't have at least one of these he'll become depressed

If suicide has a heightened likelihood among men... And men are becoming less manly as 3-6 implies

Wouldn't suicide be going down?

I think its because less men are getting into the trades

Use sig if needed

Suicide hasalwaysbeen higher amongst males.
Successful suicide anyway.
We're just better at it.

Heart disease is the #1 killer, not even close. Put down the twinkies America.

Sexual revolution

women have life on easy mode. Men sink or swim and even when they swim they can lose it all in an instant.

Got a source on where those stats are from?

I'm off to bed, so I'll just say...

Male suicide rate around the world has always been disproportionately higher than women. I would guess there has been an increase recently due to socio-economic status being important for male positive self-image, and romantic life.


1) Employment/Economic issues hit men far harder than women it seems. Socio-economic status seems to play a far, far bigger role for men for being treated with respect from men and women, and also plays a significant role in dating.

2) Men are more likely to socially isolate themselves when feeling despair, loneliness or depression. A lot of men are ashamed to have those experiences, and will try to hide it from others through fear of being humiliated, abused, or ignored if they express that they are struggling. Friendships/close relationships are really, really important for long term happiness.

3) Men generally are not taught how to cope with mental health problems other than through 'productivity'.

A lot of men's solution is 'keep busy/make money/lift', which doesn't address the underlying trauma/emotional pain. The hope seems to be that better circumstances will hopeful emerge from productivity/making money/lift, that will offset the pain... But if it doesn't, the guy has just basically delayed the despair/pain that they were feeling, and may even feel that they've 'tried everything'.

4) Men receive significantly less empathy and compassion. If your expressed suffering is due to being a member of minority group (e.g. an experience of racism from whites, abuse due to being gay, etc) then people tend to empathize, but if you expressed just general difficulty coping with life or emotional issues, IME there is little empathy or compassion.

If any men are coping with feelings of despair, please ring a mental health helpline.

I also advise picking up this book, and using the advice in the book on how to spend 20 minutes a day writing or talking into a recorder to help process emotions...
