No matter how tough we pretend to be, a lot of us are very emotional.
Even though guys may pretend to be tough a lot of us are very emotional.

We dont like when you make generalizations about our gender, either.
Men dont like being generalized just as much as women.
I see it far too often.

We dont have it easy just because were males.
You cant make that judgment just because some people have done that to you.

We dont have nearly the emotional support web connection that women do.
We dont have your support system when were feeling sad.
Were dudes, and society expects us to be tough or fake it.

It would be nice to receive a compliment every once in a while.
Men do not receive half as manycomplimentsas women.
I have solidly gone a years without a single compliment.
I can count all my compliments on my hands.
So if I dont come off as super confident this may be why.
But it doesnt mean I have no confidence and I doesnt mean Im a bad guy.
Give me a great gal that likes me and I become full if confidence.

We dont like being body-shamed, either.
That saying something about the way you look physically still fucking riles you.
Whoa your arms are so skinny!
God you look so pale!

We dont take hints well, so just TELL US WHATS WRONG.
Guys dont take hints well.
Stop beating around the bush and TELL ME WHATS WRONG.

We wish you would make the first move sometimes.

A nice gesture doesnt mean were trying to fuck you.
Im not holding the door for you because I have remotely any interest in you.
Im holding the door for you because I hate it when people let the door swing in -my- face.

When we say were thinking about nothing, thats exactly what were thinking about.
That wanting to be left alone is not a personal slight.
using only items from the kitchen and things Ive learned from Bruce Willis films.

We can be just as good as you when it comes to raising kids.
Men are just as efficient at raising children….. (this is her 1st child).

We can be insecure, too.
We can have feelings.
We can want to be desired.
We may not feel like having sex on a moments notice and it has nothing to do with you.
We can be insecure, too.

If we say nothings bothering us, you gotta quit asking whats bothering us.
Dont keep questioning me about it; Im not trying to be difficult.

We need alone time, and it has nothing to do with you.
Spending every waking moment around someone is not romantic.
Its obsessive and a great way to turn love into loathing.
Thats on you so figure it out.

You shouldnt get upset when we seek a solution to your problem.
Men are problem-solvers by design.
But dont get upset at me for trying to solve the problem.
Just let us fixthe nail.

You dont need to be so cruel when rejecting us.
Its very encouraging, and flattering, and arousing when she makes the first move or initiates sex.
Guys get rejected all the time.
We get rejected by women to whom we are attracted.
We getpreemptivelyrejected by women we are attracted to.
There is no male equivalent for all this sort of treatment.
Even in a relationship, there is little guarantee that our advances will be reliably accepted.

We hurt, too.
We want to be told nice things, too.
We hurt, too.
We want to be told nice things, too.
We want to feel like we matter, for no reason at all.
Unfortunately a lot of us are conditioned in certain, unhealthy ways that make it hard.
You cant ask for these things because then if you get them, theyre not genuine.
Youd be manipulative if you asked.
Im sure they didnt start out this way.
The last time someone who wasnt a relative complimented me was four years ago.
Before that was in 2002.
Ive been surprised by someone twice in my life.
I was once moved to tears over a cookie because it showed the person was thinking of me.
This isnt a girl exclusive thing either.
