Is it appropriate for a Man to Vent?

Well, no one wants to see a (real) man whining and complaining about is victim-induced problems. Now, keeping things bottled up is not a good show of force either. As someone trained in therapy practices, I suggest you find productive ways to acknowledge your problems and work on resolving them. Simply complaining will not do anyone any good.

yes. because that is how men become silent and resentful. they should be heard. That is what causes heart attacks.

Yes expectations on men like not showing emotions and always being strong and "providers" are stupid and only lead to depression, suicide, domestic violence or shootings.

Be you and be human. Don't buy into this crappy definition of what it means to be a man. Masculinity is a term every man has to define for himself.

Haha 🙃



People judge and say what others can and cannot frigging do. People should judge themself before saying things to and about other people..



Look guys should be able to vent, cry and other things if they want to especially if they are annoyed, angry and upset..that kinda thing and nothing wrong with that just like men and women should be able to swear if they want to haha :P



Also sometimes venting, crying and things like that help you feel better when you have done that.




Sorry to hear that you are feeling that way. Hope u are feeling better now. So yes men are allowed to fucking vent haha

You can vent of course. But make sure you're just letting off steam once in a while, and not constantly spewing toxic emotions out onto your loved ones. That gets old fast.

I only do it on SW or places where I am probably never going to see those people again. Also to therapists I do this. At work or for friends I keep it in.

There is a japanese saying that there are three faces: the face you show everyone, the face you show to people you are close to, and the face you dont show anyone.

I agree with this.

out of 39 years of my life, i start venting here just past few months. i noticed no one give a shit about it. they all here for their entertainment ( which is understandable though )

Anyone should have the right to vent.

My plan for world donination is that:
Guys should only be emotionally supported by other guys
Transpeople should only be emotionally supported by other transpeople.
Women should only be supported by other women.

Share it among yourselves Im sure you will get the support you need ROTFL

Allowed? How are you going to stop him?
Everyone should have the right to complain and vent but the same way should everyone have the right to cut them at the point they just start to spread aggression and negative energy instead of trying to find reasonable solutions.

Anytime I’ve done it in the past I’m met with this “you’re whiny” or “suck it up attitude” even though I never do because I understand what the expectations of a Man are.

We're men. We don't vent!

Why not we different than a lady. We have hard days. We just have thicker skin Mohit more in but good to vent.

Men can do it but indifference of others would make it worse.

So it's best to do it anonymously over online.

It is absolutely appropriate and keeping things bottled up is a massive problem.

I am okay with that. They can vent as long they vent it properly. Because men can be physical sometimes. Engaging fight or harming. No no no no. Not to living things.

You can smash tvs or couch just not on people. I've seen men raging and almost got hit or fight when they got mad which I have no clue what they mad about.

And of couse don't bottle up your feelings.

I vent all the time.

Isn't it obligatory ?

Here's my experience as a husband (now divorced). When I was wrong, I was the bad guy until I apologized or conceded or somehow atoned for my wrongness. When my WIFE was wrong, I was the bad guy for bringing it up and pointing it out to her.

Yes! Please!

For me, venting is online. But even then it's not about personal issues. In real life I try hard not to because that means bringing someone else in to my shit. I can handle it on my own and don't need to lay my stuff on someone else.

{@wanderer1991] perhaps keeping it bottled is not always the right thiong as the stress of somethings maty cause mental health issues instead of being open about things

IT’s healthy to do so. Just got to find the right people to talk to. People who will truly listen not just wait for their turn to talk.

It’s getting harder to find but they are still out here

Really don't recommend bottling things up. It isn't healthy and when you vent it doesn't go as planned. Finding ways to manage stress is good

I would love to but always feel too self conscious to do so, even here. One sudden, massive heart attack coming up, just like my dad.

No one should care about others definition of men. It is an annoyance and weakness in my opinion to care for such role models

What's the alternative? Keep it bottle up until you snap and beat your wife or kids? Heck no man, vent all you want.

We’re not supposed to real men don’t cry kinda thing.

It's healthier for us to express our emotions, but not in ways that might cause unpleasantness to others.

Everyone's allowed to, and should, vent when they feel the need. Gender and age doesn't matter.

i do it whether appropriate or not, the times we live now are not easy, and it's inevitable to vent at times.

Only non-penis feels and thoughts.

I don't know but I've been using EP/SW to do that.

a mix of both

Anyone should be able to vent, men included
