As I'm getting older I'm realising what I need in terms of male health

@Dainbramadge Absolutely, I've thought this for a while. The focus is mostly on women and that's fair and good but we tend to view masculinity in negative connotations in modern society and it's not helpful. We have the largest generations of single parents and a lot of people growing up without father figures in families or in general. Younger men look to hyperrealistic archetypes of what masculinity is and get confused, speaking from experience.

We don't define it well, we don't really have a brotherhood or as good support systems as women tend to have generally speaking. I think it all falls together, mens mental health, physical need for exertion in a positive way, direction, we need more positive spaces for men and to encourage and teach that.

@blindbob I'm not too sure as I'm not familiar with being a woman and what my needs would be.
I think testosterone regulation also helps in that regard with hormones though in terms of balance but that goes beyond my armchair theories unfortunately.

@blindbob I haven't really put too much thought into the female aspect of it.
But I am very sure that there are strong similarities but maybe different chemicals.

@SW-User And it's so easy to fall into that with how we tend to live these days. I'm about to unplug my PS5 and do an experiment where I'm forced to fill my time in other ways for a while.

@blindbob I agree, having a support group of close friends, not eating processed foods and getting outside especially is easily overlooked.

@SW-User No but that sounds fun as hell. I'm gonna start rock/wall climbing soon with a few friends.

@Ryannnnnn Try and probably let me know. If you are physically fit of course. <3
