It sucks that guys get gaslit about dating struggles

I’m 22 years old and straight up… Dudes just aren’t allowed to talk about any male dating struggle especially the struggles surrounding looks. They get made fun of or told just go workout and fix yourself. Why are guys the only people who are not allowed to complain about anything. My cousin is 18 and my uncle gave him the work on yourself and girls will give you a chance talk. He did all of that and developed actual hobbies, still gets rejected because he is short for his age (5’2.) Once no other advice worked he was finally told “oh it’s because of the stuff you repost on social media” yeah I’m sure his beliefs are such a big deal. Hell, I also get rejected a lot despite expanding my personality. I’m not saying anyone else should be blamed for shortcomings, I’m just saying we should be able to vent lol

Same goes for motorcycles, only ever received compliments from other men, and kids, lots of kids, which i guess sounds weird but it's really great when they wave at you all excited and you can rev it out to make them happy. Happened to me the other day, poor kid was basically trying to launch himself out the window to look at us, redlined it a few times and saw him jumping back in the car to tell his father basically jumping on the seat, made my day.

That’s quite wholesome, keeping be you man! It’s good for kids to see tough dudes being playful like that, saying that as I think most kids perceived motorcycle riders that way
