Just be yourself, dude.
Comment on Feeling insecure about going to a 'girlie pop' concert as a 30 year old man, am i overthinking it?
Mike_Hunt@lemmy.ml 3 days agoI think It’s because I don’t really see myself as either, I struggle with both. I know it’s all made up, but it’s all I ever see people talk about online and that could be anyone you walk past, I mean not everybody is chronically online as others, but they still have their views.
Just the other day, some kids lost their ball in a tree, so I go over to try and help (unsuccessfully) and then a man of similar Age and height just comes over and climbs into the tree in front of these kids, and I’m just standing there looking up with them, I felt like a lesser man at that moment, and it was pointed out to me once that I seem to seek the validation of woman for some reason.
Sorry, didn’t mean to get deep, but your comment got me thinking haha

damn that sucks :/
i wouldn’t bother to much asking about manliness around these parts, if it was all just made up as they say they wouldn’t care when i call them the wrong pronouns since that’s just made up as well
turns out things that are “just made up” still matter
but you’ve got a whole real life wife so that counts for a bundle👍

Just because it’s a construct doesn’t mean some people can’t have preferred pronouns that they would like to I have respected.

A lesser man wouldn’t have tried to help in the first place.
