    As a straight man, I can confirm I'm an unhealthy part of that 71%. We guys have got to start having more emotional connection with one another so we can better support each-other without leaning too much on our romantic partners for the help. Definitely can lead to some serious emotional turmoil, even while in a relationship. A lack of supportive friends with which to DO THINGS WITH, alone, has led me to a severely depressed state where I struggle to do basic things like eat real food and shave my face daily, despite supportive ladies in my life. We just have to do better.

      Yeah, it's even unhealthy when the relationship is going alright for the most part, but you just put all your emotional support needs on a single person. What if she's also going through something tough? You either bottle it up or overwhelm her.

    As a straight guy, I can relate to most of what you said, especially the feeling suicidal. But I can’t relate to the glowing up part. When a girl I really liked dumped me out of nowhere, I used that as motivation fuel to go to the gym and get hot and glow up. I did this basically just to spite her. A lot of other guys I know did the same.

I just make more of an effort to take care of myself when I'm with someone because I don't want to burden them or drive them away. The stakes are higher, and I take better care of myself because my health doesn't affect just me anymore.
      For example, say I lose 20 pounds and get in great shape if I'm in a relationship. If I go through a breakup and put on those 20 pounds back on, that's my not my ex's fault. It's mine, and I just defaulted back into my previous state. No one should feel guilty for that.

That is so unbalanced and unhealthy, it also has to be considered if whether or not that plays a role in the relationship ending as well. You have to see your own value and live for yourself even when in a relationship, because it’s not realistic and is designed to fail if you believe that somebody can fully maintain your sense of self for you.

      Girl I completely understand about being afraid to bring it up but please for your sake do it. I was in a relationship for five years and he never did anything to contribute. He lived with me for free and I would constantly be doing his laundry and cleaning up after him. Multiple times I tried to bring it up and he would either get upset and shut down or he would wash dishes for one day and then go back into the old habits. And it made me build up a lot of animosity and anger towards him because I felt like I couldn’t communicate with him without him being upset. So I ended up getting a really bad attitude and honestly it became a cycle of me just being angry and probably taking a lot of unwarranted anger out on him. You deserve to have someone that is going to treat you like a partner or an equal. It shouldn’t just be you taking on all that stress. You might accidentally let it build up and explode one day and say some things you might regret.

    This is one of the most classic devices for reproducing toxic masculinity. As a transwomen, after i got out, i break up with my ex-cis-het male friends, because they are toxic and they made me fell disgusting and without self steem. After this i really solved a lot of mental problems in my life. Without a bunch of "bros" pressuring me to adopt certain obnoxious behaviors and to act in a way that was totally different from who I really was, I was basically able to have self-esteem...

    Recently a woman commented on how soft my hair was, I total her I'd started putting lotion on my face after showers, and I just ran any extra lotion on had on my hands through my hair. She said it was disgusting how easy it was for men, and I agree.
    Men, put even the bare minimum into your skin and hair, and you'll be in the top ten percent of men. Thanks to all you fellas out there keeping the bar so low, probably due to some bizarre fear, like that putting lotion on your face means you're not manly anymore or something.

      @@Vivi_9 If I understand the question correctly, I believe it's different for women, because more women use moisturizer and hair conditioner than men, meaning if a woman does it, it doesn't give her the same advantage it would give a man because more other women are also doing it. Technically speaking, the more men who moisturize and use hair conditioner, the less doing so will give a man an advantage. If 50% or more of men did it, then doing it wouldn't make you above average anymore, then it becomes more a case of not doing it making you below average. ...Maybe I should stop telling other men it's a good idea to do it... Actually, don't use lotion, you don't want to be a slave to the matriarchy! Stop bathing, wear food stained clothing, be a man! Men don't want all these shallow women. Don't worry, I'll spend time with them so the rest of the guys don't have to deal with all their demands. Does this make me a hero? Yeah, I guess it really does. jk, jk.

    As a guy, I agree with this 100%. After a breakup with my first real girlfriend at 22, I fell into a negative cycle of self destructive habits. I went from eating less healthy, to becoming more reclusive, to alcohol abuse, and then to full on suicidal tendencies by the time I was 28 due to the complete lack support from family and friends. On top of that, my dad died at 29 and I had lost my entire support structure.
    I’m only just now coming out of the depression of not having someone to lean on emotionally after ten years. I didn’t realize how much I’d needed the support if someone who would actually listen to me without feeling judged or ridiculed.

    I'm convinced every mental health issue that men experience more frequently than women is caused by a lack of emotional support network.
    Society teaches men they're not allowed to have feelings, that it's shameful for men to cry, etc., which results in them feeling like they can't confide in anyone.
    Worse mental health in divorced men? Caused by lack of emotional support network.
    Higher suicide rates with men in general? Caused by lack of emotion support network.
    Men being more likely to develop unhealthy habits post-breakup? Caused by lack of emotional support network.

    I have seen the toll breakups can take on men. I have made a guy friend in group therapy right before his wife broke things off and he recently broke up with his new girlfriend. When things went well with either he was glowing and helping me get out of my mental rut. I wanna be there for him and give him emotional support even though I am neither a very social, talkative, confident or emotionally stable person. To say that I'm doing my best would be a lie, I could do more... I'm tapping in the dark for what to do, and I often catch myself about to give stereotypical advise that I know is dumb and unhelpful like some sort of humanoid tape player.

If she leaves well kicks the man out forcing him into homeless and still draining him it's because he didn't make her feel appreciated. And we should blame the billionaires for the worse homeless problem in the richest country in the world. Not the women force men into homeless.

    Something that impacts this is who is often assigned the ‘blame’ of a breakup.
    Purely anecdotally, I’ve experienced more people willing to support the woman rather than the man, for reasons like women generally having more friends, male ‘friends’ of the woman securing their place, and purely cause the man might be less fun to be around.

    Its weird. This januari i went through a break up and i (male, 24) had a really though time. I wanted to listen to music to help with the emotions, so i listened to some uplifting and positive music. I also wanted to hear breakup songs but the thing is that almost every song about breakups and emotions after breaking up were made by women. In many cases the unnamed male in the song was the villain and it was about female empowerment. Even though i agreed with the message (in positive songs, not where the male was villified), i couldnt relate.
    It appeared that there was no room for male emotions or male empowerment after a breakup in the songs. Both in content and in quantity of songs. Found that weird, just wanted to share.

    Honestly have never been in a relationship myself so I can’t really speak to that, but on the topic of emotional support among men, I find it’s not as prevalent as it is with women. Speaking as a man, a lot of close friends that I had before or even in certain cases where I talk to my dad, I don’t really go into it expecting to be consoled (or validated if I am in the wrong).
    Hope this doesn’t get taken the wrong way, but overall I find that men (at least from my experience) tend to be more so a voice of reason when it comes to a lot of things whereas a lot of women are naturally better with emotional support. Even when I have friends who are able to confide in me, I will always hear them out but at the same time I always find myself suggesting solutions to problems they may be having or just flat out telling them what they NEED to hear instead of what they might want to hear, if that makes sense and vice versa for when I talk to others. That is all IF I actually open up to others though since I don’t really find myself having to all too often.

      It could be that a lot of men have less emotional support. Although that is not my experience with my male friend groups as they are all super supportive.
      Or the sexes just handle broken romances differently at a biological level.
