This feels stronger in the N America and U.K. than Europe where it’s very common to see men having drinks or even hanging out together with just their kids (dad play dates) in Spain and Holland and Germany even. Greater work life balance might give men more opportunities to build their social lives.

Who came here from the NYT article? Excellent take! “We no longer depend on you financially, stoy depending on us emotionally.”

Isn't depending on another person emotionally the whole dynamic of being in a relationship? Isn't the emotional interdependence mutual?

i think that it needs to be a balance. if both partners can be emotionally supportive. the man is emotionally supportive of his woman and she is emotionally supportive of him. it takes two to tango so both need to be supportive. i understand when a woman feels that they are doing all the work and the man is not doing the same. And guys should have a few close friends at least i agree. but women can't just blame men and take the back seat completely and not be there. then there is no point of being in a relationship. partners need to lift each other up.

Men aren’t going to stop preferring to talk to their wife or girlfriend Trick is to also expect the man to help you out with stuff Date and marry men who cook all meals , plan vacations and have a good job Just those three things will make it all worth it

Broadly agree but your suggestion is limited by fact society more focused on uplifting women than uplifting men.

I’m seeing this a lot in my coaching and it’s for real an issue, but there’s so much can do to encourage them to make deeper connections on their own ❤️

I have never seen a relationship where the man puts in 10x the effort while the woman puts in zero and still convinces herself she's a victim

So…men are too emotionally distant, unless they open up to their partners, in which case they’e too needy. Got it.

The main problem with most men who are lonely or have trouble getting in relationships, is not because they “depend” on women.They just don’t see women as “people” but more objects to be used

I’ve never been in a relationship where I wasn’t the emotional crutch for my female partner. And I see women relying on men for stability MUCH more often than the opposite.

It’s weird.. I kinda feel like this is more of an issue with women. Most women center men and utilize their female friendships for this until they find a man. Then they stop seeing their friends regul

I love watching all these women explain to men why they feel the way they feel lol they took mansplaining, flipped it and reversed it lol

Recent data has 60% of men not even wanting a relationship. If the women don't either, doesn't the issue sort of resolve itsef?

2000 - Women complain that men dont open up and should talk about thier feelings and embrace therapy.
2025 - Women complain about men talking about feelings to much and treating them like a therapist 😂
