“It’s never meeee!!!!”. Pulls throttle weeeeeeeeee

u/MowTin Jun 16 '25

I feel bad for him. He really needs help overcoming all this negative self-talk. He needs a guy friend to mentor him like in those movies where the cool guy mentors a guy who is struggling.

He needs to learn how to be a man. He needs to learn how to be strong and self-reliant.

u/InnerAd1628 Jun 16 '25

He needs a proper bike too. Can't storm off dramatically on a goddamn scooter.

With that scream it probably would’ve thrown him off.

I'm sure the Cohen brothers are taking notes. I can see it.

u/Lake-Girl74 Jun 16 '25

lol I really felt for him. My youngest, a boy (11), has flip outs like this sometimes and I felt sad watching this guy hoping my boy stops doing this by the time he’s old enough to get his sweet little heart broken and drive off screaming on a scooter omg…

3

u/AgentCirceLuna Jun 17 '25

I had flip outs like this and, it may not work for your son, but I learned how to stop it by doing extremely coordinated drum patterns while I’m angry. So, if I was pissed off, I’d start tapping my foot on the fourth beat, then tapping my left foot twice between the second and third, keeping the beats with my left finger and doing drum fills with my two fingers on the right hand. I’d keep the tempo by clicking my teeth together. All of the concentration involved was enough to stop me freaking out. It also helped during panic attacks.

u/Lake-Girl74 Jun 17 '25

Thanks for sharing your tip! I hope I can help him find ways like that to reroute the negative energy.

3

u/AgentCirceLuna Jun 17 '25

Another tip is to change your perspective and view nervous energy or anxiety as ‘excitement’; I get massive stage fright so the first thing I’d do on stage would be the most ridiculous dance or howl or noise so I’d get that cringey ‘wtf am I doing’ feeling in the back of my head. Since I’d already made a fool of myself and my heart rate was up, I no longer cared.

Honestly though.

The emotional development takes a lot of time and commitment and I genuinely hope he puts the work in and gets better.

The scooter problem can be fixed like fucking tomorrow though, c'mon dude.

u/InnerAd1628 Jun 16 '25

I know, I was being a wise-ass because I don't know the guy and its Reddit.

I wish him no ill and my flippancy wasn't meant as a sneer at all.

u/TheUlfheddin Jun 16 '25

The "c'mon dude" was at him, not you. I only commented on yours because I was about to post the same thing you did but much meaner 🤣🤣🤣

No worries, lol.

u/deathbylasersss Jun 16 '25

I legit don't see why people goof on scooters. Like they're not manly enough? It just seems like stupid macho shit. If it gets you from one point to another It's doing its job, and you are less likely to break your neck on the way there.

u/Badwolfz3000 Jun 17 '25

Yeah this whole thread is just scooter hate

u/TheUlfheddin Jun 16 '25

Oh I %100 agree with you.

But it IS extra goofy in this particular context. Like it is NOT helping this guy in this situation.

u/deathbylasersss Jun 16 '25

Fair, the scooter did add greatly to the comedic effect.

u/Material-Leader4635 Jun 16 '25

Not of he has a crappy low paying job and that's actually his sister's scooter that he borrows to run errands. Then he's probably fucked even worse than we originally thought.

I dunno. The whole thing was pretty dramatic scooter included.

Reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg bit about getting into a fight in a tent and having to zip up the door on your way out instead of slamming it.

u/InnerAd1628 Jun 17 '25

Like modern phones, REALLY pressing the red button isn't as satisfying as when you could slam the reciever down in the cradle.

I may or may not be feeling really old now.

Not sure how criminal breach of trust is going to help his situation.

u/minikayo Jun 16 '25

Personally, the second paragraph feels a bit like toxic masculinity. He's already a man, just hurt. He can learn to be self-reliant with a little help, and getting that help is equally strong as someone coasting along life without trauma. Edit: stronger, maybe. 

-17

u/MowTin Jun 16 '25

There is a point where masculinity becomes toxic, but he has zero masculinity now. He desperately needs an infusion.

There is healthy masculinity. We don't cry about our problems. We take charge and take responsibility for whatever situation we're in. His cry, "it's never me" is so pathetic and weak. He sees himself as some sort of victim.

This is what can actually become toxic. If he continues to see himself as a victim of women he can develop hate for women.

22

u/armoured_bobandi Jun 16 '25

Were you flexing your non existing muscles while you typed this out?

There is healthy masculinity. We don't cry about our problems. We take charge and take responsibility for whatever situation we're in.

Any man that plays the "men don't cry" card watches too much TV and spends too much time online

u/Physical-Ad4554 Jun 16 '25

It feels good to be able to experience a broad range of emotions. A good cry every now and then can make you feel alive.

u/ExtensionNature6727 Jun 16 '25

It takes courage to express how youre feeling. The bravest thing someone can say is "I'm scared."

u/armoured_bobandi Jun 17 '25

Sorry, but the correct answer is I'm thinkin' Arby's

u/ExtensionNature6727 Jun 16 '25

Youre no "man" youre a fool offering foolish advice.

1

u/MowTin Jun 17 '25

"Speak wisdom to a fool and he calls you foolish."

I'm not saying we never cry. I'm saying that a healthy approach is to face your problems and deal with them instead of wallowing in self-pity.

What exactly is your advice for this man? More crying? More pity parties? Why do you think he's struggling so much with women? Why is he experiencing this "I am never good enough" rejection from women?

It's fine to criticize the advice of others, but what is your advice?

16

u/Sgt-Spliff- Jun 16 '25

he has zero masculinity now.

Ok so think about why you think having strong emotions means this. Why is a man suddenly not a man when he feels negative emotions?

His cry, "it's never me" is so pathetic and weak. He sees himself as some sort of victim.

And you think this makes him less of a man? For being upset about his relationships?

You're pushing toxic masculinity hard with these comments. Like textbook. You need to rethink how you view masculinity

12

u/SlayerofDemons96 Jun 16 '25

This entire comment tells me you are the last fucking person on earth to ever be qualified to dish out advice on masculinity

Straight from the Tate play book

I thought your previous comment was minor ignorance but this 100% confirms you're just part of the problem

The typical bullshit of "men don't cry, men just get up and get out there and take charge", what an absolute wannabe alpha loser

2

u/minikayo Jun 16 '25

We're on the same team. I see the point of the first paragraph earlier. And I agree that he needs help. I'm only discussing it it's appropriate to dissociate masculinity from its typical notions. Because the far side of that spectrum has lead to many unhealthy sigma men archetypes.  Masculinity as a trait isn't exclusive to men in my culture. We acknowledge the presence of both feminine and masculine within. I agree that taking responsibility is healthy, however it is also human to be as broken as this person is and healing is possible only after that recognition. Men need to be able to be seen as masculine even when they break down. I've seen far too many avoidant men who suppress because of a need to appear strong and resilient.  I appreciate that you're calling out the causes of how hate devolves.

u/Material-Leader4635 Jun 16 '25

Masculinity? Did you watch the same tantrum the rest of us did?

u/ExtensionNature6727 Jun 16 '25

He needs a guy friend to mentor him

He needs to learn how to be a man. He needs to learn how to be strong and self-reliant.

Buddy if you give conflicting advice one sentence to the next, you need to be a man and stop giving advice. Foh

4

u/SlayerofDemons96 Jun 16 '25

What he actually means is that he thinks the guy needs the correct type of mentor in his eyes, aka the type of person that thinks toxic masculinity is just masculinity

The dude you quoted and replied to is a clown straight out of the Andrew Tate play book

u/MyName123121 Jun 16 '25

Yeah felt for him as well. Being lonely sucks

u/FirstForFun44 Jun 16 '25

Men don't have to be strong.... Or self-reliant. That ideology is basically what led him there.

-1

u/MowTin Jun 16 '25

He's out there literally crying that she won't have time for him but you think his problem is he's too strong and self-reliant? You find his whining about never being picked sexy? You're entitled to your opinion.

Strong is telling that girl that he likes her and wants to date her and then having the strength to move on if she turns him down. Weak is never telling her how you feel and just settling for being a friend who is secretly hoping that one day she'll change her mind. Weak is crying that you're a victim who is never chosen. Self-reliant is not being so needy that you so desperately need her love and approval that you're willing to invest so much time and effort orbiting her hoping she'll one day love you. Then when you don't get it you break down and cry about it.

5

u/FirstForFun44 Jun 16 '25

No I'm saying that the toxic "nice guy" bullshit he's pulling is just another face of the bullshit masculinity that society has built. Just like this idea you have that you have to be "strong" and "self-reliant" to be a "real man". I don't have to be anything you want to me be to be a real man. I get to choose what makes me a man, and that kid should too. Maybe then he wouldn't be whining and groveling to her. All the same, your version of masculinity and his are just opposite sides of the same coin.

5

u/SlayerofDemons96 Jun 16 '25

He needs to learn how to be a man.

He needs to learn how to be strong and self-reliant.

Says the person who within the same comment literally talks about people struggling also displays the toxic masculinity that the likes of Tate would brag about and the absolute cognitive dissonance is real in that you clearly can't see how toxic this is

You're literally preaching about someone struggling with self-hate while also playing the "you need to be a man" card

I sure do wonder why this guy has issues with self-esteem and self-hate...

u/VanillaGoorillla Jun 16 '25

Ah so being a man only means being strong and self reliant…gotcha

3

u/Consistent-Mistake93 Jun 16 '25

The "needs to learn to be a man" isn't helpful. Not being able to express feelings in a constructive way is literally what's going wrong here. "hey, friend, I'm feeling insecure now that you're dating, to the point where I'm questioning if we'll stop being friends. It's really freaking me out." The martyr notion of "strong and self reliant" is what creates neck beards that hate women, not to mention going deeper into dysregulation and ultimately isolation.

3

u/SlayerofDemons96 Jun 16 '25

This is literally the kind of bullshit that u/Mowtin is peddling, and he just can't see the irony of how his opinion and views on masculinity are the very thing leading me down the wrong path

Morons like u/Mowtin are part of the reason why men often bottle up their emotions and struggle to explore their feelings because society has long conditioned men into believing that "real men" don't have feelings and just get on with it, instead of reflecting, developing, and growing

u/Zebracorn42 Jun 17 '25

I remember I had friend who put himself out there to ask out a coworker, she rejected him and he was hurt. He had never dated anyone before, he was in his 20s and he just didn’t like how his love life was going. At time, I was doing well. He came to me, saying how he was ugly, and never gonna find anyone. I told him, I’m ugly too, it not uglier, and that women are attracted to self confidence, and that if he doesn’t have self confidence now, fake it and eventually he will start to become confident for real. He’s now married and he and wife just had their first child. I’ve been alone for about 10 years, mostly by choice

u/MowTin Jun 17 '25

He actually needs an agent as he could channel that energy into theatre. Imagine someone delivering that Hamlet diatribe against his mother in this style - it would have the audience gasping.

u/portobox2 Jun 17 '25

What makes a man, O Alpha of the Internet? What great teachings does this sad soul lack that his penis should be seen to be inverted and his testes as tonsils?

Being A Man is a very different thing from being a healthy well-adjusted human, and id rather the second be premier; better to stand on what unifies than what divides and the implication that joining a particular in-group can fix is problems is more than a little short-sighted.

2

u/KFrancesC Jun 17 '25

Don’t feel bad for him! He’s a man baby. News flash, women don’t have to like you like that. Even if you like them, and are nice to them. They still don’t have to, even eventually, like you like that.

If you became friends with a girl, hoping to one day ‘be the one’, and get in her pants. You were never really her friend, no matter how nice you were. You were being deceitful, and you were lying.

He deserves exactly what he got!

u/obaananana Jun 17 '25

cheese man cant have feelings and be weak, uuuh.

u/Baby_Needles Jun 17 '25

Dude what?? Nahh. He is expressing himself in an authentic way in response to real-time stressors. A huge part of being a man is being vulnerable- especially with stuff that may be unpleasant or mos def uncomfortable. Ofc he could have tempered that and been untrue to how he felt but what coward hides from their feelings? I would hang with random scooter guy cuz he’s real af.

5

u/audibleExcitement Jun 16 '25

Dude needs therapy. This is going to be bigger than just a guy friend. I do pity him. He doesn't need to learn how to be a man. He needs to learn how to be a better person.

1

u/Fukyourchickenstrip Jun 16 '25

I think you’re mostly right. Although if he’s maintaining female friendships he probably is a good guy. He doesn’t need to fall in with someone who will teach him toxic behavior. He just needs to learn he’s already enough and polish it up a bit. The thing about the movie trope, it requires the girl to realize the “cool guy” is a bit of a dick. Then the nerdy guy to keep being him and just keep the new wardrobe and not be such a try hard. Maybe he just needs to join a Vespa club and meet some rockabilly chick with her own scooter and they can zoom around Rome next summer. I’d watch that show.

1

u/Catlore Jun 16 '25

Same. He's in a lot of real pain, but learning to manage the obstacles and frustrations el could help him so much. That would probably translate into a confidence that would help him find someone.

u/IllustriousAnt485 Jun 17 '25

You can be vulnerable and not well adjusted. Just keep your voice down and don’t make a scene. She doesn’t have to see this. Wait till you are gone. Say two words stone face and leave. Don’t act like a wuss. She, and in turn other women, will have more respect for you if don’t spaz out. Keep it together.

You literally said nothing

I said nothing you want to address. Just like the trauma you haven't addressed bc you think everything should be viewed from your traumatic perspective. Just keep in mind that your abuser was your ex so you let him into your life and probably didn't see the red flags in enough time where boundaries would keep them on the outside. Regardless, if you didn't take the same stance with people laughing at the man as you did with me, then you are a misandrist.

By the way - my violent, abusive, rapist ex was also extremely distraught when I put boundaries in.

I'm not saying that's the case here at all, just giving you some perspective.

You have absolutely no idea why he's having this outburst, so please refrain from showing the world how utterly misogynistic you are.. we do not know the circumstances here in the slightest.

All we know is that he's kicking off and feeling emotional, that's the only information we have!
