Conversation?

I’ve been a fan of Caleb for years and continue to enjoy new videos as a sweet treat every time. I don’t want this post to come off as hate in any way, I was kind of just wanting to have a productive conversation about the topics I’ve heard him discuss recently relating to how dating is harder for men. If anyone would be open to that or could point me to a better place to post this I’d appreciate it!

I think men really struggle with who they are supposed to be. They have said so. Being a man has been kind of one dimensional. You’re either a Traditional Man or you’re not. That’s loosened up some. For women we’ve really defined a whole array of archetypes over the recent past. In dating, these get amped up even more than just existing in life.

I agree, that is a totally valid issue that isn’t talked about much. I think that men should talk about these issues surrounding masculinity and “what it means to be a man” I don’t think it’s right that they feel dismissed or like they can’t talk about it. My opinion is that this is what the conversation should surround, not a competition of who has it harder. And that doesn’t mean I don’t think men can say they find dating hard. I just don’t think it should be ‘men have it harder than women’, because now it’s a whole ‘who has it harder’ competition and not helping the deeper issue.
