Jason Wilson ask "why do so many 40 yrs + men act like boys?"

[IIVI]

“Following men who don’t love themselves.”

That’s a whole bar right there.

I see right through the bravado of so many people who cats look up to and see that they really don’t love themselves honestly.

A lot of late Gen X and early millennials grew up in the midst of the most prolific years of the crack era. It did a number on us mentally and we were never really able to shake it off.

This is really true and overlooked. If you really listen to the warped logic dudes like Jim Jones and Joe Budden have, it's not surprising that they both had a parent caught up in the crack era.

 

[Piff Perkins]

This is a good percentage of dudes today. Super emotional, He-Man Woman Hater Club ass losers. Can't communicate or explain their feelings. Just a lot of fake macho shyt hiding fatherlessness and pain.

As expected, ni66as running up in here to disagree with this man just for the sake of being a contrarian.

Thus, proving his point. The irony.

Exactly. They just didn’t watch the clip, per the usual.

His point basically is about the temperament of a man. Being able to process emotions in a constructive manner. His example about his wife at the gas station highlights that. If he was some ignat old nikka that never matured he’d probably clap the nikka but he didn’t. He asked the boys why they angry, and it goes back to not having men respectable men in their lives to model their behavior after.

The question and video made me roll my eyes because any why as to how a person acts is found in their upbringing. All lack of stats aside, very little of what he said comments on a person's upbringing and instead, made it seem like a choice made irrespective of that, which makes little sense. If you want to fix any problem like that, fix their upbringing or target anything to counter the wrong in their upbringing.

Like the encounter he had with the other breh, he should be asking himself, why was the other breh more responsible than him and responded more maturely than him? What in his upbringing made their responses different?

Shut yo bytch ass up fuc nikka

I'm going to be 40 years old next month. Still behave the same way i did when i was 16.
Never held me back in the slightest. i'm educated, successful, and doing just fine. Never felt like you earned any extra points "acting grown"
Still love my video games, still smoke weed, still got the same hobbies and interests. Stil have a great relationship with my family, still a great dad to my daughter.

The whole maturity thing is just for its own sake. If you feel better about yourself because you very mature, wizened and gentlemanly in your disposition ,that's great. but its not a secret to any sort of success or anything. Plenty of people more mature than me struggling out there. Maturity isn't going to save them.

Mature and Responsible aren't the same thing.
Being Mature and having a drive to be successful aren't the same thing.

I don't buy it at at all

You just don't see how you've changed.

Or, in an exceptionnal manner, you were already moving like a grown up at 16.

 

[Commish]

Didn't watch, but read what was written. I somewhat agree with him. But, he can't speak in absolutes!

There are a lot of men like he described, but in reality, the men who actually handle business and condect themselves as men rarely get recognized.

It's the emotionally unintelligent ones who wanna run fades and whoop feet all day, the ones that put everything on their dead homies, the ones who self incriminate themselves and catch RICO charges or rap about street iish in thier 30s+ who get the attention.

Wish more ppl would admit that these are the men who ppl care about the most.

 

[TEH]

Would I be immature if I said he looked like a Black Santa on ozempic?

That man wasn’t following your wife.

I know from experience sometimes when you’re going the same direction as someone it can be misconstrued.

He’s a hypocrite for threatening another man on an assumption foh

Also - don’t quote me unless you watched the entire video.

 

[LDC]

It's a valid question tho and it's not a "black community" problem or just a man issue either. Probably worse for women tbh. It's not just about your interests/hobbies, playing video games or watching wrestling, what you wear or anything surface like that. But it's quite a few white guys at work in their 40s they haven't broken out of the frat boy mentality. Old enough to have kids out of college. Getting old don't mean you're dead or that your overall interests should change, but some people do need to "grow up" at some point cause you ain't 21 anymore. Leave some shyt to the kids.

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

I have a few ideas

And it's funny how ya'll automatically jump to video game as a gauge of maturity.

Pretty sure he means emotional instability, accountability, reliability, honesty etc etc.

I work with a ton of men and I would say only a handful are mature adults who should be trusted beyond basic tasks.

Everyone always has these million excuses of why this or why that but the truth is that just who ya'll are.

Being immature is the base nature and most people live on the base level. Never thinking but always doing.

It's really not more complicated than that. We're all operating on different level and most will always be at the bottom.

It takes effort to grow and change and improve and most are too low level to ever get beyond that.

For those who don't know he wrote "Cry like a man." He's a martial artist and life coach type guy

The dude literally stalking his wife?

The dude literally stalking his wife?

Was the dude actually doing that or was that her take on everything? That's the problem. It sounds like she got freaked out because this dude was going the same place as her.
