I don’t think it’s a generational thing

Black men usually aren’t allowed to show emotion or be emotionally intelligent

They want us void of all emotions

This thought process needs to die.

1- what do you mean ‘not allowed’. By WHO?

2- Its outdated. If anything black men/society are now over-correcting by normalizing femininity and redefining what masculinity looks like—-it usually involves such performative bs as this video

Reminds me of that thread where men were asked what does masculinity mean and the breh said masculinity means beng vulnerable and listening to your bytch :dead:

Men raised right are actually more emotionally intelligent than women. Unfortunately we have a whole generation of men who weren’t , so now women are the gatekeepers of emotional IQ. Women telling men how to be men. Hence we get tropes that traditionally were said by women ‘men don’t cry, men aren’t emotional’.

You have no clue what you are talking about.

I've been seeing that as a common theme in your posting

Don’t care to argue something I posted a week ago

But ill humor you

Who do you think… society perhaps:jbhmm:

Men being feminine now, in your opinion, doesn’t have shyt to do with black men being able to express their feelings without being judged. So how tf is that outdated?

This shyt is absolutely hilarious and why it’s funny when ppl call women gold diggers and act like there aren’t opportunistic men out there.

I can’t even be mad because the play was so fukking obvious from the jump!

That’s why he still got with her after the whole “dark meat 🥩 on the side” shyt blew up; he didn’t love that broad and he wasn’t offended! He was in it for business all along.

Out here playing chess and running circles around this Asian broad.
If her ass kept it humble some of those Black women who were her co-hosts might’ve helped her see what she was walking into. :sas2:


They both got what they wanted she got a ring and a kid and he got a different audience.

Watched it with my wife in bed last night since she wanted to see it. Kinda awkward in parts cause I couldn't tell who was supposed to interview who.

The part I found the most interesting was the part about Black women allowing Black men to have a safe space. I jokingly told my wife that was one of the reasons she got me. Early in our relationship we had broken up a couple times and in my mind we was on the ropes. If she hadn't ultimately given me the nudge to be vulnerable with her and let me do so in my own time, we prob never would have made it.

I didn't watch the whole thing though. Told her I needed some p*ssy and to go to sleep so that was that :manny: It was cool though, brehs should check it out. Have it in the background while you do something productive

I should add, you still can't tell your woman everything. Before you nikkas be out here telling all your business. Its some shyt we just have to keep locked up as men. But if you feel like you can trust her with 80-90% of your shyt, and she'll work thru it with you? That's a keeper breh.
