With Intent

We've lost something in dating - the warmth, the intention, the humanity. With Intent is the start of something new. Not built for endless engagement. Built for connection. 💛

@TresTilo @hell_line0 Men have never in HIStory been more erased than women. It's literally in the word. And the study that became the "male loneliness epidemic" actually concluded that there was an ungendered loneliness epidemic.

@TresTilo @hell_line0 So, all of this is unnuanced to the point of immaturity, so I'll just tackle the first few. Men SUCCEED at self-outtinf more often because they choose violent methods that more often succeed. However, women make the attempt 3 to 4 times more often than men.

Seatbelts aren't designed for breasts. Real blood wasn't used for period product testing until like 2023. Female crash dummies weren't regularly used in crash tests until 2022. Women are 30% more likely to die if her surgeon is a man. Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women yet it takes 10 years to diagnose and there's more research done on male pattern baldness than endo. And endo studies consist of how attractive endo patients are to males.

I had just checked out at Walmart & I started to walk out & a guy walks up to me & was like "Hey babe" & Im like "What" Because I don't know this guy & he whispers "Theres a strange man following you. Just keep walking" & he walked me to my car. WHAT. A. MAN

Life is about balance. Be kind, but don't let people abuse you. Trust, but don't be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself. 🤲💖 - Zig Ziglar

The act fell flat. But the man who showed up messy? That’s the one who stayed. He built an identity around control and charm. But real love didn’t want the persona — it needed the person. #RomComRehab #Hitch #EmotionalIntelligence #HealthyMasculinity #SoftSkills

Red doesn’t ask for forgiveness. He wishes he could change — and that wish is the regret. This is accountability. This is emotional maturity. #LeadingMenFeelingThings

They weren’t each other’s first choice. But they were the first ones who really chose each other. Not for looks, convenience, or image. For love. For real. #RomComRehab #TheWeddingSinger #HealthyLove #EmotionalIntelligence #SoftSkills

He made jokes. He stayed busy. But when he found out the crew didn’t know he was alive… The loneliness hit like gravity. Even astronauts need to feel seen. #LeadingMenFeelingThings #EmotionalIntelligence

This piece is a deeply personal snapshot of my experiences just trying to do my best working for men. Also the reason I prefer to work for myself.

Are men really “protectors” when the crickets are louder? 🦗🦗🦗 #Protectors #SilenceSpeaks #Crickets #TheQuietPartOutLoud #WorkplaceTruth #Feminism #StorytellingThroughArt #SatireArt #TikTok vt.tiktok.com/ZSDJAGY49/

“Wanna have a catch?” isn’t just about baseball. It’s a grown man reaching for connection in a way his father never did. Quiet. Courageous. Healing. #LeadingMenFeelingThings #EmotionalIntelligence

Gaslighting is not love. Accountability is. #WithIntent #EmotionalAccountability #NotYourBurden #IntentionalDating

12 steps. Agonizing. Public. Tears running down his face. Carl Brashear feels everything — and keeps walking. 🎬 Men of Honor (2000) #LeadingMenFeelingThings #CubaGoodingJr #CarlBrashear #MenOfHonor #FeelingsAreStrength #MasculinityReimagined #WithIntent

If “mystery” means you never know where you stand, that’s not hot. That’s emotional unavailability. We’re not mistaking that for depth anymore. #WithIntent #BareMinimumFreeZone #DatingWithDepth #KnowYourWorth #SoftSkillsAreHot

The Damsel Quotient: Twilight — 5/5 Bella lives in danger, passivity, or self-abandonment. Edward watches her sleep. She has no interests outside him. And it’s sold as peak romance. #TheDamselQuotient #WithIntent #Twilight #RomComRehab

If it’s always confusing, it’s probably not healthy. Real connection brings clarity. You shouldn’t have to overanalyze every message just to feel safe. #DatingRealityCheck #EmotionalSafety #Attachment #DatingWithIntent

Emotional literacy means letting your guard down long enough to grieve what didn’t go the way you dreamed. Hashtags: #WithIntent #MoodMusic #EmotionalLiteracy #MenFeelToo #VulnerabilityIsStrength #EmotionalFluency #MasculinityRedefined #PopCultureEQ #EQForMen #GrieveOutLoud

Sometimes love knocks you off balance — but that doesn’t mean you’re lost. It just means you’re in motion. #WithIntent #SoftnessIsStrength #BalancedLove #ConsciousConnection
