Men Need To Be Heard Show

The Strongest Men Know When To Ask For Help Yesterday I shared some thoughts about men who are victims of domestic violence and how they are usually reluctant to ask for help. Many can understand that circumstance but it also speaks to a larger issue that we men struggle with. You see a strange thing happens to a lot of men. We grow up hearing that we're supposed to handle everything ourselves. Solve every problem. Carry every burden. Figure everything out. And while self-reliance is important...it can also become a trap because no man succeeds completely alone. Every successful man you've ever met had help somewhere along the way. ·      A mentor. ·      A coach. ·      A friend. ·      A father. ·      A brother. ·      A teacher. Someone who shared knowledge, support, or guidance when it was needed. Yet many men struggle to ask for help when they're facing challenges. Not because solutions don't exist but because pride gets in the way. We worry it makes us look weak. Yet in reality, refusing help often keeps us stuck longer than necessary. Which is why it’s important to realize that the strongest men aren't the ones carrying everything by themselves. They're the ones wise enough to recognize when another perspective could help. When another set of eyes might spot something they're missing. When another man's experience might save them years of frustration. That's not weakness. That's intelligence. Whether it's your health. Your finances. Your marriage. Your career. Or your mental health. Sometimes the fastest path forward begins with a simple sentence: "I could use some help." And there's no shame in that. NONE! Because strength isn't measured by how much weight you carry alone. It's measured by your willingness to do whatever is necessary to keep moving forward. Even if that means reaching out. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

Most Men Try To Survive Abuse In Complete Silence Most Men Try To Survive Abuse In Complete Silence When people hear the words domestic violence, most immediately picture a female victim. What often gets overlooked is that men can be victims too. And many are. In fact for decades now reputable data as well as dozens of studies that have been done have shown that men are the victims of domestic violence at the hands of women as much if not more than women are at the hands of men . ·      Physically. ·      Emotionally. ·      Psychologically. ·      Financially. The question isn’t whether men are abused no the question is why isn’t anyone doing anything to help them? The problem is that male victims often face a different challenge than the abuse itself. It's that more often than not....Nobody believes them. They're told to man up. Laugh it off. Take it. They're afraid they'll be ridiculed if they speak up or worse be arrested and accused of being the perpetrator instead of the victim. Some men stay because they're worried about losing their children. Some stay because they don't think anyone will help. (and they’d be right) Some stay because they've been convinced the abuse is somehow their fault. And some stay because abuse rarely starts with a punch. It starts with control. Isolation. Manipulation. Humiliation. The gradual destruction of a person's confidence and sense of self. The truth is abuse is wrong regardless of who is doing it. And victims deserve support regardless of their gender. Contrary to what feminists and those who run domestic violence shelters often say, acknowledging male victims doesn't take anything away from female victims. It simply recognizes the reality. The reality that men ARE abused and that no one should have to suffer in silence. No one should be mocked for asking for help and no one should feel trapped in a harmful situation because society refuses to acknowledge their experience. Strength isn't staying silent while you're being hurt. Strength is recognizing a problem and taking steps to protect yourself. If you're in a healthy relationship, be grateful. If you know someone who's struggling, listen and try to help in whatever way you can. And if you're a man dealing with abuse yourself, understand this: You are not weak. You are not alone. And your experience matters. YOU MATTER! #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

Another Year Older... Now What? Today is my birthday. Another trip around the sun and I have to say one of the best. Much of it thanks to all of you and the kind words and support you give me every day. Which brings me to what I want to share with you all today which is a fun fact that most young men don’t understand but us OG’s… well, we get it in spades. And that is that every birthday eventually becomes less about getting older and more about taking inventory. ·      Am I where I thought I'd be? ·      Am I becoming the man I wanted to become? ·      Am I spending my time on things that actually matter? Those aren't always comfortable questions. But they're important ones. Because life has a way of speeding up. The years feel long when you're young. But then suddenly you blink and realize an entire decade disappeared. The good news is age itself isn't what matters. Progress does. A man can be 25 and completely lost. A man can be 65 and still growing. Still learning. Still building. Still becoming. The men who stay young the longest aren't the ones chasing youth. No, they're the ones who never stop moving forward. Never stop learning. Never stop setting goals. Never stop finding reasons to get out of bed in the morning. The truth is every birthday gives us two gifts. Gratitude for another year. And a reminder that our time isn't unlimited. Both are valuable. So whether you're celebrating today or not... Take a minute to ask yourself: What do I want the next year of my life to look like? Then start building it. One day at a time. Because none of us can change the years behind us. But every one of us can influence the year ahead. And that's a gift worth using wisely. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

The Future Needs Good Fathers A fact of life is that every generation inherits the world built by the generation before it. Which means the future isn't shaped by politicians or celebrities. It certainly isn’t built by influencers or social media trends. No in reality for the most part it's shaped by parents. And fathers play a huge role in that process. A father teaches things that can't always be found in a classroom. ·      Responsibility. ·      Discipline. ·      Resilience. ·      Accountability. ·      Delayed gratification. ·      How to handle failure. ·      How to keep going when life gets hard. And perhaps most importantly... How to become an adult. The truth is most fathers will never receive awards for what they do. They rarely even get acknowledged or any credit for all that they do. Unlike Mom’s nobody throws a parade for the dad who wakes up early every day for work. Nobody hands out trophies for paying bills. Nobody calls a Dad great for showing up or coaching the team or helping with homework. Nobody praises Dads for doing the most important job they do which is teaching life lessons. It’s all just expected. But those ordinary moments have extraordinary consequences because the impact of a good father often isn't fully visible until years later. When a son becomes a responsible man. When a daughter chooses healthy relationships. When children grow into capable adults. That's the real legacy. Not money. Not status. Not fame. But people as in the next generation. And whether you're a father, stepfather, grandfather, mentor, coach, or positive role model...  Never underestimate the impact you can have on a young person's life. Because the future doesn't just happen. It's built. One child at a time. One lesson at a time. One father at a time. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

Success Usually Looks Boring One of the biggest lies social media tells men is that success is exciting all the time. Well my friends I’m here to tell you that… It's not. Most success is actually pretty boring. It's waking up early when you don't feel like it. It's saving money instead of spending it. It's going to the gym when nobody would blame you for skipping. It's doing the work when nobody is watching. It's repeating simple habits long after the excitement disappears. The problem is we celebrate the result. ·      The business owner. ·      The athlete. ·      The author. ·      The successful father. ·      The man who's built a great life. But we rarely see the thousands of ordinary days that created that outcome. The early mornings. The sacrifices. The setbacks. The repetition. The discipline. And that's where success actually lives. Not in dramatic moments but in the ordinary moments that were repeated consistently. A lot of men quit because they mistake boredom for lack of progress. They think because the process feels repetitive, nothing is happening. Meanwhile that's exactly where the growth is occurring. Strength is boring. Savings are boring. Learning is boring. Consistency is boring. Until one day the results show up and then everybody suddenly thinks you got lucky. The truth is most successful men aren't doing extraordinary things every day. No, they're doing ordinary things extraordinarily well. For a very long time. So if your progress feels slow... Good. That actually means you're probably doing it right. So stay the course. The boring days count too. In fact, they usually count the most. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

Mine's under the bed 🤣🤣 #men #menneedtobeheard

The Key To Confidence One of the things that most men struggle with at one time or another is confidence and I think it’s because many men don’t really know what it is You see A lot of men think confidence is something you're born with. That you're either naturally confident or you're not. But that's not how confidence works. Confidence isn't magic. It's evidence. Evidence that you can trust yourself. Every time you tell yourself you're going to do something and then actually do it, confidence grows. You say you'll go to the gym. You go. You say you'll save money. You save it. You say you'll wake up earlier. You do. You say you'll finish the project. You finish it. Little by little, you build trust with yourself and in turn the others around you. The problem though is many men unintentionally destroy their own confidence. Not because they fail. But because they constantly break promises to themselves. · "I'll start Monday." · "I'll do it tomorrow." · "I'll get around to it eventually." After enough broken promises, something happens which is that you stop believing yourself. And when you stop believing yourself, confidence disappears. That's why confidence isn't built by motivational speeches. It's built by action. By consistency. By doing what you said you were going to do. Even when nobody else is watching… Especially when nobody else is watching. The good news is you don't need some massive transformation to rebuild confidence. Start small. Keep one promise today. Then another tomorrow. Then another next week. Over time, those small victories stack up. And one day you'll realize something important: That confidence isn't about feeling fearless. It's about knowing you can trust yourself. And that's a kind of strength nobody can take away. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

remember this advice ladies when you're old and gray and have no family to rely on. When you're sitting alone in your empty apartment hoping someone will check on you only to find that your boss, your co-workers and all the people you thought were your friends have moved on without you. It's hilarious how women think success is defined by having a career ya know the one and only thing they judge men by and then later on find out that career didn't end up doing anything for them in the long run oh and you'll still end up financially destitute cause women continue to spend more than they make which is why they're up to their eyeballs in debt, and defaulting on things like student loans in FAR higher numbers than men. But hey you keep listening to these broke bitter bitches who tell you this stuff because they want you to end up just like them. Alone and miserable. 🤣

NEVER give up your career to become a SAHM. I have had the misfortune of working with married males who cheated on their wives of years with "boss babes" at work. You won't have a husband, but at least you will have a career to rely on instead of being financially destitute.

The Best Advice Usually Comes From Someone Who's Been There Yesterday I shared some thoughts on why it’s so important that men pass down their knowledge to the next generation. As I mentioned it’s something of a lost art yet it’s critical we focus on bringing it back. Especially for our boys. Why? Well… Because most of life's biggest lessons aren't learned from books. They're learned from people. · The man who survived the divorce. · The man who built the business. · The man who overcame addiction. · The man who climbed out of debt. · he man who raised good kids. · The man who made mistakes and lived long enough to learn from them. It’s one of the reasons this channel and platform exists. To have a place where men can share their thoughts and wisdom with others and maybe just maybe help them avoid making the mistakes many of us already have. That's why mentorship matters. Not because mentors are perfect but because they've already walked roads we're about to travel. And if we're smart, we can learn from their scars instead of earning every scar ourselves. The problem is a lot of men stop seeking guidance as they get older. We think asking for advice makes us look weak. It doesn't. It makes us efficient. Because wisdom is one of the few things in life you can borrow from someone else. A twenty-minute conversation can save you twenty years of mistakes. A single lesson can completely change your direction. A different perspective can help you see solutions you never considered. And eventually the roles reverse. One day you're no longer the student… You're the teacher. The mentor. The guy somebody else comes to for advice. When that day comes, don't keep your knowledge to yourself. Pass it on. Because every generation of men gets stronger when knowledge moves forward instead of dying with the people who earned it. Seek wisdom. Share wisdom. And never underestimate the value of learning from somebody who's already been where you're trying to go. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

Exposing the blatant lies of feminism. This one's for you @pinkcellgirl youtu.be/zLDF1TwsCB4

Yeah why? #men #menneedtobeheard #menmatter

The Men Who Know How To Fix Things There was a time in the not so distant past when almost every boy grew up learning practical skills. · How to change a tire. · How to use tools. · How to fix things around the house. · How to solve problems with his hands instead of immediately reaching for a phone. But somewhere along the way, a lot of that got lost. Today, far too many young men graduate school knowing how to create a social media account but not how to replace a faucet. They can edit videos but can't jump-start a car. They can navigate five apps at once but have never held a power drill. And that's not their fault because well….Nobody taught them. The good news is it's never too late to learn and it’s important that they do. Why? Because practical skills do more than save money. They build confidence. The build a sense of pride. They build a sense of accomplishment. There's something satisfying about facing a problem and knowing you can handle it. Something breaks. You fix it. Something needs built. You build it. A challenge appears. You figure it out. That confidence carries into every area of life and honestly...The world still needs men who know how to solve problems. Men who can build. Repair. Create. Teach. Men who can pass their knowledge onto the next generation. Because every skill you learn becomes one less thing you have to depend on someone else to do for you. And every skill you pass on becomes part of your legacy. So learn something practical. Teach something practical. And never underestimate the value of knowing how to fix things. Not just around the house. But in life. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

Funny how that is... #men #menneedtobeheard #menmatter

I had so much fun making this and people like it.. they really really like it LOL youtu.be/WuSJEESHjks

@pinkcellgirl well I did google it and lo and behold we found out you're full of shit. Just like most women... wasn't even hard sweetie

Almost 80% organ donors are women and 80% organ recipients are men. Women especially married women are forced to sacrifice their life to save the life of an ill man who is suffering from lung, liver, heart problems but women on the other hand aren’t even asked if she is ok or not when she even gets cold! ( google it)

Your Children Are Watching More Than They're Listening Let’s talk about something I think a lot of men miss which is that whether you're a father, grandfather, uncle, coach, teacher, or mentor... Young people are always watching. And they're learning far more from what we do than what we say. You see… A man can spend an hour telling a child about responsibility or he can demonstrate it every day. A man can lecture about honesty or he can tell the truth when it's difficult. A man can talk about hard work or he can let young people see him show up when he doesn't feel like it. That's how values get passed down. Not through speeches but through example. The truth is most of the lessons we carry into adulthood didn't come from something somebody told us once. They came from something we watched repeatedly. · The father who kept his word. · The grandfather who never quit. · The coach who demanded accountability. · The mentor who treated people with respect. · The man who handled adversity without falling apart. Those examples stick. And in a world where many young people are searching for direction, good male role models matter more than ever. Not because they're perfect but because they're present. Because they're consistent. Because they demonstrate what responsibility looks like. The good news is you don't have to be famous to make a difference.You don't have to be wealthy. You don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes simply being the man who shows up is enough. The man who listens. The man who teaches. The man who cares. The man who sets the example. Because years from now, someone may remember the way you lived long after they've forgotten the advice you gave. And that's a responsibility worth taking seriously. #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter

ok @michellmybell1 I'm going to let YOU in on a little secret.. We men DON'T CARE! 1) Because all you said all you believe is a load of crap and 2) Because women such as yourself have become so toxic, so delusional, so brainwashed, so mentally ill that there's no point in even being around you let alone marrying you. As you pointed out women don't appreciate or acknowledge anything men do. All while reaping the benefits of it and using it to attack men. Using things like oh I dunno, your phone, the internet.. this very platform ALL of which (not to mention literally EVERYTHING around you are provided to you by men. Which makes you not just a man hater but a complete hypocrite. And THAT is why men don't care about your silly tirades and fantasies. Men have already walked away cupcake and now women are unwanted, unneeded, unnecessary and most of all UNWORTHY! So have your silly little childish rants. It's just confirms men are right

once again a woman.. a doctor no less showing how uneducated and clueless than are. How they project onto men what THEY are guilty of. How they think they actually know better than men how men think and feel and what they're motivation are. and again this is a doctor saying this publicly which means we should be calling into question her ability to treat patients. Clearly she has an inherent bias and hatred of men. Clearly she doesn't understand or respect them. And if she's saying things like this here in public imagine what she's saying and doing to male patients that are under her care.

Nobody Cares About Your Excuses Here’s something men need to hear: Nobody cares about your excuses Sorry but excuses are like assholes.. Everybody’s got one and they all stink Harsh? Maybe. But it's also true. The world doesn't reward intentions. It rewards results. · Nobody gets healthier because they planned to start exercising. · Nobody gets stronger because they intended to eat better. · Nobody becomes successful because they thought about starting a business. Good intentions don't create outcomes. Action does. And here's the thing: Every man has excuses. Every single one. We're busy. We're tired. We're stressed. We're overwhelmed. We're dealing with problems. So what… Life happens. None of us get a free pass from adversity. The difference is that some men act anyway. Not because they have fewer obstacles. But because they refuse to let obstacles make decisions for them. That's where personal responsibility becomes powerful. Not because it feels good but because it gives us control. The moment you stop blaming circumstances and start focusing on what you can control, your life changes. You may not control the economy. You may not control politics. You may not control what other people do. But you control your effort. Your attitude. Your habits. Your discipline. Your response. And that's where progress lives. Sadly a lot of men are waiting for life to get easier. Well I’m here to tell you that it probably won't. Not now… Not ever! But you can get stronger. More capable. More resilient. More prepared. That's the better path anyway. Because strength isn't built when everything is going well. It's built when life gives you every reason to quit and you keep moving anyway. So today, forget the excuses and instead focus on the next step. Then…. TAKE IT! #men #menneedtobeheard #mensupportingmen #mensmentalhealth #menmatter
