Do You Know Why Most Men Are Depressed?
The answers are so simple…
This article was inspired by something I read here.
Audrey Clifton wrote about the reasons why most men are depressed and I have taken the liberty of reproducing some of the points below:
Men are told that they’re horrible, sexist, racist pigs. They’re told that they’ve always been this way. If most women were told this I guarantee that they would be depressed as well. When everyone around you hates you it’s very difficult not to hate yourself.
Men are depressed because they search for meaning, and if they think they’ve found it they are told that their source of contentment is bad. They’re told that they themselves are bad. The epitome of what’s wrong with the world
With respect, I thought that his points were a tad nonsensical.
Men have been described as horrible and sexist since the beginning of time and I don’t think that it weighs heavily on us in the way that my colleague has stated.
Do you know why most men are really depressed?
Because they are broke and tired.
Broke as in impecunious and not having a pot to piss in and tired from having to compete with other men for scarce resources.
