    The number of clients I get who are clearly struggling with the burden of “what a man is and isn’t” would astound you… Hint: It’s a lot!

    No, boys aren’t OK…

    Just be you, friends!

    Men struggle too. It was dumb to assume otherwise, but that’s what was done.

    Man up, sit down Chin up, pipe down Socks up, don’t cry Drink up, don’t whine “Grow some balls,” he said “Grow some balls”

    I’m remembering the meme about the girl destroying her cheating now-ex boyfriend by pointing out that “Goku would be so disappointed in you”

    Watched a few of these to see how AI has gone. It’s decent when you just need to monotone some dialog, which is what these are, but they still have uncanny valley issues. The actual advice is basic 101 stuff.

    What I will say is, afaik there are absolutely zero male role models that aren’t grifting for money and/or setting some kind of political agenda. So I guess all that’s left is fictional characters. As far as Father’s go, most are shit, dead, or “out for smokes”, and the exceptions don’t know either… too busy working probably.
