ASK SWELL - Asking Men!

article image placeholderUploaded by @YSingla2407
You. My question is for all the men everywhere and at the swell community, what is the one thing you wish the world just understood about you as a man? Without attaching any judgments to it, let me know. I'll be all eager and curious to hear your responses and get to know that one thing that you really wish the world understood about you as a man. It

Hello, Yashika. First off, good morning, and I hope you're having a great start to your weekend. Thank you for asking such an underrated question. And I believe that in asking this question, you may have given the answer as well. So there are many things, but I think the one thing that I wish as a man the world understood is this that we want to be understood, that's it as simple as that. We want to be understood

And that's what we decide to when we decide to do something, it's like, okay, let's take care of it. Why sit around and worry about it and complain about it? Let's just take care of it. And also that we and women are very much programmed to want to be loved. And men really, if you ask any man, what's more important to you, love or respect?

Thank you so much for asking. Boy, gender norms seem to be pretty hot on the app right now. This is the third swell cast I saw today about gender, based on what the two gentlemen preceding me said. Men want to be treated just like anybody else in the relationship. They want to be heard, want to be understood. And I guess it takes communication in the relationship to understand how to be heard and to be understood

Its encouraging that these kind of conversation are normalized.

Then there is, of course, the other side of the coin of how such an act will be perceived by the women, or more specifically, by their partners, or the women that they are intending to pursue from a romantic or a relationship angle. This is where things get a little tricky, because from my own experiences I've had wonderful moments of open communication with women where I've been able to express myself, be understood, be heard, be valued for who I am without any judgment

So I live in an America where we're looked down on our pennies don't matter. We are thought of as the problems of the world were looked at by a lot of women as bad guys, criminals, whatever word you want to assign to it. We're just looked at as just troublemakers, and we're just looking for bad and trouble all the time. Well, there's a lot of good men out there, a lot of good men that are responsible, that they have their opinions

Are you a criminal? Did you go to jail? You don't have to answer that. I don't care. I mean, I want to hear your story. I do care, but it's no reflection on who you are. I have friends that have felonies, and they're great guys. They did something stupid, and they admit it. They say, like, I did something that I shouldn't have done. I was a different person back then
