48 Men Expose Myths People Still Think Are Facts

That developing feelings for a platonic girl friend means you were only friends with them because you wanted to sleep with them.

It's an insanely crude way of looking at something like that. Most often it's just because you built an extreme level of trust with that friend and then wanted to be around them more, not because of some initial desire.

That a man doesn’t need hugging, caressing and cuddling as much as a woman does. The sense of touching has been devalued and the sense of smell has been debased.

They can’t cook. I make some banging meals in the kitchen.

That we can't have long-term, close platonic women friends.

I think the thing that is 100% a myth is the underlying notion that *anything* about humanity is 100%. Whenever I hear “most men are XYZ” or “most women are XYZ”, I know that whatever comes next is completely made up.

That we can’t take care of children. I’m a guy and I helped raise and take care of several of my siblings when my mother was going through chemo.

That we dont want/need affection or compliments.
We actually do to a crippling degree.
We've just been socialized to feel ashamed by that need and the vulnerability that inherently comes with it. So we avoid it, project that shame onto others, convince ourselves its toughness and continue the cycle.

That we not good grammer.

That we aren't sentimental.

That we get instantly turned on just by looking a beautiful woman.


Women forget that we also need mental stimulation to feel attraction. My ex thought she could act however she wanted towards me and that I would get over it instantly and be able to do it with her because she was beautiful.


And honestly looks without connection mean nothing to me.

That they're good at being president after 75 yrs old.

That we don't need emotional support and appreciation, or to be asked how we are doing once in a while.

That we are all dumb and emotionless.

They don't cry.

We don't notice things about our SO.

Laziness. TV loves to perpetuate laziness among men but that's just not true among any of my guy friends. I think it comes up because priorities are different between men and women. The only guy I know who watches football "all day" is the busiest man I know the other 6 days of the week. Some time for family and some for work, and then a good bulk of hours one day for himself.

Circumcision is harmless.

100% myth everyone in a “gender” is the same

No one is the same and you better get used to it, I.e. treat everyone as an individual.

That we like collecting rocks. They're minerals, Marie!!!

Men can't raise children. I raised two, both graduated High School a year early.
