⚝ TekNo aEvl ⚝<p>“I’m sorry if I fall short as a boyfriend sometimes… I’m over here teaching myself how to be a man.” 💭<br>A lot of men aren’t cold. They aren’t heartless. They aren’t incapable of love. They’re just learning on the fly.<br>Many of us weren’t shown how to be a good partner.<br>We weren’t taught how to love properly.<br>We weren’t given a manual on how to express emotions without looking weak.<br>🔹 We learned independence before we learned vulnerability.<br>🔹 We learned survival before we learned love.<br>🔹 We learned how to take on the world before we learned how to let someone in.<br>So if I fall short, if I don’t always know how to show up perfectly, it’s not because I don’t care. It’s because I’m still figuring it out.<br>🔥 Real men aren’t born—they’re built.<br>💡 And growth takes time.<br>A little patience, a little understanding, and a woman who sees the effort can make all the difference. Because teaching yourself how to be a man while trying to love someone right? That’s a war most men fight silently.</p><p><a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Manhood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Manhood</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=LoveAndLessons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoveAndLessons</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=EmotionalMaturity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmotionalMaturity</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=BecomingBetter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BecomingBetter</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Masculinity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Masculinity</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Relationships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Relationships</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Healing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Healing</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=RealMen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RealMen</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=SelfImprovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfImprovement</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Vulnerability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vulnerability</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=EmotionalGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmotionalGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Patience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Patience</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=Understanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Understanding</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=MenMatter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MenMatter</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=StrongNotSilent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StrongNotSilent</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=LoveTakesWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoveTakesWork</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=PersonalGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=LearningToLove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LearningToLove</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=exposed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exposed</span></a> <a href="https://www.urbanmind.net/search?tag=aEvl+us" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aEvl us</span></a></p>

Peter DiazLocal resident Jibber Prevalia exclaims, “hugs are for sissies,” after witnessing a father hugging his son. When asked to elaborate on the matter, Mr. Prevalia went on to say, “behavior like that is what’s making our young men weak. I miss the good old days, where the only hugging that place was a firm, two-handed grip on a man’s shoulder before he was shoved into a lake to learn how to swim—or into a job to learn how to work.<br> <br> Mr. Prevalia, a self-proclaimed expert in “real toughness,” lamented the erosion of traditional values, recalling a childhood where affection was best expressed through a respectful nod, a stiff handshake, or a well-timed punch to the arm.<br> <br> “When I was a boy,” he continued, adjusting his belt with unnecessary aggression, “my father never hugged me. Instead, he’d tell me, ‘Son, the world’s a cold place, and the only warmth you’ll ever feel is from the fire you start yourself—or from the friction of your calloused hands.’ And look at me now! Perfectly well-adjusted.”<br> <br> When asked if he had any children of his own, Mr. Prevalia scoffed. “Of course not. But if I did, I’d raise ‘em right—with discipline, grit, and absolutely zero unnecessary body contact. Maybe a firm pat on the back if they cured polio or something.”<br> <br> At press time, Mr. Prevalia was seen attempting to suppress a single tear after a particularly moving insurance commercial featuring a dog reunited with its owner.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/satire?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#satire</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/menshealth?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#menshealth</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mentalhealth?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mentalhealth</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hugs?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hugs</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/hugsarethebest?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hugsarethebest</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/manhood?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#manhood</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/realmen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#realmen</a>
