i would like to see more men form closer friendships with each other where they feel comfortable enough to be emotionally vulnerable. i think it’ll make a huge difference in the whole male loneliness epidemic thing they’re talking about.

Kindness towards strangers, an openness for conversation, being understanding and good at listening.

Emotional awareness and regulation. For example: anger. It’s ok and good to get mad sometimes, but learn to deal with it in a healthy, non-explosive way. In my experience, if men have volatile emotions and don’t figure out how to deal with them, it’s only a matter of time before it’s taken out on their partner, sometimes physically

Calling out behavior in other people: jokes, unwanted behavior, comments, etc,… the truth is men don’t respect women the way they respect other men, If at all. Men need to be more serious about holding their friends, family, and even strangers accountable.

Caring about overall appearance, having their own personal sense of style, showing warranted and unwarranted kindness to others (saying please and holding the door open), being a good listener, open to conversation, giving others personal space, offer to help others in need in public

But in general, and not JUST towards women, definitely increase in mental healthcare. Be there for each other, be open minded for each other, and less telling each other to “man up” or that it’s “weak” to be vulnerable and have emotions other than anger. It’s okay to feel the emotions that come with being human, because you are human.
