It matters what your heart is inside.
It matters more what to do with your life. Not how u look in life.

Sadly this isn't true. In a nation where the average length is 6'1/6'2 being anything under 6 is just setting things up to fail regardless.

As for my heart. If it wasn't for the heart failure i doubt i'd even have one. I broke up with my last relationship while she was in the hospital following an attempted suicide. Which she blamed me for (Borderline is one hell of a thing). I still feel guilty for that, but if i reconnect i know i'll only be taken advantage of.

I know have been feeling terrible for a very long time but have u recently changed meds at all?

Not been on meds for some time, went through liver failure, renal failure, heart failure (all due to different anti depressants so was taken off all of them) still using an anti-psychotic but all that does is give me migraines and a dry mouth (to the point of bleeding). I've been in treatment for 8 years now, 8 bloody years. And i feel no difference.

Plus i can't change my physical characteristics can i now? I mean i've been refused jobs over my body length (5'8) lost two relationships over it. Went as far as considering that freaky leg extension surgery.

I don't recognize my own face anymore, it's like a psycho looking back at me every time i stare into the mirror, my eyes are cold. Murderous even.

I have no one left to talk to as like i said, my closest contacts have passed away. And for as much family as i have left they either don't understand, consider psychosis / severe depression a weakness / punishment or cut ties because "i'm a burden to them".

The latter i honestly agree with, i have no place in this world. I'll either derail and kill someone someday. Or i'll just cost the taxpayer money in healthcare. Either way, we're better off without me.

Yes, let's storm a classified ACTIVE military installation. What's the worst that can happen?

Besides:
-Snipers.
-Machine gun fire.
-Fighter / bomber strikes.
-Drone strikes.
-Attacks by assault vehicles.
-Possible minefields.

Sounds like a great idea!

Bloody idiots the lot of them.

is chivalry really dead?

I hate to be a pain here, but chivalry died the moment jousting did. (It was a unwritten set of rules and mannerisms between combatants) Gallantry however appears to be quickly dying out as well. Though this is not exclusively men's fault. More often than not as of late when i try to do what I've been raised to do (keep doors open for others, help others up, volunteer to assist to carry heavy stuff. You know, all the cliches) i get met with damning looks or flat out accusations of harassment, which makes it hard to not grow fully bitter quickly.

Not a single thank you in the past two years is really beginning to take effect. I've not had bad experiences with cashiers over here, they all seem friendly (to me at least).

Generally speaking though, the reason i'm still here is A: I have family that depends on me and B: Nature can be breathtakingly beautiful. I am however quickly losing all interest and care in humanity, it's hard to put the finger on the exact sore spot but people just seem more distant and distrustful, even just flat out mean/spiteful to one another than before.

Still though in regards to said humanity, and society... i honestly think this is in a deeply ill state at the moment. I hope it'll heal someday again.

You still haven't said where you live, but even here in the US, it isn't about being anti-male AT ALL... It's about being anti-pervert. And I'm pretty sure that no matter where women are from, most don't want unwelcome attention, or to be *****raped, or otherwise assaulted. You should probably stick to speaking for perverts, because you're not only completely unqualified to speak for women, but you aren't very good at it either!

Ad hominem. Beautiful.

...why would we men bother with them at all?

Don't then! Just stop trying! There's plenty of good men to go around (even for other men who just aren't into women, such as yourself). We'd rather not be "bothered" by the rest of them... which is the whole point!

I still have my hope in Eastern European women. They haven't been completely intoxicated with anti-male hatred "yet".

Why?

Isn't the way to end harm to address the harm? Ignoring, denying, covering up only leads to more.

Given there's no repercussions for false accusations and a woman can ruin your life in one word here I honestly see no way relations will restore in the near future.

And as long as a woman's word has more value than a man's life why would we "as men" bother with them at all?

And now that women have true equality here they're steadily starting to realise how much it sucks.

#metoo was a weapon. An awakening that no woman can truly be fully trusted "in the legal sense". So the way we interact with one another has changed. It has become hostile and it will remain as such.

Regarding primarily women:
The issue regarding repercussions is the most difficult part of it all though. From one side you could send a false accuser to jail for a long time, from the other you also don't want to scare actual victims away from reporting it.

Regarding men however:
Since #metoo took off the amount of accusations has grown over 10x. This on it's own wouldn't be a problem if the law worked. However many who have been acquitted still lost their family (divorce) still lost their jobs, still lost their integrity. Which can be seen in the male suicide number... Which has damn near tripped in the past two years. (Now nr 1 cause of death amongst men ages 18-50) (second being cancer and third cardiovascular issues) it would be nice if innocent until proven guilty was anything more than hollow words.
