  • It doesn’t imply pain of walking on crushed egg shells. It implies walking such that you don’t crack the shell. “Eggs” by itself doesn’t imply the shell (like some people might think scrambled eggs or whatever). The consequence of not treading with care is crushing the fragile eggshell, or in real terms, emotionally sensitive individuals cracking really easily. Feeling like walking on eggshells is simply stating that you feel the need to practice unreal levels of caution.

    I’m trying really hard to not reduce the issue to “women won’t have sex with me” but the responses are flooded with this general sentiment.

    I think some guys suffer from mental illness and don’t have support from the people around them and things like male privilege can diminish their perceived suffering. Even so, I rarely see men actually talk about it.

    Like, only on places like 4chan people are brave enough to spew whatever shit’s on their mind and I’ll tell you that while they can be the minority in a lot of regards, there is something sincere in their unfiltered, crude language that really helps me understand it a little. A lot of it does feel like whinning about sexlessness, but sometimes they make a point and actually talk about their suffering.

    It seems like men are desperate for sex and, in pursuit, find grifters who peddle them conservatism. These are the type of people that come to my mind when we talk about it.
