Hello Aunts

I have one general question on the forum.

Why do only women post questions here ? why so less questions being raised here by Men?.

what are the thoughts on this. I know it is complex question and not a single and easy answer.

Do the men do not prefer to share the pains and problems to others?

Or Men are problem free in the world? God has not given them any pains and problem?

Illithid agony auntI don't know if that's entirely fair. I've posted multiple questions myself, and have been going through enough problems lately to warrant a few more if I could find a way to phrase things. But remember that men are taught from early on not to cry, not to complain, not to ask help or even directions when lost, to just be strong and silent and self-sufficient. That doesn't mean we don't hurt. It just means that when we hurt, we have nowhere to turn. But trust me: We hurt, a lot.

GettingInYourBizness agony auntI wish more guys posted about deep relationship issues, lots of times when I'm scrolling for interesting questions, I'm specifically looking for and more likely to read the blue (m) ones.

But like a lot of posters mention, lots of guys aren't into "talking" about it

A degree of truth in most of the replies below. And, you know, maybe women (or a fairly sensitive type of male) are just that bit more likely to be interested in a website of this nature, where you can natter away to your heart's content about interpersonal issues. If you log onto Football365, I don't doubt you'll find that most of the posts are submitted by men. Not exactly strange, when you think about it.

A female reader, VenaCava Indonesia +, writes (31 July 2010):

VenaCava agony auntBoth men and women have problems.

Suicide rate for male citizen in some countries are twice or thrice those of women.

One of my friend who works as a shrink ever told me that most of her patients are females, but many of her hardest cases (usually involving failed suicide/homicide attempts) are those of male patients.

It is as if males keep their frustration inside and stew over them for long before they realized that they DON’T need to do it alone, there are many people out there who would love to help.

Sometimes they don’t even tell their best buddy about their problem, until it’s too late. So please be attentive to all of your friends and family, whether they are males of females.

olderthandirt agony auntAlas,miamine is right on the money. The questions men ask on this site are mostly misogynitic or steeped in low self esteem over penis size. i relate to the later but if you all have read my responses to questions of the misogyny nature you know i tend to lean towards fairly well blasting them for their insensitivity except relating to porn. Porn is a different catagory in itself so I don't blast their comments there. but in relationship, sex or marriage problems if a male is "off base" I'll tend to call him out as a phoney or an insensitive b*****d. but yeh men don't ask very many deep questions. W're not wired to think that way whereas women tend to comunicate men try to solve problems or just stay silent about the real issues they wrestle with. And dats da truth as i see it

RAINORFIRE agony aunthmmm i think women just have more problems... women think more.. most of the problems women have and ask adivce on a man wouldnt ask or need advice for... like how to choose between two women a man will just choose both. I dont think men pretend problems dont exists i think where just better at accepting things.. theres things i could probably ask for advice on but advice doesnt change the situation it just gives you more insight into the problem.. sometimes.. plus i feel im smarter then most people so if i cant figure it out who could

A female reader, Miamine United Kingdom +, writes (31 July 2010):

Miamine agony auntThere are many men who ask questions on this site. Men's problems seem to be about the size of their penis, or how to get rid of jealousy over their partners past. We also have a lot of questions from men who want to find out how to be more confident and how to get women to like them. Many men are in difficult marriages and ask for help on how to cope with a ill or selfish wife....

Many, many questions are submitted by men. But yes women use this site the most, probably because men are very good a pretending problems don't really exist.

olderthandirt agony auntYes, God gave me my share of pain and heartbreak but it's not in my makeup to ask for advice... We men were raised to be problem solvers not problem cry-babies. trite? maybe but my response is as from the heart as I can explain in 90 words or less.

A male reader, CaringGuy United Kingdom +, writes (31 July 2010):

Main, basically, don't like to talk about problems as much as women. They internalize their problems. That's why there is more male depression and more male suicide. We don't talk as much, we don't have the friendships that women have, we don't have as many outlets and society frequently says we can't talk.

A female reader, Dr.Ski United Kingdom +, writes (31 July 2010):

Women are more emotional, When something happens too a man, he is more likely just too take it on the chest. but with all the constant hormones in a woman, such as her period, then she is less likely too be able too cope with her own situation's.
