Not that anon, but the OP image is the opposite of soft boy. Literally an Olympian who's trained (and you can go as far to say sacrifice) countless amounts of hours to his craft.

Being incapable of handling emotion properly is not something to be glorified.

Correct. That's why these compensating, insecure, pseudo-machos should be called out before they continue to lash out against others due to their ressentiment.

>> No.11340908

Overly vulnerable and emotional men are just as bad as overly macho men. They're both improper ways of handling/expressing emotion.

I don't disagree. But I see no reason to view an Olympic gold medalist ice skater as some form of weak failed man because he doesn't fit into some autist's image of an ideal man.

>> No.11340922

>>11340913
I never said the man in the image was weak. Did you not read my other posts? It's just that he has the appearance of what many people idealize as a 'soft boy'. It reminded me of it, and that is why I made that post. It wasn't about appearance, but personality. Which can't be known in either way from an image.

one time the gayest man I've ever met looked at me sort of despondently and asked if he wasn't really gay because he thought women were pretty.
I laughed in his face. Look, my dude, appreciating the aesthetics of a person does not equate to sexual attraction. If you're not gay, don't worry about it.
