Need more positive masculinity. Like what you see? Ask about it and learn from them

It's a sign of the times that this is upvoted so much. When I was growing up, this was called normal behavior and was boring and nobody talked about it.

Not hating or anything, but it's always dude that dk TV mounting that are like this.

Racist post

I had a plumber once, older guy, who was really eager to teach somebody the trade. He "made" me do half the work and I didn't even mind because I learned how to do a lot of shit I didn't know how to do before.

Be coachable in life and you will be surprised the info you can get from qualified people for free.

Also if you are handy you always have a fallback job if your 9 to 5 shitcans you unexpectedly.

All these people in the comments complaining that the bar isn't level when the picture is just taken from a slight side angle? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ literal perspective problem 😂

Also people being like "lol no such thing as a TV-bar-hanger-contractor"..... Audio/video contractors of course do this??? Like, who said its the only thing their job entails?? 😂

True kings fix each other's crowns.

Who notices that someone is better at mounting tvs? How does one notice this? What is this made up scenario?

My step-brother and I weren't family until a decade ago. He goes into incel mode and projects his insecurity by hating on everybody.

But today, he shared this with me about something he wants to get better at as he was getting tired of being angry all the time.

So hopefully this message gets across to more people.

We all need community

Everyone better than me is inspiration

Nice message, but the thought of the existence of a competitive scene of contractors specializing in mounting TVs is hilarious. Also, that mounting plate is crooked af.

I think asking is the part that's hard to work on. Most people love to help eachother out, but the "self sufficiency" mindset holds is back from asking eachother.

Two Kings in that post!

That bar is not straight i hate it.

Imagine how much more common this positive vibe would be if people wouldn’t need to spend at least 1/3 of their life trying to meet ends in competitive environment

Can't tell if that mount is way off-level or not. Based on the floor moulding, it looks like it's lower on the left than right. OCD = triggered

Weird that someone could see someone being better than them at something so their first thought is to "hate on them" rather than respecting them

It's not terribly active but there's !mensliberation@lemmy.ca

I'm a labourer; I take pride in my work, I am always learning, and I am very pleasant to others. Meanwhile financialised capital markets ruin the world while making the rich even richer. And there's no way mounting televisions is paying well enough to own your own house anymore. So if that's where positive masculinity will get you nowadays, it doesn't surprise me that young men are frantically casting about for an alternative. The real problem is the logic of capital.

Sure, we need more positive masculinity, but problem is, same "empowered" women shaming men for it, i mean, i am man and with my friends I'm very very close, supportive, and kind, every time "empowered" women see it, they shame the fuck out of you, if your don't show healthy positive masculinity and closing off, then you get shamed again, if you try to become independent of others opinions and be healthy positive yourself then you get shamed again, there's simply no winning this, you gotta accept that some people, men women, elderly, peers, will hate you no matter what, until you accept this simple fact deep into your soul, and start loving yourself and living for yourself, you can't truthfully be positive and healthy masculine man, speaking from personal experience
