ADVICE

Validate Male Vulnerability

  • Allow men to cry and create safe moments for emotional release.
  • Validate vulnerability by getting down to their level and saying it’s okay to feel pain.
INSIGHT

Masculinity Isn’t One-Dimensional

  • Hyper-masculinity often equates manhood with only strength and aggression.
  • That narrow definition limits emotional range and presence in relationships.
ADVICE

Listen When Men Say “I’m Tired”

  • When a man says he is tired, listen and give him space to rest.
  • Treat emotional exhaustion like a signal, not a weakness to be pushed through.
