So... if I didn't complain ever... would that make my boyfriend gay?

Being a man = Not being a pussy who bitches about every little thing. Fairly simple stuff.

I can guarantee you that anybody who complains about "bitching" wouldn't call it that if they personally agreed with the subject.

There's depression and there's whining. Which is more applicable to IJBM?

No more expressing any emotion that isn't lust, rage, or pride, guys.

Shouldn't being a real man be someone who isn't insecure, isn't afraid of looking after himself and is just generally a decent person? What's all this "GET SOME NUTS" shit?

Bitching: Whining constantly about small things that don't warrant the attention you give them
Complaining: Whining about things that merit attention.

Complain all you want, just quit bitching. Now that I think about it, this goes for women too.

Shouldn't being a "real man" carry no weight whatsoever?

^^^ That's the thing: you're no judge as to whether or not something warrants complaints. No one is.

Post 30: I think that's what is the root of what Kino is trying to say. Stop being so damn insecure, take responsibility for yourself, fix your own damn problems, or at least be open to advice that requires work and takes you out of your comfort zone. Things will still bother you, but you won't be so inclined to bitch about it. Have initiative and try to fix your problem before you cry "It's hopeless! Somebody please feel sorry for me!"

^^Doesn't that apply to women as well? Oh, hold on! Only women are allowed to have a good cry about things, sorry!
