i was thinking last night about how sad it is that the main content out there for our young men to consume is basically reactionary dumbasses interviewing celebs or athletes or whatever. i was thinking it would be cool if a podcast existed that was just like regular dudes and getting their thoughts on masculinity, the family, relationships etc

the types of topics young men might be interested in and look to their fathers for guidance but not everyone has that, or some fathers are shitheads

is there anything like that out there? and if not would anyone be interested in recording some interviews and seeing if its any good?

i was thinking about trying to come up with like 3-4 questions to start as a template to ask everyone then following the conversation and seeing where it goes from there

i also just had a high abv beer and have adhd so i might never follow up on this lol

    Also I guess my point originally was to emphasize that men frustrated with a lack of companionship/relationships and searching for “answers” are almost definitely in need of learning to be a good person first.

    Yeah I agree too, like “learning to be a good person” as in making sure you’re not going to be abusive/violent/manipulative to your partner? I think everyone should learn this regardless of whether they are in a relationship or not tbh.

      Also just not objectifying your partner but seeing them as fully human. The amount of men that lack this skill is baffling, but it’s a direct consequence of a patriarchal society (here referring to the broad phenomenon, not all specific individuals)
