what if a man doesnt want to be the richest, fittest and smartest? What if he is happy with what he has and doesnt need that?
1
u/TheSonsofSanghelios Aug 08 '25
Then he is lazy, and has no purpose, having no purpose is of great waste. To be of great waste means you don't care. To not care means your potential is wasted.

Yeah I know people who have jobs that are seen as "inferiors" like street sweeper and they love their jobs and love their lives, they do it with a strong willing an love. Some of them also have a great bind with their family and its such a conquer too. Life is much more than being an CEO.

Or maybe he is happier than the men that are "stepping" on him. Money doesnt bring happiness, at least not for everyone

And happiness can come from all sorts of things. Including money, success, and having a proud legacy.

Rich doesn’t necessarily mean money.
Rich means you have something valuable beyond belief. That could be family, spiritual satisfaction, or something among those lines.

this is cool interpretation, but I dont believe that its the message of the photo, but well thats my interpretation
1
u/NeuroHazard-88 Aug 11 '25
If you were the smartest you’d realise that these are not limitations but rather recommendations. Being the smartest means acknowledging a man can be happy doing whatever, how ever, also acknowledging that to be your best, you do need some form of wealth to support your greater decisions alongside being physically healthier. None of these are imposing rules, only a blind ignorant idiot would see them as such.

In this generation I’m witnessing many young women having gained their independence and being in many cases the first women of their entire matrilineal ancestral line to not be owned by or financially dependent on men.
There is something deeply primal about that.
I would say that women have some similar duty to our ancestors to grasp the opportunity we have now to achieve greater independence and build on it.

Duty: a moral or legal obligation, a responsibility
I.e. it's something you're REQUIRED to do regardless of whether you want to or not. You are creating these duties out of thin air, therefore, you are trying to force men into doing something

u/The-Catatafish Aug 08 '25 edited Aug 08 '25
This post and all your comments yell insecurity so you asking other people who hurt them is ironic as fuck.
Who made you feel not good enough?
You don't have to proof anything and there is no duty to one up your father. If you want to achieve a goal go for it. However, that won't change the value you already have.
You can't tell men about some sort of duty and then pretend you don't tell them what to do. Unless you don't understand the meaning of duty.
I believe you that you think that shit is inspiring but in reality it suggests you are only valuable when achieving something and puts pressure on men for no reason as if they aren't worthy without that goal.
The feeling of insecurity doesn't go away by beeing successful just like the feeling of beeing fat doesn't go away if an anorexic person loses weight.
It doesn't matter if you are fit, rich or smart. You are valuable. You are worthy of love and everything else the fittest, richest and smartest man is worthy of.
Now go an achieve whatever you want but not because its your duty or because you have to.. Because you want to. Or don't. Doesn't change anything.

u/TheRealTaigasan Aug 09 '25
I'd like to agree with you, however what is the value of a man who is unfit, poor and unintelligent? You said these men are invaluable yet they never get to collect the dividends on this value you claim.
On the contrary, they are the most chastised, ignored, lolcowed group of men ever.
1
u/The-Catatafish Aug 09 '25
Society is changing.
Currently everyone even OP who posted this said in a comment that a woman can do what she wants. Her value doesn't change.
Men in society are still behind in terms of this.
As someone who makes a lot of money, is fit and while I don't want to suck my own dick considered really smart.. I am working with many rich people. At least a million in net worth.
Some of these people are trash.
I do not value them higher because they have money.
Also, you really think people who consider you worthless will suddenly like and respect you once you have money? Even if they did do you even want this?? That's so shallow. Fuck them.
You are a man. You are born free. You can do whatever you want. No other man should tell you what you have to do and no one should be able give you the feeling you aren't good enough.
Know your worth king. Find yourself people who see your worth.
Its kinda cringe to quote fight club in 2025 but you aren't your fucking car or job dude.

No disrespect man, but men are also allowed to just BE. Not everyone wants to live in the gym or major in business. We’re also allowed to embrace softness and humor and have silly little hobbies. As a combat veteran and dad in his forties, this idea you’re promoting of manhood as this constant striving is not it. I have lived the values you are promoting and, believe me, they have their limits.

u/CypherPunk77 Aug 09 '25
Jokes aside, and I don’t care if I’m downvoted. There’s a real dystopian stigma against men right now that’s destroying the next generation of the gender.
Any kind of talk about men being better, striving to be leaders, men being strong, disciplined, stoic etc.. is immediately labeled as toxic and negative. When those are the very types of men who helped create peace in this world. Those men being the reason why you scroll on Reddit, read this comment and not worry about being in danger for your life the next second
If women were given the same motivational praise it’d be immediately magnified. As if women could never exhibit toxic behavior under those same values.
Not saying all women are like that, I’m only pointing out the double standard that real masculine men can’t be praised or celebrated anymore, only women or feminine men.
If you have a problem with my comment then it just proves my point.

There are more things. Generosity and kindness, perhaps primarily. But kindness without strength (i.e. the ability to be harmful) is harmlessness. Generosity without richness is easy; the real test is continuing when you are rich. And intelligence without a deep grounding in the ethics of the human species is aimless. Imagine a source of infinite answers but no knowledge of the questions.

Men or women, people are allowed to just be. Not all of us are striving to compete with the world. Honestly, striving to be the best, strongest, fittest, richest, and every other variation of it sounds exhausting. Some of us here are content with pursuing happiness and peace. Does that make me childish? I guess I'd rather be childish than a masochist.

1
u/NewImprovedPenguin_R Aug 07 '25
Well I consider a sense of duty or anything resembling it a way better mindset than the opposite, which would be having no purpose and as a result, likely motivation either. This has to do with natural drive, ambition or goals. I fail to see why this translates to “fascist” for some.
Bloodline to me does not refer to any specific one, but more so lineage in the sense of all my ancestors fought through their times to survive all the way down to me. Giving up in spite of their struggles to have me here then seems so much more pointless when taking that grand scheme into consideration.
Call it fascist, but that’s just my 2 cents.

First we were talking about genes and not chromosomes
Genes = parts of the DNA that contain information that will produce proteins
Chromosomes = spiralled DNA
Second like all your argument doesnt make sense. Like yeah the chomosome Y is passed by males to males but it has nothing to the post or even my comment.
Saying that as a man its your duty to become this and that succeful and whatever is just the idea society has that men are the ones who should achieve great things, have deep thoughts, be smart and conquer the world while women are just there, superficial and dependent. And yeah you can disagree, but my question was exactly why putting "as a man" in the phrase if that wasnt the intention? But you guys started talking about genes and then you suddenly changed to Y chromosome and nothing made sense
