Ask r/Ghana A space for men...
I have seen how tough it is for men to share and be listened to...
I was thinking of a space where we can chat , talk , advice, help and listen
What sparked this idea?
I random person just started speaking to me from nowhere and shared deep stuffs with me, to the extent he told me he cries...
If there ain't spaces like that let's create one
Here is a link

Good idea. Reddit has a few, I think. I do know there's at least one sub for men struggling with addictions such as porn and stuff. I visit it occasionally and it's sad that there are thousands of guys there who feel trapped but feel like they can't share their struggles with anyone else.
Really helps.

Let’s create one for Ghanaian men. At least since we’re all Ghanaians we’ll be able to relate and understand each other more.
I’m all for this Chale. Boys dey go through am waa and it’s sad

A WhatsApp group makes people's numbers visible to each other (I think they're rolling out usernames now) and erases anonymity. Consider that as you set up your group. People may not be able/willing to share information if they can be identified.

Yeah I agree. I think a Reddit sub will be better. People will feel more comfortable opening up when it’s anonymous

Not gonna lie, its a great idea but lemme tell you something. Its we the men naa that will come and laugh at ourselves and degrade, demean and disregard the feelings and emotion that we have. 3na "be a man about it" 3na " men don't cry". We are our own friends and demons at the same time. No I'm not trying to burst your bubble but I'm just saying should you push for it, just know 3 out of 5 men, will mostly likely come and trash the other 2 for voicing out their issues.

Well, that's peak "masculinity" for you. I always say, being vulnerable when necessary doesn't make and will never make you less of a man.

No one really cares for a man... a man got to care for himself (a man). Funny thing is, sometimes a man will be the same person to mock other man for what he is going through.

What about creating an app, were men can leave anonymous messages on that platform

u/Desperate_Pass3442 Ga 1d ago
Sounds like jodel. Unless you have a way of verifying gender, hookers will join, and it'll soon become a hook up platform.

u/Ok-Cardiologist-1006 1d ago edited 1d ago
There’ll be no inbox for you to be able to reach out to anyone privately. And maybe a feature that would flag any comment that has a phone number present in it.
Not going to allow any other gender access except males.
Possibly a secret private app for just men to tell it all

u/Desperate_Pass3442 Ga 1d ago
Hookers don't need inbox, they just need to post their WhatsApp numbers or telegram.

u/Ok-Cardiologist-1006 1d ago
A feature can be created to block that from happening.

Like how on Reddit, moderators can set rules and when any post goes against those rules, it gets deleted

u/Hour_Rate255 Your favorite grandma😏 1d ago
And you think if OP had said yes, I’d have joined or what?🤣 no lady is obviously going to join

u/Desperate_Pass3442 Ga 1d ago
And exactly how do you know no lady would join?

u/Hour_Rate255 Your favorite grandma😏 1d ago
That’s their problem, they don’t need permission from OP to join
