Men don’t need therapy, they just need a mother they can sleep with. Got it.
I don’t need therapy or a women. I need cock.
This is what alpha incels really believe.
Oh yeah, all those battles I fight are super draining. Like when I’ve had an hour long meeting with Greg from Accounting and he just doesn’t understand.
After all that, I absolutely need a soft caring feminine woman to look after me and restore my energy with some intimacy. Because I am *so* manly and masculine.
Can Partners help EACH OTHER through hard times, caring for each other, restoring each others Energy and provide a sage space? Absolutely yes.
But first, its not a replacement for therapy, but can provide you stability to see it througn
The EACH OTHER part is the most important, its not a womans job, its a partners job.
How very masculine! Men don’t need therapists, they just need a ‘soft, motherly woman’ to recharge their energy after a hard day of fighting battles! 🫠 Ah yes, that classic 19th-century mentality where men are ‘warriors’ and women are ’emotional caretakers’.
Oh, good grief… the only “battle” most of these “alpha warriors” fight in a day is losing the good spot in the Target parking lot.
Even in the military, in an active combat zone, literally nobody is like, “Man those were some tough battles today”.
This is the kind of guy that when they find out you were in the military immediately start telling you all about how they were going to join too but…
The concept… isn’t bad. Intimacy, connection, relationships can absolve **a lot** of the need to have a stranger listen to your problems. Working them out with someone you care about is just as, if not more effective.
… the *execution* makes me realize I really don’t wanna give credence to his idea.
The waxing poetic tone really gets to me.
Dude’s had some kind of groundbreaking, incredible insight into the nature of existence….
Funny thing is the first thing most men tell their therapist is “I wish my wife and I had sex more”.
Tbh I would rather be with someone who genuinely cares about me than with someone who only pretends to for money
I’m more disturbed by the amount of people who think a woman being supportive to her man is being his mother. Seriously wtf. I’ve been in relationships where women told me about their issues and I tried to help (physically, emotionally, financially) as much as I could. By the logic of these malcontents, I wasn’t being a good partner. I was a substitute father. Ew!
what “battles” is this dude fighting
if you cant be vulnerable with your partner tho who can you be vulnerable with i understand men need therapists but its not like men should be just be hiding their feelings from their partner.
Women aren’t free therapy
Men need to find out for themselves what they need instead of being told what turd burglars feel men should need.
Men, women, trans, non binary need freedom of choice.
Hahaha from all the battles fought that day? Dang where should I have lunch? Did I send that report? Traffic was a beyotch! Oh crap Mom made an awful dinner I’m going to order pizza!
Actually men do need help.
I can’t tell you how much money I’ve saved on therapy and women with only my left hand, my right hand, or both hands.
This “deconstruct_everything” motherfucker associates intimacy with mothering.
I’d like to point out women are also fighting battles, mostly started by men against them. And yet we’re not put here killing people and demanding intimacy.
It would indeed be nice with some intimacy, but perhaps not with my Mom
why tf would someone need therapy from a stranger who’s just sucking upall your money you pay them, just deal with it

Men need a nurturing bangmaid who never complains 🙄
Nice try, these “manly” men need to step up their game and become men who are *equal* participants in life.
Men don’t need therapists, or cooks, or house cleaners or babysitters or prostitutes….
Picking fights at the Walmart is hard work.
Does that woman need to be called Jocasta?
Is a mother not also a wife
While a partner is no replacement for a qualified therapist…. sometimes that’s all you have. Many people cannot afford therapy and don’t have insurance coverage. In those situations, people usually recommend that they talk to friends and loved ones about what they are going through.
How is that describing a mother figure and not a wife?
Battles? What are we doing? Fighting dragons? Roving hoards pilfering our lands? Complaining to Bob in accounts receivable that my wife’s been burning the lasagna? How fucking soft are you alexnroberto?
I do think it’s interesting that women want a SO that is caring, kind, nurturing, a good listener and part of their support group. But when men want those things it’s “Men should support other men” “who am I, your mom?” “You need therapy”
I’m not saying this as some gotcha or Incel type thing. It’s just interesting how differently men are treated than women in the exact same circumstance.
I know what Type of guys this is talking about and agrees, but therapy wont Full that void either
Maybe it’s just me, but both people’s gross generalization bothers me.
Plenty of men and women don’t need therapy (at this point in their lives), because life is going well-enough and they have good support structures from their inner self, their partner, friends, and/or family. When trouble hits (of the sort they are dealing with now), they are equipped to handle it.
Other people do need professional therapy (at this point in their life), because right now they are having trouble dealing with stress, depression, grief, anger, trauma, personal life issues, professional life issues, addiction, etc and need extra professional help guiding them through issues. They see what they are doing and want to make a change, but aren’t satisfied with their own progress towards it.
Neither group should be criticized for seeking out or not seeking out therapy; or changing to the other group when they things get to be too much (or when they get to a stable place in their life).
Women don’t need a husbands, they need daddies lol
*views the interaction of modern daily life as “battles”
(And I’m sure themselves as some kind of warrior) is almost more troubling than the mommy issues
“Me man. Me strong. Me no need help. Me fight battles. Women must satisfy me needs.”
While I disagree with what men *need* it would be awesome if people didn’t belittle the struggles men face throughout the day.
Hey Mr. Alex, should I wear a fur onesie while I’m at it? Maybe a Tactical camo pacifier?
That said, it is actually proven that therapy doesn’t work nearly as well for men as it does for women and that it can also often make it worse. Therapy was mostly designed for women.
EDIT: Classic Reddit. Being downvoted for stating an easily verifyable fact just because it doesn’t suit the popular narrative. Therapy is great and all but it’s really not the perfect miracle cure some people think it is.
Alex’s battles are him larping in a local park by himself.
