Men's Liberation

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.


Rules

Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people


Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.



Be productive


Be proactive in forming a productive discussion. Constructive criticism of our community is fine, but if you mainly criticize feminism or other people's efforts to solve gender issues, your post/comment will be removed.

Keep the following guidelines in mind when posting:

  • Build upon the OP
  • Discuss concepts rather than semantics
  • No low effort comments
  • No personal attacks


Assume good faith


Do not call other submitters' personal experiences into question.



No bigotry


Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.



No brigading


Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.

To be charming as a guy, consider these tips:

  1. Good Hygiene: Maintain proper personal hygiene, including daily showers and dental care.

  2. Active Listening: Pay attention when people talk to you, ask questions, and show genuine interest in their thoughts and feelings.

  3. Body Language: Be aware of your body language and maintain open, approachable posture.

  4. Socialize: Engage in social activities, join clubs, attend events, and meet new people.

  5. Flirting: Practice light-hearted banter and conversation skills with everyone, not just those you're interested in romantically.

  6. Respect Boundaries: Avoid making anyone feel uncomfortable by respecting their personal space and boundaries.

  7. Be Confident: Confidence is attractive, but don't come across as arrogant.

  8. Compliments: Give sincere compliments when appropriate, but don't overdo it.

  9. Empathy: Show empathy and understanding towards others' perspectives and experiences.

  10. Be a Good Listener: Remember details about people's lives and interests, and use this information in future conversations.

  11. Take Initiative: Don't be afraid to initiate conversations or ask someone out, but do so respectfully.

  12. Stay Positive: Maintain a positive attitude and avoid negative or offensive topics.

Remember, charm comes from being genuine and considerate, so be yourself while striving to make meaningful connections with others.
