Real Men don't ask for Directions! Real Men don't need Blueprints! Real Men eat Meat! So Suck it Up Princess! Women want Real Men, not Weenies! Women want Beer Swilling Back Hair, Couch Farting Pigs. A Whipped Man and his Girlfriend will soon be parted. God gave you Nuts, use em or lose em!
Women want a protector, not a grief counselor!
They say "Married" Men Die Earlier, but then it's because they want to!
Stuart as he is today! Is this what Women Want?

Men are becoming more willing to talk about emotional problems like depression, but many refuse to seek help in the form of medication, say researchers who are looking into how ideas about masculinity are affecting male health.
Several studies are being done by researchers at the University of British Columbia.
"We're looking at men's health in a new way, by trying to understand some of men's health behaviour in relation to masculinity," Joan Bottorff, a professor in UBC's school of nursing, said Thursday.

Men are smart now to fall for the anti-depressant scenerio...all they do is make you fat, numb you, but make you do impulsive things. Women would be smart not to take them.
I don't want men to change tooo much. I still like a man who opens the door for me...however, he COULD do the dishes every now and then, lol.
This is funny.

And that's when they are not placebos. The best therapy IS talking. It can even cure schizofrenia. Medication only atenuates the symptoms, it does not get rid of the problem. Having had a brother who was diagnosed as schizofrenic and seeing what the medication was doing to him and after he stopped, I can assure you of this. There is also a misconception that it's only a certain amount of individuals that suffer from mental ilnesses or have mental health issues. The truth is, that EVERYBODY to an extent has some sort of mental health issue. Mental health issues are not simply resumed to full blown depression, schizofrenia, bipolar disorders, etc,etc.
The difference is that in certain individuals they are more accentuated or aggravated.
Read this amazing real life story of Rufus May that was on British TV and was entitled "The Doctor Who Hears Voices". This was an eye opener for many and in many ways for me. I recommend watching the documentary if anybody can find it, particularly when Rufus confronts the psychiatrist who put him in the psyhiatric hospital when he was young in a talk. I am not gonna say more, just watch it if you can.

No pills. I once took an anti-depressant years ago and it made me feel like crap. I told my doctor I didnt need drugs to screw me up. I can buy better highs on the street with less side effects. Well not quite that way. But you get the drift.
Since then not a one. What does help is being quiet or as they say in the here and now, meditation. Seems to get the endorphins pumping and then I just get up and sing "I feel good as my buddy James Brown used to say.
