>>2083247Look, your advice is just plain wrong. Men are dying more from ulcers and shit because people are living longer and we aren't dying from the things we used to (war, preventable disease, and now lung cancer is dropping). Suicide rates are increasing for a number of reasons, but "not crying" is not the cause.
Think of this scientifically. Do you think that manly men is a recent social construct? And if it were, it would need to coincide with the timing of the increase in suicide rates. The social pressure to behave in a masculine way to attract mates has been around since men first had to compete with other men for the best women. Masculinity is valued among women, obviously, and women will select the most masculine men. Occams razor, men will try to act more masculine.
Now, what are some provably recent changes in our lifestyle that coincide roughly with the rise in suicide? I can think of very many. Lower water quality (estrogen in the water), social media, time spent staring at screens, poorer sleeping habits from living in an electric world (which in turn brings about mentally exhausting work shifts). Movies and TV shows that literally depict suicide will also increase the rates of suicide. The information age is depressing because we now know how bad things really are. Also, this is just opinion not fact, but I do not believe that crying helps you emotionally recover at all. After breaking up with my ex I cried a lot and it really didn't change anything. Neither did talking it over. Alcohol, heroine, and time are basically the only things that really help you cope with trauma, harsh reality.
