As a guy, yeah guys might say those things, I was definitely worried that women were thinking those things.
Now that I am older, I give much less of a fuck. And I feel healthier for it.
If it makes you feel better, I’ve never once in five decades had private talks with my girlfriends where any of them said a guy wasn’t manly for having feelings or not being a lumberjack-type. Quite the opposite, in fact. Women in my circles fawned over guys who had empathy and didn’t give a fuck what anyone thought about it. Even our teenage heartthrobs were called girly-men by guys.
I’m glad you don’t give a fuck. Stay healthy. :)
