It is very true that men as a whole really do not feel the need to be open with certain medical problems. However, it would greatly help the male population if we were able to discuss our problems with reservations. I personally find myself saying that “I don’t need to go to a doctor, I will be fine” which seems to happen frequently among men. I also know that it is important to go to the doctor and get checked to prevent any future health problems. Great post.

Great post. I completely agree but continue to ask myself, why don’t men get it together?

“For many men, discussing issues of sickness, vulnerability, and death with others (especially other men) is perceived as a breach of their masculinity.” All too true. We learn that lesson early, at our mother’s feet, “Big boys don’t cry.”
