Dax - "To Be A Man" !!REACTION!! 

Something interesting happened in this reaction. The song is called “to be man” and the lyrics are very specific about men. Right away the man in this video made it about parents. That’s not what the song is about. He included her immediately and included their struggle. He didn’t isolate her from the topic but that right there is the issue. This first reaction I saw to this song where the man didn’t comment or speak on the actual topic of the song from his perspective not one time. He never commented on the topic at hand. Very interesting how he kept diverting the conversation to other topics. Like bro, none of what y’all are talking about is what the song is about. But the reason I like this reaction is because this couple although they seem happy and positive which I’m sure they prolly are, he doesn’t feel safe talking about the topic. She said more than he did. She even looked to him to speak on it and he somehow couldn’t express himself. Almost looked like a defense mechanism. But I’m no professional. I could be off on all this. Just my opinion n observation

Women will never know what's it like to be a man. This song is powerful. You needed to talk about your feelings as a man. College has nothing to do with how a man feels inside. Men don't get the flowers they need. The appreciation they deserve.

The "unconditional loves for women, children, and dogs" he was saying that men don't get unconditional love, and they have to do a lot for someone to love them.

Race got nothing on sex... Someone's gotta fix, build, dig, fight... Nothing gets done if we all cried about ish.

You missed the song's point, it's about men's mental health. To be able to accomplish your goals, just as it's important to take care of your physical health, it's just as important to take care of your mental health. When he says unconditional love is only for women, children, and dogs (shout out to Chris Rock). A man's value is what he can provide.

As a 37 year old that has been workin 6/7 days a week, 10-16hr days since i was 20, i dont understand this "i gotta do what i love" mentality...as a man i have a wife and 2 kids that count on me to provide....cant tell my kids "sorry you cant eat, havent found the job i love yet"..."i know you dont wanna move, but we are behind on the rent because i haven't found what i love yet"...I dont understand how some people can be perfectly happy plateauing in life.

😂 my guy literally folded straight away, what u think…. She’s like WHAT U MEANNNN!! 😂 Yeh oblivious 🤫

Man first reaction I never finished…. So irritating 😂. One love good luck

Technical schools are what we need to be pushing. Today young folks are being pushed into collage just for the sake of going to college. They're coming out with useless degrees, Technical schools are a fraction of the cost & time & you're coming out with a carrier.

The message I get from this song is that for most men, there is no safe space to express our feelings. If we try, we get looked down on and considered weak. It will be used against us at some point. So we grow numb and cold inside because no one wants to hear our pain. It's a lonely road where we, ourselves, are all we got and can depend on. That's why I now choose to live alone after my divorce from a 20-year relationship. I alone deal with my shit and no one else got a say in it. It's rough as hell, but it's a hell I have chosen. Maybe someday, the numbness in my heart heals, and I can feel something lovelike again. Maybe then I will find someone to bring into my life again. But for now I power through because that's what it is to be a man.

She has it right. Guidance is right. My mom and dad did drugs and sold them. I did the same and did 12 years for it. I did the time and have been clean for 20 years. It is how we are brought up!!

9:22. Easy lady with the college talk. These young men need to go to trade schools. Plumbers, welders, hvac people, electritions Those are the people we need

Respect brother

She understood more than him lol

I love u both so funny...

He's like tom...they can rap with the best and sing to..this one hits me hard it's my life

He does hip hop and also sings country.

❤

You are in for quite the surprise listening to Dax

Great reaction new sub can y'all do Dax's Dear God or Books of Revelations

Another thing, Men CANT try to be happy. We dont have time to be happy. In my case, War didnt get fought by itself, rent didnt get paid by itself, etc. etc. I dont have time for happy, I have time for work, Time with my wife and kids(not enough) and sleep to work again. Happy? Nah..... Happy is for women, children and dogs.

The gentleman did not connect to the song emotional struggle of men, totally disconnect from the emotions of other men, the kinda man that would chastise another man if he was struggling, telling him its his fault and its because of the decisions he made or did not make, so the lesson from him is, even men disregard the emotional experience of another man.

Thanks for the great reaction to a beautiful song. DAX is an amazing artist and this song is so restorative for family relationships 😊❤🥰

Yo my grandfather had 14 kids and he was able to afford a house a wife and two cars working as a security guard at the bank

No. Unconditional love is only for women, children and dogs.

I don't think you two understand the song

He was about to talk on the subject 2:00 and her judgmental, "Whatchu mean?!" made him not open up about the struggles of a man because SHE WILL get offended... The world we live in. The man is SCARED to talk to his WIFE about how HE FEELS because SHE WILL get offended. Rather than understand and talk to him about it she will talk about all of her struggles and invalidate his... I won't be back. Unsub.

Eh I was born in the 2000’s and I’ve been working since I was 15
