Talking about guy stuff :) WE LOVE YOU lots of fun photos coming your way on Instagram: @abbyelizabethoward @_matt_howard_ also... you should follow us on TikTok: @matt_and_abby Merch: urfavmerch.com...
Thank you Matt. As a teenager with no friends or mentors to talk about this stuff, this video was helpful to say the least. And to know that we all have some communication problem ;)
hey!! i have no friends either and im 17. it sucks now ik im a girl and it’s not the same as a boy but if you ever need to talk or need advice im here:)
I'm so sorry that you're struggling to find friends or mentors to talk to this stuff about. But I am so glad that the video was helpful. Don't forget that you are innately valuable! Love you dude!
“You just have to know that you as a human are innately valuable”. Our world would 💯 be a better place if more people thought this way. Thanks for this golden nugget Matt ☺️
omg this video help me feel comfortable with myself bc i’m an insecure teen boy and it made me realize i should be proud of who i am physically and morally. have a great day matt and ofc abby❤️💕
Just started watching you guys recently, and you guys already are making my day and making me so happy. ❤️❤️ also I’m not a guy but I’m still watchin 🤣
This was great Matt! As far as "why do some guys have a hard time expressing their feelings?" I want to make a couple points. 1. Matt you mentioned that Abby is much more aware of her feelings; which I would say is probably truer for more women than men. However, it has been made very clear to me, that this is likely bc of the way men are raised when they are boys & what society & culture expects out of men. Men are taught that sharing feelings is weak or makes them "too sensitive" & that being a sensitive man is a bad thing & they are literally not provided the tools to successfully to communicate their feelings & be aware of them. Men at a young age are literally shamed into this & usually grow up believing it to be true. I'm seeing this stigma already be placed on my 3 yr old nephew by his grandfather. Does this mean only men feel this way? No. There are women who were taught the same things that become closed off emotionally. Everyone should be aware of their feelings so they know how to communicate their needs in the relationships they have--not just talking romantic relationships. 2. It has been statistically proven that women speak more words in a day than men do. With this information it would be easy to say, "so women talk more than men!" But that's not the case; women use many more adjectives/descriptive words than men, making their count higher. So anyway, if you got this far, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk ✌🏼
Matt you should tell other men all of these things. More than one needs to hear about how girls bodies are amazing no matter the size. So kudos to you!🗣
i clicked the like button before I even started watching the video. I always do that on every one of their videos that I watch :) I love your respect towards women and I can see that you love Abby very much. That is nice to see in today’s world
@@MattandAbby eek. I’m used to like $2.40. I want to spend a few years there and I have this classic truck that I’d take with me. She gets like 8 mpg😂 Anyways, thank you dude!
It depends on the guy, but most guys actually love and feel loved by having sex. It seems strange to most women, but it's true. Having sex makes a man feel wanted, loved, and manly, so he might think that it's the same for his wife or girlfriend. Therefore, in his mind, having sex is a way of loving her. Not only that, but guys have a strong sex drive because of the way that their reproductive system is set up. I'm sorry if this is too much information. I find it really interesting, and I'm married to a lovely man with a very healthy sex drive, so I've had to learn all of this.
Same, I love how a lot of guys have so much respect for girls on their period and other aspects of our lives especially when they've grown up with moms and sisters, so I want to show the same respect to guys and my brothers
@@gracebleekman2557 I love that. My brothers and I never have really talked about periods and when I have mentioned it, I can tell they don't want to talk about it. For me, especially because of that, I'm even more grateful for males that want to ask questions, want to know how they can help, and just be respectful about it. In my family, I've grown up always thinking that it's a "secret" and I've just been afraid to talk about it, maybe because I have four younger brothers and young siblings but I wish I was in more of a situation where it was a little more open.
@@oliviawilcox8387 yeah I get. My mom did not tell me anything before I started. So I thought I was dying. But still my brother is a little open about it. And I can tell he doesn’t want to talk about it either.
@sweetlikegrande I agree with every word you said, I want all of that too. I have a little bit of trust issues as well with my self and others because of things that have happened in the last few years. I want to find that person who will see the real me, help me become better and treat me good
@sweetlikegrande I want that with all my heart too, just a guy and friends who love me for me, accepts my flaws, and pushes me to become a better person. I only have two friends currently that I talk to anymore, and I feel genuinely care and love me. Almost three years ago I graduation from high school and I lost two friends, both of them I always felt I wasn't at the top of their list. One I still loved so much and wanted to be her friend so badly and had lots of things in common with her and just had tons of fun when together. She knew I saw her that way but she had more friends than I did and I guess just moved on to just them. I still think about it today and miss her even though it hurts so much. I have trust issues in myself for not being as mature and not finding the best friends. I also have trust issues a bit with others and am still super scared to open up again to more people. I want those type of people in my life desperately and really just ling for it, you know? Love you and you are never alone trust me
A little helpful constructive criticism, the sound effect you put when putting a question on the screen than removing really isn’t needed, in fact it is distracting from what you’re saying and not very easy on the ears especially when wearing earphones. Maybe try a softer sound and only using it when displaying the question, not when removing it. Love the vid and you guys!
As a girl watching this, it’s very insightful to hear your answers and explanations! And I’m glad to hear a man talking about confidence, body positivity, etc. because I think there’s so much unnecessary pressure about what “being a man” entails. Kudos to you for giving some great answers to those questions & it’s even helpful as a girl watching this! “You, as a human, are innately valuable” will stick with me for a while ♥️
the reason guys have a hard time expressing their feelings is because our society raised them to think it isn’t masculine to have feelings. but it is! if you guys ever have a son, make sure he feels comfortable with it from a young age and it won’t be so hard for him growing up!
Me and my boyfriend always split paying for dates or just things we share in general I would never expect my bf to pay for everything that’s just toxic
It’s great to get perspectives on burning questions from the male and female points of view. I think you and Abbey both gave wonderful answers to the questions asked of you both. Thanks for your transparency..👍🏾💕👍🏾💕👍🏾💕👍🏾💕👍🏾💕👍🏾💕👍🏾
I loved how you reacted to Abby's "Dance with me while you were busy." Even though it was a Tick Tock trend/challenge, there was something so honest between you. I could honestly feel your love.
I think it’s important that men talk about how they’re feeling. My partner is like you and doesn’t easily cry, but he does have a sensitive side. It’s not a weakness in men at all to express how they’re feeling.
MATT AND ABBY PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! I just found out about your channel and cannot believe the number of growing subs you have!!! Since 3 days ago you gained 8k!!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
