Weird Struggles ONLY MALES Will Understand 

i like the typo where the dad says “you better be a gentlemen and THREAT my daughter with respect”

My parents never ever gave me “the talk”. I just discovered it through my friends and the internet

Great work. My son is three, about to turn four and he said a few weeks ago "daddy I want a beard like you so I can shave." (Exact words, he's very well spoken). It made me tear up a bit. I used to be rather emotionless and a borderline sociopath until I had kids. Now I'm so emotional over them and kids in general. I'll get them learning from this show when they're eight.

Yes, I can confirm that us males are under this kinda constant pressure to act tough, male-like, it's just how it's intergrated into society that makes us behave in a specific way, but maybe it's sorta instinctual.

I had 7 brothers so I understand men pretty well and their struggles. There are pros and cons to being a man or a woman. You cannot get it all.

Man. I'm a female but I love learning about this stuff. It really helps give you a new perspective on things and how others go through life

Girls: “why won’t the boys talk to us?” Look, we go through a whole mental plan just to speak to you. First we have to come up w/ something to say, then we have to think if the sentence conveys the right message, we then choose the best tone to suit our intentions, after that we second guess ourselves and wonder how you’ll react, so we then reword our sentence about 13 times like it’s college thesis, then comes the moment of truth on wether or not we let the phrase exit our mouths. 80% of the time we don’t. Keep in mind, this is just the formula for how we say “what’s up?” Or tell a joke to you.

When it comes to the "emotionless male" thing, people tend to focus on the "don't cry" aspect of it (which I've literally never heard anyone seriously say, in my life), but the primary emotion that gets covered up is nervousness...not sadness. Hiding sadness is in there too, but it's not nearly as common. Learning to hide a lack of confidence is something most guys have to learn at some point, because you're gonna have a really hard time finding someone to be with romantically if you can't ask them out without being a nervous mess. Women will reject you and not even be nice about it. Can't look like a wuss in front of your friends, as a kid, so you better act tough even if you don't feel it. I could go on, but I think you get the picture.

One thing is kind of messed up about growing up as a boy. You are marked for life. Unless you can shake the past, move somewhere new and have good luck. Getting suspended, detention, failing a class, word gets around. Teachers will reinforce your perceived social cast, I was shy so I became a bit of a class clown. I wasnt rude or disruptive, just did really good impressions and witty sarcastic comments. But teachers would subtly ruin your life. "That's not the topic I gave you" but this is 4 weeks of work. "Either fail or do it again?" But hey you definately learn resilience strategies early as a male.

My Dad had the "talk" with the first boy who took me to a dance. Corey just looked at him and said "I don't really understand what you're saying, because we're 12." I could hear Dad roaring with laughter from the other end of the house.

This feels a lot different to a British school, boys in the changing rooms spray tons of Lynx Africa deodorant everyway instead of showering and we wip each other with our belts instead

Where I live, being emotional really isn’t a massive problem for me and other boys, the teachers and principals are fair and never ignorant to a situation, and I haven’t been physically attacked since 5th grade (stabbed by a pencil). But this video really makes me fortunate about being in this school, since the guy who wants you to fight him after school would probably immediately get suspended and would be immediately held accountable.

In high school I avoided showers like the plague and actually talked to a school counselor about it, sort of. I just dropped in a conversation, but they were very understanding about it and it turns out at my school, it wasn't really a requirement since a lot of students also refused to use the showers too, so they didn't enforce it and felt no need too. However, my senior year, I couldn't avoid it. My wrestling team just had a practice during the Christmas break and we were actually going on a trip to statewide wrestling tournament. We were all sweaty and the team in general decided everyone needed a shower since the bus wasn't scheduled to arrive for another 30 minutes. I tried to avoid it but the team insisted and oddly enough it was fine. I used every excuse I could but there was a rebuttal for each one. But in the end I was forced into the shower.

Boys' parents when we mention a girl: So have you thought about names for the kids? Girls' parents when they mention a boy: Stay away from him! He's the Devil himself!

My teachers used to try to embarrass me in front of people, or that’s what I felt like, except for my science teacher, I often got distracted because I have ADHD so I would struggle to get things done but my science teacher made it easier for me to get my work done and didn’t try to embarrass me in front of people and was pretty chill ngl

Bro i felt that,as boys at school there were huge brawls between classes and most of us were never part of them,then they punished the whole grade of boys because "we were all trouble makers",it was horrible to experience, my voice also became deeper at 13 which was nice as it was earlier than my friends

I have never understood the "you must fight after school if challenged" no you don't, I actually believe it's a mockery towards the bully if you don't show, it's like saying "You are not worth my time"

I changed school every year and rolled with every school's rules so I somewhat amazed to learn about what most boys go through.

"threat my daughter with respect" Yes sir of course all the threats going to your daughter will be nothing but the utmost respectful 🙏

As a Sophomore in High school, experiencing his first year in high school. My dad never had the “talk”. I can’t pull the girls but this year has been a monumental step in the right direction, just gotta keep on rolling baby, we got 2 years left and man am I ready to go off

Jokes on you. First time I hung out with a female friend, we went and saw that movie about the reincarnating dog. And yes I cried. And I am not ashamed.

Never got how "Man up" turned into "Be emotionless". It means take care of your responsibilities, solve problems, take action. My dads "the talk" was handing me some condoms and a bag of weed, asking me what they were and saying "good man" when I answered correctly.

It feels like you are telling your personal experiences 😂😂

I had a high pitched voice back at 2019. My last achievement before having a deep voice is my friends and I winning a choir group. This was a School Vs. School thing. There were a lot of schools and we won choir.

Haha hearing all this stuff makes me a decorated boy veteran.

“Threat” my daughter with respect at 3:45. Your spellchecker needs a pay cut 😂

3:45 : "You better be a gentlemen and threat my daughter with respect." Me: Excuse me, what, typo?

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!

Whoever thought to go out on a date is the one who's paying. If a girl asked you, she's paying and if a guy did he's paying. Simple enough.

I haven’t cried in years. Being a guy is great.

One way to not get in trouble at school is to get an early reputation for trying to avoid and never causing trouble. That way unless it was seen by multiple people you can be a bit crazy but if it was only you and someone else than you are not very likely to be blamed

4:45 wait...what..I never..WHAT

The worst one is being a victim of misandry but not getting any attention because men are always guilty.

"You better be a gentlemen and threat my daughter with respect" That typo made me grin

Great video💯

0:38 gym class is actually great in the morning as someone who has it at 7: 45, in the summer it's warm enough near the end but nearer to noon it's already sweltering, especially if you're running

“If one is born as a male, at least once in his life he will think of becoming the strongest” Many of them give up, due to old age or health issues, some just can’t get over their short comings, but there are some who never give up, and are called GRAPPLER

infographics: boys don't cry me after watching Avengers endgame in 2019: its enough to make a grown man cry and that's ok

I snuck into my school's girl's locker room before. I was shocked and amazed at how luxurious it was. It was **exactly** the same size as the boy's locker room, but they each had separate shower stalls and separate changing rooms. I guess this was another example of "male privilege", right?

3:43 THREAT MY daughter with respect, yep got it🤣💀

Boys bathroom gives me flashbacks to Normandy

nothing is worse than puberty kicking in in the middle of class

Such entertaining videos never gonna unsubscribe keep up the great content

3:30 Me a gay man: I don’t have such weaknesses

Bro, infographic show seems more 'intense' lately 🧐

Please make a video on the struggles of Introverts and Ambiverts! I'd love that! Btw, this one was great! 🔥

Bullies have never affected me. I’m one of the strongest people in my school but I like to isolate myself. When someone ever tells me “fight after school”, it’s a bad day for them and a broken nose or jaw.

5:18 “hey nice cocktail” 😂😂

Honestly, the infographics show did an amazing job on this video, I could relate to just about everything.

the part where someone had a stify in class is real haha i never got called but some other guy got caught by our technology/gym teacher in front of the whole class

Yeah ik all about the voice changing issue. I use to be in State honors chorus and some other large groups and then my voice started to change. I never had a cracky voice or squeek but they don't care for deeper voices. I ended up a high tenor who sings at church and in a few smaller groups but still no place in a "choral" setting.

Ahhhh I remember the “good ole” Jr. high/Middle School gym day. I really dunno if my middle school or high school ever had a good fight though, not when I was in school at least.

Me in high school: Ok the liking girls thing will kick in any minute ... aaaaany minute ... Me now: Oooohhhhh ... I'm gay!

I love how the bubble said, "you better threat my daughter with respect..." instead of "treat..." if y'all need an editor, I'd be happy to extend my services.

What about teaching life lessons before they happen to you? From student debt to best way to make friends when you first get to kindergarten? I know it seems taboo to talk about, but remember in kindergarten right before you were let loose for receese? The teacher explained the whole smile and nod social etiquette? I know she/he said it was the only time it was going to be explained, but what about breaking that taboo? Most don't remember that long ago. But you could also help people by explaining challenges they will face in life and give them solutions? I love this video, and I hope you continue with this kind of stuff. Thanks again. Also... girls try not to eat very much when around boys they're interested in. I know it depends on her but that's what I have observed anyhow.

Bro these are on point!

Girls in washroom : Taking photos and making videos. Boys in washroom: Yo bro ! You have a big one.

"If the father is cleaning his shotgun when you show up for your date..." *Ms. Infographics: Shows a repeating rifle, not a shotgun*

Man these struggles are specially American school struggles. Where I live, we don’t shower at school, and it’s rare to change in the changing room as we just wear our sports uniform to school.

0:54 Why is there a female teacher in the boys changing rooms ☠

If one is born male, every one will dream of one day Wanting to be the strongest in the world

*Infographics show.. awesome video yet again*

After years of pressure I am almost completely emotionally numb and find it hard to show empathy and sympathy

As a Cross Country runner who had 4 days a week of morning practice, the locker rooms were interesting to say the least. We didn’t have time to go home to shower so everyone just did it at school. There were usually about 7-10 of us who would all go into this room with showers on the wall (usually enough for all of us) this was obviously pretty awkward especially if you weren’t an upperclassmen who had done it before. I fortunately didn’t do morning runs until my sophomore year, so I didn’t get hazed. too bad. But the towel whipping would get a little hectic post shower. There were some stories of kids getting peed on in the shower by upperclassmen, or getting their towels taken and not given to them until pretty much once class started. Just stuff like that. But I assume this doesn’t happen in the girls locker rooms😂

Congratulations on hitting 11M guys!! Keep up the work👊🏻

im 4 minutes in the video and I, a male, have never experienced the majority of these things... also, are locker rooms and food fights gender specific??

Don't ever be afraid to stand up for yourself especially against a bully. Even when you fight him and loose but you hit him a few times. Next time he will leave you alone because he knows now you are gonna fight back and bullies don't like that

2:26 so true dude

You detailed the boyhood experience down to a science. Remind me why I really loved my childhood.

This video is relatable af . 😵😵😂😂

Working as a teacher, many of these aren't gendered, especially bullying and misbehavior. I would rather someone frame this as a personal story though than drawing a picture framed as absolute.

3:42 “there’s no other moment more nerve racking … than meeting the parents”.

The pig in the zip part brought back my childhood truma. Even listeining to that part sent shivers down my spine.

Very very true and straight to the point! 🤣

Most intense typo I've ever read... "Threat my daughter with respect" 🥶

From a German perspective, this school cafeteria stuff was really unfamiliar. In Germany (at least in Bavaria, It could be different in other states) the school day lasts from 8am until 1pm, so you don't really eat at school. And everyone showering after PE isn't really a thing at my school, since you aren't at school for hours, and you can use deodorant to not smell, and just shower when you come home.

we are proud to gift the 2021 award to the Infographics show for the 'most relatable channel ever'!

Thank you thank u this is so true

I had to deal with play fighting sometimes.. a guy grabbing me trying to pin me down for some reason .. I don't understand rough housing

Somewhat near correct, however at school for me the only thing taught socially & educationally was "that in life there is a social & economic ladder, I am not on it! And more than likely never will!" 15 years later & every memory or person from back then makes me cringe, thank god for the Internet, isolation & a touch of infographics

3:44 " you better be a gentleman and threat my daughter with respect" lol

This sounds more like a personal problem not the entirety of boys problems

1:53 for us its "after school is after school" once u hear that its wraps

5:22 this kids is when my dad taught me the old tuck it in the waist band trick

I have hair everywhere, why should i be shaving so much when i can't just shower properly. But if i could get 100% rid of armpit hair i certainly would.

Yeah I remember when I was like that during my early teenage years nowadays kids have to worry about more than just that they have to worry about saying alive at school sometimes metaphorically sometimes quite literally.

2:23 I’ve never actually seen a food fight but blaming the whole group is very relatable

I think I'm the only one in our school who was happy that the prom was cancelled due to covid. Though I can just hangout with my friends but the feeling of no one to dance with just feels awkward. I was happy since I got the optimal experience of not going through it.

First time I ever shaved was in Basic Training, I didn't get everything and the Drill Sargent made me dry shave in front of everyone. Not very fun.

As someone from middle east, only the first two to three minutes apply for me, lol. When you get to the dating part everything is different 😂

Not the zip lol that right there is enough to call it quits 😂

so true.... just so true.... every single sentence in this video is so true

Mhm I understand the pain for sure I feel all the pain being a teenager boy and if I can go to all the pain and get though it then I bet everyone can, just don't think about it to hard or overdo it everything will go your way but it will take time so I will come sooner then you think :)

Through the years I've been watching you guys I've learned so much. Now i see why school is pretty much useless 😂😂

I feel that “men don’t cry” one because I have a Freind and they said they cried yesterday because of work and I tied and remember the last time I cried and it was around the begging of quarantine

3:45 “threat my daughter with respect” funny typo lol

When your teacher wants you to go to the board to solve a problem but you can’t…i felt that one😭😭

That would explain all the screams of horrors I heard from the boy's locker rooms And then they would just come to gym class like nothing happened???

Lol @ the dilemma with paying or not paying. Say you're totally willing to pay, but that if she would feel bad about you paying you're fine with splitting the bill. "Are you okay with me paying or would you prefer to split the bill? I'm comfortable with it either way." She might say she wants to pay, and all you have to do is say thanks and that it feels nice to be treated. 1) Shows communication and that you're comfortable problem solving by expressing your feelings and thoughts 2)You can't go wrong if she's the one choosing. 3) Leads to conversation and getting to know her. Not including her in decisions is a red flag for me.

i love u infographics
