Description
Why do so many men—especially Black men—struggle to express love, vulnerability, and appreciation? In this xoMAN Podcast clip, we explore how societal expectations and “cool” posturing discourage emotional honesty in relationships and friendships.
The conversation draws from bell hooks’ We Real Cool, highlighting how emotional suppression impacts dating, friendships, and even simple acts like texting back too quickly. For men struggling with dating or rejection, the clip closes with advice on building confidence step by step, starting with something as small as saying “hello” to a stranger.
