Plenty of men want to be listened to. You just have to be the kind of person who they feel safe confiding in. If you believe in gender essentialism as you appear to, your male friends probably don't consider you safe to open up to. All

This is basically why "climate change" is coming into fashion to replace "global warming." Warming is the problem, but it manifests in different ways. The same warming that makes worse heat waves also weakens the jet str
