What a creep; transposing the act of male supportiveness from the sole socially acceptable context of fatherhood to another context where we should expect only either combativeness or some form of bregrudging respect.
it’s a good bit but I dunno I still got that post from the other day on my mind
Aw, I love those guys though. It’s way better than the older man default setting, which is to be as cold as possible and talk exclusively about football and beer.
Actually terrified this is me when I try to be supportive at work
I feel so called out lmao
guy who tries to be a father figure for men older than him
Let me get your walker out of the car, champ
You’re growing up so fast
This is me to people the same age cos everyone i interact with feels younger for some reason.
guy who tries to be a father figure to himself but he doesn’t know how because he never had a father figure growing up
