Do Men Pick The Easy Things? - Hobbies vs Confronting Stress, Superficial Responses vs Vulnerability

In this episode of the Man Up Together podcast, hosts Alex Peskin and Bobby Jacobs talk about why men like to start obscure, time consuming hobbies when they are stressed. Then they take a deeper dive into the easier and less vulnerable ways to engage - shallow conversation starters and outsized blow ups - and how this connects to our hopes of protecting ourselves and our relationships, however misguided. They finish by exploring how regular guys and therapists handle stigma around the use of medication for mental health and how men (and everyone else) can make the decision when to use it.
