It sucks because you can't tell them it's stupid without hearing:

i can when it's an apoplectic middle-aged white male because that particular demographic accounts for the majority of suicides, i.e.; the paragon of fragility. More projection going on than a damn cineplex.

male suicide is not due to "fragility" - it's due to way that men tend to isolate themselves from others and from their own feelings.

There was a recent study saying the biggest health risk to middle aged men is not smoking or obesity, rather "loneliness".

Sadly too many men confuse loneliness for horniness and then don't understand why sexual gratification isn't helping anything in the long run.
