Problematic men

I feel like pulling his hair... not mine!! When a man comes and talks to you about his pathetic problems, I thought I am supposed to listen and be supportive. I should refrain from giving advices or suggestions because they are not going to be appreciative of them... or they would want to prove themselves they are able to tackle it. So why are they complaining, obviously they need a listening ear, right? I listened... I tried to say something positive and kept it light-hearted... instead all I got was negative and offensive remarks. Why should I deserve them, you a****** Glyn! Yes, I am being optimistic but I don't see it as a sad thing, being a realist doesn't mean I have to be as pessimistic as you are - then why the hell are you telling me your problems?? Get support?? Or get someone to feel as miserable as you are. I don't think my life needs men like these...
