never is thought given to one of these places as a pressure valve for young men.
Never is it considered that if they had a place where they felt safe, where they could vent and open up, that the entire gender "war" situation might improve.
I could see some place like with with a gym with counselors / personal trainers who would help guys talk through their problems while working out or stretching in some fashion. Lord knows i could have used a place like that in College when my first GF broke up with me (it was a REALLLY bad breakup. she slept with a very good friend and dumped me the next day) and I was seriously depressed.

Even since then it'd be nice if there were places specifically for men to go to get mental and emotional help.
I'm sure there must be some, i'm just unsure how to find them.

Oh well.
